CAMOUFLAGE is ANCIENT ART
Expert Tells Artists Trojan Horse Was
an Early ExampIe-Used
in Civil War.

New York.-Camoufage is ages old
Macmillan Toch, adviser to the United
States government in the art, told 8
meeting Of artists and architects here
"It saw its birth in the day Of the an
GENTS" he said.
s'You all know how the Greeks cap
tured Troy by the strategy of conceal
ing warriors in the wooden horse.
shakespeare wrote Of camoufage,
too, in Macbeth. Confederate sol
diers in the Civil war were camou-
tagged by their uniforms of gray that
blended with the dust of highways"
Mr.. Toch explained.
The artist explained that he and a
staff of fellow-workers have been MAX
ing visible objects as nearly invisible
as possible. He said one important
center was camouf1aged only after so
experienced men had worked four
weeks.

SAMMY BUGS BY BILLIONS

itary service wherein dead fighters &C
.complish more than live ones.
These colonies are grown until al
members of it are good, fat, robust
germs, skipping around enjoying ife
and just itching to give somebody q
fine case of typhoid fever.
Germs to Fight Germans
The men who have brought them to
strength and maturity by working in
sealed rooms surrounded by damp,
steamy atmosphere then proceed to
kill them and dress them up in their
glass gladrags and black hats. These
men have worked like trojans at their
task and despite close watching by
government inspectors, many of them
have tainted at their work. They make
as few and as slow movement, even as
to breathing, as they possibly can get
along with, to prevent circulation of
air and harm to the germs.
Now the germs are ready for the fin

needle roll the billion, seven hun
dred and fifty million dead. Then
they ride around his system on the tide
of his blood. They are still full of typ
hold poison, but being dead they have
no way of directing that poison against
the soldiers health.
Still Hunt For Disease
But the poison, made active by it's
contact with the blood, has to attack
something, so it hunts up all the live
typhoid and para-typhoid germs in
the mans system and offers battle.
The live typhoiders accept the chal-
lenge and mobilize. The dead typhoid
ers poison blindly does likewise.
Then the two armies go to it. They
fight it out from the top of that mans
head to the tip of his toes, sometimes
for days. The heat of battle frequent
" makes the man, who is also the bat
tlefield. feel feverish and rotten.
But the dead bugs, being already
dead and unable to die any more,
though still able to fight, eventually
kill all the live ones, on their necks
in an attitude of victory.

BY GEORGE MARTIN

INGTON-Billions of pro-ally
rDHgs to fight diseases that fight Amer
:, cia's soldiers who fight the kaiser are
being sent to camps at home and
abroad and syringed into our Sam
mics by army surgeons, tn government
announced today.
Between April l and November the
government, through its army medic
al school here, has reared family
of eleven quadrillion, seventy-two bill
Z ion, two hundred and fifty thousand of
these battling bug-folk If every one
of them didn't get born, grow up and
raise a large family at the rate of
several million every few minutes the
government couldn't have done it.
All From One Couple
And the funny part of it is that
every one of that staggering nation of
bugs grew from the lineal descendants
of an old Adam and Eve bug family
caught and isolated by the British
government II years ago. Inter-mar-
ried with them are few trillions of
native American stock, just to let the

in an army of over 10000 men, There
were only 81 cases among guardsmen
and Is among regular army men on
the Mexican border during the mobil
ization there.
