 It was true. The camouflage had so changed the aspect of the boat that she seemed to be going in a
 irection where she was not head ing.
 That is the purpose of baffle painting-to keep U-boats guessing as to whether their prey is going or coming"
 Marine camouflage is under the direction of the navy department with the work executed by the Ship ping Boards Department of Camou- flage, headed by Henry c. Grover, of Boston.
 In each district of the Shipping Board is stationed a district camou- fleur, with a corps of trained men, The organization now comprises more than one hundred camoufleurs. including a number of artists of na- tional repute. New baffle designs are continually in preparation.
 In the opinion of MT. Grover, camouflage is a. decidedly disturbing factor.
 "We know from valued sources that the submarine does not like our baffle painting," he observed. "Mr. Wilkinson informed me that the enemy had sketched a number of their baffle painted ships in neutral ports, but I don't think that will help them a little bit"
 A school for training camoufleurs has been established by the Ship ping Board, under the direction of William Andrew Makay. The edu- cational work is based on the re- suits of research, investigation and the actual experience gained in the painting of ships by camoufleurs. Students in applying for this branch of service are required to have a good elementary knowledge of line and color, and light and shade |; therefore professional artists, com mercial artists, and scene painters are given preference.

belonging to his division do new men find their way in.
 The plan has been worked out after a careful analysis of British and French casualties with a view to determining what percentage of casualties are evacuated from hos pital of class A, that is, men able to return to combat troops, and the army authorities believe that for the present at least it will meet the situation that had arisen. It tends to perpetuate the unit per sonnel and non-commissioned grades will be to certain extent filled by promotion from within the di- vision itself.

HUN CAMOUFLAGE

Long before Marshal Foch began his brilliant counter offensive on the Marne, the Germans had been told that his reserves had been ex- hausted. This is shown by a Wolff Bureau dispatch published in the Berlin Tageblatt, which described the fighting about Chateau Thierry.
 "The hope of the Entente regard ing a decisive intervention of the great army of manoeuvre has been definitely shattered. The proud army of reserve which the war coun- cil of Versailles played out as it's trump exists as such no longer" |" reads the despatch.
 ''The great victory of the Crown Prince has shattered a considerable part of the enemies fighting force and has resulted in the dissolution and complete dispersal of the Foch army of manoeuvre. The tremend- ous losses suffered by the Entente on the extensive fronts between Ypres and Rheims will be difficult to replace"
 This was published in Germany about month before Marshal Foch struck the Germans on the Marne salient and drove them back to the Vesle. It probably shows, says a correspondent of the Associated press, why the German public was so greatly surprised by Marshal Foch's brilliant stroke.

Reports from Seward state that Lowel creek, running through the city, went on another one of its frequent rampages recently. this time doing considerable damage. All the briges with the exception of the Broadway bridge were washed away, the railroad on Spencer Flats was torn up and considerable damage was done to the electric light plant, necessitating the closing down of the plant for repairs. The town has been without electric lights for several weeks. The city has been working on new channel for the past few months, but the flood washed this out and the creek is now running down the old channel bed again.

"Some of the out side work, next winter, as in the past winters. will have to be sus- pended because of climatic condi- tions, but other work, like that in the machine shops and other de- partments and in the offices of the Commission, will be carried on with out any Interruptions"

A WAR PROBLEM

The problem of Keeping the com bat units of the United States army up to full strength, or replacement as it is technically termed, has been a perplexing one to the military authorities. The experience of the French and British did not answer their systems of replacement are based on different conditions than those that confront our officers. Both are fighting virtually at home while we are overseas.
 Originally it was planned to create one Replacement Division for each corps. This was to be fully equip ped and organized division fed from a depot division as men were drawn from it to fill the combat divisions. Theoretically this was perfect, but problems of many kinds began to develop in practice. First in time of need is was seen that com pleted and trained division could not lie idle but inevitably would be drawn into the combat troops, thus destroying the essential replacement reserve.
 Then came a question of per sonnel and morale. A very high percentage of wounded soon are able to return to the front but, under the proposed system when they were discharged from hospital their origi- nal units were filled and they were sent to strange commands. In this way the spirit and loyalty that is developed in each division, making it a coherent body with character istics all it's own, were threatened. Officers and men returning from hospital went into the Replacement Division and then might go where chance sent them, into new regi- ments and new divisions, even into new corps.
 The military authorities soon saw this was destructive of morale and We're then faced with an alternative system.
 A recently issued general order provides for a Replacement Bat talion" for each corps. This is to be under command of the corps commander, its strength is not fixed but will vary as circumstances re- quire and it has only small per sonnel. As wounded officers and men of class A are evacuated from hospital they go to the Replacement Battalion of their original division and eventually find their way back home to their army family. Only when a division commanders re- quisition exceeds the number of men of proper grade and arm originally

BATTLE PAINTERS
 CURB SUB MENACE

WASHINGTON.-N develop ments in the art of marine camou- flage have effected radical changes in the painting of ships to protect them from the enemy. Modern naval warfare no longer reckons upon "invisiblity' as defensive factor, authorities having arrived at the conclusion that paint itself be- ing dependent upon light, will not overcome shadows. "Baffle paint ing" has been developed as sub- stitute to deceive a submarine com mander as to the size and form of ship and her course and speed.
 Camouflage on land still is sue cessfully applied along the lines of protective coloring, by which guns and roads and men are made virtu- ally invisible under screens which blend with the surrounding terrain. In the case of moving ships under conditions constantly changing and the elusive horizon always a diff cult matter to deal with, similar principles were found less efficient than those which frankly admit the existence of boat, but by peculiar color schemes offer the torpedo such a queer, deceptive target that a hit is only a matter of luck.
 Lieutenant Commander Norman Wilkinson, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, the inventor of "baffle painting" came to the conclusion after long experience that the mom- ent submarine comes to the surface within striking distance, NO method of painting would render a ship sufficiently invisible to escape be- ing seen.
 "There was a time," the artist says, "When I thought it possible to increase or decrease a ships visi- bility. But that was before the submarine was considered as real active factor in naval warfare
 His decision took into consider ation the submarine hydrophone, by which the presence of ship, her probable size and her course can be ascertained under water. The prob lem therefore was resolved into rendering the ship as difficult to hit as possible and baffle painting the only present nationally accepted method of marine camoufuage, was evolved. .-
 Baffle painting is simply a pro- ject for breaking up all accepted forms of ship by masses of strong ly contrasting colors, distorting her appearance so as to destroy her general symmetry and bulk. The idea is totally to mislead the sub marine. Of course some vessels so painted have been also sunk, but there are records of a far greater number at which torpedoes were fired unsuccessfully. Equally im7 portant, a much larger proportion of baffle painted vessels which are 1 hit by torpedoes are able to make port than ships painted gray, ow- ing to explosion in less vulnerable parts The aim of the submarine is thrown off by the camouflage. i Frequent reports, appearing some times in newspapers, confirm the success of the system, and prove its value of defense against the sub- marine. The newspapers recently contained a story of an encounter between a baffle-painted freighter and a German U-boat in which the later was rammed and sunk. The article concluded with this pertinent paragraph.
 "The theory bearing on the in- cident held by shipping men is that the system of camouflage designed especially to elude submarines, de- ceived the German commander On his assumption he mistook the course
