U-boats when he feared for his own life

 This sentence is from the latest Ger man document on camouflage to reach American intelligence officers, having been found on a captured lieutenant. More than a thousand words are devoted to the science of camouflage, the article being dated at army headquarters and signed by Lieutenant Colonel Faupel, "by order of the general commanding the army.
 Every form of camouflage has been worked out in minute detail by the Ger mans, one part of the article saving: Do not make a head of earth removed at any time, but scatter it immediately.

Religious Mania Reportedh
 Many Parts of Germany

Amsterdam, October 26-Weird out bursts of religious mania are. reported from many parts of the German empire
 The commander of the Nineteenth army corps at Leipzig has found it necessary to prohibit meetings of a sect known as the Little Flock" which originated at Meerane. It's head is a weaver named Hain whom his adherents address as Holy Father" He poses as the Mes siah and pronounces sentences" from his judgment seat from which he separates the sheep from the goats"
 The new Messiah has achieved some measure of popularity by his attacks on the established clergy on the ground that they draw stipends which, he says the Apostle Paul never did; neither does he, himself. The Little Flock" craze, 1t seems, has. spread to such an extent in Saxony, especially among impressionable young people, that the authorities have had to interfere.
 Many extreme an-Germans have given way to kind of heathenish mysticism They openly propagate 8 revival of the pagan worship of the ancient Teutons, including offerings to Wotan.
 A more modern offshoot of this queer movement is headed by one Ludwig Neu- her, who definitely renounces Christian ity on the superfluous plea that it is foreign to the German ideal" Family life is out of date, says Neuner and all children should be charges of the state.

Tt is best to distribute the columns lirregularly under trees. In villages keep close to the houses, walls, enclosures of gardens and hedges, but if possible, with irregular distribution. The best side is always the north side of houses and walls on account of the shadows. In small courtyards the wagons are lined up one beside the other and tarpaulins joined in order to make a roof.
