German Camouflaqe.

A British air officer, writing from the western front, says that the Ger mans have this spring brought cam outlage to Il state of artistic perfection that is almost incredible. The most expert and highly experienced airmen are often deceived even when flying low" he writes. "As first step, the German military authorities sought suggestions from the most distin- guished German artists in color. AS a next step, every available man was turned on to the business of carrying out the artists ideas. Miles of canvas painted to look like roads were con structed, under which regiments could march without being seen. Paper en- campments were improved and aero dromes, woods, villages and factories of purely fictitious character were set up merely to distract observers and to cover the movements of troops and guns. Nothing on so vast a scale has ever been attempted before"

WATER COlORED BY PLANTS
Interesting Discovery the Result of Tests Made by Scientists of
 Harvard University.

That many marine plants cause sea water to become alkaline when ex- posed to sunlight Is definitely proved through interesting experiments de- vised by w. J. V. Osterhout and A. R.. C. Haas of the laboratory of plant physiology. Harvard university.
 These gentlemen have found a way to measure accurately the increased alkalinity. Without going into details, 1t may be said that this consists in i'm mersing green seaweed In q glass tube of salt water to which few drops of phenopthalein have been add ed. After exposure to sunlight, the water turns pink, and the degree of pinkncss, measured by matching against the coiors of series of tubes containing the same concentration of indicator in series of buffer solu- tons" of known alkalinity, gives the quantity of aikali produced by the ac- ton of the sunlight.

SUSTAIN VERY SMALL LOSSES
Enemy Moving Back Faster Than Allies Can Be 5roush, Up- Americans Continue Good
 Work

Over cu1ving front of more than 20 miles the British and French troops are continuing to sweep back the Germans eastward across the plains of Picardy from the region north of the Somme, east of Morlancourt, to the eastern bank of the Avre. north west of Montdidier
 As on the first day of the offensive, material progress was made Friday over the entire battle front Many ad- ditional villages were captured; the bag of prisoners was largely in- creased; numerous guns and great quantities of stores were taken, and heavy casualties were inflicted on the enemy by tanks, armored motor cars, the cavalrymen and infantry. The losses sustained by the Anglo French forces are declared to be relatively small.
 To the Allied forces there have fallen 17,000 German prisoners and between 900 and 300 guns, many of them of heavy caliber, and innumer. able machine guns, trench mortars and kindred small weapons.
 To the north of the Picardy theater the Germans also have given ground on two important sectors-on the ia nous Lys salient, northwest of La Bassee. and in the region southwest of Ypres, on the equally famous bat tleground north of Kemmel On the Lys sector territory over a front of more than seven miles was evacuated by the enemy, while to the north of Kennel the British have advanced their line over front exceeding 1000 yards.

No HostiIities Intended, but Action Is Taken to Defend Homes--Ger-

Washington.--The state department has received confirmation of the decla. ration of state of war between the Bolshevik government and the al lies
 In message from Moscow, dated July 31, American Consul Poole said that Lenine, in a public speech before members of the Soviet, had declared that state of war existed.
 Later the allied consuls called on the commissary for foreign affairs for an explanation. They were told that Lenine's declaration did not neces- sarily mean hostiliues, but that it i'm piled state of defense rather than a state of offensive war. He added that Russia wished to continue relations with the allies under similar circum. stances as with Germany.
