AMERICAN CAMFOUFEAGE

A Make-belieye forest stands
along the edge of the road at the en-
trance to the American camouflage
station behind the American lines in
France. 1t looks as natural as the
real woods along the fighting front,
with shiny silver bark of the bee
ches, the rough, jagged trucks of the
old apple trees and the sprouting
tops of the dwarf willows.
Yet, every tree in the camouflage
Il Forest has a steel core within which
an observer peers forth to watch the
movements of an enemy or a machine
gun is located to sweep forth from
its hidden recess. They are only one
of the many strange devices to de-
ceiye and mystify the enemy which
this American camouflage station is
sending forth to the fighting army.
Camouflage is one of the distinct.
ly new products of the war, even in
the narhe, which was used for the
first time by General de Castlenau,
Chief Of Staff Of General Joffre. The
word is not good French, but comes
from the argot, or French slang, the
lerb "camoufleY' being used by
French police to Indicate any disguise
used to capture criminals. For exam
pie, a detective camouflages himself
by dressing as coachman.
Early in the war a famous protrait
painetr,. Giron de Sivela, conceived
the idea of Disgusting batteries, and
buildings by painting them in fanta.
site patterns blending with the land
cape. He laid the plan before General
de Castlenau, who struck with the.
practical value of the plan, exclaimed
"Camouflage." And from that time
