of Real Offensive.

Washington, March 2l.-The key to
the 1918 riddle OF the western battle
front is in the hands of the supreme
war council ut Versailles.
Decision as TO the time and place
OF major offensives by the allies rests
with that body.
t directly controls, alsos officials
here believe. new weapon forged
during the wiiter with which to make
eitectiye its plans of grand strategy.
That weapon Is believed to lie in
pooling of the army reserves OF all the
allied armies, permitting overwhelm-
Ing concentrations at selected points
OF attack.
American observers now are. con-
WINGED the German high command
plans a defensive campaign. and that
the long-talked of drive on Paris or
the channel ports has been abandoned
The initiative, according to this
view, rests with the allied and Amer

Communlques are being closely
scanned for the first Indication Of any
offensive operations mapped out at
Versailles.
The supreme council was created
under the urgent insistence of Presi-
dent Wilson for aggressive action this
year, based on co-ordlnated plans and
under the direction of single agency.
The exact scope of the councils au-
thority has never been disclosed. 1t

George and by Lord Curzon, however,

armies are to be concentrated will
show where allied blows at the Ger

Ii there Is TO be no German drive,
as the war department predicted In
its weekly war review, the council win
not be forced to hold its reserves for
defensive purposes, and can devote
this new agency to attempts 20 smash
weak points In the German line.
Opinion as 60 the sectors offering
the best opportunity for allied assaults
varies widely here. There is sub,
stantial agreement. however, that the
Italian front may In fact become the
main theater Of war this year.
In any event even though the SUI
preme council might have decided to
make the effort to break through In
Italy, 1t Is believed that the first
moves In the game would be played in
France and Flanders.
Drives with all the appearance of
being the real offensives Undoubtedly
would accompany or precede the main
thrust.
The pooled allied reserves under d.
rectlon of the Eupreme council would
make possible 1, campaign Of such ma
ture, designed TO keep the German
command perplexed as to which as
sault would be driven home.

THE REAL" cAMoUFLAGE

At first, camouhage was the clumsy
stimulation Of nature. Boughs of trees,
the thatch of houses and the beams of
deserted buildings were used to shelter
guns. But soon the fields were swept
so clean that every tree became sus-
picious and every wreck of a house
was bombarded by artillery and
bombed by aviators.
Then came the camoufagc that made
the word familiar with a new and
t!nely-descriptive word. Sign-painters
and house-daubers were called to paint
canvas in the colors cf earth AS this
proved successful, scenic artists were
assigned the task. Artists CORPS were
mohilized and the work thoroughly or
ganized until, finally, it became prac-
ticable for an artillery officer to pro-
cure any camouhage he might desire
upon few hours, notice.
All this called for counter-eforts, as
interesting and as ingenious as the
camouAage itself. How was an avia-
Tor to tell whether the ground below
ilinl was deserted field or was canvas
md framework concealing hundreds
of guns? How could the artillerist
Know Wi2en he was wasting shell on
4 mound of earth or was SCATTERING
guns that had been the death of thou
sands? Something could be learned,
OF course, by careful ground observa-
ton and by the ceageless scrutiny OF
the front. Gradually, however, the
armies have come to rely for the pen
etration of camcudage on the work
of the aviators and of the natEema-
ticians whQ study the shell traject-
cries.
AS the system is now developed, al.
armies have trained aviators who go
UP regularly with conveying battle
planes to take pictures Of the enemy
positions. Their negatives, developed,
enlarged and printed, are gone over
rnicroscopically by men whose prof.
cheney in reading photographs is posi-
lively uncanny. We know it sounds
unbelievable but here is an example
of what numerous British map read
ers can do with these photographs
An aviator may come back with pict-
ure taken at 10000 feet. On the print
the map readers know there is a hid
den battery. They search fer it vainly

the aid of powerful rnagnifying glasses,
infinitely small tracks. These lead in
a definite direction. By following the
course Of these tracks, trained men
figure that horses from the battery
have been led to water, and they know
that where the tracks end, elsewhere
than by the watercourse, a battery
may be concealed. They report. Guns
are trained accordingly. The next
days photographs may show ruined
battery. 1t seems a fairy tale, does
it not, that the tracks of horses will
show on a photograph taken from an
aeroplane which is itself a scarcely
discernible spot in the heavens2
But there were thousands Of in
any other evidence Of camoufage could
could be seen. Then it was that the
British and French devised trick
which may now be described, mas
much as it has been discovered by the
Germans. 1t occurred to a clever avi-
ator that perhaps the Germans might
be painting their camouAage with the
naked eye and might not be using eff
fects that would withstand a color
screen. Accordingly some of the svi-
ators made observations with different
color screens before their lenses and
were delighted to find that, in accord
ance with laws familiar TO all photog-
raphers, the yellows or the greens
had been filtered out" The result
showed plainly where the German
guns were hidden and led to an eye
opening bombardment. 1t was some
days before the Germans found out
what was happening and why their
faithful camouAage had suddenly be-
come so useless. But when they dis
covered the reason, the Germans very
promptly countered by a device as
simple as that the British were en-
pIoying: where an artist desired to
get a general yellow effect on camou-
hage, he merely put on yellow glasses
The color that then appeared yellow
to him was hideous to the naked eye
but it dsfied the color screen of the
camera. This accounts for the curl
Gus futurist color effects seen in pho
tographs of camouiaged tanks.
Now both sides paint and photo.
graph through color screens. and &
new method of camouAage will havc
to be developed.

AMERICANS NEAR HOME. IN FRANCE

Official announcement of the pres

Marne canal places our men closer to
the German frontier than almost any
other of the allied troops. One good
push, in some places, will put US on
the soil of the Boche.
Another very interesting fact con-
nected with the location of our troops
is their proximity to the town of St.
Die This lies close to the frontier,
and is quaint old place, nestled an
der the Vosges Mountains. Centuries
ago, St. Die was famous for its univer-
sity and the university was famous for

WOULD RELEASE MEN OVER 81

Secretary of War Baker favors the
discharge from draft liability of men
who have passed the age of thirty
one since registering last June. This
is not understood to include the men
over thiTty-one already In uniform
in environments. The War Depart
ment does not approve OF reducing
the draft age so as to make youths
under twenty-one liable to call. The
opinion is held that those below
twenty-one are too immature for SER
vice, while the inclusion of men over
thirty-one would materially inter
fere with the economic structure of
the country as most of these men
are married or settled in business.
