| WASHINGTON, March 21.- The
pomp and pageantry of war fast are
disappearing.
The days are gone when thin red
line" advancing with colOrs flying
and bayonets cleaning, presented the
enemy with easy cann0n-fodder.
In the first place, the respondent
uniform has been discarded by all bel
ligerents for one of sOmber, 1nconsplc-
uous hue. The reason is obvious
the human target is delineated with
dangerous distinctness when bright
colors are worn. For almost the same
reason, bayonets are no longer burn
ished. A raiding party. lurking in No
Mans Land cannot afford to have its
presence betrayed by the CLEAN of
light from a star-shell on polished
piece of steel.
Moreover, the regimental standards
usually are left at headquarters. A
color-sergeant probably would find
himself in a difficult position if con-
fronted with the necessity Of fighting
off an enemy and keeping the flag
waving at the same time.
A sad feature of the present war is
that there will be no youngest drum
mer boy" For many years the proud
individual who held this distinction in
the Civil war has been dying off by
hundreds, so perhaps many post-bel-
lum controversies have been averted
by eliminating the picturesque boy
iSh figure.
The blare of bands usually has been
associated with memorable advances
of troops, but the musicians now can
| be convinced very easily that trench
concerts might prove unhealthy
There still remains, however, the skirl
of the bagpipes.
The general of the lace-encRmbered
uniform and flowing hat pNBes has
passed out with the horse-hair sofa

cerned. In the gloomy corridors OF

the trim fighting man of today. The
garb of the modern American soldier

PUBLIC ASKED
TO HELP BAIT
TRAPS FOR SPY
Wide Publicity and Alertness
of Citizens Will Bring Re
suits.

WASHINGTON, March Fl. - To
make the public generally vital ele-
ment in the governments spy trap is
being considered by government Of
ficials who advocate abandonment OF
the present practice OF suppressing in.
formation of the activities Of enemy
agents and the substitution Of policy
of wide publicity.
The theory Of the new departure is
that publication Of details OF attempts
to hamper war production would dis
close clues of perpetrators not now
available In the great majority OF
such cases nothing has been discover
ed on which to work in hunting out
culprits.
Wide publication of all that was
known Of the cases, the officials con-
tend, might attract attention OF clu-
zens to what is going on around tnem'
lead to the apprehension of the Grim
inals, and cause those who harbor evil
designs to remember that all the per-
sons with whom they associate may
be on the watch.
Nearly all the cases OF sabotage al
war plants, show much ingenuity
Many are OF little consequence in al
fecting war production.
Recently, at a naval base, a rock
filled dock blew up. The only mate
rial in sight was the rock itself In
vestigation showed that quantity OF
calcium carbide had been mixed with
rock to which it bore a strong resem-
blance. AS this substance came into
contact with water, an explosive gas
was made and eventually exploded
The work was badly torn up
Wide publication of that incident, 1t
was pointed out, might have attracted
the notice OF persons who knew that
some one had been purchasing cal
cium carbide.
