Fantastic Garment Conceals
American Sniper From Foe
BEHIND THE AMERICAN LINES

BEHIND THE AMERICAN LINES
IN FRANCE, Oct. 81. Correspondence
of the Associated Press. 1.-The Ameri-
can sniper wears a fantastic suit OF
green burlap with tubes Of rafia, or
Madagascar grass, sewed thickly over
the coats and trousers. The coat has
headpiece with eyeholes so that the
sniper's head is completely enveloped.
American troops in the Vosges have
used these camouflage suits with great
effect The grass-covered burlap is
merged into the grass through which
the sniper crawls and even when only
twenty-five feet distant his presence
cannot be detected.
These suits are made by French
women in the American camoufiage
station behind the lines.
The disappearing building" is one
of the curious contrivances of the cam
outage artists here. The building is
the size of a two story frame cottage.
Viewed close at hand, it stands out
plainl yenough, and even at 100 feet
the cottage is quite clear. But at the
distance from which the enemy OBJ
servations would be made. or from an
airplane at 5000 feet, the building does
in fact disappear" This is done by
the painting in great wavy lines OF
green and brown, which at distance.

gable, windows and doors, and trans
forms the whole structure into blur
of green-brown color which blends into
the lsass and ground.
THAT is the director of properties
for David Belasco," said the escort, as
we passed soldier. This disclosed
that, besides, the artists of this camou-
f1age coloring, there are well-known
actors, managers, stage managers,
scene painters, property directors and
camera artists.
The actors gave show the other
night for the woman workers. There
was a camoufiage chariot race, camou-
flage gladiators and camouiiage lions
and tigers. One of these camoufiage

BRITISH Navy IS
PRAISED FOR WORK
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Sunday. Oct. 20-On the
occasion of the annual celebration
of Nelson day, the Navy League re-
ceived today messages from leading
public men.
ION the courage, skill and endur-
ance of British seamen depend and
always have depended the issues of
the great war" wrote A. J. Balfour,
secretary of state for foreign affairs.
"But for them, our continental allies
would have been severed from all ex-
ternal aid"
Admiral Sir David Beatty said: con
this anniversary of the triumphant es-
tablishment Of British supremacy, the
grand fleet sends greetings to the
Navy League"
A message from Sir Douglas Haig,
commander-in-chie of the British
armies in France, read: "The heart
of every one in the British army goes
out with mine to all officers and men
of the royal navy and mercantile ma
rine Words fail me in expressing
adequately the gratitude and admira-
ton for our comrades of a sister SER
vice. Thanks to their triumphant eff
forts, we remain mistress of the seas
and supplies of all kinds, not merely
for our vast empire, but also for our
allies, have never for moment
ceased to flow"
Admiral Viscount Jellicoe wrote:
1.-THE events of the present year have
emphasized to an exceptional degree
the supreme value of sea power, not
only to the British empire, but to the
allied cause as a whole. 1t is sea
power alone that has made it possible
to bring to and maintain in the main
theater OF the war on the western
front that great United States army
which has turned the scale of battle
1t is sea power also that has made
possible the recent great victories in
Palestine and Macedonia"

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN
pies, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blenaishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1.O0. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

The announcement that the Jersey
cattle breeders of Maury county are
to reorganize for the purpose of TAX
ing advantage of the opportunities for
testing and feeding experiments at
the Middle Tennessee Experiment
station is another demonstration of
the value of that great institution
to Maury county. While the farmers
are increasing pork and beef produc-
ton in this county at an enormous
rate, one of the county's most i'm
portant farm industries will be over
looked IL the dairy business, which
depends SO largely upon Jersey cat
tie, is not encouraged. There was a
time when Tennessee Jerseys, and
Maury county Jerseys as for that
matter, ranked with the best in Am

Saturday every owner of registered
Jersey, or anyone who desires to own
a registered Jersey, should be pre-
sent to aid in putting Maury county

In August is going to be an important
day In Tennessee, one that should not
be neglected even because Of our In.
terest in the war. So important Is II
that our friend Col. Thomas II. Pee
bles has pertinently suggested that it
should be designated as Public
Welfare Day"
The public welfare is. indeed large
ly dependent upon the outcome Of that
day of strenuous voting. For Tennes-
see to do her best In sustaining her
share of the burden and responsible
tiles of the war 1t is necessary first
that the state be well governed. Upon
the officials to be elected or nomi-
mated will devolve many Of the respon-
sibilities for the performance of the
states duties In the war. The peO-
pie Of the state will be performing a
war duty in the selection of Officials
who will Loyalty and efficiently keep
the machinery of state government
working in harmony with the great
program of the nation. II ever we
need efficient state government it is
now.
There has been disposition
throughout the state to decry politics
during the war. and, as general
proposition, that is right. But 1t
would be unfortunate both for the
welfare of the state and the prosecu-
ton of the nations war program il
the people of Tennessee in their ardor
Of patriotism and interest in war
activities should so far neglect their
political duties as to abandon the
election of officers to less patriotic
minority and suffer the county and
state governments to sink into rank
inefficiency.
Election days always are public
welfare days. Never has there been
a more important day in the affairs
of civil government in Tennessee than
will be the first Thursday in August.
The war has the attention and the
service of all citizens who are patri-
otto. But no good citizen will fail to
give sufficient consideration to the
election to be held on that day. To
fail to do this would be as unpatriotic
as to neglect to perform some duty
bearing upon the nations
success in the war.
There is no necessity for long,
boisterous campaign, such as has
characterized some periods of polit-
ical activity in Tennessee. The cam
paign this year should be as short
and as calm as 1t would be possible
to present to the electorate the quail
ifications and the platforms of the
More than that would be
hurtful. But it is OF the highest i'm
portance than every voter give some
thought to the approaching election
and prepare to cast ballot that will
be as patriotic in its personnel as
anything else the voter may stand for
during the war.
