The art Of cemouflage usually un-
dertakes to make some familiar Oh:
ject resemble something else. trans
forming a machine-gun nest into a
harmless clump Of bushes or row OF
barracks into q rocky ridge. But in
the case Of road the same goal may
be reached by contriving that It shall
still look like road-but like a de-
serted one. whereas 1t may be
really swarIning with troops. This
is brought about by covering the
road with painted canvas like a
tent. under whose . cover the oper-
ations of war go on, unseen by
the enemy. 1t hardly seems posi-
BILE that concealment on such a huge
scale could be successful; yet We are
assured by the writer of leading
article in the Scientific American Of
August II that 1t hes actually been
done. Surprise, he notes, Is still a
predominant weapon OF war. sit has
always been and concea1ment is its
most necessary element. ..-
"One of the most interesting phases
of surprise in modern military opera
tions is the bringing up Of large mass
es Of troops and guns and supplies
without the knowledge Of the enemy.
Won Huticr lays great stress on secre-
cy. He places his principal armies
as far as sixty miles behind the front
lines until the very eve Of the battle,
when they are brought UP by forced
marches at night. During the day
the troops are concealed In villages
and woods; in fact WHEREVER ample
covering can be found for the pur-
pose. Enemy airmen flying far into
German-held land discover no signs
of extensive troop movements. When
the battle opens. the enemy. as was
the case. with the British during
March and the French during May
are taken by surprise, not so much
as regards the date set for the battle,
but largely with respect to the num-
Der of troops involved.
"Rumors have come back from
France telling of the marvellous cam
|oufiaged roads employed by the Ger
mans during their last ili-fated offcn-
sive on the Marne salient, These
| roads, it is said, are important. but
! not necessarily the main arteries iof
travel, for troops and supplies, and
are covered over with mile after mile
of canvas painted TO represent the
original road. Thus to an airmar
