CAMOUFLAGE
From the Brooklyn Eagle1

[From the Brooklyn Eagle1
Hang the crayon portrait of Aunt
Anastacia over the bad place in the
living room wallpaper.
Back the sideboard up against the
place where the wainscoting was
blistered during a chafing dish party
given by your predecessor.
BY keeping the player piano going
you can easily overcome the bang
ing of the family radiator in the liv-
ing room.
The temperature may be made
agreeable with constant exercise
with wall weights, dumbbells and
rowing machines. On heatless days
you can thus fool your landlord and
yourself at the same time.
Place a large Japanese umbrella
up against the ceiling in the library
where the radiator upstairs has
leaked through.
Where you have too many pic
lures, hang them one over the
other-the pictures of your relatives
on the bottom and those of your
wife's relatives on top.

The Circun1LOcutiOn Office
David Lawrence in the Saturday Evening Post.

not more than one hundred yards
away, was branch of the ordnance
department. The employees of the
first officer heard that the neighbor-
ing bureau had telegraphed to
Washington for permission to hire
delegation to see whether they
couldn't be employed; they feared
their work in the quartermaster's 8
corps might end abruptly. But the
ordnance captain told them he was
sorry, but he couldn't avail himself
of their kind offer. He couldn't say
to an officer in another branch of
the service that he believed he had
too many idle employees about, and
wouldn't he transfer them to place
where they were urgently needed!
THAT would not be proper" add
ed the captain. Il must ask Wash
ington and receive help through the
War Department"
So for nearly a month the ord
nance officer struggled along with
insufficient assistance. His employees
were forced to work overtime every
day. and it was with difficulty he
obtained the extra stenographers;
and at last reports there were twen-
ty-five still idle within stones throw
of his office, hired by Uncle Sam,
paid by Uncle Sam, but not being
used by Uncle Sam. Why? Red
tape that forbids business inter
course between divisions or bureaus
in the Army, but insists on round
about communication that consumes
weeks of time, money and patience.
One of the most amusing INSTANCES
heard in Washington is that of two
bureau chiefs, with offices just
across the corridor from each other
in a certain building. One had to
obtain supplies in a hurry, but he
couldn't get them without the neces-
sary authorization from the other.
The office where the request ulti-
mately would have to be filed was
only a few yards away, accessible
by telephone or by half minute S
walk; but those two bureaus main
tanned a correspondence with each
other for nearly three weeks. Their
papers went through half a dozen
other bureaus, travelled all round
Washington, and finally were hon.
ored by the man across the corri-
dor.

BUY JUST ONE STAMP

TAKE quarter go to the post
L Office or some store having a
Trift Stamp card in the window
and buy just one Stamp.
Take it home. Show it to tn,
family. Tell them that you have
just provided Uncle Sam with the
money to buy a few machine gun
cartridges for the boys at the front.
Look that stamp carefully in the
face. Think that it represents your
contribution toward keeping this
war going. Think that if nobody
buys Liberty Bonds and nobody buys
Thrift Stamps, the war is going to
end in a German victory-and a
German victory means that life
wouldn't be worth living for any of
us.
Think, also, that when the war is
over-or before, if you need the
money-Uncle Sam will pay back all
you have put into these stamps
with interest.
Thus, every time you buy Thrift
Stamp you take crack at the Kais-
er and feather your own nest, both
at the same time.
Think of these things! Think of
what America means to you. Then
we know exactly what you'll do.
You'll go out and buy another
stamp. And once you have two,
therell be no stopping you until the
card is full.

NAMED NOT NOMINATED

In these days of food conserva-
ton and with some pretended ef-
forts to choose or slate a Demo-
cratic candidate for governor who
represented the policies of the
president" party of self-selected
representative" Democrats of Penn
sylvania gathered in the inner cham
bers of Philadelphia's highest priced
eating-house the other day and nam
ed q candidate to defeat the hand
picked one of Republican bosses.
According to the censored an
nouncement handed out to the pub
lie the brotherApf Pittsburgh Office
holder was chosen Nr the Demo-
Gratis to vote for to set up in turn
in opposition to either one chosen
personally by 'Brumbaugh and the
Wares or an abler one who has the
cordial approval of Penrose, or
both.
Quite naturally enough the one
picked by these self-labeled repre-
sentatives was an official of one of
the worst-managed and most inso-
lent corporations of the state, a per-
son of no known party standing out
side of his own locality and presum-
ably a gentleman of abounding
wealth.
If the purpose of the representa-
tive" Democrats was to slate a can
didate with the marks of defeat
stamped indelibly upon him they
won. The late Mr.. Harrity was
used to make selections for the DEM =
ocritic party in the same way. We
had hoped that this sort of syeak
imitation had. in at least these Pr
ilous times, gone out of fashion,

HAS A GOOD RECORD

A NNOUNCEMENT that Aaron S.
~ Kreider is to be a candidate
for reelection will be good
news to thousands of his friends
throughout the district. It goes
without saying that he will have no
opposition for the nomination, and.
as usual, he may expect nothing
more than nominal opposition at the
polls.
Congressman Kreider was elected
first during the trying campaign of
1912 in a three-cornered fight. He
has served his constituency admir-
ably ever since. This is a Republi-
can district and it is proper that II
should be represented by a high
type man, thoroughly acquainted
with it's interests and one who can
be depended upon at the same time
to vote also for the best interests Of
the country in measures of larger
import. Such a man is Congressman n
Kreider. He has the confidence OF
Republicans and Democrats alike
both at Washington and at home. Ii

WILHELM'S WILL

One of the latest souvenirs of the
war to make its appearance in var
ious cities throughout the country
is an official-looking document bear
ing a big red stamp and entitled
THE Last Will and Testament of
the Kaiser" The wording of the
will is as follows:
This is the last will and testa-
ment of me. Wilhelm, the SUPER

G ONE instances of red tape in
- the Government are amusing
others are pathetic. Not long
ago National Guard regiment was
being modified in a Southern train
ing camp. Its lieutenant colonel
was ordered to Washington for in
struction in certain staff duties
Three months later the regiment
was ready to sail for France as a
part OF the Rainbow Division. The
colonel wired Washington for his
lieutenant colonel. For days he re-
ceived no answer. Finally came q
telegram: Where did you hear
from Jones last?"
The colonel promptly telegraphed
back he supposed his lieutenant
colonel was in Washington. The
War Department finally said il
couldn't locate the lieutenant
colonel, and the regiment sailed for
France without that officer, who had
been at work every day in the War
Department building, from which
very place somebody had been tele-
graphing. He was at desk not
more than two hundred feet from
the officer who couldn't locate him
Why did this happen? Because nc
real system of registration had been
devised at the time. Think of g
business institution that didn't know
where to locate its employes-and
especially a man who corresponded
in Importance to lieutenant
colonel!
The fact that divisional and bu.
reau duties are so carefully define.
ated by red tape makes men dc
what they are asked to do and moth
ing more. 1t is the system which
makes one man believe that some.
one else is attending to everythins
else. To interfere in the affairs ot
another bureau and suggest that
perhaps somebody may not have
thought of certain thing would bC
in military or naval circles a rank
intrusion--or rather an intrusion or
rank.
Here is n case in point: A certain
officers in the qGartermasters corps
at an Atlantic port had twenty-five
stenographers. They had very little
work to do and were getting anxious
about their jobs. On the same pier

Wdr-SOng of the Women

Death! thou who takest double toll
OF living hearts and dying men
90 graves in which our hearts went
Never in joy to rise AGAIN..
Hark the song we sing to thee
Gray women who are left behind.
Bereft of all we treasured most;
Destroyer pitiless and blind!
You hushed my lovers voice for
me,
And froze the breast whereon my
Once found warm shelter from the
world.
You laid my heart beside the dead.
And did you think your task was
done?
That lovers speech forevermore
Was silenced, that our stricken souls
Were dumb beneath the lead they
bore?
Dark DEATH and If thy Redeemed
hands
Outstretched for more. and more
again,
Should take our uttermost and best,
Grim Slayer, yet they are not
slain.
For we, gray mourners who are
left,
Now serve and love and strive and
yearn,
AS never women did before,
And from their dust such ardors
burn
AS never famed within this world.
Yea, we whose joy died with our
dead,
We, stern baptized in bitter seas,
Beyond the shores of anguish led
BY they dread hand. our eyes have
seen
A vision only grief-purged sight
Can look upon. We thank thee,
Death,
For deathless love and quenchless
light!

TIME FOR JOINT ACTION

TIME man in the audience cannot
always know what is passing
behind the scenes. and for that
reason criticism of the administra-
tion's policy of delay in agreeing to
cooperate with Japan for military
operations in Siberia may be out of
place, but judging from what ap-
pears on the surface it is difficult to
understand why the government is
not ready and willing to shift some
OF its Philippine reserves to Siberia
10 cooperate toward Kidding
that territory of Germans who are
now threatening the huge depots of
American military stores at several
points along the Siberian rail-
road. 1t would appear that we have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose by such a policy.
1t is true that the Bolsheviki
might not relish such a course, bul
the occupation of the territory might
easily be placed on the basis of a
friendly effort to protect the inter-
ests of former ally threatened by
the armies of a hostile power. At all
events, Russia would be divided on
the subject. While the German
sympathizers and those who favor
peace at any price might object,
countless staunch Russians would be
only too happy to have the japanese
and an allied army come in from the
east to stay the triumphant march
of the Germans into their country.
Doubtless such an expedition as the
Japanese propose would attract to it
large detachments of Russian troops
now looking in vain for an anchor
age.
At all events. if the allies do not
go into Siberia with the Japanese
the Japanese may be expected to go
alone, and once in on their own nc
count there may be some trouble
getting them out.

TRAINING THE IDEA

NE EN- who have been following
W the home defense organiza-
tions throughout this State
have expressed considerable admi-
ration for the manner in which the
majority of the men in the Harris
burg Reserves have maintained thu
work, especially in view of the dis
couragements encountered through
lack of heat and light in the Armory.
In about half of the towns where
these organizations were formed
drills were suspended when real
winter started and in Philadelphia
where 5000 men were enrolled, fur
nished with uniforms and rifles.
there is howl going up because the
attendance at drills has been irreg-
ular. Some Philadelphians have
expressed doubts as to what TO do
with the organization upon which
so much money was spent, now that
the police force is up to its max
imum and the Reserve Militia is be-
ing mustered in.
tfNAAiS NtASIlSt ORGANIZATIONS
sprang Up through the desire of
citizens to be ready for any call for
home service, whether at the sum-
mons of the sheriff or the chief Of
police. They worked hard and in
many cases spent much money:
authorities encouraged them and
promptly forgot them. The Reserve
Militia is getting ready for home de-
Tense and to suppress possible dis
order. But the Reserve Militia can
not train the drafted men and
neither does it hurt to have a line
behind the men who wear the
States green uniform. 1t wouId
seem that there is very definite
place for these defense organiza-
tions which came into being when
the country was unprepared- They
can keep on training the men with
gray in their hair and youngsters
at home and at the same time fur
nish good wholesome exercise. Tbev
can instruct the young men of draft
age in the 'rudiments," so that they
will not go to camps "greenhorns. "
Furthermore. these Home Guard or
ganizations are made up of men
who are in earnest, many of them

HARDER DAYS COMING

DoN'T for a moment think that
- 5000" flour. and Liberty
Bread, and ''meatless days.
are to be the extent of our sacrifices
in this war. Speaking in the United
States Senate the other day, Senator
Smoot gave voice to this warning:
Notwithstanding all that has
been done. and as some people
say, sacrificed. the work has only
begun. If this war should con-
tinue two years longer, 1 am
afraid there will be a world scar
city of food and many of our
people will be compelled to go
short to assist in feeding our
army and navy and the armies and
navies and people of other coun-
tries engaged with US.
There are several reasons for this
shortage. First. the submarine,
which sinks weekly thousands of
tons of food. Secondly, deficient
transportation, both rail and water;
third, failure of the world to raise
food sufficient to keep armies in the
field and the civilian population we'll
fed. If we can conquer the subma-
rine, as there is some hint that we
are likely to do within the next six
months, the wastage in that direc-
ton will be stopped. Or if we can
increase our shipping facilities, we
may be able to carry food to Europe
and at the same time bring some
from more distant points such as
Australia. An improvement in our
railroad systems will be another
great help, and this is certain to
come within the next twelve months.
But the farmer and the house
holder cannot trust to any of these
chances. Each family must raise
food for itself. Each family must i'm
the vegetable season, can and pre-
serve more for winter than ever be-
fore. We must cut down on grains
and eat more fruits and other green
things. The home-garden is going
to be the most popular institution
in the land next summer. Thousands
of people who grew vegetables last
year will know more about garden
ing this year and countless others
will take to cultivation who never
handled a hoe. Now is the time to
get busy. If you have a. plot of
ground fit to cultivate-or can get
one for the season-and you do not
do it, let the blame fall on your head
if you go hungry next winter.
