HOW 'CAMOUFLAGE"
| STARTED IN FRANCE

PARIS, Feb. 26--"Camoufiage," or
the art of making a soldier look like
a tree, a battery of artillery look like
a clump of bushes, an army headquar-
tiers like peaceful farm, and villge
like few acres of pasture land is now
said to have been originated by Com
mandant Kopenhague, of the French
army. Experiments were made in Oc-
tober, 1912, at the Camp of Avord, the
object then in view being to render a
troop of infantry invisible to observ-
ers in airplanes.
The success then achieved did not
establish the institution because the
means employed were so cumbersome
and expensive in execution. 1t was
only afr the first few months of the
war that the painters services We're
called into play and canvas and paint
as we'll as underbrush became useful
adjuncts of the army.

CAMP PLOT To SHOOT
DOWN ALL OFFICERS

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash, Feb,
22-Four national army soldiers are
held in the guard house awaiting a
presidential warrant which will mean
their internment as enemy aliens who
plotted not only to shoot their officers
the first time they went into action
in Europe, but also to deliver all the
American soldiers in their organiza'
ton to the Germans.
The names of the men under ar
rest have been withheld by the Judge
Advocate pending receipt of advices
from Washington. A general cleanup
of enemy aliens in Camp Lewis is in
full swing, and thirty-four were dis
charged from the service today. Al
together about 200 have been weeded
cut from the ranks of the 81 st Di-
vision, and the work is not yet COM
pIeted. The internment or prosecu-
ton of those discharged today rests
with the federal civil authorities.

IRISH FOOD CROPS
TO BREAK RECORDS

DUBLIN, Feb. 26.-Food production
in Ireland this year is expected to ex-
coed all records, according to the an
nouncement of Sir Thomas Russell, of
the Irish department Of agriculture,
who has made arrangements for the
filling in 118 of 100000 acres of land
in addition to that under cultivation
last year, when 100000 more than in
1916 were planted. The increase this
year will be compulsory.
The government has guaranteed the
farmers against loss. Sir Thomas re-
ported that there had been no serious
difficulty in forcing the increase in
planting last year and that only 1864
farmers had refused to carry out the
instructions of the government. OF
these 500 had yielded, under pressure,
and he stated that the farms of the
remaining 264 would be operated by
the department of agriculture.
There has been considerable short
age of butter and its export has now
been prohibited by the government,
Enlish buyers came over here and
went into the country buying at a
higher price than the maximum, and
there was not enough left for the Irish
market,
Ireland has begun to develop mar
garine trade and factories have been
set up in various places notably Cork
and Waterford.
The general impression made on
English visitors to the Dublin hotels,
is that Ireland is better off for food
than England and that the restrictions
there had much less effect.

CLOTH OUT Of PAPER
IS THE GERMAN IDEA

NEW YROK, Feb Practically
all the textile mills in the Chemnitz
(SaXony) district, the centre of that
Industry in Germany. were making
cloth from paper during 1917, the
available supply of cotton and wool
fer textile purposes having been en-
tirely exhausted. A few establish
ments were spinning and weaving fab
, rics of nettle fibre by the process in
vented by an Austrian scientist during
the war.
Profits from the manufacture of the
substitute cloth were, according to a
review Of the industry published in a
recent number Of the Cologne Gazette,
by no means small and many plants
made good dividends.
Scarcely had the mills been con-
verified to working upon the paper
yarns, however, when the manufactur-
ers were unpleasantly surprised by
the news of an alarming shortage in
the new material. viz, wood pulp,
almost the entire supply of which is
required as base for explosives and
other munition purposes, and the
prospects for the textile plants for the
coming year were described in the re-
view as very poor.
Nettle fibre as a possible substitute
fo- paper yarn is available only in
limited quantities so that only few
mills can be employed upon that raw
material.
The paper cloth in question is not
regular paper, but is made of yarns
spun from fibres made of liquid cellu
lose or wood-pulp and woven like
cloth, with warp and wool 1t is ex
pected in Germany that paper cloth
will dominate the market for some
time after the conclusion of the war,
owing to the difficulty of getting sup
plies of cotton. AS to nettle cloth,
concern has been formed to establish
regular plantations of nettles upon
waste lands to supplement the casual
roadside and fence-corner supplies but
it will be long before the nettle fibre,
which resembles that of fax, can come
Tito general use.
Tulle factories in the Chemnitz dis
tricts were well employed during 1917,
but the supply of silk was running
very short.
Machine works and munition plants,
usually converted textile mills, in the
Chemnitz district were extremely busy
sduring the entire year, and paid good
dividends, in addition to laying aside
large reserves to finance the return to
normal lines Of production after t
war.

To RepIant Forests.

LONDON, February 26.-An exten.
sive scheme of replanting, by the
state, of the forests of the United
Kingdom, so as to make the country
independent of imported timber, is pro
posed by the Forestry Committee of
Reconstruction. 1t is proposed tC
plant 1,77O,O00 acres of forests in the

ing. For the first forty years the cost
is estimated at fifteen million pound
sterling, after that period, it is de-
clared, the plan would be self sup1

Hertling Speech
Is Seen, as War
Not PeQceT Talk

Washington, Feb. 27.-German I'm
perial Chancellor Won Hertling's
speech In the reichstag yesterday con-
tinuing the discussion Of the war aims
OF the belligerent powers has not
changed the situation, in the opinion
of high officials here.
Instead of marking an advance to-
ward peace, it is regarded rather as
the hands of the German militaristic
party by endeavoring to convince the
German proletariat of the impracti-
cable nature of President Wilson's
aims as disclosed in his most recent
address to congress on Feb. II.
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the presidents four fundamental
principles for a basis of peace, Count
Won Hertling dismissed them as ideal
istic and unavoidable by insisting that
! they must depend for their applica-
ton upon the realization of conditions
which cannot be met
London. Feb. 27-As far as the
British public is concerned the mild
words of Vount Won Hertling concern
ing Germany's pacific intentions and
his partial acceptance of President
Wilson's basis for lasting world peace
fell upon almost deaf ears. A few
weeks, even a few days ago their re-
ception would have been different, but
German speech is Judged here by Ger
man acts. All details of the new war
against helpless Russia rob German
statesmen of their stock in trade-the
plea that Germany is waging a war OF
self-defense.
Paris, Tuesday, Feb. 26.-The con-
census Of opinion in official and diplo-
matte circles concerning Count vor
Hertling's speech is that 1t Is "wal
speech" not peace speech" The
French press generally considers
Chancellor Won Hertling's speech as
simply continuation of Germany's
efforts to create differences between
the allies.

WANTS EIGHT HOUR
DAY PUT OFF UNTIL
THE WAR Is ENDED

Chicago, Feb. 27.--In concluding his
testimony in the stockyards wage arbi-
tration today John E. O'Hern, general
superintendent for Armour and Com
pany, in response to questions by
Judge Alschuler. admitted that the
packers had for some time been plan
ming in buildings and equipment to
meet the eight hour day when it ar
rives. He said there undoubtedly was
a tendency toward shorter working
day. He insisted, however, that the
change from ten hour to eight hour
day should not be until after the war.
The question of overtime, he said, the
necessities Of the packing industry
would always require long day at
certain busy seasons. He believed the
amount to be paid for overtime should
be determined by the wage scale for
the basic day.
