CAMOUFLACE IS
OLD DISCOVERY
Indian Chief Claims His Race Was
Inventors Of Practice Used
During Recent Fighting.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-"Camouf1age Is
as old as the storm god of Indian
folk lore" said Chief Strongheart,
who recently returned from France
where he is credited with having
done more for the fighting tradi-
tons of his race than any other
American Indian.
The Indians were the true in
ventors OF camoufiage," said the
chief, who will go to his Yakima
reservation in Washington state aft
er a brief eastern visit. They dis
covered its advantages in their
earliest conflicts. When a battle
vas to take place in forest in the
summer months, the warriors would
paint their bodies green, with a
dash of other colors to produce the
exact blend with surroundings.
They even sketched birds and small
animals on their bodies to make
the effect more realistic. If the
battle was to take place when au-
tGmu had withered the leaves and
touched them into gold, splashes of
brown and yellow made the war
riors blend with the setting.
The trick. when artfully turned,
resulted in great victories. Many
early settlers we're taken into cap
tivity by use of camouflage.
The French were quick to Wis
ualize its enormous advantages in
the war just closed and promptly
carried the art to its peak"
Chief Strongheart was rejected
by the army because as a leader
of Indian scouts in the service of
the United States in Mexico in 1910,
he received a shot in the leg in a
skirmish with Mexicans. Before
being wounded he killed two Next
cans and took seven prisoners.
Realizing his unftness for mill
tary duty. the chief toured America
fol. army recruits. After an address
ia front of the New York public Ii
brarv one day 233 men enlisted.
Two hundred more volunteered in
New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Heading due west from New York,
hs spoke in large cities for the Lib
erty loan and war stamp drives.
During his campaigns he wore his
native dress, including the head
feathers.
Chief Strongheart said that 49,,
roo American Indians went to
France with the American expedi
tionary force. most of them serving
as scouts He cited an incident
where five Indians enabled the
Americans to capture $4,000 prls-
oners.
