V 8. r- -a.- - fc t B lr ,i r I? Manufacture in Franco Camouflage Effects. Pro ceeds Apnce of nMnd -i '-Oct. 28. v American I,lnf In - Hendi of dtinftiiy Franc, noldlers Jnndc of papier innclie and mounted on Jong poles peer with stnrlng ycs over the )opa of Imitation parapets In the American camouflAge station here. They are decoy for the Ocrman sniper to shoot at and thus dlscloso h's hiding place. Ixihb lines of these dummy figures lean against the walls of the "toy shop," as the soldiers call It, a huge building where companies ond regiments t of Imitation soldiers are manufactured. Soldier heads, (some bareheaded nml (Others wearing helmets, are first modeled by sculptors working In soft white clay. This is repeated In papier machc. , A big oven balces the papler-tnnclic heads to the renulreil hardness. Then V they pawi to the artists, who put 6n r th natural tint nt flisah nntfnrm anA Tlelmet. Klnally they are mounted dn stout poles and nre ready to be held tip as decoys along the trenches to draw ho Are of the enemy. Very often nn enemy sniper will dlscloso his where abouts by taking a shot at one of these papler-timche soldiers peering oer tho trench front. Turning from the plaster decoys tho correspondents wcro suddenly confront ed by a whole teglmcnt of soldiers united and In full field equipment, and 'thrown but in open order as the men no forward In the early morning rnlds. But Instead of be'ng real soldiers this was a regiment of "silhouettes" Kach figure was llfe-sffie, painted on thin board and cut out much as children cut j out paper dolls. Some were kneel ing and flrlvig: others were firing from tho shoulder, nml others ntood tit rest. They were fine-looking "men," cery ono of them, and tlie'work of tho bet artists. These silhouettes are one of our most eiiecuve means ot camounage, it was explained. They nre used in the early dawn, when there Is a mlRt which makes it uimcuit to detect the deception. Dur nig me nigni mey are posted in open order far Iif front. As daylight breaks me enemy sees till array dimly out lined -through the mist. It usually drawn the Are ot machine guns and bat terlesand Elves In advance the main lines or enemy resistance. With this disclosed the men leap forward and living figures take the place of the painted silhouettes. Near the silhouettes artists were turn ing out a number of most artistic tree stumps. The sttinips looked very natu ral, covered with mos, but eacli was a hftlinV hnv from tl'litph n enlnoK nnl.1.1 woik with his gun. One-of these handy Doxcs was itiMUe a pile or old tin cans, "and In another the observer looked through an orifice of u helmet whlrh had apparently fallen on the battlefield. But the cans and the helmet were not real; nil camouflage. A very effective camouflage, used along the top of trenches, is a simple box of rough, irregular shape, painted td resemble earth and oovercd with gravel and twigs. This Is set upon the edge of the trench and looks Just like the rest of tho cnith, but Inside there Is room for the head and shoulder of a soldier, who can look about aft though head and shoulder above the trench.

There's a full-blooded Utc Indlnn from Dolcnloii, thicks County, on the fight ing front In France, a private with Com pany a. of tho 111th Iteglmcnt, nnd the value of that descendant of an original American as a fighting unit Is vividly poTtraycd In Information which Private John Atkinson has sent In a letter to his brother, Hugh Atkinson. Before going overseas, and while In Dojleslown, the lUo Indian was best known simply as "Chief floss," This Is the story of Chief Ross, told In Private Atkinson's letter; "Tho lite war cry rang through a French town a few days ago when Pri vate Chief Iloss, battalion scout of the 111th, during a moment of triumph over his German enemy, forget himself and uttered jthe ancient tocsin of his race. "Chief ltoss Is not what could be called "a model soldier, lie has been known to salute nil olllcer only once, nnd that was when he had gone to his cap--tain for the third time to secure a pass. He says 'L'gh" for "Yes, sir,' and shnkes his head for "Xo, sir.' 1'p until the other day he had been known to smile only one time. "Chief Iloss exhibited splendid ten dencies us n scout while at the training camp In America, and when his regi ment nrrlved In France, he was, with others, chosen as a battalion scout. Then It wus that his real work began. Tho llrst day his regiment went Into battle Chief Iloss was very active. By night, ha knew every shell hole in No Man's Kaiid, the location of every maUilne-gun nest, and of every hnlper. "It was during that first day of bat tle that the Indian scout relapsed into a silence profound even for him. Ho spoke to no one. except on very rate, occasions. When directed to" perform a certain er rnnd ho simply gruul,ed und then seemed falily to vanish In the underbrush or forest. The errand performed and he has never fallen down yet, whether- It bo a machine-gun nest that needed to be silenced or merely a sniper ho would riliirn to his own lines often without ilio fnrmalltv ot even reporting to his Rpniit commander. "Ills notions were noticed by the French officers and pollus. What they thought of him at first they were too polite to tell, but soon they began to understand and .admire him. There came the night nt Flumes when the' scout officer nnd a patrol found them Belvcs lost In a dark wood. They dared not go one way or another without first obtaining cettaln Information as to their location, for fear they might walk di rectly into the German lines. They were discussing their problem in whispers when u dark form that of Chief Iloss slipped quietly to the "side of the scout officer, touched him on the arm and, with u grunt, started off, the officer and the patrol following. Within fifteen mln .utea the party returned to the American lines. -Chief floss developed a strong fond ness for u Herman l.ugcr pistol he nau captuicd'ln the German ticnches. He cirries it with him at all .times for fear one of .his white brothers will amines: It, nnd he has been known to sleep with It strapped to his belt. It is with this automatic pistol that he accomplishes much of his details as :i battalion hcout. He rarely carries anything else, except ing pobsibly a few hand grenades. Ills supply of ammunition Js always low. but he manages to visit the German trenches often enough to replenish his supply. "Just a short time ngo, the scout commander expressed a wish to acquire ji pair of German field glns'ses. He made the comment v another olllcer. In the hearing of Private Chief Iloss. That night a scouting party went out, and ltoss was a member. Next morning, the Indian approached the scout commander and handed him a pair of fine , field glasses. 'I get him In dugout,' was all he said, pointing toward the German lines. "But, his greatest test came during the American advance beyond Flsmcs, across the Vesle. A machine gun was holding up the advance with u most harassing fire. It was broad daylight, three o'clock In the afternoon, and the task of silencing that gun was left to the scout commander. The men (select ed were Private Chief Ross and three otheis. The patrol disappeared into the underbrush, with the Indian lending, his I.uger pistol ready, nnd two grenades bulging In his hip pocket, "It was discovered that the machine- gun emplacement was In the high w In flows of a building some 200 yards from tho American lines. Two men were left In front to draw the tire from -the nest, nnd Private Chief IIosl' and the fourth man ndvnnced, ono from either side. It was Iloss who got within rnnge first. He crawled to within a few yards of the building nnd he could see the muwle of the machine gun protruding thyugh the windows. 'An Instant later a well-nlmed sren- ade hurled by the Chief, burst Inside that window, killing one of tho two Germans and demolishing the gun. The surviving German ran to a back window nn,l slid to the eround nt the rear. where he would be protected by still other German machine guns farther In the rear. The Boctio was running, but not nearly so cunning as tho Ule. Chief s"to?s found a way to the roof, swung himself catlike to the ridge of the roof, nnd had a commanding view of the flee ing Oermnn machine gunner. Three shots from that I.uger pistol finished all that was to he done. "Then It ns that Private Chief Iloss released his tribe's nnclent'war whoop. And If the other members of the patrol could have seen the face of our Ute Indlnn nt Just that minute, they would have seen film smile for the second time slnco ho rrlvcd In France." GEN.
