CAMFAGEESSENTIAL
FOR CONCELING SNS
HUNCHES OF BURLAP IN NETS
AND GREEN UMBRELLAS
ARE USED
Behind American Lines in France,
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press). - Seven hundred French
women are employed in the Ameri-
can camouflage station here making
nets to screen from observation
American batteries and machine-gun
sections. There was a burst of pa-
triotic song as the Associated Press
correspondent entered the large build-
ing where they work, for many of
them sing as they sew.
The screening of artillery is the
most important work of camouflage,
as it is the main reliance in deceiv-
ing the aerial observer and camera
and in preventing the enemy from
locating our batteries.
Green Burlap Protects Batteries
For this purpose huge camouflage
nets are provided of wire and fish-net,
which cover the guns like a great
horizontal tent. In the netting are
tied bunches of green burlap, of the
same color as the surrounding grass
or foliage. And thus viewed from
above, the overhanging green net
merges the battery into the land-
scape of trees and turf.
Hundreds of these nets were being
made by the women workers. The 75
milli-meter gun takes an overhanging
net 30 feet square, the 155 milli-me-
ter gun has a 37 foot net, and the
American machine gun gets an 18 foot
net. The nets are graded in 10 col-
ors of green and earth-brown, so that
the shield may have the exact tint
of the surrounding trees. The nets
are shipped to the front in huge bun-
dles, one net for each gun.
Steel Cabins Guard Observer
In the carpenter shop huge frames
for green umbrellas were being made.
The umbrellas open like an ordinary
sun-shade, and camouflage a machine-
gun. In the blacksmith shop, the men
were turning out steel "cabins" which
are sunk below the ground, for an
observer. They have a front of bul-
let-proof steel and are abouts strong
as a small safe. In one of these an
observer is safe in the midst of a
shower of shrapnel.,
Laying on paint much as a scrub-
woman wields a mop, an artist was
walking about on a gigantic camou-
flage screen for an airplane hangar.
The great piece of painting was spread
on a field and covered an area of
1,300 square yards. The artist was
using a brush as big as a broom.
"amouflage is making a constant
battle against the aerial camera,"
said the escort, "for with photographs
made from airplanes the enemy gets
a complete view of our positions un-
less they are obscured by some de-
vice of camouflage."
ENEMY RETREATS TO DUTCH
BORDER; LOSE 6,000 SOLDIERS

Bantheville region would further in-
crease the menace to the German lines.
East of the Meuse river the enemy
Saturday attacked the American po-
sition in the Bois-de-LaGrand-Mon-
tague, but was repulsed.
Wilson Rejects Austrian Note
President Wilson has rejected the
request of the Austro-Hungarian gov-
ernment for an armistice. Austria
was informed that conditions have al-
tered since January 8, when the Pres-
ident enunciated his 14 points, and
that any change in the Austro-Hun-
garian empire must be made in ac-
cordance with the desires of the
Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo-Slav na-
tionalities.
Germany, it was reported from
Geneva, would dispatch Saturday
night its reply to President Wilson's
note. The reply, it was reported,
would accept all the terms, with the
exception of that concerning subma-
rine warfare.
NEW
YORK HOSPITALS NEED 1,000
KHAKI BAGS IMME-
DIATELY
Lansing, Oct. 19.-The women of
Michigan are asked by the war pre-
paredness board to help supply cer-
tain articles for the aid and comfort
of Michigan's sick and wounded sold-
iers.
"The Michigan boys who have been
sent home wounded and incapacitat-
ed and are now in New York hos-
pitals are in need of khaki bags,"
said Miss Ruth Hurd of the war pre-
paredness board.
Bags for Personals Needed
"These bags are used by the men
to hold their personal effects and are
to be made of cotton khaki clbth. They
should be made 21 inches long and 10
inches wide with a firm draw string
in the top, of either tape or heavy
cable cloth. One thousand of these
bags are needed at once.
"In the hospitals and at the Michi-
gan office of the war preparedness
board in New York city, Michigan
soldiers are served dainty and home-
like refreshments. We are asking
that Michigan women, contribute to
these boys some jellies and con-
serves direct from Michigan homes.
"On account of difficulties in ship-
ping, we are asking that the jelly be
put up in regulation size jelly glass-
es securely sealed with parafine and
sent here prepaid. We will forward
it to the New York office.
Soldiers Require More Sweaters
"While the home town provides the
first consignment" of knitted goods
when the boys go into the service,
it must be remembered that sweaters
and other articles wear out and oft-
entimes a boy gets to an embarkation
port after spending several months in
a training camp with badly worn
socks and sweater. Consequently he
is oftentimes forced to go across with
an insufficient supply of these things.
Sometimes, too, the boys lose their
clothing while being transferred to
one camp from another.
"Especially at this time of year,
we want our office in New York to be
able to fill the needs of our Michigan
boys and this demands that Michigan
women and girls make socks and
sweaters in order that all of our
boys may be warmly clad."
All articles such as knitted goods,
or jars of jam, intended for the Mich-
igan soldiers in New York, should be
sent prepaid to Miss Ruth Hurd, care
of the war preparedness board, Lan-
sing, Michigan.

the canteen service, telephone 222.
A ward in the University hospital
was taken over for the accommoda-
tion of influenza patients yesterday.
Thirty-five men are 'at present being
cared for in this ward.
