CAMOUFLAGE IS REAL
protection for sfiips
New developments In the art of
marine camouflage have effected
radical changes In the painting of
i-bips to protect them from the ene
ir.j. Modern naval warfare no long
er reckons upon "Invisibility" as :
defensive factor, authorities having
arrived at the conclusion that paint
itself, being dependent upon light,
vill not overcome shadows. "Baffle
painting" has been developed as a
substitute to deceive a submarine
commander as to the size and form of
a ship, and her course and speed.
Camouflage on land still Is success
fully applied along the line of pro
tective coloring, by which guns and
toads and men aro made virtually in
visible under screens which Mend
with the surrounding terrain. In the
case of moving ships, under condi
tions constantly changing and the
elusive horizon always a difficult
inatter to deal with, similar princi
plies were found les3 efficient than
those which frankly admit the exist
ence of a boat, but by peculiar color
t'Ohemes offer the torpedo such a
;iieer, deceptive target that a hit U
only a matter of luck.
Lieutenant - Commander Xorman
Wilkinson, Royal Xaval Volunteer
Reserve,, the inventor of "baffle
, pointing," came to the conclusion af
ter long experiment that the moment
a submarine corees to tlie surfac
vlthln striking distance, no methol
of painting wculJ render a ship suf
ficiently invisible to escape bolus
:-een.
"There was a time,' the nrth-t'says,
"v':on I thought it pofslble to in-ci't-ose
or decrease a ship's visibility.
Tint that was before the submarine
was considered as a real active factor
In naval warfare."

tion the submarine hydrophone, by
which the presence of a ship, her
probable size and her course can be
ascertained under water. The prob
lem, therefore, was resolved Into
rendering the ship as difficult to hit
a possible, and baffle painting, the
only present nationally accepted
method of marine camouflage, was
evolved.
Baffle painting is simply a project
for breaking up all accepted forms
of a ship by masses of strgngly con
trasting colors, distorting her ap
pearance bo as to destroy her gener
al symmetry and bulk. The idea Is
totally to mislead the submarine. Of
course some vessels so painted have
been sunk, but there are records of a
far greater number at which torpe
does were fired unsuccessfully. Equal
in importance, a much larger propor
tlon of baffle painted vessels which
are Tt by torpedoes are able to
nake port than ships- painted gray,
owing to explosion In less vulnerable
parts. The aim of the submarine U
thrown off by the camouflage.

t'mes In newspapers, confirm the sua
cess of the system and prove its value
of defense against the submarine,
The newspapers recently contained a
Etory of an encounter between a baf-
f'e-palilted freighter and a German
U-boat, In which the latter was ram
med and sunk. The article conclud
ed with this pertinent paragraph:
"The theory bearing on the incl-
syntem of camouflage, designed es
system of camouflage, deslkned es
pecially to elude submarines, deceiv
ed tho German commander. On his
issumptlon he mistook the course
hold by tin ship and Instead of com
ing to tho surface at right angles to
the course, got squarely In tho way."
A clever story is told of a meeting
N-t ween r.n excursion steamer and a
v-;-,l1 outward bound from an Atlan
tic port to dure the submarine under
refection of her baffle color design.
The parsonsrrs crowded the excur

when a woman shrieked, panic "was
Imminent.
"Shut up, you fool!" yelled a man
who understood the principles of
baffle painting. "She's heading six
points off."
It was true. The camouflage had
so changed the aspect of the boat
that she seemed to be going In a dl
lectlon where she was not heading.
That Is the purpose of baffle paint
ing to keep U-boats guessing as to
whether their prey Is "coming or go
Snt," Marine camouflage Is under the di
rection of the navy department, with
the work executed by the shipping
board's department of camouflage,
headed by Henry C. Grover, of Bos
ton. In each district of the shipping
board Is stationed a district camou
fleur, with a corps of trained men.
The organization now comprises more
than 100 camoufleurs, Including a
number of artists of national repute.
New baffle designs are continually
In preparation.
In the opinion of Mr. Grover, cam
ouflage Is a decidedly disturbing fac
tor. "We know from valued sources
that the submarine does not like our
baffle painting," he observed. "Mr.
Wilkinson Informed me that the en
emy had sketched a number of their
baffle painted ships In neutral ports,
but I don't think that will help them
a little bit."
A school for training camoufleurs
has been established hy the shipping
board, under the direction of William
Andrew Mackay. The educational
work s based on the results of re
search, Investigation and the actual
experience gained in the painting of
ships by camouflage. Students In
applying for this branch of service
are required to have a good elemen
tary knowledge of line and color and
light and shade; therefore profes
sional artists, commercial artists and
icene painters are given preference
CARE TAKEV TO DEFER
AGKICl'LTl'RA h WORKERS
Hcsnington, D. C, Sent. 26. Un
der the rules of the war department
for executing tho new draft law, sne
cial provision Is made for Informing
tho district boards In regard to farm
labor requirement1) In order that nec
essary food production may lie mr.ln
tained, says a statement Issued by the
Department of Agriculture. The
statement continues:
In tho new draft district beards
arc charged with the duty of putting
into deferred clasps those p.ns'ms
who are nioro likely to further the
war by remaining in civilian occupa
tions than by cute: in;; tho army. Ac
cordingly, three advisers a-o to lo
selected for each district board one
for agriculture, one for labor, and
one for other occupations. The agri
cultural advicer will lie appoint! d by
tho board upon the recommendation
of tho Secretary of Agrlculliiro. The
niMa'.Ts aro not members" of (In
board, but may, when invited, attend
its meetings.
Tho duties of the agricultural advi
sor will bo to furnish to the board
facts relative to farm labor require
ments, not only of bin
yut of the wliolo country. Ho should
bo tho repository of all fact i haWna;
relation to tho deferment of aurl
vuituuu woritcrs, wnciher tuco lie
necessury farm laborers, manage or
operators. Ho wXIl ho expected to
advlso tho dist: let boards hs to a
shortago or surplus of necessary farm
lunorors, managers or nnirt;m tin
will bo expected to ndvhjo tho district
boards as to a shortago or surplus of
necessary farm workers for any given
district, as well as for the entire na
tion. Such information will bo" sup
plied to tho advisers by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. This will make
AIT
it possible to have ucost:r.ry workers
transferred from districts in which
they may not be necessary to other
districts in which they are sorely
needed.
The adviser may also concern him
self with individual cases that come
before the district hoard. He will
have the right, under certain condi
tions, to examine the quotsionnalre3
and other records in the flies of the
local board for tho purpose of ascer
taining whether persons entitled to
deferred classifications have actually
claimed it. In case he flnd3 the
names of such registrants ho may file
for them a claim for deferred classi
fication with the district board,
which, In turn, may require the local
board to certify the questionnaire
and record of any such registrants
for consideration. Reasonable time
wjll bo given for the purpose of ob
taining Information and supplying
the affidavits required. If a local
board determines to consider a case
for deferred classification becauso a
registrant Is engaged In a necessary
occupation, notwithstanding no claim
for deferred classification on that
ground has been made, It shall en
dorse the recommendation on the
questionnaire of the registrant an
forward It to the district board hav
ing Jurisdiction. The district board
wll thereupon consider tho case an
proceed to classify tho registrant
notwithstanding the fact that m
claim for deferred classification by
or In respect to the registrant lias
been made.
COOK DESERTED HIS "SUM"
TO IIKI.I' CHASE GERMANS
The company cook of an American
detachment close to the battle front
stirred tho "slum" viciously. It was
evident that ho was disturbed about
something.
"This Is a great Job for a full
grown man," ho commented In the
Hearing of the Red Cross man who
hi'd stopped to get a bite to cat.
"Mero the wholo company Is fight
ing lilto mad up tho road and I have
to stay behind and wrestle with a lot
of pots and pans."
Tho Red Cross man tried to cheer
tho disgruntled one with a disserta
tion along the lines of "they also
terve who only stand and wait." He
pointed out that an army "moes en
.13 stomach, ' and that (lie work of
the cook was just aj important, a

TOKE-
EM'ERIMEXTS TO SAVE
SPACE ON MlirnXG REEF
Chicago, Sept. 26. Major-General
George W. Goethals, chief of the divi
sion of purchase, storage and traffic
of the general staff of the army, has
commissioned Arthur A. Hammer
schlag, president of the Carnegie In
stitute, and Lieutenant-Colonel J. W.
Mcintosh, subsistence division, Q. M.
C, N. A to co-operate with the Chi
cago packers in experiments which
may save up to 40 per cent of the
tremendous cargo space now requir
ed for shipping fresh beef. Presi
dent Hammerschlag and Colonel Mc
intosh have already reached (he
stockyards and the experiments have
begun.
The experiments contcmplnte not
only the conservation of shipping
space, but also the problem of hav
ing the packages small enough to he
handled by the class of labor availa
ble 'at unloading ports overseas and
the quick and convenient Issuo at
supply depots in France.
They range from the mero cutting
if tho carcass Into more convenient
sizes and shapes to the entlro boning
of tho carcass to be packed in boxes.
Jt is estimated that if the plans prove;
practicable a saving of from 15 to
40 per cent of the room now used In
transporting the same amount of beef
will bo made possible. Since fresh
beef constitutes a considerable part
of some 3.10,000,000 pounds of nccf
and pork products now sent monthly
to the ullled countries, tho saving by
the new method may prove to be con
siderable If found prnctlcal. The
bones and Biirplus fats salvaged by i
tho operation will be converted Into
various by-products.
The chief difficulties encountered
so far have been the necessity of ob
taining enough labor sufficiently
skilled In this particular work and
the providing of facilities necstary
to liandlo tho quantities required
without interfering with production
of other meat products being prepar-
d for our armies and those of our al
lies.
In considering tho question of
pence by diplomacy, wo must remem-
er that howltws anil machine guns
