Heads of dummy soldiers made of papier mache aud mounted on long poles pe?r with staring eyes over the tops of imitation parapets in the Amer ican camouflage station here. They are decoys for the German sniper to shoot at and thus disclose his hiding place. Long lines of these dummy fig ure. lean against the walls of the "toy shop," as the soldiers call it, a huge buildingwhere companies and regiments of Imitation soldiers are manufactured. Soldier heads, eomo bareheaded and others wearing hel mets, are first modelled by sculptors working in soft white clay. This is repeated in papier mache.

Finally they are mounted on stout poles and are ready to be held up as decoys along the trenches, to draw the fire of tho enemy. Very often an enemy sniper will disclose his whereabouts by taking a shot at cue of these papier-mache soldiers peering over the trench front.

Hut instead of being real soldiers, this was a regi ment of "silouettes." Each figure wan life-size, pahitc-d on thin board, and cut out much as children cut out paper dolls.

They are used in the early dawn, when there Is a mist which makes it difficult to detect the deception. During the night they are posted in open order far in front. As daylight breaks Hie enemy sees this irray dimly outlined thru the mis It usually draws Hie fire of machine ;uns and batteries, and gives in vance the main lines of enemy resis tance. With this disclosed, the men 'enp forward a;id living figures take die place of the painted silouettes. Near the silouettes, artists were turning out a number of most artistic iree stumps. Tbo stumps looked very natural, covered with moss, but each was a handy box from which a sniper could work his gun.
