CAMOUFLAGE IS

BOCHE DEFENSE
With the Americans in France.—
“Deceive the enemy by false tracks
in woods.”
This sentence is from the latest
Herman document on camouflage to
reach American intelligence officers,
having been found on a captured
lieutenant. More than a thousand
words are devoted to the science
of camouflage, the article being
dated at army headquarters and
signed by Lieutenant Colonel Faupe'
“by order of the general command
ing the army.”
Every form of camouflage has
been worked out in minute detail
by the Germans, one part of the
article says: “Do not make a heap of
earth removed at any time but scat
ter it immediately. There must be
no fresh cuts visible, as marked
contrasts result from it between the
light and dark surfaces, the lattel
appearing as deep shadows on the
ground. Do not change natural
shapes. Positions in fills and em
bankments must not change the
form of fill or embankment. Use
the roads, fills, embankments, slopes,
sunken roads, edges of woods, to
greater extent.”
Regarding resting columns of
troops, location and nature of halt
ing places for troops on march the
document sets forth:
“It is bestto distribute the columns
irregularly under trees. In villages
keep close to the houses, walls, en
closures of gardens and hedges, but
if possible, with irregular distribu
tion. The best side is always the
north side of houses and walls on
account of the shadows. In small
courtyards, the wagons are lined up
one beside the other and tarpaulins
joined in order to make a roof. This
appears as a smooth and very
natural surface on the photograph,
which does not attract the enemy’s
attention.
In broken country seek the pro
tection of the ground; the north
side of embankments, hollow roads,
hedges, etc. When there is no cover,
irregular distribution is required.
“Even at night make more use
of tracks which are generally dark;
the columns can then with difficulty
be observed by airplanes. On the
other hand columns on roads which
appear light can be seen even at
night. Infantry columns will be
divided into small groups distributed
in depth and advance along the
shady side of roads. When air
planes use light projectors at night,
keep in the shade of trees or build
ings.”
The article ends with this gen
eral rule: “When surprised by air
planes either by day or by night,
use all natural shade provided by
trees, embankments, houses, etc.,
and remain motionless.”

HUGE PROJECT 10
SWELL PRODUCES
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Under
taking a project which will cost
about $89,244,000 and will add 523,
440 acres of tillable soil to the area
of Holland, and which will require
33 years for completion, the Dutch
government has begun preliminary
work of draining the Zuider Zee.
A commission has been named to
take the necessary steps for the
commencement of construction work
under authorization of an act passed
by both houses of the Dutch legis
lature, which received the royal sig
nature June 14, 1918, according to
a report from Commercial Attache
Paul L. Edwards, at The Hague.
The work of turning the bottom
of the Zuider Zee into fields and
gardens is divided into' two distinct
phases: First, the building of a
great 18-mile dike from the Island
of Wieringen to a point near the
town of Priam on the coast of the
province of Friesland; and, second,!
the construction of four dikes with- ]
in the sea and the draining and re
claiming of the land in back of
these barriers.
The average depth of water which
the great dike will encounter is
about 12.3 feet below mean average
sea level. The height of the dike j
itself above sea level will run from I
18.11 feet to 17.5 feet.
The body of the main dike will
consist of sand on a body of brush
and stone, with a surface covering \
of clay, and the outside lateral sur
face will be faced with basalt rip-1
rap. A double-track railroad will
be run along the dike on the inside.
This clay for the surface will be'
dredged from the bottom of Zuider
Zee .and also will be transported j
from the island of Wieringen as
waste material of a canal that will!
be under construction there. The
total volume of the dike is estimated
to be about 39,238,000 cubic yards, j
The estimated cost of the dike'
proper is about $11,256,000.
Although the completion of the I
entire project will require 33 years, j
53,600 acres comprising the first
section of the reclaimed land will
be available for cultivation within
fifteen years. Experts assure the
Hollanders that the soil will be fer
tile, as, after the great dikes cut
off the sea, the Zuider Zee gradu
ally will turn fr/sh, owing to the
continual emptying into it of fresh
water streams.
Several important fishing villages
such as Voollendam and Marken
will be no longer touched by water,
so the government has promised tha*.
special laws shall be passed pro
viding for adequate indemnification
of the fishermen and providing
funds for the removal and re-es
tablishment of their industry on the
North Sea.
The government expects to re
ceive about $13 per acre per year
as rental for the reclaimed land.
