Camouflage plays almost as important a part in protecting the soldiers of the allied nations while back of the fighting zone as it does while they are creeping up on the Hun or stemming one of his drives. The upper picture, an Italian official photo, shows Italian troopers artfully camouflaging a roadway along the Piave river. Small trees and shrubbery are being used to disguise the course of the roadway and to hide marching men passing over it. The lower picture shows members of an American 'medical corps giving a wounded man first aid while concealed from the enemy by a camouflage "string." It resembles a net and is so constructed and colored that It renders the men invisible at a distance. It prevents the enemy sharpshooter picking off the men.

Japanese Infantry In training (above)

and Japanese cavalry on parade. The question of decisive action by

the allies regarding Russia has not yet

been settled. The French government strongly favors the sending of a strong allied force into Russia by way of Vladivostok. Should this

course be followed, it is realized that

the bulk of such an army would be Japanese troops.

Little is known as to the size of Japan's present standing army. That Japan could soon raise a force of one million men, however, no one doubts. Such an army would go a long way toward reconstituting the eastern front. Universal service now exists in Japan. The roving bands of Czecho-Slovaks which the earlier reports from German sources had classed as troops of armed outlaws, have developed such

a strength as to make them a power worthy of consideration by the allies.

They have taken overt he administration of Valadivostok and other Russian Pacific ports, and hold 1,300 miles of the trans-Siberian railway. They have thus formed a rallying point for the interests opposing Germa ndomination In Russia. Should the American government and the Czecho-Slovak leaders ask Japan to intervene in Russia, it is more than likely that the request would be heeded.

RAILROAD CLAIMS HANDLED BY U. S. The following letter has been received from A. H.

He assures the claimant a Just compensation for his grievance. This applies to attorneys prosecuting suits against the railroads. Following Is the letter: "I beg to call your attention to the following letter from John Barton Payne, general counsel, division of law United States railroad administration, outlining a general policy with respect to the handling of persons injury claims against railroad companies while under federal control: "The federal control act contemplates that suits for personal Injuries may be brought as heretofore, but provides that executions may not be levied on the property of the carrier while In the possession of the government. f "This meanB that while a judgment may be recovered, It devolves upon the director general to provide for payment andthis places upon him the re

sponsibility of considering the merits of the claims and the persons to whom payment is made. "It is Jhe deeire of the director general that justice shall be done to all employes who are injured in the discharge of their duties. "This does not mean that virdicts based upon prejudice or passion shall

be paid, or that large sums shall be paid to attorneys and solicitors who have no claim upon the government "The right is reserved to consider the merits in determining what provisions shall be made. "It will be the policy of the government to discourage litigation and to deal directly with Injured persons, to the end that tho injured person may receive the benefit of any account which the government pays, without the expense of litigation, and without being compelled to turn over one-third or one-half to an attorney. You may,

therefore, let it be known that such

claims will be considered on their

merits. "As to' fee contracts: You are authorized to exercise a wise discretion, and you are not required to make payments as provided therein, but only on such terms as will enable the person injured to receive just treatment If the contract is unjust, you may pay the attorneys euch reasonable eum as will pay him for the services actually rendered.
