"Alive and, what is more, in the pink of health." "I am delighted to hear it. But then what's the meaning of the footprints around the well and the presence of that revolver and those three shots?" "Simply camouflage." "Oh, really? Camouflage contrived by whom?" "By Mathias de Gorne himself." "That's curious! And with what object?"
"No, sir." The marshal turned his attention to his chief of artillery. "Jed, when we need your guns, we're going to need them badly, but I doubt if that time will develop until the second or third day of the fracas. Going to want as clever a job of camouflage done as possible." The other scowled. "Camouflage, sir?" "Confound it, yes. French term, I believe.
He says plainly that all of the statements that Berlin never intended to annex Belgium were pure camouflage. He urges the Berlin office to flatly declare its purpose never to give up a foot of the Belgian coast nor an acre of the conquered territory of north France and Belgium. "It is of no consequence," he says, "that we have given a solemn pledge not to annex Belgium.
We had to find the range of airplanes that passed over us, just as though they were enemy planes. This drilling was as near like actual warfare as it was possible to make it and because of this, we grasped the meaning of our work and the details very quickly.

I had a little sleep before dinner, and was officer of the watch from 9 p.m. to 12 midnight. While on duty, I supervised a working party, consisting of Sergeant Dawson and eleven B Company men, in Bilge Trench. They were putting up camouflage. Sergeant Dawson tells me that Sergeant Butterworth is wounded. They have been having a hot time of it. "July 6th.
Albert sniffed suspiciously, but no odor of alcohol rewarded the sniff. Neither was there any perfume of peppermint, Mr. Keeler's transparent camouflage at a vacation's beginning.

But why did he behave so queerly?
After a time the little house began to represent the ideas in protection and camouflage, then in its early stages, of many different minds. René shot a man there one night, a skulking figure working its way in the shadows up the street. It was just before dawn, and René, who was sleepless those days, like the others, called to him.
