"The undersigned begs to inform the public that a very superior

"CAMOUFLAGED ATTACK.

"Paris, Thursday.

"All the newspapers print long accounts of the new offensive,
under the heading, 'Great British Victory,' and all agree in
assigning the chief honours attack, and the new British method
of organ-attack, and the new British method of arganising the
offensive in secret."--_Provincial Paper_.

And very well camouflaged, too.
