FOUNDER OF
CAMOUFLAGE
AN ODD MAN
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21. —
How the “Father of Camouflage” was
considered a “nut” and treated with
contempt by the British war office
during the first two years of the war
when he was trying to give them in
formation which they now consider in
valuable, is one of the interesting
stories of bureaucratic inefficiency,
which is just coming to the surface.
Abbott H. Thayer, C8, American
artist, is now respected by the British!
army as the greatest living camou
fleur.
But in HU4 when he went to Lon
don to oiler freely all his wonderful,
knowledge of military concealment, he!
was shunted from bureau to bureau,
from petty chief to petty chief, as a|
“harmless old, crank, don’t y’know,;
with a lot of crazy notions he says he j
got from birds and animals. Fancy
that! Quite impossible, really!”
Noted American Artist
For more than thirty years Thayei
had been studying how birds and ani
mals concealed themselves from the
closest observation by blending with
the landscape, and in 1896 had pub-1
lished an authorative treatise on the
subject. More than that, le was a
distinguished artist, twice president j
of the Society oi American Arii.ts,;
and knew all about color blending.
As soon as war was declared, Thay
er, realizing the importance of camou
flage in warfare, sailed for England,
to tell the British about it. To demon
strate his ideas he carried with him
some freakish suits with colored patch
es sewed all over them in imitation of
the different birds. He was ready to
show just how the trick of “fading
into the landscape-’ could be done. But j
it was these freak suits that queered
j him with the war office. If he had
put on a frock coat and a silk hat
j and carried a gold-headed cane, he
might have been welcomed.
Now Valuable Man
In the meantime. French artists
! were gradually developing the art of
camouflage, but they were making;
slow progress because they didn’t j
know the secrets of the birds and ani
mals which Thayer had discovered
years before.
Nevertheless, they were showing i
what could he done in concealing guns '
and men and finally the British began ;
to catch on.
Then, in 1016, they remembered the
old man with the bird suits, and when
they finally listened to what he had j
tried to tell them for years, they gave |
him a free hand.
Now Thayer is looked upon as one
of the most valuable men in England,
and everything is being done to make
up for lost time. *
