Raymond A. Tolbert, HOBART MAN WRITES OF OCEAN VOYAGE: Young Attorney Enroute to Front as YMCA Secretary Tells His Experiences, in The Times-Democrat (Altus OK), January 17, 1918—
Yesterday we received quite a thrill when a ship passed us in the distance. I looked at it through a kindly Frenchman’s binoculars but it looked more like a zebra than anything else, it was so camouflaged. The art of the camouflager is quite unique. As we left the harbor. we passed a large number of ships spotted and daubed up in much the same way that a small boy paints a barn.
