The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-11-16

An officer of the Russian General
staff, Capt. Pusgrevski, who served
with the Army of the Danube during
the whole of the late campaign, has
published in the last number of Vo-
genni Sboreick some remarks, based
upon the experience gained by himself
and his comrades during the war, on
the dress and equipment of soldiers in
the field, which are well worthy of no.
tice. The best head-dress for troops
of all arms of the service is, the writer
is convinced, the field cap-a cap with
a broad, flat, overhanging top-with a
peak. The cap is light, protects the
head and eyes from the sun, while by
placing inside it a folded cloth, or even
a piece of paper, it can be made into q
very warm covering for the head in
winter. During the late campaign
the Russian Guard, it is well
known, left their helmets behind,
and wore the field cap only. The uni
form of the soldier, the Russian writer
continues, should not be shaped to the
body, but should be cut without any
contraction at the waist; so that a man
may be able to wear beneath it warm
clothing and flannel belts; and the
white linen uniform now worn by the
Russian soldier should be replaced by
gray, so as to render the troops less
distinctly visible to the enemy. For
the knapsack now in use in the Rus
sian army the writer recommends the
substitution of simple waterproof
bag with strap, in order that the SOL
der may be able to change the position
and manner of carrying his load fire.
quently during march. The KNAPP
Aank or bag should also not ALWAYS CON
tain the same articles, 1t being very de-
sirable that the kit should be altered to
