This is subject which has not yet re-
celved from military writer's the attention
| which naturally It deserves; but there is n
| disposition manifested in some official quar-
| tors 80 to alter the style Of uniforms pre-
| scribed by the manuals as to give the sol
diers better security than heretofore. The
War Department at Washington, it is re-
ported, has been considering the advisa-
bility OF such change in uniform for the
land forces hereafter. the object being to
render soldiers less conspicuous targets for
an enemy. The change is proposed not
only In consequence of the introduction
OF smokcless powder. but also because the
recent improvements In small arms greatly
enhance the danger to which soldiers
are subjected. The most imperative need
for change In uniforms is said to exist in
Germany. where the polished helmets. the
scarlet and blue OF an ordinary private. the
white collars Of the cuirassiers and the
IaluUO" uutS VI buo NusSdE uISoS, Ihuho tho
wearers so distinct to tho eye at long dis
tanccs that the destructive work OF hostile
infantry would DO greatly facilitated were
not neutral and less conspicuous colors
substituted.
The uniform OF tho United States infantry
is certainly more durable than picturesque.
1t was we'll suited to the requirements ofac-
tive service under tho conditions which
formerly existed, but since the introduction
OF smokeless powder 1t may lo found less
desirable than heretofore. One by one, but
steadily. the aliurcments anu paReantries of
warfare appear TO he passing away In civil
lied lands, making room for the grim
reality.of a shorter. moro decisive and more
deadly mcthCd Of settlement. The thought
OF such thing may overturn many fond
notions and ideas, but it would seem rs II
brilliant uniforms will soon become thing
Of tho past. except for purposes OF dress
parade; and that tho soldier OF the future
will be an extremely busincsslike and
prosaic parsonage. attaching little impor-
lance to outward SHOW.
