New Uniform is Modification of
the British Style.


the British Style.
''If the Star would get its informa-
tion about uniforms outside a tailor
shop it might be nearer correct and
save lot of unnecessary street talk,
nected with the military yesterday
1--WE have no idea of adopting a Brit
ish uniform, particularly as to the color
of the coat Major Iaukea has all of
his clothes made in London, and a year
ago had his staff uniform made by the
same tailor. 1t so closely resembles
the other staff officers uniforms that
it has not been noticed by people out
side the military
"The change to Major Iaukea's style
of decorations for his coat was adopt
ed by the President, Major Potter, Ma
jOr Pratt and Major Iaukea soon after
the latter's new uniform arrived. The
style is a modification of the British
uniform, and was adopted simply be-
cause, when the staff officers call on
war-shipS the officers there cannot dis
tinguish them from American army
officers. The new style is much less
gaudy than the old in several respects.
1t was said on the street yesterday
by an officer in the n. g. H. that the
officers would hold a meeting on Mon
day night and protest against the adop-
ton of anything on the British line of
uniform
