RED UNIFORMS HARD TO HIT.
Il Has Deen Proven IA Fnilacy TnRf
Scarlet IL Particularly
Obtrusive.

Scarlet, il has always been supposed,
was the worst color possible for the
purposes of the battlefield, says the
Army and Navy Gazette. II has been
said so with such frequency, indeed
that nobody of late years has cared
20 dispute the fact. we owe it TO some
very practical experiments carried
out in Germany that the question has
now been put on more satisfactory
basis. A squad OF ten men, two dressed
in light gray, two in dark gray, two
i'm scarlet, two in blue and two In
green, we're lately ordered to march
across an open country. Their move
ments were closely watched. The FIRST
men TO disappear from sight were
those in light gray, immediately after
ward the scarlet. then the dark gray
and finally the blue and the green.
Here we have ali well-worn theories
upset. Experiments carried out on
the rife range showed that our ma
tional color gave the worst mark for
the rifle. Twenty men, all good shots,
were used for the purpose OF the ex-
pertinent. After they had fred given
number of rounds IL was discovered
that scarlet was far the most difficult
color TO hit. For every miss at the
other colors there we're three in favor
of scarlet. We win not assert that
these cxperimentsw were conclusive evil
dence in favor of our national color.
but they certainly go n long way TO
Justify its retention. There is much
TO be said in these days Of quick-fring
guns in favor of q uniform which Is
difficult to hit, and in this particular
scarlet undoubtedly will hold its own
against all other colors.

Years ago, when Jules Cambon, the

THE PICQUART TRIAL.
1t Seems to Be a Case of
Persecution.
A PROTEST BEING CIRCULATED.
NJ. de Freycinet Has Consented to
nm Interpolation In the Cham
Der ON Monday - sensa-
tIonnI Scene Expected.

PARIS, Nov. 26.-The Picquart case
seems in the way of raising even a
greater storm than the Dreyfus AFFAIR.
The papers favorable to the general
STAFF are dumb In the face of the bare
faced decision Of the military governor
of Paris, General Zurlinden, TO try
Colonel Picquart by court martial,
while those faYoring revision are furi-
GUS at this new attempt to defeat JUS
tice and protest against the court mar
tial being ordered.
Nobody believes that Colonel Pic
quart is guilty Of any crime except a
courageous desire to render justice to
Dreyfus, but on all sides it is recog-
nized that in a practically secret trial
he may be condemned on some techni-
cality, thus attaining the apparent OBJ
ject, which is TO throw doubt upon his
dispositions before the court of cassa-
ton in the Dreyfus trial.
Every one is asking the motive of
General Zurlinden in so persistently
pursuing Colonel Picquart and why
court martial, If necessary, could not
be postponed until the decision of the
court of cessation has been given. Ev-
cry one is asking whether it is a des-
perate attempt to shield the former
minister of war, General MERCER. and
the general staff even at the risk of
precipitating disaster and the nations
hatred and in any event of driving ev-
cry doubling person into the Dreyfusite
party.
protest against the court martial
of Picquart, bearing the signatures Of
leading authors, politicians and jour
ualists, is being widely circulated for
further names and will be presented &c
the government.
Last evening II was reported that NJ
de Freycinet, minister for war, had
consented to be interpellated on the
subject in the chamber of deputies next
Monday, when a sensational scene may
be expected.
Another feature Of the case is the tor
rent Of hostile criticism now poured up
on NJ. de Freycinet, who is accused OF
quailing before General Zurlinden and
the general staff.
Maitre Labor, Colonel Picquart's
counsel, says he is convinced il will b,
impossible to condemn Picquart on tbs
charge of forgery but that the &C
cused officer may possibly be condemn
ed on the charge of communicating Sc
cret documents. although their com
munication was in no way inimical t
the interests Of the state.
Colonel Picquart continued his evl
dence before the court of cessation
throughout the whole day. and nj
deposition is expected to occupy sew
eral days more There is still SOM
hope that he may receive justice owinl
to the presence on the court martial o
Colonel Bennal. who is a great frienl
of Picquart, but NJ. Clemenceau, II
Aurore. declares that the court mar
tial is packed and accuses NJ. de Frey
cinet of allowing an innocent man to b
victimized in order to increase his ow
chances at the next presidential cleo
ton.
