RED UNIFORMS HARD TO HIT.
IL Has Dcen Proven a FaIIacy That
Scarlet IL Particularly
Obtrusive.

Scarlet, it has always been supposed,
was the worst color possible for the
purposes of the battlefield, says the
Army and Navy Gazette. 1t has been
said so with such frequency, indeed,
that nobody of late years has cared
TO dispute the fact. We owe it to some
very practical experiments carried
out in Germany that the question has
now been put on a more satisfactory
basis. a squad of ten men, two dressed
in light gray, two in dark gray, two
in scarlet, two in blue and two in
green, were 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 all well-worn theories
upset. Experiments carried out Oh
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 fired a giveI
number Of rounds it was discovered
that scarlet was far the most difficult
color to hit. For every miss at the
other colors there were three i'm favor
of scarlet. We viii not assert that
these experiments were conclusive evil
! dence in favor of our national color
, but they certainly go a long way to
/ justify its retention. There is much
to be said in these days of quick-fring
/ guns in favor of n uniform which is
difficult to hit, and in this particular
scarlet undoubtedly will hold its owl
against all other colors.

WIZ Go to the General Assembly For
RetriaI.

NEW YORK, Nov. ITO the general
assembly, the court of last resort, the
session of the Fifth Avenue Presbyte-
rian church has appealed the case OF
Hermann Warszawiak, who was expeli-
ed from membership, but a retrial Of
whose case by the session was ordered
by the synod. The session holds that
this action OF the synod was in viola
ton Of the constitution Of the church
and asks either that the decision of the
synod shall be entirely reversed or that
the synod shall be directed to remand
the case to the presbytery instead Of to
the session for retrial.
Warszawiak appealed, first, from the
decision of the session to the presby-
terry, which sustained the judgment. He
then appealed to the synod. The gen.
eraI assembly will meet in Minneapolis
on the third Thursday of May, 1899.
