UNIFORMS OF SOLDIERS.
Etatistics Show That Austrian Gray Is the
Least Fatal Color.

"The criticisms Of the new summer
uniforms for the army, and especially
against the canvas uniform designed by
General Miles, +" explained an army Off
Ter to q reporter, care nearly all made
In ignorance of facts and requirements
in the case. Nearly everything in con-
nection with the army has been reduced
to cold statistics, and it is these that
govern such matters rather than theo-
ries. The ideal uniform should be suit
able for the season and the place and
circumstances under which 1t is worn.
The color should be that which mostly
resembles that of dried grass, SO that
soldiers wearing it would be as little in
evidence as possible
"The red and glazing uniforms of the
British soldier of years ago has been en-
tirely discarded by that government,
for the reason that it too clearly indl-
Gated the wearer to an enemy. 1t proved
to be the most fatal color that has yet
been devised On the other hand, sta
tistics prove the Austrian gray is the
least fatal Where II soldiers wearing
the British red fell by the bullets Of an
enemy only who wore rife green, 6%
who wore brown and who wore the
Austrian blush gray fell. General Rob.
ert E. Lee, who made an investigation
into this matter when he was in charge
of West Point before the war OF the
rebellion, made a report in favor OF
gray as the color for uniforms, and ev-
er since then the cadets at West Point
have worn uniforms Of that color. 1t
was also for this same reason that Cen
eral Lee adopted the gray colored uni
form for the Confederate army. The
crack regiments of the country wore
gray uniforms before the war in conse-
uuence Of General Lees report There
is no doubt that soldiers are hit in bat
tie according to the color of their uni
form. In the last war the Union cause
lost many a thousand men who would
not have been lost had the uniform been
less decided in color. The dark blue
uniforms worn by officers the first two
years of the war were especially fatal,
as they gave sharpshooters an easy way
to distinguish officers. 1t is needless to
say that the dark blue was very gener-
ally discarded by officers before the war
was over, especially for real engage
ment uniform. Any color will do for
parades, practice and the like, but
when it comes to fighting that which
makes the soldier less conspicuous is
the least fatal for war. The new canvas
uniform affords less opportunities to an
enemy than any other which has ever
been designed, and from distance an
approaching army can hardly be distin-
guished by the naked eye, because the
color is SO allied to that Of the dried
grass over which the army is march
ing. "-Washington Star.

The Booty of War.

itself in financial straits and lacks cap

volume of business. Business men i'll
all parts of the empire are making
urgent appeals to the government for
relief. But with the purchase of new
warships and other expenditures the
ig perial treasury finds the demands
upon it all and more than it is at pres
ent capable of meeting and is consider
ing new schemes of internal taxation to
make up the deficiency. Germany found
itself in financial crisis only few

Picture Trains and Their Uses.

The Western of France railway runs
an express train in the morning from
Paris to St. Malo and Parame, the car
riages of which have pictures upon
them. One has an elephant, another a
Tyre, another q snake and so forth.
There are anchors, huntsman's horns,
balloons, tricolored flags, punches OF
grapes, swallows, pair of scales, a
star, an angler with his fishing rod. 1t
is thought that one of these designs will
be more readily remembered than
number, and, according to all accounts,
passengers are very pleased with the
innovation. Before long the Western of
France directors hope to have picture
trains on all their lines. The man who
leaves the train for drink and can't
find his carriage again will appreciate
the change, but for overthirsty people
are not snakes just little too suggest
ve?-Westminster Gazette.
