KHAKI AS A LIFE pREsERvER.
A Fact That Has Been Demonstrated
In the south African ana
China Wars.

In the Century, under the title of
"With the Pel<ing Relief Column" are
printed correspondents notes of the
fighting in China, by Frederick
Palmer. The writer is eloquent on
the advantages of khaki as a uni
form. He says:
"The accuracy of the Chinese rifle
fire is amazing. | noticed that the
bullets were knocking up the dust in
front of our men after they sprang
over the mud wall (where the writer
was) and charged across the thousand
wards between the mud wall and their
present position. That is always
proof of good shooting. ! suppose
that the Welsh fusileers must bridge
the break in the line where ! can see
no blue points. They are in full
Khaki. Our marines and the Ninth
the Ninth, so far as | can learn, is in
cul-de-sac on the other side of the
road from the marines-are wearing
their blue shirts. Theoretically, all
our regiments in the Philippines are
in full khaki. Virtually, none is ex-
cept those on police duty in the
towns. For campaigning, both men
and officers prefer the blue woolen
shirt, which absorbs perspiration in
the daytime and keeps off the chill
and vapors at night) The British blue
jackets are completely in blue, with
white straw hats. The French ma
rine infantry is in blue, with white
helmets. The Russians in their white
blouses, with the average fed as a
background, are as distinct as the
weeks washing on the line. AS for
the Japanese. the white crowns of
their caps make so many bull's-eyes
as the little fellows bend to the
double in "A charge; and the Japs are
so cleanly that, unlike the Russians,
they never allow their white to be
soiled and become natural khaki"
The advance this morning, when
every man except the fusileer was a
moving target, if viewed by the home
stats, would be sufficient to hasten
the adoption of khaki by all the arm
les of the world. After South Africa,
one would expect at least an attempt
to discolor white helmets; but every
army gets its reforms out of it's own
experience"

Terrible Accident.

however, went off when pointed at the
little girls head and with a scream she

gence by telephone, The funeral
