LETTERS FROM WELDON.
Writes Chamber of Commerce About
His Work.

Walter c. Weldon has made a report
to the Chamber of Commerce through
its secretary, James Gordon Spencer in
which he speaks of finding a very deep
interest, among all classes, in Hawaii
an matters. His report is dated Aug
ust % at San Francisco, and announces
his departure for Los Angeles and San
Diego, acting on the suggestion of Ter
ritOrial Secretary Cooper, on Septem-
Der 10.
AT a lecture delivered on the 18th
instant" says Mr.. Weldon, ito which
many of the Chamber of Commerce and
visiting Knights of Pythias had receiv-
ed invitation the hall of the Y. NJ. c..
A. was packed and hundreds unable to
obtain standing room. The lecture was
repeated by request on the Tuesday
following with similar results" New
material and facts were presented at
the second lecture and third was ask
ed for. Arrangements for Oakland and
Alameda have been made.
In conference with Lorrin ThurstOn
H. e. Cooper and others, Mr.. Weldon
determined not to start eastward un-
til the Pacific coast had been more
thoroughly exploited, there being I'M
usual interest excited.
Mr.. Weldon has kept in touch with
the transportation companies the sec
rotary of the San Francisco Chamber
of Commerce and many of the mem
bers of the latter institution, and re-
ports that through such connections,
one firm has become financially inter-
ested in what Mr.. Weldon terms "Ha-
walls new industry, sisal growing"
He also forwarded to Secretary Coop
ed a communication from Secretary
Filoher of the California Board of
Trade relative to the methods of pre-
serving fruits and vegetables. This is
in response to a request from Secretary
Cooper.
Enclosed with the report are commu-
nicatiOns asking for extra tickets and
a request for an interview by a Florida
planter of pine-apples and sisal who
was interested in the lecture and wish
ed for further particulars. Newspaper
clippings eulogistic of the lectures are
also submitted to the Chamber.

THE BOYS IN BLUE FIR
TITLE REMAINS IF UNIFORM Is
CHANGED.
Evolution of Army Colors From War
of Independence Down To Present
Day-The Historic Blue.

In the war for independence uniforms
were various. For well-known reasons
the men were ofen glad to wear any
thing they could get The most approx
ed dress, however, was the blue coat
and buff breaches of the continental
line. In 1896 the infantry wore dark
blue coats. In 1910 the rank and file in
all branches of service were put into
blue coates, or Jackets. In 1921 the
army color, and later regulations pres
Cribed light blue trousers for the rank
and file.
In the period between the Mexican
and the civil wars there was a ten
dency in Independent companies toward
gray This was in imitation, perhaps
of the gray uniform still worn by West
Point cadets. There is a widespread
belief that General Scott favored a
gray uniform, and for a few months
in 1914 his army on the Niagara from
tier wore gray. At the opening of the
civil war many of the existing militia
organizations, both north and south,
had gray uniforms The confederates
stuck to gray uniforms, or, rather, but
ternut, which was actually the first
khaki" uniform generally worn. The
federal troops, of course, because that
was the regular army color, and the
historic color, and because at that time
wore blue.
The eXigencies of active service dur
ing the civil war and the practical ge-
MUS of the American soldier already
noted, tended to tone down the bright
ness of the blue. This tendency be-
came still more marked in the sue
ceeding Indian campaigns. When the
Spanish war began the field dress Of
the regular army, no matter what the
regulations said, was in fact, wooden
shirt, trousers, brown SLOUGH hat shoes
cartridge belt and gun. And the SOL
der who kept his cartridge belt filled
and his rifle in first-class condition was
not pestered on active service with
questions about the color of his clothes.
The American soldiers laudable habit
of thinking for himself, wherein he eX-
cells all other soldiers, as well as the
wisdom of military experts, has led to
the formal adoption of the earth color
ed service uniform for dress occasions
and parade purposes. The practical
change, in fact, preceded the change in
law. And so the historic blue uniform
disappears from the battlefield as
visible fact and yet remains in the
larger field of public thought and ina
gination.
In blue uniform the American soldier
has fought since there was a United
States In blue he fought and won the
greatest war in history. Blue he will
still wear with pride, though not for
his working clothes. For that reason,
no matter what the regulations say, to
all the world in song and story so land
as the republic endures American SOL
diers will still be the Boys in Blue
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

PEELED 10 jump from a second-story
