Report Of Uniform board.
The War department has made public the
report Of the uniform board. headed by
General Young. OF which Colonel Patten Il
the recorder, setting out in detail the
changes made in the army uniform, some
OF which were seen for the frst time at
the White House reception yesterday.
The hrst recommendation is that oficers
on duty in Washington should be required
10 wear their uniforms during Office hours.
other recommendations, all OF which have
been approved and are consequently now
army regulations, provide for the substitu-
tion Of the bronze sleeve ornaments for
those OF embroidery and metal for full
dress. Chaplains are to wear black over
coats. The embroidered gold oak leaves on
oficers' visors must come of, except on
ranks above that Of major. The United
States coat Of arms in gold is to be added
to all shoulder knots Of officers above cap
tains.
An important change is the abolition Of
the chapeau, the service helmet and serv-
ice cap for officers and service trousers
for enlisted men. Provisions are made for
a combination sash and belt for brigadier
generals.
A significant recommendation calls for a
more detailed description OF the shoes to
be worn by officers, for 1t is rumored that
the boards labors were begun as a result OF
the detection OF an oficer, otherwise prop
erly uniformed in full dress. wearing
pair Of russet shoes. Hereafter chevrons
are to be worn midway on the sleeve be-
tween the elbow and the shoulders.
other recommendations are that belts
and cartridge cases are to be worn outside
the overcoat, that a marching shoe shall be
provided for the men and that the bureau
OF insular Affairs shall provide device.

COMMITTEE TO GO HUNTING
FOR CHURCH'S NEW PASTOR
West Presbyterian Congregation De-
cides ON Novel Manner in Selecting
Successor to Doctor Ferguson.

West Presbyterian Church will choose q
pastor to succeed the Reverend Doctor
Francis l.. Ferguson in a novel way. In
stead OF having candidates come to the
church and preach, committees will be sent
to hear pastors in their own churches
The plan has been tried in other churches
and has been successful.
The objection the church has to inviting a
minister who is an avowed candidate and
knows he is on trial IS that the sermon
preached is superior TO the minister's usual
effort.
The ministers selected by the session will
not know when representatives of the West
Church are to be in their congregations and
therefore will not be prepared to preach an
elaborate discourse.
The workings o: the church. the SIZE AMI
interest Of the congregations. the Sunday
school, missionary societies, young people =
societies and all the organizations that so
to make up a prosperous church VIII be
observed. 80
Until pastor is secured the pulpit will
be supplied by LEGAL and visiting ministers.
Doctor Samuel c. Palmer OF the Lafayette
Park Presbyterian Church will preach next
SUNDAY morning. l. W. Hathaway of New
York. secretary OF the Sabbath Union, will
speak at the night service.
