AGAINST THE NEW UNIFORM.
Regular Army Omcers Have Several
Grounds of Complaint.

Regular Army Omcers Have Several
Grounds of Complaint.
There are further complaints. some OF
them we'll grounded, from army officers re-
garding the new uniform regulations. says
the Army and Navy Journal. In many
cases the heavy outlay required by the re-
cent change has been a positive hardship,
which would be still further increased by
the additional notifications which have
been proposed. II is true that these pro-
posed notifications are not extensive, but
they would involve an aggregate outlay Of
large proportions from officers who have al
ready been compelled to spend large sums
under the new regulations. Whether the
suggested changes are desirable is not the
question at all. The point we urge is that
any change which involves expense to OFF,
GERS who have so recently been required to
expend large sums for uniforms is unjust.
1t would be only fair TO stipulate when
radical change, like the recent one, is made
in uniform, that clothing allowance should
be granted to cover the cost Of any modi-
flcations ordered within a period Of say
two or three years This is far better Than
any attempt to underbid the tailors by
providing a portion of the uniform through
the Quartermaster's department.
To insist upon changes at the expense of
officers in a uniform only few months after
its adoption is inconsiderate and unfair.
Many corporations employing large num-
bers Of men give each man his first or Sec
ond uniform either free or pay part OF the
cost of 1t, and the emulation of their ex-
ample by Uncle Sam would be an emlnently
creditable proceeding. Major General Cor
bin and others who contend that young
officers should not marry unless possessed
OF resources in addition TO their army pay
or until they have advanced to the rank Of
captain or major may find the uniform
problem an aid to the general adoption Of
their views. The young lieutenant who is
required to plank down some hundreds of
dollars for a uniform outfit without knowing
how soon he may be compelled to hand over
additional cash for changes in his toggery
may pause to consider whether, under those
circumstances and with his slender pay,
he has really any right to contract an
alliance that would still further increase
his annual outlay for clothing
Another point in the regulations to which
objection is made, and we think Justly, Is
that they have taken away the distinctive
letters ~. s." from the collar of the uni
form coat. In place of them appears the
national coat-of-arms, which is all right in
its way, but it is not nearly as distinctive
of the regular service as the letters ~.
s. Several officers have written to urge
that the letters be restored, and we heartily
concur in their views.

HE ALLEGES DISCRIMINATION
Kearney, Mo-, Man Goes Before Interstate
Commerce Commission.
FILES CHARGE AGAINST THE BURLINGTON
Ahirms Points West of Kansas City
Are Favored by Lower Tnrin on
Live stock billed Through
20 Chicago.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad Is made the
defendant in complaint filed with the
Interstate Commerce commission by Gilbert
Barr of Kearney, Mo, who alleges the
eXaction of an unreasonable and unjust
tariff on live stock. The complainant is a
live stock shipper and says that since Oc-
tober last the railroad has compelled him
to pay for the transportation of live stock
in carload lots from Kearney to Chicago
23ia cents per 100 pounds, although a rea-
sonable charge is l. cents per 100 pounds.
The complainant charges that during the
time mentioned the defendant has had in
force on its lines a rate of 23a cents per
100 pounds, applying upon live stock orig
mating at Kansas City and shipped in car
load lots to Chicago, and another rate OF
- cents per 100 pounds, called a proper
tlonal rate, applying between Kansas City
and Chicago on live stock originating at
points west Of Kansas City and shipped in
carload lots to Kansas City in the first
instance. and upon which the through rate
from originating point to Chicago would
not be less than 2S1S cents per 100 pounds.
The complainant alleges that, although
the 12-cent rate is published as a pro-
portional rate, the defendant still allows
shippers of live stock to use it without
reference to the origin of their shipments
and regardless of whether rates have been
paid thereon from points of origin to Kan
sas City, emitting such shippers to the
proportional rate from Kansas City to Chi
cago.
According to the complaint. the defend
ant, by compelling the complainant to pay
the higher rate, while exacting from other
shippers for like service the low rate, is
subjecting the complainant and the locality
from which he makes shipments to undue
and unreasonable prejudice and disadvan>
tage and is violating the interstate COM
merce law. An investigation and repara-
tion for the charges said to have been un-
lawfully collected are asked.

ROYALTY RISES EARLY.
King Edward Breakfasts at Seven and
the Kaiser Even Earlier.

King Edward Breakfasts at Seven and
the Kaiser Even Earlier.
While the great mass OF his subjects are
still comfortably asleep in bed King Edward
has risen and is seated at his desk, deep in
the consideration of state documents; for,
though his majesty does not lie down with
the lamb he gets up with the milkman.
It is always after midnight before the
king is in bed, but by Z O'Clock he is astir.
Very often he rises a couple of hours earlier
in order to keep abreast with the enormous
quantity Of work which presses on him. At
Windsor he usually attends the early serv.
ice at st. Georges, and has accomplished
the days work of an ordinary man before
most of his subjects have finished break
fast.
This spectacle OF the king, up and doing
at a. m. while so many OF his subjects
stroll leisurely into their Offices FIVE hours
later, is notable and suggestive. Americans
assign as one reason for their marvellous
progress that New Workers. are at business
at $3.50 or a. m, while LondonersJ are a
full hour later.
There are no harder workers than mod
ern monarchs, and they, at all events. ap-
preciate the value of the morning hours.
1 ne GeIIudu emperor DTedhlaSlh punCIudliy
every morning at o'clock. Very often he
has been uD for hours.
Not very long ago the colonel of the First
Dragons turned up twenty-five minutes
late at the a. m. parade. To his horror
he found the kaiser waiting with the regi-
ment. Without a word the emperor mo-
toned the of1cer to his post and watched
the drill in silence. but on that evening the
colonel received from his imperial master
a neat little alarm clock.
Soon after a. m the emperor Is az the
foreign office, in consultation with Count
Won Buelow His ally, the king OF Italy,
is likewise an early riser, and requires his
officers and servants to be the same.
Soon after his accession he mLde a round
OF morning visits to the government offices,
At each he arrived at the stated time OF
| opening, and smoked cigarettes while
waiting events. When the early bird of the
! clerks arrived-an hour late-he found, not
the worm, but the king. awaiting him.
Very plainly were the heads OF departments
! informed that the king required strict
punctuality and attendance to business.
| One result OF this action of Victor Emman-
ueIs is that the italian civil service esti-
mates have been considerably reduced by
dismissing clerks whom regular hours rem
dered superfuous.
The car OF Russia is another of the Z
| O'Clock breakfast brigade. while the EN-
peror Francis Joseph Is astir even earlier.
| It must be a very early riser who would
! get the better Of the mikado. The ruler of
! Britain's new ally holds his councils OF
