KHAKI UNIFORMS ONLY
FOR THE TROPICS NOW
Official Order Promulgated Affecting
Clothing of United States
Army.

Washington. June 19.- Khaki uni
forms for the army will be abandoned
except for troops serving i'll the trop-
les. and the olive drab service uniforms,
lined for the winter and unlined for the
summer. will be adopted for all of the
troops serving on the home stations.
General Humphrey, the quartermaster
general, has made a recommendation
to this effect to Secretary Taft and it
will be adopted.
The reason for this change is that
the manufacture of gray cotton goods
in this country is now controlled by
one company whose selling agents hold
and control the secret of khaki dyeing.
The contractors are far behind on two
of their contracts for khaki cloth and
the tailors who have contracts for man
ufacturing khaki uniforms cannot OBJ
tain the cloth. This has caused much
Inconvenience and it has been decided
TO make the change recommended by
General Humphrey

of the massacre of Jews at BialyStok,
which has just become known, is one
of horrifying details. Mutilation of
bodies and fiendish outrages showed
the ferocity of the racial warfare,
which assumed a somewhat different
aspect from previous massacreS, as the
Jews, instead of submitting to death,
as they have done previously, armed
themselves and fought bravely.
More Trouble Follows.
The statement of four Jewish mem
bers of parliament that the massacre
of their fellow countrymen in Bialystok
was only precursor of a general out
break of this nature is borne out to
some extent by the news of fresh race

House.
ACCEPTABLE TO PRESIDENT
Compromise With Government Payinu
Costs and Court Review Strick-
en- Out

Washington, June 19.-The meat in
al appropriation bill has been adopted
by the house without division.
Finally Agree.
Washington, June ia meat inspeC
ton bill satisfactory to President Roose
welt was framed yesterday by the house
committee on agriculture. The meas
ure is a compromise, the president
waving his contention that the pack
ers pay the cost of inspection, that

facture and that the secretary of agri-
culture be given absolute power to
pass upon the wholesomeness of prod
ucts. The committee yielded on the
question of court review and the ex-
clusion of inspectors from civil service
rules for one year.
Provisions of Measure.
The perfected measure provides:
1. Rigid inspection of live stock,
meats and meat food products.
2. That the secretary of agriculture
shall determine the sanitary condition
in which packing establishments must
be maintained.
3. That the establishments shall be
open at all times to inspectors.
4. That meats, etc, cannot be trans
ported in interstate and foreign COM
merce until label has been attached by
the inspector certifying 10 the whole
of the meat and the sanitary
of the establishment.
5. Cost of inspection to be paid by
the government.
