At West Point, which has worio-
wide Reputation for its smart SOL
diers, the system is exactly the same.
The cadets have their uniforms issued
like rations and have their clothes
made over and rented. In this case
the tailoring is obviously OF q higher
grade than in the army. 1t is dimcult
to conceive what Winter or any other
English tailor could do to improve the
appearance of these same cadets. me

English military tailors. There are
tailors here in America who have Just

Winters selection was cabled to Lon
don a few days ago the London taiIors
were quick to reply. They said that
while American taiIors were constantly
searching for information in London
mo English tailor cared at all for SINH

asserted that just as Paris fixed fash

dominated the styles in mems clothes.
And there was considerable comment
upon the inferiority OF American
clothes. 1t was alleged that we padded
our clothes, that they fit too close and
were uncomfortable and did not take
the easy flowing lines of the body. as
English clothes do.
Now. the same general rules apply
both as to uniforms and ordinary
clothes. The question involved in the

as TO whether American tailors are
not more competent than English tall

eral DAYS, and certain outposts have
already surrendered. Just how far the
army is to be Anglicized seems to be
ia dispute. but the opposition is deter
mined. An oficial announcement was
sent out recently from Washington
that c. V Winter. an English military
tailor, had been engaged at a salary
OF $3.50 a week TO work eertaip re-
forms in the making OF uniforms OF
our soldiers. An immense force OF
American tailors has already been
mobilized 10 meet the attack.
The engagement Of an English tailor
by the Government for such a purpose
opens a very large question. Apart from
any purely sentimental reasons, 1t is
argued by American tsilors that our
clothes are superior to English clothes
as a general thing, in cut. ft and gem
eral workmanship. The exceedingly
liberal salary paid the English tailor
does not serve to lessen the indigna-
tion. Our tailors believe that such a
contract should be awarded on the
merits Of the work; at least they
should have the opportunity to bid in
open competition. And. quite apart
from any pecuniary advantage, they
resent the reflection upon the skill OF
American workmen. The tailors' side
