KHAKI CHANGES SUGGESTED.

More Experiments.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-There is
talk among the army Quartermaaters
who have to do with the uniform Of
changing the color so as to do away
with the khaki shade OF brown in
favor OF one which Is described as
an olive green, and which Is consid-
cred as contributing TO the quality
of invisibility to greater extent
than the original khaki. Reports
received from abroad show that
much the, same step Is being taken
in the foreign armies. and probably
for the same reason.
In this connection It is interesting
to know that the experts are not
settled in their mind regarding tho
meaning OF tho word khaki"
Some of them thinks It relates
to the quality and others To the
color OF the material. In our service
the word is commonly accepted as
descriptive of the cotton fabric OF
the shade of brown adopted for tho
uniform. 1t Is considered that the
proposed change would be advanta-
geous In furnishing color less flu.
gative than the old khaki brown.
