NEW NAVAL UNIFORMS-The bureau of navi-
cation will not lack for suggestions from naval
of1cers respecting the changes contemplated In tho
uniform Of the commissioned personnel The sub
ject Is to be taken up in that bureau without the
aid Of a special board detailed for the purpose
II is considered that the bureau can nossess tseIf
OF all the suggestions worth acquiring and axe
up the question OF changes, and so escape the
compromises which sometimes necessary I'm
obtaining numerous reports from boards No ono
expects that there will he many changes tho
principal outlined being that already an
nounced as under Consderation-the substitution of
the double breasted coat for the service blouse
This would adopt in the navy a familiar garment
such as is worn by officers OF most nayies and
affected by yachtsmen 1t is essentially a ''nauti-
cal rig and is much favored by naval officers
The other changes destined TO be confined 70
insignia and embellishments which are regarded
as afording a greater distinction between branches
and grades There is a sentiment decidedly IN
favor OF diminishing instead OF increasing the
uniform. and it is believed that this sentiment
will prevail. There is hardly an officer who does
not entertain theories respecting the uniform and
the Navy Department Will have suggestions from
such sources basis for its revision Of the uni
form regulations
