From Brown to Blue Uniform.
The War Department expects to save
$192 600 in the next three years. and a
lproportionate sum yearly thereafter, by
changing the cloth of the fatigue uniform
or working clothes of the enlisted men Of
the United States Army from brown can
vas to blue denim. Hereafter the quar-
termasters department will issue to the
troops of the mobile army in all arms Of
the service blue denim fatigue clothing.
The reason for this change Is that 1t has
been found that the blue denim is In every
way as satisfactory as the brown canvas
and the cost is about one-fourth less. The
supply of brown canvas uniforms now In
stock will be issued until exhausted. The
brown canvas material is of special manu-
facture, which makes its cost higher than
| the blue denim, which Is a staple product.

of the navy by order of President Roose-
welt will have been restored. This marks
| the final chapter of a long contest over
I he service of the marines, and the out

of the Marine Corps. The action of Pres
ident Roosevelt was taken as direct
| blow at the life of the corps. 1t was nee
essary to have the marines restored to
their former assignments before July in
order that the appropriation for the main
tenance of the navy during the coming
