TOMMY ATKINS UNIFORM.

New System to BE Adopted in Cloth
ing the British Soldiers.
1t will astonish most people to be
told that the British government in
addition to being a maker of laws
is the greatest tailor in the world
The army clothing factory at Pimlico
Is the biggest tailor's shop in Eng
land, according to Tit-Bits Last year
Tommy Atkins tailor's bill amounted
to 9355,375. During the Boer war the
clothing of the army cost nearly Co.
100000.
Trousers are the most costly item
In the soldiers wardrobe, and for
their neither garments last year the
nation had to pay no less a sum than
973,278. This recalls the fact that
1t Is less than ninety years since the
British army first put on its trousers
that the British infantry soldier,
that is, first substituted trousers for
the old-fashioned knee breeches.
The British soldier will be clothed
on an entirely different system to
what has prevailed for so many years.
and the innovation will probably be
great deal more satisfactory to the
rank and file. Every man will receive
his free outfit on enlistment as here
tofore. but he will be required to pro-
vide his personal clothing and neces-
saries out of an allowance credited
to him quarterly in advance. Instead
of his present kit allowance of two
pence a day after six months service
he will receive at the end of the first
year a lump sum equivalent to the ac-
cumulated twopences, in addition to
the separate clothing allowance.
The maintenance of kit and cloth
ing will be a matter between the sol.
der and his commanding officer. 1t
is intended that the present arbitrary
periods of wear allotted to each gar
ment shall be abolished. Under the
old system pair of trousers might be
serviceable to-day and time expired"
tomorrow.
Even In the piping times of peace
Tommy Atkins tailor bill would make
millionaire poor in year. Roughly
speaking. 1t costs 81 900 900 every year
to clothe the British army. The head
gear Of the troops. embracing every
thing from simple cap to q bear
skin helmet, exhausts nearly E50,0O0,
and boots. shoes and leggings. which
are purchased ready made, cost nearly
E25O,OOO. The cost Of soldiers uni.
form varies from just over E1O 10
shillings to less than E3, according
to the regiment in which he may b
serving. For instance. the annual
tailor's bill for the rank and fls In
the life guards Is just over Ell. while
