the desired cloth to all domestic manufac-
turers with the view to ascertaining

any cotton manufacturer without dis
elimination. 1t is represented that with
the use of these dyes any cotton manu-
facturer with proper machinery and suf-
ficient skilled labor can produce the cloth
of texture and color adopted for army
use. The manufacturers are asked

ARMY WILL DISCARD KHAKI
OLIVE DRAB COTTON CLOTH TO
BE USED FOR UNIFORMS.
Competition for It's Manufacture
Sought by War Department.
Large Contract Involved.

Khaki cloth has been discarded as a
uniform for Uncle Sans soldiers. and an
olive drab cotton cloth has been adopted
in its stead.
Competition for the contract of supply
ing about 100000 yards of olive drab cot
ton cloth for uniforms every years is ear
nestly sought by the War Department.
Several years experience convinced the
army quartermasters that American
made khaki was not suitable for military
purposes. IT was designed as a uniform
for service in the tropics. After long
|, trial it was officially reported as not
equal to the English-made khaki worn in
India and the east. and objectionable be-
cause of its weight and warmth and its
| failure to hold its color
Not desiring to purchase the English
made khaki the Guartermasters entered
upon a series OF tests for su:ta BILE cloth
obtainab BILE from American factories Fl
of indanthrene, blue. yellow and violet a
| result was obtained that met the severe
requirements of the service, both as &c
color and fabric.
Only One Bid Submitted.
Domestic manufacturers were publicly
invited to submit proposals for one
ficials, only one bid was received 1t was
that of the Massachusetts cotton mills
of Lowell. Its bid was % cents a yard.
That Is the rate the government has
paid for the khaki cloth
Quartermaster General Aleshire salts
fed himself that the bidder could supply
the goods desired by the department, and
recommended that the contract be given
to 1t for the first years supply Another
New York firm, which makes specially
of the manufacture of khaki cloth and
has had large dealings with the govern
ment in that material, protested against
the change in policy.
1t is understood that the firm represent
ed that the single bidder was the only
manufacturer who could supply the par
ticular cloth called for in the specifica
tions and virtually formed monopoly
The controversy was recently submitted
to the decision of Secretary Dickinson
After thorough consideration of the ques-
ton he evolved a plan to offset possible
charges of favoritism or discrimination ir
the transaction by submitting the essen.

 WILL BE DISTRIBUTED.
Alabama and Florida Forts VIII Be We'll Taken Care of, Pensa- cola Getting a Half
 Million Do1Inrp

Washington, March 27.--While 1t has not yet been decided by the War De- partment. owing to the short time. . which has passed since Congress ap- propriated the money. how all of the military appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910. will be spent, It Is believed that the South will re- ceive a goodly share of the money.
 Of the more than $4,000,0 900 asked for to be used for barracks and quarters, $3,500.000 was granted. The cut in the amount asked for will mean, of course. that some of the construction work which the Department had planned to do during the next fiscal year. must be deferred.
 For roads. walks. wharves and drain- age. the sum of $1.3s7,000 was aske ed for, of which s1.l00,000 was granted.
 It was desired to spend at Fort Pick ems. Florida. s7,413: at Fort Morgan, Alabama. about $14.o00; at Key West Banks, Florida. $7s5; and at Fort Bar rancas. Florida, $10,000. all of the above being for road construction and repair. At Fort Taylor. Florida, s4s.- 900 was asked for to construct a wharf, which. 1t was stated, will be an ex- penslve structure. owing to It's great length and the character of the bot tom on which 1t is placed. This is in- dependent of the project for sea wall and fll."
 For grading and improving tho iand at the following points appropriations, included in that for walks, roads, and so forth, were asked for: Fort Morgan, Alabama. about $500: Fort Barrancas, Florida, $10.000; Fort Plckens Florida, $20.5o0; and Fort De Soto. Florida. $lo,- $50.
 For improving the water supply or system at the following points appro- priations were asked for as follows: Key West Barracks. Florida, $5.0o0. and Fort St. Philip. Louisiana, $14500.
 In the matter of specific approprla- tions for fortlications and other works of defense under the Engineer Depart ment of the army. almost a million dollars Is allotted for Pensacola har- bor and Galveston. to be spent during 1910. For Pensacola there Is appro- priated s507.o00 to complete the sea walls for the protection of the sites of the fortifcations and other necessary post buildings at Forts Pickens ana Mckee while $440,000 Is appropriated for construction of a sea wall and All for the protection of the military res ervation at Fort Travis.

 It Is shown that In case the Council does not wish to refund the money. the gift of the receipts to the Anti-Tuber- culosis Leagtte will not hurt the givers at all. as they will not be out anything.

 Under these conditions. those that feel like giving their tax receipts to charity. will not lose very much and the White Plague people will not do much work with the certificates. but as a league man remarked. it would not hurt the work if they stood the chance of getting the money refunded.
