Problem of Military Dress

The difficulty OF deciding the question
OF militaTy-naval uniform is shown in the
results OF an inquiry which the War
Department has been making among Off
GERS in command Of regiments, in order
10 ascertain the service opinion on one
or two vexatious problems Of official
apparel. The questions were not Of great
importance. but they were enough to
show that # would be impossible TO pre-
scribe any detail of service garb and
have it received with anything like
unanimity Of approval One Of the oues-
tions related 10 the form Of wearing the
campaign hat. the soft "slouch" OF the
plains. it being desired TO know whether
the preference was for hat with the
Montana crease or with the "Alpine
peak" The reports were almost equally
divided as 10 choice. and it has become
necessary to send the problem TO a special
board in session at Rock Island. Ill.
engaged in determining the burden Of
the foot soldier.
The question Of uniform for the military
personnel has been periodically discussed
and is now again under consideration in
some minor particulars. principally relat-
ing 20 insignia to designate rank The
results. whatever they may be. are likely
70 be met with the same equal division
Of approval and disapprobation which
has marked the service view lately on
the form Of the campaign hat The duty

Declares EHOt's Religion Is Not
New.
Reproduced by request


RSprOduced by request
Clyde W. BrOOmell,. a Sweden.
bOrgian expOsitor of religion, resi-
dent in Boston, has issued a state
ment relative to the recent adj
dress by President Eliot on. THE
New Religion, y which begins by
charging that definitions of the
new faith are vague and indefi-
mite. 20
1.-THE thoughts are not new and
very often the words are old. .
The declaration that ,.'the new re.
ligiOn will make Chirstts revela.
ton seem more wonderful than
ever to u.s." is welcomed. He
adds: Christ revelation Here
is the stone which too. many
'0uiiderS have, rejected p reject.
ed not as q great and good man.
as prophet or as a wonder work
.er but as the Son of God. Not
the Son as second person in a
mystical trinity, but the Son as
the humanity Of God himself. For
Christ's teachings and life are
not merely examples which we
may try to initiate; nor was his
death MR. ~ Il physical price
paid for a physical redemption
but Christ is God--he is life in
the example; he Is tne power in
the word of truth; he reveals God
not as creator, that is in the
plane of nature, but God as God
nature, mperyerttd, acts in what
we call the human body, soul and
spirit 81.
The critic also disputes Mr..
EliOt's dictum that authority in
religion is to pass. There will
be authority als1- Christ will BE-
Author Of all things being the
way" the principle of action will
be his principles; being the
truth his statement will be a
living light for thought; being
the 'Iife,' all power will be sought
in, received, and acknowledge
ed as his. He will be Master, all
else notwithstanding with one
stroke the rule Of human force
and blind prejudice and ignorant
superstition"
The fundamental objection to
the new religion, however, in
Mr.. Broomells opinion, is that it
is not a religion, but philosophy,
and the "lOgic of refined, cultur-
ed affable naturalism, purely
and ignorant of the distinct de-

grees in creation, ignorant of the
speculative and purely static, y
spiritual degree in mana degree
conceived in the idea of Christ
as God, made of the substance of
Christ s love, formed by the order
Of Christ'S truth, born into the
consciousness of a new world by
ChriSt'S Informative impulse,
grown and developed in Christ S
manner and rejection of sin as sin
and adoption of Righteousness. as
spiritual faculties of organized
final law and authority, raised in
will and understanding and bod
lily form for eternal life of love,
wisdom and use in the degree of
creation, distinct from the sensual
called heaven and hell, and in
which, by reason of our. human
soul, we are predestined to live
whether we will or no. Heaven
is the result of obedience to all
law, and not a reward. He'll is
the result Of disObedience to law,
and not a punishment"
Mr.. BrOOmell suggests that
DR.. Eliot and associates who SYM
pathize with him go, for a correct
view of Jesus Christ, to Sweden
burg, ''the great Swedish scien-
fist, philosopher, statesman and
theOlOgian whose works have beer
kept from the world principally
by the So-called Christian teachers
because SwedenbOrg exposed the
false doctrines of the Christian
thinkers, SwedenbOrg planted his
church. But, unlike the new
feet in the spiritual sun, Jesus
Christ, the God of heaven and
earth, and from Him viewed the
earthly man. and dazzled by
thinkers stand conferred in the
earthly man, and dadzzled by
His full light turn from Jesus
Christ as the central life.
"Swedenburg declares Christ to
be the one Cod; yet he says
some things strikingly like DR..
EliOt'S statements on religion. For
instance, in the True Christian
Religion, it is said; Those who
know nothing about the Lord
if they live according to the pre-
ceptS of their religion are saved.
" Without acknowledgment Of
God, charity and faith there can
be no religion
