revival of the uniform of centuries ago. 1t was in the later days of chlvalry that the archers, who could not fear armor, were clad in the nro- tecting green, to hide their presence rom the enemy. Then came the Ma poleonlc wars when chasseurs, uhlahs. royal guards, etc., vied in the design Ing of elaborate and conspicuous nn,- forms. There was the scarlet of the Brlton, the blue of the Prussian, and the red and blue of France.
 Thls same mania for gorgeous uni forms for the field played havoc with Union forces in the early days of the Civil War. Every special regiment of lancers, cavalry and hussars had a particularly uniform of it's own. The Zouaves, with their blue coats and baggy red trousers, made finer marks for the rifles of the Southern troops than any bulls eye target.
 England learned during her late un- pleasantness with the Boers that the scarlet coat means sure death when the enemy knows how to shoot.s It reached the point in that war where the officers discarded their swords. thus leaving the enemy in doubt whether their shots were taking effect in the anatomy of an ordinary private or talented young duke, carrying the commission of colonel,
 Britons have not yet adopted the uniform of green, but it is being con- sidered by the army experts. The Germans still hold to their brighter uniforms for army manouvers, but are prepared to jump into the modest khaki when real war breaks out. Italy slaughtered the Arab in Tripoli be- cause the aforesaid Arab insisted on going into battle generally resembling an animated bed sheet.
 The change of the America marines into the green-grey of the army leaves only the blue jackets with the old blue uniform.

 tine Enemy.
0BSCURES WEAKER

Washington, Oct. 19.-Uncle Sam's police force, the marine corps, at last has heen permitted to join with the army in the use of the forestry cloth for the winter uniforms: In- stead of the tan uniform which here tofore has Eeen in vogue, the marines Will be attired in a greenish gray cloth with the stripes of the officers trousers and the chevrons of the "non- coms' in the scarlet of the service.
 The experts of the Navy Department have been considering this change for some time, but it took active service in Nicaragua to convince them that the change was necessary. What the army learned at San Juan Hill and Santiago and in the Philippines the marine corps learned in putting down the recent disturbance in the Latin American republic.
 The chief benefit of the cloth is that it obscures the wearer in the field. Instead of being a glaring mark for the rifles of the enemy he is an inconspicuous smudge on a field of green. The cloth is of peculiar greenish tint that harmonizes with almost every sort of background that nature can arrange.
 Nearly all American factions are firm believers in the theory of a quick rush to end contest. The slow bombardment at long range is not to the taste of the American fighting man. Notwithstanding the reams of

some favored McGoorty because OF his
aggressiveness. He led often, but his
blows were blocked for the most part. He
