Paris. Dec. 2s.-The success of
the new blush gray infantry uni
form supplied to men who become
eligible to service this year sounds
the death knell of the red pantaloon.
The red pantaloons were long in

Napoleon the First was opposed to
red for the infantry. The adoption of
this color must be credited to Vic
