FRENCH CHANGEsssTYLE
AND COLOR UNIFORMS

PARIS, Dec. 26.-The success of
the new blush gray infantry uniform
supplied to men who become eligible
to service this year sounds the death
knell of the red pantaloon.
The red pantaloons were long in
passing. The heroic associations OF
their IS years reign made a change
seem a sort of sacrilege, and in spite
of the lessons of the Transvall, the ar

RUSSIA TO ESTABLISH
NAVAL BASE IN FINLAND

LONDON, Dec. 26.-Berlin reports
say that Russia is planning to estab-
lish naval base on the Aland Islands
The Gulf of Finland is now frozen over
in parts but the Aland ports remain
free from ice.
While the states bordering the Bal
tic have objected violently to the con-
struction of Notifications on the is
lands, it is understood that a number
of Russian war craft, including some
of her largest vessels, have arrived
there, and that provisions and ammu-
milton have been stored there in great
quantity.
The Aland Archipelago consists Oh
eighty inhabited islands and islets at
the mouth of the Gulf Of Bothnia. They
we're taken over from Sweden by Rus
STA in 1909. They are populated by
about $4,000 persons, mostly Swedes.

red for the infantry. The adoption of
this color must be credited to Vicomte
de Vaux, minister of war in 1929, and
it was his sole contribution to military
history.
During the second empire propos-
ed change to blue was defeated by the
minister of agriculture, who objected
that the change would ruin a thriving
industry ir the department of Vau-
cluse, which furnished the "madder"
with which the cloth was dyed.
After the Transvaal campaign the
question came up again and the min
lister of war appointed commission to
examine it. Nothing developed and the
apanese-Russian war broke out and
the question being agitated again, the
minister of war appointed another
commission.
After the Balkan war, during which
the Bulgarian officers found it expedi-
ent to tear off the red trimming of
their cloaks, third commission was
appointed.
In 1903 the Boer colors were most
favored. In 1905 a sort of violet blue
had more partisans. In 1910 grayish-
green was preferred and specimen uni
forms of this color, designed by De-
taille, were worn by selected compan-
les at the manoeuvres.
In the meantime commercial war
had bested the industry of the de-
partment of Vaucluse and the color
ing matter for the French infantry
pantaloons was made in Germany. No
commercial obstacle remained, but Off
cial routine had tangled the question
in so much red tape that the outbreak
of the war found the army still in the
conspicuous red trousers.
Millerand abolished all commissions
and dressed the class of 1914 in the
shade he preferred.

ship concerns itself with everything,
including many things that are none
of its business, and also allege that it
is arbitrary and capricious. A certain
news story might receive the ratifica-
ton of the censorship in Paris, while
Bordeacx would condemn the same
story and vice versa. Under these
conditions the Partisan newspaper edi-
tor has been at a loss to know what he
can do or what he can expect.
Papers have to go to press an hour
and half earlier than usual, in order
to send three copies of each sheet to
the censor's office. Then they have to
wait until each sheet is examined and
permission telephoned to use it, or not
to use certain indicated portions. Only
after each sheet has thus passed, can
the paper go to press. If the rules
of the censorship are disregarded,
all copies are confiscated and publica-
ton Suspended, very severe punish
ment. Protest against these condi-
tons is constantly being made, and it
is known in Paris that Great Britain
has found it expedient to intervene in
this matter.
The French newspapers admit that
the movement of troops obviously
should not be published for patriotic
reasons, but they find it most difficult
to understand why the glorious deeds
of their armies and the men composing
them should not be recorded for the
perusal of not only the French public,
but for the people of acknowledgement
countries as we'll

we're made, and these were accepted
without a murmur. The entire sys-
tom of correspondence from the prov
inces was disrupted by the call to
arms, and consequently incoming news
service was most unsatisfactory.
But soon these unfavorable condi-
tons were overcome, and in their place
arose the task of competing with a
stringent censorship. Today the CEN
sorship in France is fully as rigid as
that in England. In the beginning
military alone, the censorship has
now become administrative as we'll.
A double censorship exists, one in
Paris and the other in Bordeaux. The
newspapers complain that the censor

PARIS NEWSPAPERS
HAVE HARD TIME

PARIS, Dec. 26.-As the war in EU-
lope progresses, the difficulties that
beset newspaper publishers in France,
especially in Paris, have greatly in
creased. With the outbreak of the war
many newspaper men went to the front
and their places had to be filled. Then
provisions had to be made for paper,
in even the city should be besieged.
The verious journals reduced their cir
culation to the fewest number possible
and in their desire to economic, cut
down their pages from six to eight
sheets. and in some cases as low as
two pages. Advertising dwindled to
almost nothing, and the proceeds from

BABY IN ARMS,
YOUNG MOTHER
IS CHECKED AND
$1,000 STOLEN
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 26-As Mrs.
William J. Fitzgerald, 3419 Magnolia
street, sat on her bed undressing her
baby late yesterday afternoon, she
felt two hands clasp about the back of
her neck. Mr.. Fitzgerald had gone out,
but as the baby laughed, Mrs. Fitzger-
aid thought her husband had crept in
noiselessly to surprise her. So she
laughed and asked:
isn't it the cuttest little baby?"
The hands frightened around her
neck. The baby commenced to whim-
per. One of the hands reached around
the woman's throat and closed tightly.
The other grabbed the baby from her
arms and dashed it to the bed. The
baby howled and screamed, as Mrs.
Fitzgerald was dragged out of the room
into the kitchen.
Offers Life to
Save Her Child.
A hoarse voice cursed her. The wo-
man, struggling to free herself, looked
up into face, masked.
81 got you" said the man, you can't
get Willie; I'll get you"
Inside the bay was bowling and
screaming.
Don't hurt the baby" pleaded the
woman; 81 don't care if you kill me.
but have mercy on the child"
The man pulled out knife and cut
the woman across her left breast. He
tore her clothes from her and kicked
her about the body. He dragged her
into back shed and cast her, uncon-
scious, into corner.
She was found by her husband on
his return home half-hour later.
To the police the husband declared
that after he had found his wife, he
went into the house and discovered
that an armoir had been ransacked and
$101 had been stolen.

Suspected Uncle

The police are hunting for James

who has no particular home and who
is suspected by Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzger-

The alleged assault and robbery is
one of the strangest of many similar
cases brought to the notice Of the po-
lice recently.
Mrs. Fitzgerald's unconscious form
lay in the yard during a heavy mist
and fog about an hour. When found her
clothing was wet from the mist. Mr.

kind was she that all the boys loved
her.
1t was easy to like the Choir Sister,
too, because she played ball with the
boys before rehearsals. And those
nights when the Choir Master let
them invite their frienls in for games
she was the girl most of them wanted
for a partner.
So anyone can see why the boys
were blue when Ricky jackson, her
brother, came into the choir
Christmas eve and said:
mil" (short for Mildred. her real
name) isn't going to have any Christ
mas"
The boys stopped right there, some
with their choir clothes only half on.
II they didn't find out right away what
was the matter with the Choir Sister,
the Christmas eve service would have
to go without their singing.
So Ricky toll how she had come
down that morning with a funny tired
feeling, n shifting and hot cheeks,
and had to stay in bed, and how she
cried when she thought of the tree
b was going to miss.
You can see why that Christmas
eve service vas not as happy as 1t
should have been for these boys. Az
terward, when the tree was lighted
with the starlike candles and the Sun
day school room was filled with boys
and girls opening their presents. each
choir boy was thinking OF the Choir
she could be with them.
Next day people in church thought
the boys sang the Christmas hymns
better thar ever. But the people did
not know that just before the boys
marched in the Choir Master had told
them a plan by which the Choir Sis
ter would have q Christmas she would
never forget.
At evening the janitor's doorbell
rang. The Choir Mother opened it,
and in came the Choir Master and a

ing faces. Back Of the others four
