Types of Clothes
Worn by Troops
[By United Pressl

PARIS, Sept. 1O-ln order to avoid
confusion on the part of the French
soldiers in mistaking the uniforms OF
their allies and their enemies, the
war office has distributed a large
number of copies of pictures show
ing the various types. 1t is pointed
out, for instance, that:
The English are the only troops
in khaki.
The Belgian infantry are distill-
guished by their great coats and dark
gray trousers.
The only difference between the
Uhlans and the Belgian lancers Is
that the former are in gray from hea !
to foot, but the jacket and helmet oi
the Belgians are black.
The Austrian Hussars and ORA.
goons are in blue with red trousers
but their coats have no braiding ir
