Sidelights on the European War

Loudon-(C Correspondence OF The
/ Associated Press.) The kilt OF a sol
/ dier's uniform has proved itself en-
tirely superior TO the trouser in the
winters hard campaign in France. &C
/ cording 10 an officer who writes
/ home;
The only times I've ever thought
with even d tinge of regret on che
. trousers I've almost forgotten how II
I wear have been when "" Glanced TO
! be on guard on a cold breezy night,
when the wind maliciOusly whistles
round and about your legs; then you
Z feel involuntarily almost that two
thicknesses of cloth might be better
than none. But the thought vanish
es as soon as you are relieved AID see
the guard-room fire again.
Il am told that the Cauadfpr Scot
fish regiments treat their XIII as a
sort OF dress parade, and put on
trousers when they go into the trench
es. This is a great mistake. for it is
in those very trenches that the kilt
shines.
For instance. its no uncommon
thing for a rrousered section who have
stood shivering on their platforms
with their wet things clinging TO
their legs for "a hours TO see with a
feeling Of envy their killed comrades
relieve them with their kits tucked up
high out OF the wet so that with eX-
ception OF feet and puttees they can
look forward TO comfortable and,
all things considered, a warm time
instead of a shivery one. For the
kilt, being exceptionally thick around
the waist and loins keeps the whole
body nice and warm, and il II does
happen TO get vet the constant
swinging about tends 10 dry it quick
" without a constant clammy con
tact with the legs.
ON the night of the tenth, for in
stance. we were taken about seven
O'Clock through a stream which came
over my hips, but the kilt was quite
dry soon. and l felt no i'll effects
whatever from the wetting. although
it was a bitterly cold night.
But it is on the march that one
appreciates the kilt most There is
a delicious GOODNESS as the wind
strikes your knees that helps you
along, and there is a sense of free
dom about your waist and shoulders
that the troUsered man will never feel
when you are in bilIets on hard
wood or stone floor, all you have TO
do is TO take of your kilt and spread
il on the floor. then with your blanket
starting from the bottom OF il and
brought forward again over your feet,
you have a bed which keeps all the
cold and hardness away.
I'm actual fighting the moral effect
of the kilt is OF value, and it's asso-
Citations with hard and terrible fight
ing are so well known and appreciated
that the very sight of bare knees and
waving kits has an effect on the
enemy as well as on yourselves
