SOME GOOD IN VIVID COLOR
Frenehmen Found Their Red Caps
Useful in Signaling to Their
Alert Comrades.

The French have, with the oncom-
ing of winter, put into use the recent
ly adopted great coat for infantry. IT
Is not, as heretofore, a dark blue, but
blue-gray. The French have left
10 their British allies the khaki color
and they could not adopt the gray
green hue which had already been
chosen by the Germans. SO they ae-
cepted a blue, which is neutral and
from distance scarcely visible. II
blends with the fog Of the morning
and the smoke OF battle.
AS for red, 1t is now definitely pro.
scribed. The vermilion military cap
is covered with blue. So the foot SOL
diers hereafter clothed In shaded
foggy wear will attract less attention
from the enemy. But" says lie Crie
de Paris, "if red offers in time OF war
greater danger 10 the wearer, II may
on occasion present some advantages.
The other day wounded soldier re-
counted how he and several OF his
comrades wandered into a position In
advance OF the French lines. As they
were taken for Germans every time
one stuck his nose above the trench
they drew the fire OF our soldiers. All
at once an idea came TO them. They
put on the ends OF their bayonets
their red caps from which they had
removed the cover. The firing ceased
and they were enabled 10 return to
their countrymen. This time II was
the red that saved them"
