New Order Is
Cause Of Much
Criticisms

MUNICH, Germany, March Ger
many is so devout worshipper of
officialdom in uniform that a recent
order of the authorities he's aroused a
storm of criticism. 1t limits to a far
reaching extent the wearing of uni
form during the war, particularly
among railway officials and employees
who are required to substitute for their
uniform simple wooden or cotton
blouses of dark material and simple
badge of office. Says the Neuest Mach
richten:
Far be it from us to criticise the
governments action in this matter, but
VIC cannot help expressing our fear
lest with the we'll known respect of
our people for the official uniform, and
for all that it stands for, disagreeable
incidents may result from the contact
of the public with men clad in blouses
or other garments which do not bring
home to them sufficiently the author
