Despite the sentiment which o,,.

National Guard Of Maine will coon
cease to be entitled to that sobr;oro+
as orders have been issued nv tho oa
Ju'aht general calling in the issue of
olue uniforms now in the possession
OF Names citizen soldiers.
When asked about the d;scor+;,,
any VI me blue uniform General Pres
pun stated mat the change was made
~ y. ao'ice OF the Division of Militia
Analrs OF the U. S. War Department
Mlchlgan and Ohio have already done
away with the blue uniform. The SER
vice uniform is now used almost en-
tirely Tor every occasion where state
troops are on duty and the expense Of
maintaining the extra uniform of blue
is out of all proportion to it's use.
lhefe has been and still is much sim
cefe sentiment for the uniform of b1ua
and the traditions which cluster about
1t are many but the service uniform of
olive drab is now used almost wholly
Here in Maine where there is much
sentimental regard for the honored old
uniform of blue, we have been reluc-
tant to discard it for the modern and
serviceable olive drab.
For a number of years the Maine
Guard has been kept supplied with the
blue uniform. but it has been worn only
about twice during each year. On Me-
mortal day the Guard has done escort
duty in blue and again at the State in
spections has that uniform been used
These two occasions are about the only
times during the whole - months that
the blue uniforms have been worn, the
olive drab service uniform being dom
ned for all other occasions.
The maintenance Of the blue uni
form for these two annual events has
cost the State about $500 a year and
the war department suggests that this
amount could be better expended in
other ways. While the blue uniforms
are drawn from federal funds no drop
ping allowance on them is made by the
war department and the entire expense
Of maintenance has to be borne by the
State.
From very reliable information it is
believed that the federal forces will
soon entirely abolish the use Of the blue
uniform and this step is now being TAX
en- by the National Guard in many Of
the states, Maine among the others.

impression that he would find recorded

would find those Of the year before.
