FOR EXTENSIVE USE
OF BLUE UNIFORM.
Idea is Strongly Favored by Adjt. Gen.
George M. Cole.

A more extensive use of the blue
uniform among military men is
strongly favored by Adjt. Gen. George
NJ. Cole, who commented Monday on
the fact that fine feathers make fine
birds is being accepted as an I'M
questionable truth by the leading mill

jor General Bell of the United States
army recently pointed out the United
States marines as examples of his be-
lief that an attractive uniform in
spires a soldier to live UP to a SOL
dier's ideas and General Cole agrees
with him.
General Cole admitted that the
smartness of the blue uniform, with
its shining brass buttons worn by
the marines at sea and ashore, have
a marked effect on the efficiency of
those troops.
"Of course" said General Cole,
'the olive drab uniform ha sits good
points and, when it comes to field
service, it is just the thing. But it
is a working uniform and when a
soldier is not in the field, I am sure
he feels that he wants a smart uni
form a uniform distinctive from
his working clothes. You know,
when a working man goes to church.
he wants to be in his best clothes:
that's the case in point. When a
soldier is off the field he wants to be
in a snappy. smart uniform and the
blue uniform is the one for him
heartily favor a more extensive use
of the blue uniform, but. of course,
believe the olive drab to be the
thing for field service.
