Best Service Column in City.

There is to be a change in the model
of the field uniform worn by the United
States army more than fifteen years, ac-
cording to an officer who received unof-
ficial notification of the plan few days
ago. A War Department order is ex-
pected in a day or two to announce the
alteration formally. II is stated that the
new model will follow the style of the
British field uniform in nearly every par
ticular.
The change in uniform is one of the
first tangible results of the visit of. the
British military men who came to this
country with the Balfour commission and
who are now in the bureaus of the War
Department with their American allies in
a sort of advisory capacity. The baggy
coat of the British officers and their
comfortable rundown collar furnished
the model from which the army tailor
sketched an American variation which
win be accepted for the use of our troops.
The new uniform will be of the same
material as is issued now-khaki for
summer and olive drab wool for winter
wear. The tight neckband which was
adopted while blue was still the field as
well as dress color for American troops,
and which remained even when khaki
was issued, is now discarded, both for
officers and enlisted men. A. tie prob
ably will be required to be worn as part
of the uniform.
Two huge pockets are at the waist of
the new coat. They are more accen-
tuated in the officer's than in the pri-
Yates coat. The pockets will hold as
much as a small-sized suitcase. and it is
said they furnish, together with the easy
collar, the two arguments that decided
the shift. The tunic belt, a distinctive
feature of the British uniform. will be re-
tanned In the American model. il the pres

ture musical comedy called THE Four
Husbands" which runs over an hour and
possesses all the features of a melodious
and attractive burlesque show, tempered
down to entertain a refined audience.
The music by William B. Friedlander
is unusually pretty as well as original,
and the large number of girls who dis
play numerous handsome costumes are
likewise pretty and sing fairly well, al
though 1t is evident they were chosen
to please the eye rather than the ear.
George Burton is the droll and anus

BeIaseo.-aDoIlar- and Sense,

Dollars and sense, played for the
rst time last night at the Belasco Thea
[ter' by and with and possibly for Alan
Brooks, moved a very large audience to
frequent laughter and generous applause
which the popular star-author-producer
acknoWledged after the second act in a
graceful and witty speech.
The new production, which the author
<calls a humorous tragedy" has a lot
kof good things in 1t, including quantities
/ OF social satire. intervals. of romance
and spurts of melodrama, but on the
whole Is not so much play as a train
Of thought The one who does the think
ing is the pale, epigrammatical youth
played by Mr.. Brooks, and the object o.
his thoughts is woman. No matter what
anybody says to him. he comes right
back with a penetrating thrust, gen
- saimed at the foibles Of the tenderer
Tor at marriage, or at some other
ke convention despised by the radi-
and the woman-hater. His wit comes
positive streams and much of it is
deniably clever. Whatever limita-
Mons Mr.. Brooks may suffer under in con-
structing a play, he has at least found
1 he exact secret of turning the elusive
7aradox.

Eyes, But He Cannot See.

Did you notice that Won Hindenburg is sympa-
thetically worrying about US?
Won says that he cannot bring himself to believe
that will send huge army to Europe and leave
ourselves helpless in case of attack by Japan Poor
old fellow! he doesn't understand at all.
There used to be time when we got out of bed,
in nightgown, with every hair erect, and urged
wife TO hunt the house for Jap ghosts but that time
is past There are no such ghosts On the contrary,
if Japan wants to get into the big fight crosses the
Pacific, and wants passage territory, she'll
fine splendid roads open to her army, from San
Francisco to New York. In fact that's one of the
things we'd very much like to Japan at.
Won Hndenburg, like most all German autocrats
yet believe that all civilization outside his circle
is united, heart and SOUL to put down Won Hinden-
burgsm so that it will stay down. When the Great
Fear holds the jungle, Kipng would put it. it is
the law that all the creatures should unite and be
peace with each other. Over all the nations that know
the right and that would have freedom and pursue
happiness is the Great Fear-Prussan barbarism The
panther drinks at the pool beside the kid Uncle Sam

mon peril maketh it thus. But Won Hindenburg can
see only the law of might.

The Jacob Jones.

The loss of the destroyer Jacob Jones will serve to
steel American will and to bring us closer to the mean
ing of the war on the sea.
Scores of American sailors perished; and their
loss will not 60 unavenged 1t is only one more coffin
nail for Prussansm All of these lives sacrificed TOR
their country leave with blood passion which
cannot be appeased until We as Americans and as
defenders of civilization have achieved the objective
of victory. The tragedy hardens American resolution
II ehokes with dust the mouths Of those who would
have US treat or pater with the enemy.
The life of sailor is hard one; the unremlttng
task of hunting submarines is neither spectacular nor
picturesque and the winter days OF the North
Atlantic in the rolling destoyers test the hearts and
spirits of men, Too often We tempted to overlook
these men, forever guard against the deadly un-
seen peril Under blanket of censorship for the most
part rarely appearing in the press except in the most
general way. The front-lne trenches are so much
more stimulating the imagination of the land-luo
ber than the guardianship of the sea! Yet it IS the
gallant sailor man whose bulldog grip on the German
nation is the one trump card in the hands OF the allies
Americans love their navy, and disaster to our
seamen makes our fighting blood flare up as nothing
else does We will demand payment for the loss OF
the Jacob Jones in overflowing measure.

story which appears in the Philadelphia Telegraph.

that She change the style of her visiting card include
