Petrograd, Sept. 15.-Delayed in

Washington, d. c., Sept 16.-Some
light may be shed on why the sol
diers khaki uniforms are not uniform
in color, when the House takes up at
the end of this week the bill to pro-
vide money to pay the army con-
tractors for furnishing them
Almost everyone has noticed that
where five or six soldiers are gath
cred together scarcely any two of
them have khaki uniforms of the
same color. Thousands and thousands
of people have asked the question as
to the reason for the different hues
and Congress is sure to want some
information on the subject when it
gets ready to pay the bill.
The hearings before the Commit
tee on Appropriations in regard to
the appropriations for field equip
ment developed much that was inter
esting with respect to the clothing
worn by the men of the army, but
absolutely nothing was offered by
the army chiefs who testified as to
the striking contrasts in shades OF
jackets and breaches that are seen
every day wherever soldiers gather.
Why are not tie uni orms uaiforla
War is an awful thing, everybody
realizes, b,s. why should this affront
be added to the burdens to be borne
bv the soldiers? Isn't it bit un-
necessary?
You see the receding form of
stalwart trooper down the street. How
can you be proud of him, and how
can he be proud, when his cost and
breeches are of a different hue and
his leggings do not match?
Why does the coat fade and the
pants retain their original color, or
vice versa? Is it because somebody
has fallen down on government con-
tract? Or is it because the govern
ment has been hutnbugged? Maybe
it is that old bugaboo, German dyes

CASE WHEREIN CAPT. w. J..
CONDON FACES JURY FOR
LIFE IN COLLEGE TOWN.

New Brunswick, n. j., Sept. 10
This college town is on edge in an
ticipation of the trial of Captain Will
ham j. Condor, U. S. army surgeon,
who is accused of shooting John V.
Piper, a postgraduate student at
Rutgers College, last February. The
trial is scheduled to begin here We'd
nesday and Is expected to be sensa-
tional in the extreme
DR.. Condor made his home in New
Brunswick and was leader in local
society. Piper, his alleged victim,
was we'll known in college circles and
was also we'll acquainted among many
of the townspeople by reason of the
fact that he was working his way
through college and had been en-
ployed at odd jobs by many of the
citizens. Among those who knew him
the student bore an excellent reputa-
tion.
1t was on February 10 last that
Piper mysteriously dsap peared. Late
that night he had gone to the Condor
home, where he tended the furnace.
Shots were heard near there. and
shortly afterward DR.. Condor, who
had gone out, was seen by neirhbors
to enter his house.
While the disappearance of young
Piper was commented upon it at
tracted no great amount of public at
tentlon until negro workman re-
ported that he had seen the body of
a dead man in a corner of the Con-
don cellar. Wien the report reached
the authorities they Immediately
made an investigation of the cellar,
but found nothing there to substan-
tiate the story told by the negro.
Not until many weeks afterward
was the body of Piper found by the
roadside near Woodbridge Then the
story of the negro was recalled. to-
gether with the tales told by DR.. Con-
don's neighbors, and the arrest of the
army surgeon was ordered. In the
meantime he had started for the
Mexican border in response to official
orders. He was intercepted on his
way south and returned to New Bruins
wick to race the indictments returned
against him by the grand jury.
While the prosecuting attorney
claims to have ample evidence in his
possession to prove that young Piper
met death at the hands of DIR. Con-
don, it Is rumored that evidence is
lacking to prove an ADEQUATE motive
for the alleged crime. For this rea-
son, it is reported, the charge of muir
der made against the surgeon NAV be
reduced to a charge of manslaughter
when the case comes up for trial. The
theory is held in some quarters that
the crime was committed in a sudden
fit of rage.

"There are now in the fifteen South.

Kohler, sales manager of a manufac-

returned from a trip through West
ern Florida and states that while in
Pensacola he called at the office of
the Pensacola, ST. Andrews and Gulf

Tarpon operating between that place

the officers of the company had said
that unless the merchants Of Mobile
give more patronage to the Tarpon
she would be taken off, as the vessel
is not making expenses under existing
circumstances. The Tarpon rinakes
one trip a week and is regular as
clock work-he said.
Under the existing conditions, said
Mr.. Kohler, the operation of the Tar
pom gives Mobile merchants a low
rate of transportation to the Florida
ports, because of >ailroad competi-
ton. In the event that the Tarpon
is taken off, he said, there was every
reason to believe that the rail rates
would go up. He expressed the hope
that Mobile merchants would take up

prevent the removal of the steamer

JEWISH SACRED DAYS

Since the beginning of the war
these holidays have become even
more sacred and soIsmn than ever be-

usual holiday sermons, brought home
to their congregations the cruelties Of
unfortunate circumstances in which
the Jews found themselves-Jew

rule in Palestine, and poverty in the

Entrance of the United States into

even more complex. Nearly every
