VIII Be Furnished by
Government at Cost
RY THEODORE rILLER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Senatcr
Hoke Smith has succeeded in having the
senate insert IN the man power bill an
amendment providing that hereafter the
government shall furnish uniforms to
officers at cost. The amendment was
approved both by the military affairs
committee and the senate, and will re-
lieve many officers IF unnecessary ex-
pense.
Heretofore the government has sup
piled uniforms only to enlisted men.
Lieutenants, captains and majors; some
of them with little money, have beer
obliged to purchase their uniforms some
times at excessive prices from tailcr-
ing shops. To further complicate the
situation the government has comman-
deered practically all cloth suitable for
making army uniforms and this fact
added to the tailor's bill Under the
Smith amendment the officer will get his
uniforms from the government, which
will charge cost only Tor 1T.

Experienced Fliers to
Return as Instructors

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-Experienced
flying officers are being returned from
overseas service, a war department an
nouncement says, to act as special in
structors in the advanced sections of
American flying schools. At the same
time, elemental instruction at the fields
has been put under new system, by
which cadets are assigned to a single
instructor, and kept under his tutelage
until they complete their first course.
This is said to be safer and more eff
fective method than the former practice
of giving the students a fixed amount of
flying with instructors, after which he
is required to make solo flight.
