ORIGIN OF KHAKI

With khaki to the right Of them,
khaki to the left of them. khaki in
front Of them and khaki eli around
them, very few American soldiers
know much about the origin Of the
uniform they wear or the meaning OF
the word used to describe Re color.
Khaki Is an East Indian word
meaning dust color" The fast,
yellowish~brown dye used In making
khaki clothing and equipment was
discovered by two Englishmen whose
names have not been preserved In
history. They first extracted the dye
from coal tar in 1885 end It was in1-
mediately used in the manufacture Of
clothing and equipment for British
soldiers.
The value Of the neutral shade Of
uniform was at once appreciated by
Lord Roberts, who, in 1885, ordered
that all OF the clothing worn by Brit
fish soldiers sent to Egypt and the
Sudan be Of the khaki hue. Nven the
cannon and their wheels, az we'll a.
those Of wagons, tents, mess kits,
canteens, ETC., were painted or dyed
with khaki.
The American army adopted khaki
from the British and In recent years
improved upon it by using olive drab
dye for WOODEN clothing.

look 30 tiny, just like we have seen
people on the streets far below when
we looked over the top Of q high
building In our cities. They are work
ing their way Id and out and around
the shell craters. In some OF the
holes we make out the unmistakable
lines of the machine gun, though it L.
partly hidden from view by mud,
weeds and other camoufage.

The artillery is hammering away.
The machine gunners are at work. We

We scramble down the hillside and
trudge back into camp. The day Is
over and with 1t Games "off duty"

at Camp Mcclellan, for there are real

The Old Folks and Orphans home for negro people at GA Weaver street, is in distress. They are in need of means for carrying on the daily work of the in- stitution, and are making an appeal to the public for a Thanksgiving offering. It is pointed out by Mrs. J. E. Hutchin- son, president of the organization, that clubs among colored women have been practically abandoned. during the war, and that that old folks and orphans have been somewhat neglected, because these organizations have been giving most of their time to war activities.
 This is the only charitable institution operated in this district by .colored peo- pe and has been in operation for the past IS years During this time they have cared for a large number of orphan boys and girls. There are 13 inmates in the home today, and these old people range from 60 to 80 years of age. help less and dependent.

The line way unchanged. In accord ance with plan, the march has been halted for short time. while the heavier artillery, supply service and other ele- ments can be brought up. However General Dickmans headquarters were moved on to Longuyon tonight and corps and division commanders made similar advances.
 As the Germans withdraw the concen- trntion of the army of occupation is in- creased, and not for a moment has vigi- lance been relaxed. All possible tactical advantage is carefully taken and the forces are so deployed that the peaceful march might easily within the presence of the enemy, be converted into hos tile operation.
 CARRYING OUT TERMS
 The second day of the advance served to confirm the belief at the American headquarters, however, that there was no thought of treachery in the minds of the German general staff and that the terms of the armistice will be faithfully carried out.
 There have been B few isolated cases where surrendered materials have been damaged, but it is not thought such dam age was wrought under orders of Ger man commanders. The surrender Of dam
