WEARING OF UNIFORM
BY DISCHARGED SOLDIERS

The present law authorizes a dis
charged officer or soldier TO wear his
uniform from the place Of discharge
TO his home, within three months of
the date Of his discharge from the
service. Thereafter the officer may
wear his uniform only upon occasions
of ceremony.
The enlisted man must return his
uniform within four months of date
of discharge; but can wear it only as
stated above.
An act is now before congress,
which if passed, will authorized en-
listed men to keep the uniform which
they are permitted to wear home, and
TO wear that particular uniform. only
provided some distinctive mark OF
insignia, to be issued by the War De.
partment, shall be worn.
II will thus be clearly seen that
neither under existing or proposed
law will discharged soldier be per.
mitted TO wear uniforms made BY
civilian OF other tailors. They may
legally wear only the particular uni
form which they have been permitted
TO retain.
Commanding officers of camps
posts and stations will give the wild
est publicity to this information, boil
among the soldier of their command
and in the local press. No person
will be permitted to solicit orders for
or deliver uniforms to soldiers abou
TO be discharged. Persons or concern
persisting in selling uniforms to sucl
soldiers, after having been warne'
not to do so, will not be permitte'
to come on or do business on tn
reservation.
BY order of the secretary of war.
