umns in length, telling of the name
in which Emil Buchholz, a rancher

story reads:

a band of confidence men who, they

To Return Borrowed Binoculars.

Iowans who responded to the call
of the navy department. for binocu-
lars, telescopes, spy glasses, sex
igation instruments some months
ments returned or be paid their
value in full, the navy department
announced today in a general order
which went to all commanders in
.structing them to return to the navy
department all these donated gifts.
Each instrument is to be accom-
panied by a statement showing the
''ship or station where same was
used and if any historic interest at
taches in connection with war &C
Invites, full details are to be given"
This information will be furnished
the donor, withan engraved certlfi-
cate, showing appreciation of the
loaned instrument.
"The certificates" said state
ment by the navy department, will
be ready for distribution in two or
three months time. In cases where
articles were lost at sea and it is
possible to establish the fact, the
same certificate will be forwarded
to the donor. Attention is called to
the fact that the majority of the
articles will show evidence of hard
usage, but the added historic inter-
est that will be attached will, it is
believed, compensate the owners
who so periodically loaned them
for government service

elias a soldier a right to wear his
uniform after he receives his honor
able discharge is a frequent query.
There is general federal statute
prohibiting the wearing of any army
or navy uniforms by civilians and
the offense is punishable by fine OF
$500 and six months Imprisonment.
But there are these exceptions: A
commissioned officer may wear his
uniform on occasions of ceremony
at any time after the war, but is not
allowed to wear it in business or in
pleasure. This means that at public
receptions, dinners, balls, mass meet
ings and other similar functions,
any officers above the grade of en-
sign or lieutenant may wear the
uniform of his rank any number of
years after his discharge. AS to
other army and navy men the law
is not so considerate. 1t permits
enlisted men to wear the uniform
for three months after the date OF
discharge. The law specifies that
the enlisted man may wear his uni
form from the place of his discharge
to his home within three months af-
ter his discharge" The war depart
ment, it is said has given the broad
est construction possible by con-
STRUNG it as permitting the soldier
or sailor to wear his uniform after
he arrives at his home, So long as
he is not caught wearing it after the
three months expire.
