MAJOR PAYNE TO TAKE 31ST
BRIGADE TO PACIFIC

Major Morris B. Payne left New
London at 2.40 Wednesday morning
for Fort Schuyler, n. Y. on orders
which he received on Monday to re-
port. The major was present at. the
welcome for the men of the Fifty
sixth regiment under his command
Tuesday and he received an ovation
as he marched at the head of the
company with three others of the Of
fcers.
Major Payne mas been ordered to
take the men VINO are still in the
Thirty first brigade and proceed forth
with to California with them. The
report that he is TO accompany troops
to Siberia is not well founded. He has
nc expectation of having TO go 10 d
IBERIA, but expects TO remain for a time
on the Pacific coast. There is at
present no coast artillery in California
and the army offfctrs want a brigade
On that coast as well as on the Allan
tic coast.
Major Payne was not anxious to go
at this tine. He has just returned
from strenuous duty abroad, where he
participated in the fighting with the
regiment, and he has been at home
with his family only for a few days
On hurried and brief furloughs.
Officers at Fort Schuyler who were
abroad with him have telephoned him
while he was home and urged that
they be allowed to go. having q de-
sire TO continue in service with him
following their experiences and asso-
citation in France.

BY DISCHARGED SOLDIERS
A war department circular announc

A war department circular annourc
es the following:
Present Law authorizes a discharged
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 cere'
mony.
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 pow before Congress,
which if passed. will autn,:rize enlisted
men to keep the uniform which they
are permitted to wear home, and to
wear that particular uniform, only,
provided some distinctive mark or in
sigma to be issued by the War De-
partrnent, shall be worn.
1t will thus be clearly seen that
neither under existing or proposed
law will a discharged soldier be per.
11itted to wear uniforms made by c1-
william or other tailors T'hev 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 widest
publicity to this information, both
among the soldiers of their commands
ana in the local press. No person viii
be permitted to solicit or,!ers for. or
deliver uniforms to soldiers about to
be discharged. Persons or concerns
persisting in selling uniforms to such
soldiers, aztec having been warned not
TO do SO. will not be permitted TO come
