Yesterday In both houses of. congress considerable
heat developed over a report that President Wilson
was disposed place the blame, if the appropriation
bills and the other pressing legislation failed to get
through upon the Republicans. Thetime consumed in
the debate upon that was real waste. Mr. Wilson
probably did not say 1T in the first place. and in the
second place if the legislative program goes to smash
the country at large will understand very clearly where
the responsibility rests Congress is founderng and
aboring during its closing ours because of the nef
cheney and the marrow partsanship of the Democratic
leaders.

SOLDIERS FREE TO
WEAR AL Uniform
No Restrictions Placed On Use
Of Equipment By Dis
charged Men.

Returned soldiers may not only wear
their uniforms without any time limit,
but they may wear and use any of the
equipment they may have had when dis
charged from service, according to re.
cent instructions received by the Home
Service section Of the Red Cross, with
offices in the Salem post office build
ing.
For a time the general information
was that a soldier might wear his uni
form for only three months from the
date Of big discharge. Bnt according to
revised instructions, this ruling has all
been changed
There is Just one provision required
of the former soldier, and that is, he
must wear some distinctive mark to
show his service. This distinctive mark
it has been decided must be the red
chevron. The Law now provides that this
red chevron must be worn point up on
the sleeve between the elbow and
shoulder Of the coat or oyereoat or on
the shirt when worn without coat
However, the war department. pro,
vides that the uniforms must be worn
with due respect. While il is permitted
70 wear them with the red eheyron, Il
i understood the uniform must not be
worn for every day tasks whereby 1t
would become dirty and slovenly. And
above all, the uniform must not be
worn when engaged in selling any ar
ticlc TO the general public. Il should be
saved for parades and reunions.
Besides the uniform, the discharged
soldier Is entitled 70 wear other equip.
ment, and II he did not receive them At
the time Of his discharge, he is entitled
to get them from the war department
by writing to the domestic distribution
branch, office of director Of storage,
Washington, d. c. In making appliea-
ton for equipment not gwen ct the
time Of discharge, there must be the af
Of service, and also giving the
sizes worn.
When the soldier gets this additional
equipment. he is entitled to wear the
articles. with due respect nf court 70
the cause in which they were worn.
