ARABS PLAYED BIG ROLE
(Roston Transcriptl

Few realize the greatness of the role played by the Arabian culture through the Dark Ages. As MT. Gibran told his interviewer the other day: Tn the century after Mohammed, the Arabs composed the greatest empire in the history of the world-from within sixty miles of Paris to the heart of China And with it grew the learning and the literature of the people. Al that time they had the only universi- ties in the world. They knew that the earth was round long before Calico; in the towers of their churches were telescopes; later, when the Spanish came, and conquered, they replaced theTn with church bells.
 When all Europe was dark, in the Flight, Ninth and Tenth centuries, the Arabs had school of translators oi Greek philosophy. The Book of Job

 In Germany experiments with field service uniform were begun immediate ly after England's war with South Africa, but it was not until 1908 that definite uniform was decided upon. The army since that time has been equipped with field uniforms of brownish gray. Military critics of the War of the Ma tions agreed that it was the most prac- tical of the uniforms now in the field as far as adaptability for concealment is concerned, though the tight fitting tunics and heavy helmets are unsuited ] for modern warfare Q.

 The uniforms of the Italians have been rather French in character, par ticglarly since the Napoleonic conquest of Italy, but of an endless variety of colors. Previous to the unity of the country in 1861 each separate kingdom and state maintained and dressed it's army as it saw fit. It was not until 1870 that the entire Italian army came
 under one dress regulation. These regulations were changed in 1890, at which time the present uniform was adopted The field uniform is brown

Until the great war broke out France had never adopted any official field uniform for it's army as a whole. Troops on duty in Africa had been supplied with khaki. while several experiment tai uniforms had been tried in sections Of the home army. When the war broke out in 1914 the troops went into ser

vice in their historic red and blue. The impracticability of this uniform was soon discovered, and a colored cloth of light grayish blue was adopted This was said to blend better with the sur roundings in the field in Northern France than the khaki worn by the English.
 The British army was first entirely equipped with a field service uniform in the South African War of 1S99-1902. The color adopted was the same as the khaki colored uniforms which had been used in India and the same uniform is still used. Though carving in color and
