A khaki cap. to be known as the
cap, garrison" similar in style to
the cap worn overseas, has been
adopted by the United States Marine
Corps for use in the tropics at night
only by commissioned and war
rant officers, pay clerks and enlisted
men Of the Marine Corps. One gar
rison cap will be issued to each en-
listed man on tropical duty. The
bronze Marine Corps cap ornament, #
is ordered, will be worn on the left
front side. in the place provided there
for. Commissioned officers will wear
the insignia of rank on the right
side directly opposite the cap orna-
ment, in the same manner as on the

CONSTANTINOPLE. October 81
Americans in Constantinople are find
ing life dull. uninteresting and de-
void of diversion or entertainment.
They have found to their disappoint-
ment that the Turkish capital has
no theaters. no amusement centers,
no seashore resorts. few moving pic
ture houses and only one or two good
restaurants. The only places remote
ly resembling theaters are few
cheap cabaret halls. which attract
sailors. soldiers and wanderers Of all
nations, but never the Turk. The
Turk finds his diversion in the coffee
houses.
There is little night life in Con-
stantinople. After 10 o'clock the city
is as still as a New England village
on a Sabbath morning. Only the
habitues of the coffee houses or the
cabaret and beer halls are seen. AL
though prohibition is unknown. re-
freshments at these local amusement NJ
places come high. Whisky is $3.50
a glass and per cent beer 80 cents.
Have Occasional Dances.
Americans in the city amuse them
selves by occasional dances. tea parties
and week end trips on the Bosporus.
Not many OF them enjoy entree TO
the Turkish homes. three-month
stay in tho city usually is enough
to make them yearn for home. There
are now a considerable number of
them here. most Of them being con-
nected with American relief organi-
cations or commercial firms.
Although having a population of
nearly 100000. Constantinople has
no taxicabs. few automobiles and only
single trolley line. Everybody
walks or rides in the dilapidated
horse-drawn carriages or nondescript
street cars. People living in the
suburbs crowd to suffocation the fer
ryboats plying the Bosporus and the
Golden Horn. The lone trolley line
runs along the main street and sus-
ponds operation as often as the city
runs out of coal, which is frequent.
