Washington.-In an effort to
secure better fitting uniforms for
American soldiers, more than
100000 men in the army have
had their measure taken, the
war department announced. The
measurements We're said to form

proportion of sizes should be car
ried for troops, according to the

plus clothing kept on hand to fill
