since General Pershing became Chief
OF staff. First the Sam Browne belt
was ordered worn by officers and to-
day Secretary Weeks announced
that pre-war regulations had been
restored, as far as white uniforms
were concerned.
The new order means that officers
off duty or attending social func-

in white duck and that white mess
jackets will be allowed at functions
more formal than just an ordinary
dinner.
Blue full-dress is still taboo, but
