Miss Oberholtzer' dying statement
undoubtedly is the strongest bit Of

battle to keep from showing the

This move by Inman is regarded

actual trial.

The Army is tired of always wear
ing its working clothes. Its officers
and men want to get out of the drab
field uniform and into the blue when
called out to parade on formal occa-
sions, or to participate in social
events.
The desire for change is sharply
edged by the fact that officers and
men of the Army feel that they
suffer by contrast to their brothers
in the Navy and Marine Corps. In
parades and social gatherings where
the three services are represented
the Navy and Marine Corps personel
appear in blue uniforms with gold
trimmings, while the Army must re-
main in drab.
This situation is discussed in a
pointed manner by the official publi-
cation of the United States Infantry
Association just issued. The editor
declares the agitation for restoration
of the pre-war> blue uniforms will be
continued until existing regulations
are modified to authorize the desired
change in dress. The Army has been
in its workday clothes since 1917.
