BLUE UNIFORM IS AGAIN CONSIDERED
Training Outfit for J. s. Army
 Men

Washington, Jan. s Rl-A careful survey of American resources for the manufacture of khaki brooches has convinced army officials that if 1t became necessary to put a force of two million men into the field in less than eigh months, most of them would have to fight in their shirt | tails.
 Faced by this appalling posslbl- | ity the industrial mobilization wing of the natonal defense planning ma chinery started study of It's own. It found that 1t would be entirely possible to completely uniform two million men from head 10 foot in fifteen days, provided blue cloth in- Istead of khaki was used.
 The trouble with the khaki outfit is that not enough cloth of that color is in ordinary civilian use. There are ampl, stocks of blue and lgray, both wool and cotton fabric, IThe result has been the working out
 of a tentative blue training uniform which could be supplied in ample
 volume for a mobilization, 10 be dis
 carded as units completed their pre-
 limlnary preparation and moved out
 for final training near the zone of
 Operations.
 By that time complete khaki out fits with tan leather trappings would
 be ready for them, giving them the
 necessary degree of low visibility ir the field.
 The contemplated bleu training
 uniforms would consist of a foul button blouse. dressed with rec I shoulder knots to give a militar! | touch, blue cloth overseas caps; blu brooches, tan canvas leggings of th' . lacing variety and black shoes. Tal shoes would be preferable. but tn lsurvey disclosed only a limited quan tity of tan Munson last shoes in tn y market while there are away = plenty of blacks to be had, - The matter has not passed as yc
 beyond a study stage In the war de ; partment
