British Highland regiments, being
recruited from various clans, as a mat
ter of policy are usually not clothed
in any clan tartan, but in adaptations
thereof. An exception, however, is
the Mackenzie tartan, which is used
by the Seaforth Highlanders. The
Royal Highlanders, or "Black Watch"
use mixture of black and green based
on the tartan of branch of the great
Clan Campbell. but distinct therefrom.
From this somber hue they got their
name. Mounted Highland warriors
even centuries ago wore in place of
the kilt close-fitting tartan trousers re-
sembling tights and called "trews."
To this day the colonel and other
mounted officers Of Highland regi-
ment wear trews and not kits, and in
general any representation of a High
lander on horseback and wearing a
kilt is wrong. A number of Scottish
regiments and one distinctly Highland
regiment, the Highland Light Infan-

The strength of this novel scheme
of fortifications may be recognized
when we realize that the Diamond
Head stands between the batteries
and the sea and renders effective
battleship fire in an attack almost
impossible. Since the mortars simply
drop their shells upon the object OF

the mountain does not interfere in

at the time of the interment and
continuously since, now form an in
valuable collection of approximately
SO items, ranging from the conven-

eagle feathers and fragments OF ships.
The tributes have come from practi-
cally all the patriotic societies in this
country. and from officials and or
ganizations I in many foreign lands,
including stch distant places as China

be expected, the foreign gifts are pre-.
