NEW UNIFORMS FOR ARMY. Board Recommend Radical Changes In Clothing, Pretty 8tyl of Cap, and Serviceable Swords. All the poetry about the brnve (Iced of the ' boys In blue" Is In danger ol being rendered obsolete. So far as campaign clothing Is con cerned tlie blue ha; been a hack num. ber ever since the beginning or the Spanish war. The urmy uniform board has been In session In Wash ington for severnl months, of which Major Oenetal Hughes is president. It has HiibmlttPli its report to the Spcretary of War. The hoard recom mends some very radical and far reaching chuuges In the uniforms or both olllcer and men or the United State army. In the rnture the sol diers must be called the "Men in Khaki," ror the ruinous and charac teristic blue Held uniforms will be none away with except for occasion of semi-dress. For field uniform tlie board ha designed a suit of "khnki green" color, not by any means pre senting a beautiful uppearunce, but considered by army oincers as most serviceable. In the summer and for Lot climate this uniform will be ol light weight, and In the winter and cold climate or heavy material. The long blue overcoat worn tor so ninny year by both officers and men will be succeeded by a long overcoat of thl same brownish green color. In the expert opinion of the officers who constitute the uniform bourd the new eclor adopted will be most difficult for nn enemy to see on the field ol battle. Us wearing quulit!e are also superior to the blue uniforms which l.ave so long characterized the Amer ican army. Many changes are also I commended by Hie board for full dress uniforms. The helmet will be abandoned and a cap of the same shape as worn ny Lieutenant General Mile will be adopted, This cap is modeled after the cap worn by tbe Italian army. The shoulder knots are to be greatly reduced lu size and made more ornamental. The sword carried by officers will In the luture be a weapon lu every sense of the word. In stead or a toy affair such as Is no used. The new uniforms ror the or fleers will lm a good deal like that worn by General Miles ror several year past very quiet ami modest Instead or loud and garish like that worn by General Corbln while he was touring the country with Prince Henry. 8TATE DEPARTMENT TO ACT.
