Khaki Colors Differ.

Considerable comment is being aroused in official circles and elsewhere over the disparity of the khaki I uniforms worn by officers and privates. I Some of them are so faded that they took almost white, while others retain original coloring. A, few cases have been noted, states the Pathfinder, I where the coat and breeches of uniforms have developed different hues. One excuse offered is that the khaki cloth is acquired from many manufacturers and the grades of it differ wide-1 ly sometimes. Thousands of young men entering the af&cen’ training camps purchase their own uniforms, and this provides,an opportunity for a difference in the quality <Nt the goods.
