HUN UNIFORMS TURNED TO GOOD ACCOUNT.

Now that the timekeeper’s howitzer has called a halt to hostilities, thousands of ureusued German uniforms that were found in the storehouses at Coblenz have been delivered to American authorities for conversion into civilian clothing for the poorer residents of the city. Both boys and men now appear in the streets in new clothes which have been disguised by dyes. The women, too, have availed themselves of the opportunity to get warm coats. They have scorned, however, the camouflage of the dye man and it is a common sight to see one wearing a long war coat that obviously was once a gray' military coat of a German officer.
