DRESS REFORM IN THE ARMY
New Uniform Gives Satisfaction
(5pecial Air Mall. Service)
London, Oct. 20. Interim reports regarding the reformed Service, dress with which the Army is experimenting have served to show the impression that has been made upon wearers and abservers. At the end of the year a final report is to be made, after a fresh medical inspection of the selected wearers--50 men of the 2nd Battalion the Queen's Royal Regiment.
The original issue of" the uniform has now been in hard wear for two years. Contrary to various Press reports, it has given great satisfaction save in certain details.
Most striking of all the fact that the men who have worn it have proved something like 50 per cent. better as regards physical endurance after hard marches and nights in the field than those who were wearing the present pattern Service dress,"
The loose-Atting Jacket has earned unstinting praise, and the open-heck "cricket shirt" seems to be equally favoured in principle. Over the Jeg-wear there is more argument—somewhat naturally, since alternative types were tried.
Puttees Beat Gaiters-
The short trouser with long, turn down over the knee is not altoget- her liked, and, for the calf, the puttee seems to have retained favour as against the gaiter.
The item of the new uniform which attracted most public atten- tion, mostly scoffing, was the deer- stalker bat. Nevertheless, this has proved to have marked practical advantages, and the only modifica- tion suggested has been the inser- tion of a stiff lining which may improve its durability as well as its appearance.
The course of the experiments has witnessed an interesting réver- sal of traditional roles. For in thi case the War Office has sponsored an unconventional change, while public opinion has been stubbornly conservative.
The Army authorities are cer- tainly to be congratulated on the way they have persevered with the experiment, despite repeated out- bursts of ridicule. To a large ex- tent this has arisen from mis-
