GOVERNMENT
GIVES JOLT TO
SENSELESS FAD
Honorably discharged privates
whose rainment is tailored beyond the
hopes of most brigadier generals and
and recently demobilized sergeants
whose close-fitting blouses and Eng
lish cut riding breeches rival in natti
ness those of Pershing himself, are
due for a fall, if Ihe strong arm of
army discipline can find a way to fol
low them into civil life.
This is made clear in a copy of a
war department circular .iust received
by the adjutant at Fort Lawton, upon
whom now devolves the task of
spreading the tidings in Seattle that
the leather puttees, the finely tailored
uniforms, the silk hat cords and the
fur-trimmed overcoats in which form
er enlisted men are blossominb forth
in this city, are strictly tabu. The en
listed man, the circular makes clear,
is only entitled to wear the particular
government-made service uniform he
was permitted to retain when he left
the service. Since their homecoming
well-to-do privates, with fashionable
tailors, have been wearing glove-fit
ting uniforms of finest serge, and even
officers’ boots, specially made for
them, just to give the home folk the
treat of their lives. Now they will do
this at the risk of inviting the same
punishment meted out to civilians who
offend the law by donning the uniform
they have no right to wear.
Restrictions on Officers.
Officers, too, are limited in the wear
ing of their uniforms to occasions of
ceremony once they have reached
their homes. The circular does not
state that they are authorized to wear
their uniforms for three months after
discharge, but that they are permitted
to wear them from place cf discharge
to their homes within three months of
date of discharge.
Following is the text of the circu
lar, which is number 4?. of the current
scries, dated Janury 2.r>, and published
over the signatures of f!en. Payton C.
March, chief of staff, and Maj. Gen.
P. C. Harris, the adjutant general:
Present law authorizes a discharged
officer or soldier to wear his uniform
from the place of discharge to his
home, within three months of the date
of tils discharge fretfl the sCrvide.
Thereafter the officer may wear his
uniform only upon occasions of cere
mony.
The enlisted man must return his
uniform within four months of date
of discharge but can wear it only as
slated above.
An act is now before congress
which, if passed, will authorize enlist
ed men to keep their uniforms which
they are permitted to wear home, ami
to wear that particular uniform only
provided some distinctive mark or in
signia, to he issued by the war depart
n< n . shall be worn.
it. will thus he clearly seen that
neither under existing or proposed
law will a discharged soldier be per
mitted to wear uniforms made by civ
ilii a or other tailors. They may le
gai'y wear only the particular uniform
witch they have been permitted to
re' i in.
and stations will give the widest pub
licity to this information, both among
the soldiers of their commands and
in the local press. No person will be
permitted to solicit orders for, or de
liver, uniforms to soldiers about to be
discharged. Persons or concerns per
sisting in selling uniforms to such
soldiers, after having been warned not
to do so will not be permitted to come
on or do business on the reservation.

GALLANT STEAMSHIP BEAR
PREPARING FOR CRUISE
Advices from the Puget Sound na
val station are to the effect that the
U. S. S. Pear, famous veteran of the
North, is in Bremerton harbor for re
pairs and the installation of new boil
ers before she starts out again on her
thirty-fifth cruise to the Arctic in the
government service. A tough-looking
little vessel, weatherbeaten but sturdy
enough, she hardly looks her age of
forty-six wintry years.
Built in 1874 at the mouth of the
Clyde river, she operated as a steam
whaler for nine years. Then the
United States navy bought her. She
was made the flagship of Commander
Winfield Scott Schley and in 1844 was
sent to the rescue of General A. W.
Greeley and his party, lost in the Arc
tic. After this expedition she served
as revenue cutter for many years,
being finally transferred to the Pa
cific coast in ISSfi. Since then every
year has^seen the Bear set out on an
Arctic cruise, to bo gone seven months.
