Bt S Windham Man Named as Aide to Com- mander in Chief. RANK OF OFFICERS IN MILITARY SERVICE Insignia Devices Used in The United States Army. In these days when the United States soldiers are wearing the “olive drab, which is the service uniform, taking the place of the blue, it is almost im- possible at the first glance to dis- tinguish between the officers, which is intended to be the case when the ar- my is on the firing line, and to pre- vent sharpshooters picking' off the officers. which little custom is one of the desirable acts in_war, and has been since the days when the officers showed themselves conspicuously and were dressed in elaborate and dis- tinctive uniforms. The loss of officers became so great on this account that the effielency of the commands was seriously affected, and in spite of the custom which un- til very recently has obtained in the British service of officers exposing themselves, with a disregard of the bullets, in order to inspire their men with greater courage, it has been deemed better strategy to keep .the officers under cover as much as pos- sible; that being in advantageous po- sitions they might the more effec- tively handle their men and direct their fire. To further render the officers less conspicuous their uniforms have been made more simple and like those worn by their men: even the insignia of their rank has been made less prom- inent. All this is to conserve tse val- uable and carefully troined officer: that they should last longer and be in- creasing in efficienc Officers have had various sentiments toward the uniform. While desiring to honor it, they have felt that it was not necessary for them to pose be- fore the ememy in their elaborate clothing. General Grant much of the time wore the same kind of a blouse as the enlisted men, the only differ- enre being his shoulder-straps. The officers on the plains during the In- dian wars adopted zarments hest suit- ed to their service. and since the Boer war the progress toward less elabor- ate uniforms and less conspicuous in- signia has been steady and rapid. The situation has still another phase: the enlisted man has not en- joyed beinz dressed so plainly and different from the officers, and now his uniform is so similar in general arrangement, and even in the details, that the average layman when he sees a man in uniform on the streets is unable to tell, at first glance, whether he is looking at a coianel or a cor- poral. Indeed. it is often difficult for even the more skilled in such mat- ters to distinguish guickly, and it only by certain inconspicuous marks that this is possible. The “service” uniform of the United States army today is a cap with brown falling visor: a coat and breeches of olive drab cloth. the same shade as the cap: lesgings of either leather or canvas, of some shade of brown. harmonizinz with the clothing. So far the uniforms of officers and meri are very similar. Cap Devices Vary. The first difference is to be seen on the front of the cap, where the officer wears the escutcheon of the United States, and the enlisted man the in- signia of the branch of the service— crossed rifles for infantry, crossed can- non for artillery, crossed sabres for cavalry, etc. In all cases this orna- ment is of a dark bronze, but the office, always can be distinguished by the spread eagle. Looking further, on the collar of the coat are more signs and insignia. All officers of the United States arm: wear the bronze letters U. S., but the officer has also a device of the crossed arms of the branch of the service in which he is, while the enlisted men have a round disk about ome inch in diameter, bearing the weapons and the letter and number of the urit. The men also have the U. S. on another disk on the other end of the collar. To further distinguish the officer and his rank, he wears on the end of each strap which extends from the sleeve geam to the collar on each shoulder the peculiar insignia of his rank. He also has a plain band of brown braid half an inch wide, three inches from the bottom of the sleeve. This is va- ried in the case of the general staff corps, the braid being black instead of_brown. The cut of the coat and breeches is the same for officers and man. ‘While the garments of the officers are generally made of finer fabric than those of the men. it is not uncommon that they are of the same grade of wool goods. Only officers wear boots of brown leather, but many wear the leather put- tees, and recently the issue of a leather puttee has been made to enlisted men: jbut generally the latter wear some i form of brown canvas puttee. By Cord and Collar. The field uniform consists of the campaign hat and cord, the o. d. shirt, and the remainder the same as the service. The hat is the same for offi- cers and men, but officers below the grade of general wear a hat cord of black and gold, while the enlisted men wear a wool cord of the service—blue for infantry, 1ed for artillery, vellow for cavalry, orange for signal corps, maroon for medical and hospital ser- vice. ‘When wearing the shirt the officer’s rank is indicated by the insignia of the rank on the corner of the eollar and th device of the branch of the service on the other corner. As a second lieutenant has no mark or insignia of rank, he is dependent on his hat cord to sustain his position, for, as a captain once said, referring to his second lieutenant, r. Blank has lost his hat cord, and a second leu- tenant without a hat cord does not rank very high, especially at night.” When wearing the o. d. overcoat still another way of distinguishing the dif- ference of rank is provided. The cut of the coat of the enlisted man varies in certain details from the officers’: it has a deep cuff on each sleeve; it also is fastened with bronze buttons where the officer’s coat is fastened with brown horn butt The principal means of identification is by the insignia mark on the sleeve. which consists for gen- eral officers of a band of lustrous black mohair braid one and a quarter inches wide, placed with its lower edge two and a half inches above the end of the slegve, and a second band of lustrous Grand Army men in Connecticut are asked by Department Commander Benjamin H. Cheney of New Haven to make every effort to attend the 5lst national encampment of the G. A. R., which will be held in Boston the week of Aug. 19. In his general orders Com- mander Cheney points out to the Con- necticut veterans that this is probably the last time a national encampment of the Grand Army will be held so near at hand. Among the aides on the staff of De- partment Commander Cheney of Con- | necticut is James Haggerty of F. D. Long post. Windham THREE CALLS SO FAR THIS MONTH Department Responded Thursday For Supposed Fire on Division Street. The third call for the local fire de- partment_this month was sent in at about eight o’'clock Thursday morning for a supposed fire in the house owned by Mrs. Susan Graham at 47 Division street. When the firemen arrived they found no cause for the aiarm al- though the chimney was very heated. During the month of July last wear ! there were only five calls for the de- partment. The chief feels that things have been going altogether too smooth- Iy and that a big and disastrous fire is due and everyone should be on the lookout to prevent this. HOW TO REGULATE LAMPS. ment for Drivers. The automobile department is en- gaged in getting out a statement that will explain to those who operate au- tomobiles how to adjust their lights so as to comply with all the conditions | required by law. The statement will show how to secure proper focus and proper height of lights. In addition to this work, the department expects to compiete the work of taking a cen- sus of all the automobile trucks and | pleasure cars in the state within a | month. This work was begun under {the former administration, but there | was not time to flnish it before the law for the organization of the new department went into effect. AT THE DAVIS THEATRE. The Slave Market. Large audiences saw Paullne Fred- erick in The Slave Market at the Da- vis theatre on Thursday afternoon and evening. Pauline Frederick has played many great roles on the screen, ranging from “Zaza.” the French a#ress, and “Bella Donna,” the English adventur- ess in the Orient, to “Audrey,” the simple American child of the forest, and the primitive French-Canadian Nanette of the Wilds.” Now the great famous proud Spanish beauty in the Paramount Picture, “The Slave Market.” With her is Thomas Meighan, foxmer Lasky player, who makes his first appearance in a Famous Play- ers production in this picture. The “Slave Market,” is a thrilling romance of the Spanish Main, of pi- rates, love, hate, and all that goes with them. Tt is crammed full of action, from the time that Pauline Frederick steps upon the screen until, in a tremendous scene, Thomas Meighan, as a soldier of fontune, rescues her from the band of pirates who had placed her bn sale in the slave market in re- venge for the death of their leader. Six wonderful reels of motion pictures. The other picture is Enid Bennett in “The Girl Glory,” a five part Triangle production, full of langhs, and unusual- ly interesting, a regular comedy of quaint village life. To complete the show there is Reel Life, an exception- ally interesting picture that is well worth seeing. Charged With Assault. Max Kopka was arraigned before Justice Smiddy in Montville, on Tues- day morning, on a charge of assault upon his wife. His case was ad- journed until next Meonday. He was placed under $100 bonds. Mrs. Emma Lindy went bonds for him. The agrest was made by Constable Michael J. Hickey. Miss Wilson Was Guest. Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the president, was the guest of the Chautauquans Wednesday afternoon in New London. She is an admirer of the association and took special in- terest in listening to the Kerry Sing- ers, who showed exceptional ability.

Long Established Designs. The forms of the insignia of rank of ‘commissioned officers have not changed to any marked extent during the past half century. A general officer is indi- cated by five-pointed stars, in number according to his grade. This was es- tablished in the army regulations of 1813, one star for a brigadier general, two stars for a major general. These are worn on the shoulder strap of the service uniform coat or on the collar of the fleld service shirt. The common type of shoulder strap, peculiar to the dress uniform, was introduced by wl army order in 1835, and this form is still in use, varied only in the detail of materials and finish. ‘Whether this war will produce gen- | eral officers of the two higher grades is not known. If it should happen ' that a leutenant general should be created by congress he would wear one large silver star one and a quar- ter inches in diameter, between two silver stars each 15-16 inch in diam- eter. Should the exigencies of the situation require the ereation of a “general,” his insignia would be the coat-of-arms of the United States be- tween two sflver stars each 15-16 inch in_diameter. The stars of both the major and brigadier generals are the small tvpe, 15-16 inch in diameter, an appear on_the shoulder-strap or shirt collar. For the fleld and line officers the insignia are as follows, worn on the strap or collar: Solonel, a silver spread-eagle three-quarters Inch high and two inches between the tips of the wings: lieutenant colonel, a silver leat one inch high and wide; major the same size and pattern of leaf, but of gold instead of silver: captain, Why Have Gray Hair?

H t It is comparatively recently that the about ybody's Un o1 United States army restored the chey- | the wor Philade ron to its original and proper position with the point up. As the army and navy of this country inherited many of | its ‘customs and traditions from the British service, so the position of the chevron was imitated and the British army still retain the chevron with the point down. Rudyard Kipling, in one of his poems of the service, has axpressed an ap- preciation of the men who wear chev- rons. While honor and responsibility are given the wearers of the shoulder he recognizes, as all should, he backbone of the army is the non-commissioned man,” and though chevrons may seem humble, the indi- cate the fact that especial confidence is reposed in the wearer and that he is in a position to render signal service in many ways. To “wear the heart on the sleeve” is an indication of senti- mental weakness, but to wear a che ron on the sleeve is a sign that has much to do in forming the sentiment and the efficiency of the army. The_ex: fon i eredited to Napo- leon, “E: man bears in his knap- sack the baton of a field marshal,” so it may be possible to find the fertile elements of an efficient officer in the wearer of chevrons. On the o. d. uni- form they are inconspicuous, but their wearers are entitled to confidence and worth watching. \ Safatoéa Restaurant and Quick Lunch JOHN D. METROPOLIS, Prop.
