Why tbe Soldw. tbs msgtbb Array

Are Arrayed la Beartet.

The aoarlrt uniform of (he Britiah Infantry has been greatly critimaed in rocont yean, rhleflv on the ground th«»

It exposes the men to ntxxlloaa danger by disclosing their wbereabouu to the en-

emy. Tbe obfnrtinn taken to the Kiarlet, however, is groundleas, and srientific are- givuu why the prevailing

eolar la for all puipr "

able that oould be m In the first place,

b»t attainable prot __ extremes of heat and cold tow

diera are liable to bo exposed. Tbe darker the color prohvting a warm body the more rapidly radiation prexxxxla. White would be the beat oolor to reduce radiation to a minimum, but white is barred by tAher oomnderattoiu, aa are also all thegraya Scarlet or red oomre midway between white and black or other dark oolunt while with reference to protocBoo from the sun scarlet takes a far higher place than any of the blues, greens or drab* and other ahadra often

naed for military clothing.

Yellow and orange are excluded becauac these colon are particularly conspicuous at a long diatancu. Although scarlet or red ia more amapiooooa than gray, when the son shines directly on the troops it blnra on tbe right and is oonaeqocnUy more difficult to hit With existing rifl.* the actual result of a fight is usually decided at a disJust outside the effective range of weapons. This distance lira betwreu and bOO yards. Nearer than that it la imporaible to close withont replying to the enemy's fire, and aa soon aa the return fire whistles about tbe def. ndera' heads the poaaibility of aiming rap-

idly and accurately deemaaot

Therefore, from thia point at view,

. Within 700 yards each aubit advance u conditioned by fire ority already achieved, the de■s are shaken, the time for eountis past, and the mental imonveyed by the sight of the troops becunes the main

color which enable* them to do tills so effectively as scarlet. 0b the whole, therefore, every scientific amsidnration JustHles the reteuUon of scarlet aa the beat mn form for our troops.—Strand
