SOLDIERS GET NEW UNIFORMS.
Company M Will Have Fresh Togs
for Tuesday's Parade.
STYLE OF UNIFORM FOR COMPANY M
When Company M, Third regiment, turns out for parade on Tuesday in honor of Archbishop Glennon, Kansas City will get its first opportunity to see the new service uniform of the national guard regiment M company is the first to have the new equipment issued to it The clothing proper is familiar, but the rifle and belts are of new pattern. Instead of the old style cartridge belt the guardsmen wear a bandolier, copied after that worn by the Boers in their last war, in which are clips containing five cartridges each. This bandolier is fastened to a waist belt. From the waist belt is hung the soldier's canteen, coffee cup, haversack and bayonet. The weight of this equipment, instead of being sustained by the hips as of old, is carried by straps across the shoulders, which really are uncrossed suspenders.
