DOWN-FILLED ROBES
TO DISPLACE WOLFSKIN
FOR HOMY IN ALASKA
FUR ROBES NOT BE ISSUED TO
TROOPS IN TERRITORY WHEN
STOCK UUSED UP
Wolfskin robes, heretofore issued to
troops of the Army in Alaska, will no
longer be supplied. A down-filled com
fort will be substituted.
The Department of War has an
nounced the proposed change. Wolf
skin robes, it was stated, are valued
at §450 each, and the 150 now the
property of the Army are badly 'worn.
The down-filled comforts, however,
cost only about §25. In the interest
of economy the quartermaster corps
decided to fnake the change.
The full text of the statement fol
lows: For many years the Army has
supplied to troops in Alaska, wolfskin
robes. These have been issued to
telegraph, radio and relief stations. A
decision has just been reached by the
quartermaster corps to abandon fur
ther issue of the -wolfskins. Those on
hand wull be repaired and reissued
until entirely worn out.
