Compulsory Mustaches in Britain.
London, July r'3L British army cir
cles, and flie general public . don 't
know -whether1 to laugh or beeome
alarmed over the nearest approach
to a strike the British army , has ex
perienced. ' The whole thing 1 hinges
on tbe question of compulsory ' mus
taches for English army officers.
Since- the beginnig of the nineteenth
century British 'army Officers have
been compelled to wear mustaches, or
at least such hair- as--could be culti
vated on the upper lip. Whiskers of
moderate lengthmay be worn. Re

pearance before tha-eolonel. The or

purely as a technical .one but it be
comes rank insubordination after
that. ,; ..: . ;. ,
. It -could even be called mutiny,
Easy going colonels have urged the
war .office that it is silly to punish
officers for so slight a thing as shav
ing one's upper lip, but Whitehall
stands by red tape, and the red tape
says there must be mustaches . so
mustaches there will be- In the mean
time, delinquents are pointing out
that King George himself ignores the
regulations by wearing a beard.
Frank Richardson, -well known au
thor, has come, to the . support, "of
Whitehall by saying: ''lam absolute-.
ly opposed, to t anVj-order that - will
abolish the lip whisker'. Were the
