BELGIAN SOLDIERS CLOTHED IN KHAKI Special Cable to The Tribune. DUNKIRK, France, Aug. 14. The Belgian Bel-gian army Is now clothed in khaki Instead In-stead of the dark coh'ied and conspicuous uniform of the earlier months of 1 he war. It has been a popular change, since the khaki of the British soldier has been much admired by the Belgians as both smarter in a military stnse and more business-like than their own dark blue and green. The sanitary situation alone the Belgian Bel-gian front is excellent, and the sick report re-port Is exceedingly small. The bodies of dead horses and men floating in the Hrea covered by water have heen fished out and destroyed, and the country in gene'-al cleaned up back of the lines. Ueltrian officers have established Utile Ut-ile chicken yards back if the trendies for fresh fftus, and angling for carp In the canals is one of the chief recreations of officers and man when off duty.
