ing quite unable to distinguish the color of
a piece of red cloth held up before them.
Sometimes the victim loses his eyesight al

are thus benumbed people do not see as
distinctly, and this effectiveness of vision
tends to increase and become permanent.

NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS,

Circular Letter No. |.
CoNRADE.-The commander in chief upon
assuming the duties Of his Office, desires TO
touch elbows and keep step with the depart
ment commanders and all comrades that
there may be no break along the line Ii is
his hope that this year will be one Of ear
nest active work. Every Grand Army
post should be a recruiting station. There
is necessity for thiS. We are confronted
with the fact that thousands OF honorably
discharged soldiers and sailors Of the re-
belion are not members of the Grand Army
Of the Republic The names Of all Of these,
our old companions in arms, who live with
in "a reasonable distance Of a Grand Army
post, should be counted on our rolls. Until
this is done our organization has not reached
its maximum. II is for you, comrades, TO
say whether we shall advance or retreat.
We cannot stand still-we must advance
Let il be understood that as in lS6l-5 the
politics or religion Of a comrade were not
questioned: that as then we did not permit
differences on this question to divide us. so
il shall be now. Fraternity. charity and
loyalty is a platform broad enough for every
survivor OF the union army To stand upon.
Standing upon that platform the spirit Of
true cOmradeship protects comrades
sectarian and political opinions from even
adverse criticism. His opinions on these
questions he is entitled To. With them
his comrades have nothing to do, save TO
respect them and TO protect him in the free
exercise of the same. AS members of the
grandcst civic organization IN the world let
us, one and all, hew to this line. AS officers,
let us practice what we preach. BY so do
ing we may reasonably hope ia increase in
members and usefulness and strengthen
the bonds of comradeship that should bind
the veterans of the union army and navy
one TO another, a comradcship the warp and
wool OF which are fraternity and charity
woven in the loom of loyalty.
Comrades the commander-in chief asks
that which he believes he will receive
your active cooperation in advancing the
lines OF our order. With your assistance
much can be accomplished; without ii his
labors will be In vain. Department COM
| manders will, at as early day as possible,
notify these headquarters of the time and
place Of holding the encampment in each
department. This letter is subscribed by
your comrade in r. &. and J..

Yellow Jack CONQUERED.

Fair cool weather has been the great
blessing OF Florida the past week and the
yellow fever epidemic may be said to have
ended. There is courage in every face The
weather is favCr2b 10 those who are sick
and those who are IN health are invigorated
while the microbes are taking a rest.
The loss incurred by Jacksonville through
the almost complete closing of the business
houses the past six weeks will DC something
enormous, though the figures cannot be APP
proXimated now. Many storekeepers and
clerks, who have had the fever and are re
covering, will reopen their places OF bust
ness in few days, though there Is almost
nobody TO buy yet. In the mean time there
is feeling of returning confidence in the
neighboring cities. Quarantine regulations
are being relaxed or removed, and the panic
is subsiding.

of dependent people who must be cared for
until trade with the outside world can be

GETTING READY FOR WAR.
Great Britain Urges Canada to Pre-
pare for a Fight.

The members of the dominion cabinet
| have been summoned to the capital in con-
sequence of dispatch received from the
| imperial authorities through Lord Stanley,
governor general, asking for information
regarding the volunteer militia force and
the defenses OF Canada.
The British government, 10 appears, real
izing that Canada is in a semi-defenceless
condition should any trouble arise with the
United States over retaliation, have asked
for an extensive report OF the armed re-
sistance the country could offer should
there be any trouble. The cabinet council
will meet in the course of week or so,
when a report which has been prepared on
the subject by Sir John Thompson, minister
OF justice, will be submitted.
Sir Joh,i Mcdonald has asked the people
OF the counties bordering on the Rideau
canal, which connects the Ottawa river
with the great lakes at Kingston, TO petit
ton the government to deepen that canal,
which was built by the British government
after the war Of 1912, but has since become
so shallow that a guDbOat could not pass
through It. The object of this move is to
open up an inland water communication
from Montreal to the great lakes, In conse-
quence Of the liability Of the ST. Lawrence
river route and the Grand Trunk railway
being closed by American forces immediate
~ on the outbreak of trouble.

forces, Col. Powell, is receiving reports
