The Beautiful Blue Room.
The Blue Room. oval in shape Is di-
rectly south. of the main hall between
the Red Room and the East Room, with
windows and doors opening on the south
portico. Rarely beautiful in its proper
tions and colorings, the Blue Room has
been made still more beautiful by the
recent changes in the interior OF the
White House. and II Is by many con-
stdered the most beautiful apartment in
the building.

bottom the Grecian fret: the curtain
hangings, of the same material as the
wall coverings, are embroidered with
stars, and the curtain poles arc sur
rounded by gilt eagles. The Grecian fret
also appears in the ceiling. Blind doors
are in the walls near the southern end
OF the room, and at receptions the guests
coming from the Red Room pass the re-
cetving party standing IN a single line di-
rectiy In front OF the windows The

On the mantle in the Blue Room stands

clock Is kept running every day, and is
said to be an excellent timekeeper.
The green room occupies the same rela-
i've space on the eastern and southern
sides of the White House as the Red Room
does on the western side, and. like that
room has doors communicating with the
Blue Room. One door also opens into
the large East Room, and another into

Train Robbers Caught

Three men, A.. V. Smith, Bert
Christy and Jack Demsey, have been
arrested for the recent train rob-
berry near Wendover. On the night
o. the hold-up Smith and three
others left Wendover in an auto
mobile, saying they were going to
Ely. Auto tracks were found near
the scene of the hold-up and it is
believed four men were implicated,
the officers now being hot on the
trail of the fourth man When ar
rested one of the men had over
5000 in his pockets and it is be-
lieyed this was currency taken from
the express car. Diamonds and
jewelry said to have been stolen
we're not found. Christy and Demp-
sey both had worked for the rail-
road at different times and were
familiar with the handling of trains.

OLD DARBY MILL SOLD;
WILL OPERATE AGAIN

One more incident in the long and
varied career of the Darby mill, To-
Gated at Mazuma in the Seven
Troughs district, Humboldt county,
is made known this week with the
announcement of Brooke Hartley
and George w. Forbes, who have
purchased the plant and will oper-
ate it under the firm name of of
Hartley and Forbes.
According to the managers, they
have taken a lease on the Wildcat
and Hero mines at Farrell and will
run the mill on ores from these
properties. They also plan to han
die ore from the Mazuma Hills dump,
which, though of low grade, they
believe can be worked at @ fair
profit. Arrangements have also
been made for making a run of ore
for the Fairview mine at Vernon

These reserve officers. with com
mands as first and second lieuten-
ants, are working as hard as, If not
harder than, any private soldier
that ever donned the American uni
fern. AS a matter of fact, they
are actually going through drills
and exercises, in which later they
will be called upon to train the men
who will serve under them.
1t is an inspiring sight to see
them digging trenches dressed in
full equipment. First, they study
the ground, then outline a trench
system. then dig it.
At home they learned the basic
principles required of an officer

men, military Justice, international
law, discipline and the general rules
OF war. Here they are learning the
theories of war studied beforehand.

new REGIME
SATISFIES
GREEKS
REVOLUTION THAT DEPOSED
KING RESULTS IN POPU-
LAR SYSTEM

ATHENS, Oct. 23.-The unheaval
in public affairs which Greece has
passed through in the last few
months is now officially designated
as 1.-The revolution" and it will
doubtless go down in the records OF
the European al as the Gree
revolution of 1917. Premier Veni-
zelos gave an indication of this IL
repeatedly referring to 1.-The revolu-
tion'' in his address to parliament.
While it has been peaceful, and
largely a bloodless revolution, yet
to the Greeks, it has re~volutionized
their political system almost as
much as the Russian unheaval has
affected the Russians.
The abdication of King Constan-
tine and the Crown Prince on an
uitimatum of the protecting powers,
France, England and Russia, backed
by a military and naval demonstra-
ton; the setting up of a new king
and the recall of Venizelos to di-
rect the central government at
Athens, after he had set up a separ-
ate provisional government at Sal
oniki; the complete reversal of
policy toward the European war by
Greece joining the entente allies;
and finally, the complete disappear
ahce of royalist control of public
affairs, and the re-establishment of
a government based on the control
by responsible cabinet ministers
these summarize some of the out
standing features of what is o
designated as the Greek revolution.
M. V%enizelos in a recent statement
summed up some of the general
the revolution had in view
as follows:
"In participating in this world
war at the side of the democre
states in a veritable holy-war
against the imperialist pretensions
of Germany, he said, 1--WE will not
only succeed in reconquering our
national territory from our tradi-
tional enemies, Turkey and Bulgar-
ia, now ranged with Germany.
1--WE will not only succeed in re-es-
tablishing our national honor, cloud
ed by the failure of the ex-king to
defend Serbia in accordance vii
Our treaty obligations. We will n
only defend our national interests
at the coming peace congress, an
assure u national future. We
will become, also, an honored mem

Why didn't l wait to be drafted,
And led to the train by a band,
Or put in a claim for exemption;
Oh, why did | hold up my hand?
Why didn't l wait for the banquet?
Why didn't | wait to be cheered?
For the drafted men get all the

While | only volunteered.
And nobody gave me a banquet,
Nobody said a kind word;
The puff of the engine, the grind of
the wheels,
Was all the goodbye that l heard.
Then off to the training camp hus-

To be trained for the next half-year,
And in the shuttle forgotten
l was only a volunteer.
And perhaps some day in the future,
And my little boy sets on my knee,
And asks what I did in the strug-

And his little eyes look up to me,

That at me so trustingly peer,
And say that l wasn't drafted
That l was only a volunteer.

Tax Commission Meets

At a recent meeting of the state
tax commission a hearing was given
the Tonopah and Goldfield railroad
and it's request for a reduction of
the roads assessed valuation for
this year was taken under advise
ment. An informal appearance vas
made before the commission on be-
half of the Wells Fargo company
to ask that it's petition for a de-
crease in assessment values be
granted. No final action was taken
in this matter.
