MAI. PULLMAN To AID
ARMY in HOLDING ORDER
New Order Amounts to Partial Mill
tary Law in District.

MAJ. Raymond w. Pullman. supsrinten-
dent Of police, yesterday issued orders to
police captains TO render all possible as
sistance 70 military authorities in making
arrests or maintaining order on the
streets OF the city.
This new order practically amounts to
partial military rule for the District. it
was pointed out by police officials last
night. 1t is a forcible reminder that the
country actually is at war.
The order declares that a provost guard
IN charge Of a commissioned officer of
the rank of lieutenant or of higher rank
may make arrests at any time.
You will instruct the members of your
command that they will assist the men
IN charge OF the provost guard. accom-
panytng them to the patrol box. and call
the wagon. so that the person under ar
rest may be detained at the station for
future action Of the military authority -
reads Maj. Pullman's bulletin sent to all
police captains.
Each person so detained after arrest
by the provost guard will be marked on
the record as held for the military au-
thortties, making the officer of the pro-
Vost guard the complainant" it is further
explained.
The guard is to have authority to ar
rest soldiers for violation OF either the
civil or military law. Police are expect
ed to lend their assistance to the guard

NEWSPAPERS PROTEST
TAX BILL MEASURES
Revenues Already Decreased, War Bur-
den May Close Many Plants.

NBy the International News Service
Chicago, May 10. - Commenting upon
those provisions OF the government tax
bill Affecting the newspapers, HONEYWELL
l. Rogers, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association. made
the following statement tonight:
1T is difficult to understand the policy
Of the government in the unfair practice
or dating taxes back, but also in putting
so great a tax on business in any form
and particularly in placing So heavy a
tax on the newspaper business which has
probably been more severely affected in
the last year through increased prices
than any other industry In time Of war
they suffer particularly owing To the
enormously increased expenses due 10
the gathering Of war news and the In
creased circulation-for increased circu-
lation means increased expenses.
In the last year most Of the napvS-
papers Of the country have been com
PEELED to increase the subscription price
OF their papers as well as their advertIs-
ing rates in an attempt to obtain earn
inss Sufficient to carry on their bust
ness.
The newspapers fully realize the .erI-
BUSINESS of the present situation and an
preciate that they must bear theiT share
OF the burden, but the provisions Of tb,S
proposed bill seem more severe on tba
newspapers than on any other linz ~
business and are to this extent ,,rt,,st
and indefensible."

'"SKIP STOP" RAILWAY
SERVICE IS WANTED

abstain from the use of tobacco and al
cohol. and should voluntarily undergo
color-test examinations from time to
time.
The color-test examinations pursued in
laboratories for research work are highly
complicatd, the apparatus used being
very expensive and delicate. All these
are useless for marine and railway work
because In some cases colors may be
determined with absolute correctness at
short distances but fail utterly at longer
ones-and what may appear as normal
color vision in the office or laboratory
may prove abnormal at longer range.
Furthermore, color becomes more quickly
lost when gazed at by one whose vision
is defective than by one who fs nor
mal-sighted. 1t becomes apparent, then,
that safety distance cannot be adequate
ly determined by ordinary methods of
near-at-hand tests: the necessity to ex-
anime for safe distances, is, therefore
so great that special out-of-door appara-
tus Is now used whereby the degree and
amount Of color sense along the visual
line can be absolutely determined, the
organs Of vision being placed under
precisely the same circumstances as they
would be when It becomes necessary that
they should be the sole means for the
avoidance OF threatened accident or the
prevention OF danger.
The Washington herald., 1917-05-11

Color blindness is divided into two clas-
ses which are separate and distinct from
each other, although both may exist in
the same person. In the first class there
is light as well as a color loss, in the
second class the perception of light is the
same as in the normal sighted, but there
is a defect in the perception of color.
In the first class, certain rays are either
not perceived at all or very imperfectly;
this condition OF the eye is normal with
certain animals and with men at twi-
light vision. A variety of occupations is
open to those who see only in white,
gray and black tones. such as photog-
raphy, ithography, wood-cutting, steel
and copper-plate engraving. while at
painting they become adopts.
The second and far more common form
of color blindness consists in an inability
to perceive certain colors, usually red
and green: although a few cases are re-
ported in which yellow was confused with
blue
Experiments that are altogether too
complicated to enter into here, would
tend to show that the retina is made
up Of three color zones adapted to direct
vision only. We all know that IL we
wish to look at an object, we gaze d.
rectly at st.; II It passes out OF our d.
rect line of vision, we see it imperfect
~ AHLll lno HGdu - anu ln6 eyes
are again focused in direct vision. We
must say then that the normal eye is
normal only for purposes OF direct vision,
while in indirect vision it is partially or
totally color blind. Those who are alb
normally color blind, lack most the mid
die or red-green zone; these colors ap-
pear to them as gray; they cannot per-
ceive the two outermost ends OF the color
spectrum. the left or long wave end ap-
pearing yellow, and the right or short
wave end. blue. In other words, one
who Is color blind sees the spectrum as a
normal-sighted person sees 1t upon indi-
rect vision, and the whole visual world
consists OF blacks, whites and grays to-
getheI with blues and yellows in all pos
sible variety Of tints. The partially
celor blind. therefore, confuse pure red
with pure green IL the tint and chroma
are the same they also confuse orange
and yellow-green, purple and blue-green,
rose and blue, vermillion and brown.
Acquired color blindness may be due to
disease of one kind or another; to in
juries of the eye; to the use OF drugs;
and what Is a more common cause than
any other. to the continued use OF to-
bacco. which not only reduces the SEN
sitivity of the eye to color. but to vision
also. Tobacco amblyopia, as 1t Is termed.
aided by mental depression and a low
state Of health. may be developed at any
period OF a mans career; 1t is progress
sive, and at first unrecognized. Alcohol
also produces a condition of the eyes that
impairs markedly the sense of color and
sight. 1t must. therefore, be apparent
that those engaged in railway or marine
occupations who have successfully pass
ed the color test examinations at one
time, may subsequently acquire color
blindness which will unfit them for posi-
sponsible for the safety OF innumerable
lives. From this it will be seen how
necessary it is that men holding posts
OF such responsibility should religiously

MINING DEAl. |S MADE GROUND
 IN |D|TAROD

A deal of much interest in mining circles has been consummated in Sditarod by which John Beaton and Harry Donnelley purchased the inter- est of R. s. McMillan in the Black [ creek dredge and mining ground of Riley and McMillah, The terms of the transfer were not made public, says the Iditarod Pioneer.
 It is understood that the prime purpose of Donnelley and Beaton in making the purchase was to secure the dredge for the working of Slate creek, control of most of the ground on which stream is held by MT. Don nelley and his associates. But there is considerable ground on Black creek included in the transfer, which will | be worked before the machine is re- moved.
 It is probable that this will not be worked until next season. The Black creek deal has started various rumors as to further pros pective deals, no confirmation of which could be obtained, however. Among the most interesting was one which credited the Yukon Gold com pany with making overtures for the lower end of Otter creek.
 The fact that the ground had been prospected by the Yukon Gold com pany some years ago and turned down as not sufficiently inviting did not tend to squelch the rumors, which have been most persistent.
 Another rumor connected the name of we'll known operator with dredging venture on Willow creek, III the Iditarod district, but this also lacked confirmation. Willow creek has long been thought by mining mer to be an ideal dredge proposition.

Advice to q Younu Man,

Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give up the earth itself and all 1t contains, rather than do an im- moral act. And never suppose that in any possible situation. or under any circumstances, 1t Is best for you to do a dishonorable thing, however slightly so 1t may appear to you. Whenever you are to do thing, though 1t can never be known but to your self, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly. Encourage all your virtuous dispositions, and exercise them whenever an opportunity arises being assured that they will gain strength by exercise. as a limb of the body does, and that exercise will make them habitual.-Thomas Jefferson.

GOVT, RAILWAY HAS
 ITS "cHEcHAco" LIMITED

Every large railroad in the United States has it's special trains, and all of them are named. For instance tn" Rock Island railroad has it's Golden State Limited, and other roads have trains with similar high sounding names.
 But in very few instances has any railroad more than one train par ticularly designated. This, however, is not true concerning the Alaska government railroad, according to re
