Th» vots the senate by which It wa3 decided not to extend the draft age does not mean that the senate believes the limits are now fixed for all

In flact, it is safe to say that 'opinion of the senate Is fairly repesented by Senator Simmons, who .toted against changing the draft age at this time, though he favors including men both older and younger than •those now liable to the draft.

The proposed extension was rejected because the war department, speaking "J.tfcgtugh Secretary Baker, says it is not ready to handle more than the number of men now available. In the autumn, "the gecretary indicated, a comprehensive plan for extending the •draft will be presented to congress,and ^•t that time changes in the draft law may be expected,

The Tribune has frequently said that -f believes every man who is lit to be a joldier ought to be liable to the draft .1 that all men who are fit ought to

U brought into the service Just as ycipidly as they can be handled. That doctrine is fair to every man and acceptable to all but the Huns.

HOW DO YOU SESt

^?ince our ever growing fleet of merjrot ships means an ever increasing ny of seamen, the importance of difjentlating between those who are jic&gerously color-blind—that is, unHtSe at all times to distinguish between

green—and those who are only

^htly color-blind, is brought out by -y^jrecent study conducted by the touted States public health service. ^•*"he following classes are regarded ^'dangerously color-blind and there-

fore to be excluded from positions in which thajr would be required to read colored signal lights: Those who are able to see but three or less colors in the spectrum (the normal person* sees six or seven) those who see more than three colors in the spectrum, but who htive the red end so shortened as to prevent the recognition of a ivd light at a distance of two miles and those with a central scotoma, that Is, a blind or partially blind area ia the field of vision, for red and green.

Another feature of the investigation

the study of the prevalence of color blindness.-^ Excluding those able to distinguish five, colors in the spectrum, it was found that color blindness occurs in about 8.G per cent of men end 2.2 per cent of women. Color blindness of a degree dangerous in occupations requiring the recognition of color signal lights was found to occur in about 3.1 of men and 0.7 per cent of women.

The examinations were made as a part of other studies of the effect of illumination on vision, conducted aa a part of an Illumination survey of the federal department buildings In Washington, D. C.

THE ARCH TRICKSTER.

A dispatch to the Tribune from Amsterdam yesterday said that the German papers were reporting food riots in Germany in places where there never had been any riots, so far as reliable correspondents were able to find out. The idea was to make the outside world, the allies especially^ believe that Germany is torn inside. jLord Robert Cecil, the British per^ liamentary secretary for foreign,affairs, suggests that there may not be as much truth in reports of popular unrest and impending famine in Austria as appears on their face. He points to' the fact that the "reptile press" of Austria-Hungary la- under rigid official control. When they publish reports about riots and bread shortages it is with the consent of the government and perhaps with government approval: There is, therefore, a not unreasonable inference that the gravity of conditions in Austria has been exaggerated few strategic purposes.

On the other hand, it is a fact that when the emperor issued his proclamation to the soldiers on the eve of their drive into Italy he urged them to fight their best and gave as a reason for going to Italy the white bread, new shoes and good red wine to be found there. He said nothing about glory, but based his appeal on something that he knew was near the hearts of his soldiers, and that "something" was better food and clothing.

Perhaps Austrian confessions of hunger were intended more for their effect ih Germany than fof anything they might accomplish in Italy. Germany has little to spare, but there is every reason to believe that the Germans are better fed than the Atis-

Good 64sh American apple uid doughnuts «re two more of our foods that have been transported to Europe with signal success. The Salvation Army is responsible for this touch of home and it is said that American troops win walk miles to get a taste of these delicacies dispensed in a Salvation Army hut.

The invasion of American food in Europe, not only in native state, bnt also in Its completed form, will do much toward strengthening the tie of understanding between nations.

DONT BE MISLED.

If what Secretary Richard Von Kuehlmann now says is true, all the hubbub from the Jankers and the kaiser's "furious" letters tp Von Hertllng have gone to waste. The foreign secretary says he did not say that German victory could not be won by force of arms and would have to be won in a political way. Quite to the contrary, he maintains in a second speech that the victory tn Tranoemnst be like the victory in Rnasia, a subjugation first, with polities coming in afterwards, to catch up the loose ends and make things tidy tor the fatherland.

It makes no great difference to the allies whether he said one thing or the other, so far as what he said was an expression of personal opinion. It Is Hindenburg, and not Kuehlmann, who has the last say. Still It is a lucky thing that Kuehlmann was quoted as admitting the impossibility of a German military victory.

The temperate words put into his mouth brought out all the black vindictiveness of the Junkers. If any i fatuous pacifist frupposed that Kuehl[umnn'a Rurus raised a h^pe that, Un*
