Lingerie Dresses.


White net is being used for lin
gerie dresses this season. The wash
able white net Is selected, and when
the pretty frock il soiied IL may be
sent to the laundry along with whtta
sdimitg and Lawn costumes. These
white net dresses are rather simply
made. with ruffled skirts. or full.
gathered skirts tucked in groups
Shirrings are lovely in net. but they
do not launder very satisfactorily.
Neither do net pleatings. So It Ia
best to use narrow white lace or frill-
ed footing as trimming on bodice
and sleeves
Snap fasteners close such a frock in
visibly, and usually there is q slip OF
accordtan pleated daphne silk. or of
pussy willow taffeta to go under
meath. Such frock may be worn at
a very informal afternoon affair. Or
with handsome sash, tinted pussy will
low and dainty slippers--at a formal
evening affair in summer.

The Empire sincerely believes that there Is no sec ond choice for the American people ct next falls cleo lion f Che welfare of the Nation and Alaska are to be served It believes that the good of the Nation and ae good of tho Territory absolutely demand the reelection of President Wilson and Congress that win support his policies It believes that have made more pro sress as Nation and Territory in things that are really worth while during the three years of Wilson than were made in the two preceding administrations It believes that the present administration Is carrying the Nation and Territory forward at pace that should no, be iuterIered with at this time.
 But in spite of this conviction. see no good that would follow the disruption of the Republican party in Alaska Fractional quarreling politics is disorgan zlnr to business and to development Political parties are not ends in themselves Their only proper place in the general economy of things is for public service The opportunity to serve Is not confined to the party in power minority party has its opportunities to pro mote good government and development However. political party rended by dissentIons and factions can perform no useful office. It only add to the oO stacles that those engaged in developing country and promoting improvement have to overcome.
 The Empire would ike to see all of the political parties that are represented in Alaska organized and working for the advancement of the Territory It would like to see the rank and file of the parties in control of the organizations and those who play the game" reegated to the rear Those who in politics for place. profit or personal power are not working for the Territory They are not leaders in any other phase of life They should not be party leaders Political parties like all other civic organizations. should be de- voted to the common good That is impossible when they are made the playthings of politicians.
 There has been altogether too much personal" politics in Alaska and altogether little participation in politics by those who are really interested In Terri toral development And too often those who are in- terested greatly in Territorial development have paid too much attention the personal side Of politics and M te to the public service side
 For the good Of the Territory Of Alaska let us hope ,hat the Republican party and the Democratic and Oth CT parties when they meet in Territorial conventions win act in such manner to promote the advancement of the Territory. Alaska has too many governmental problems that need solving to frer away time and ergy in personal political quarrels-

Ia Willard Bad Of?

After Jess Willard whipped Jack Johnson he was a popular idol. He might stilI retain that position had he fallen into other hands than Tom Jones. Jones is a typical "get the money" manager. That is all he looks at. and 1t is not surprising that the public is commencing to think less of Jess. The Philadelphia Evening Led ger is not antagonistic to boxers, yet it remarks:
 willard will always be more of less of @ popular idol, but the majority Of fistic fans would like to see Moran beat him, # ony to rid the game of bis managers. Managers Jones and Curley announce that an admission fee is to be charged to see the cham plon train. SO that objectionable per sons will be kept away.

FRANCES GREAT DEFENSE

The German attack on the French lines east Of Paris in the vicinity Of verdun is now third It Is said that 75OOOO German troops are engaged in the attack and probably is not too much to say that no such equipment in cannon and other appliances ever brought into action by an attacking army. Be hind the commanding generals is the accumulated wis dom of thousands of years of warfare and the stirring experiences of nearly 20 months of the greatest armed conflict the world has ever seen The attacking forces are accustomed to victory-hard 1t is true and expensive, but stn victory-gor the German armies gained more battles against Russia and in the Balkan countries in 1915 than the troops of any nation gained in any one year in the worlds history They have dealt staggering blows and they have maintained continuous bombardments for days at time with the heaviest guns that ever were put in the field
 Yet the French lines hold fast with dOggedness that has become characteristic and changed the worlds conception of France Returning blow for blow and gun for gun the French have stood by their positions Their ranks have been torn by death and lasceraton but there has been no nlnching.

CONCESSIONS MEAN MORO THAN CONCESSIONS
fChicago Herald.)

No statement In President Wilson's notable letter to Senator Stone is more justified by experience with the Teuonc powers than that in which he declares that to allow expedency take the place of principle
 the present would inevitably open the door to stfn further concessions.
 Who doubts 1t? As long as we stand upon the bas- is of the accepted rules Of international law and hold them unaterabe during the progress of war we have support to which the most interested belliger- ent obliged pay at least casual respect But once VIC abandon that position and have abandoned not only the particular contention involved but the prlnci pie which underes and has given force to rep resentaton we have made.
 Concessions not of principle have certainly made in plenty. We have shown patience and forbearance which should be rash expect in the of for elgn nation. n the situation reversed and hap pened to be the offender But there time when the furthest limit Of forbearance has been reached when concession means that new era of further and humliating concessions has just begun

wants to Get Back

Pitcher George Johnson, the Indian twirler, who jumped bis contract with the Reds early in the season of 1914, has written to Q friend in Cincinnati, asking if there is any possible chance for him to come back there. Johnson's alibi for jumping was that he thought Manager Herzog did not like Indians. President Hermann has declared him self as opposed to taking back con- tract jumpers, so there is little chance of the chiefs showing in Cincinnati again.
