New Voile Waists at
$1.M

Many different styles in lovely
fresh White Wolfe Waists, splendidly
cut, and trimmed with tucking and
hemstitching. Low collars and long
sleeves. Strictly tailored and fancy
models. Some styles have collars of
checked organdie, edged with lace;
others have solid collars and cuffs of
pink, blue or green; still others have
the popular gypsy ties in light or
dark pink. All of them have just
been opened, and are as fresh and
attractive as the most discriminating
woman wants her waist to be. For
the woman who prefers a colored
waist there are some in soft colored
plaids, others with colored stripes,
both with white collars and cuffs.
They are unusually attractive waists
that you will want to wear with your
spring suit.

preme Union. II that is sustained all Is
sustained. An will profit. Labor, or
ganized and unorganized, will profit.
Capital will profit. Teamwork for war
purposes win be secured IF that Union,
because Of chickering's between capital
and labor, or between organized and un-
organized labor, is injured, then all will
suffer, labor most Of all.
Organized labor is secure in this Its
right to organize is beyond all dispute.
That is firmly and unshakably establish
cd. And it can exercise that right when
ever and wherever occasion warrants.
It is true also that, through organiza-
ton, labor has accomplished much for
its own and for other interests. As by
that means it has obtained better wages,
better working conditions, higher stand
ards of living for those who work with
their hand, it has contributed to the
welfare and Advancement of the country.
This We all know The fact is so con-
spicuous il admits of no challenge.
Hence. nothing is surrendered when
labor at this time considers and decides
matters in their wartime aspects
recognizes war conditions and obiiga-
tions, and strives to meet them. They
will rass. and pass the more quickly and
satisfactorily with labor's help. And
when they have passed, labor can then
resume its operations under the peace
settlement, and will be the stronger in
its position for the war record it has
made.
No patriotic duty devolves upon labor
that does not equally devolve upon cap
ital They arc in the same boat, and,
to pull effectively, must pull together.
This is no time for disputes that go to
the lengths Of strike, with all of
strikes inevitable delays, cross pur-
poses, and bad feeling. Every strike, in
its results, goes beyond the immediate
causes that brought it about. The spirit
spreads; and soon interests are involved
which at the outset had no part or lot
in the trouble, but with opportunity
would have been glad to assist in set
tlement of the dispute.

Unified Street Railways.

A proposal from the stockholders OF
the two local railway systems to the
Public Utilities Commission that the lines
be unified and operated as a single sys-
tenn briags to- the point of possible adop-
ton plans that have been under con.
known as the merger of the two cor
porations. Thus far the proposal is only
tentative. The Washington Railway and
Electric Company, taking the initiative,
declares that more efficient service could
be rendered the public if 'some plan of
cooperation or unified operation could
be effected The Capital Traction Com
pany, responding. agrees to plan for
. conference between representative
committees to the end of devising "a
plan for close cooperation between or a
plan of uni6cation or single manage
ment of both railway properties" This
does not specifically contemplate merger
in the sense of ownership, which would
require legislation. It is at this stage
aimed at cooperative or unified opera
tion, which WI uld require merely the ap-
proval Of the Public Utilities Commits
sion
/. is obvious that conditions as they
now prevail in Washington render some
change inevitable. The service given to
the public is inadequate. Three sugges-
tions have been made to the end of
consolidated management of the lines to
improve the service. One is for the
government to take over the roads, un-
der It's war powers; another is for the
District tc buy them and run them as
. municipal work. and the third is that
just advanced. that the corporations
themselves combine under one man
agement all the lines Of the two systems.
II merger Of operation can be effected
ON terms that viii permit the regula
fion and Improvement Of service, with NO
diminution Of power IN the Public Util-
ities Commission to protect the public
interest, it is to be preferred to either
eovernment operation as a war measure
Or municipal ownership as a permanent
investment. The details of the plan
will, of course, largely determine the
desirability Of consolidation, though in
the present stage merely unified man.
agement and not unified ownership is
proposed. 1t Is gratifying in any case
10 find the owners Of the two companies
themselves proposing consolidation in
the daily operation Of the lines.

new and ample beach stimulates happy

; new and ample beach stimulates happy
thoughts.
Col. G. s. Ridley, engineer officer in
charge of public buildings and grounds,
recently approved plans for the new
bathing beach prepared by Capt. Horace
w. Peaselee, one Of his assistants. The
new beach is to be ON the southeast side
Of the tidal basin between the inlet and
outlet bridges. 1t will be possible to
reach the beach by the cars of the Wash
ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon
line, and by short walk from the cars
of the Washington Railway and Electric
line. Congress appropriated $4,000 for
the establishment Of bathing beach at
the tidal basin, and the new plans have
resulted from that action.
Notwithstanding that Washington is
bounded on two sides by rivers and that
through the District. flow creeks with
an ample volume of water, Washington
has had difficulty in establishing salts
factory open-air public bathing and
swimming places. The plans for the
new beach meet the situation SO far as a
central bathing place is concerned, and
the new institution will mark long
step in advance and one of which the
peopie of the District are duly apprc-
ciative. No doubt other beaches will be
created later. When the park area of
the Eastern branch shall have been de-
veioped there will be strong demand
from the large and growing population
in the eastern section of the city for
a beach in that part of the District.
But before thinking too far into the
future let us be thankful for the bless
ings that are already ours and those
that are very soon to come to us. The
bathing beach is an aquatic public play
ground, where children and adults may
have excellent exercise and where they
may learn and practice the useful and
sometimes life-saving art of swimming.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Resumption of Work

On his return home from Maine Mr..
Roosevelt in an interview said:
"I feel that the trip to Portland bene-
fited me physically. 1 met some mighty
fine people. and said in my address what
I thought should be said. Mayor Peters
of Boston is anxious 1 shall make an
early date for an address in Boston. I
was to have spoken there on the day
went to the hospital As vet have made
no definite speaking engagements. but,
so far as practicable, I shall fulfill the
engagements I was obliged to cancel
when went to the hospital"
The old campaigner was invigorated
by a familiar experience. A friendly
crowd, responsive TO his words, and
cheering repeatedly, braced him physi.
cally. For the time he probably felt
as good as new.
It is likely, however, that word Of
caution will reach the man who hitherto
has not spared himself in times of ac-
tion when duty called and inclination
jumped with duty. Fe will not want to
return to the hospital, and too early
and vigorous resumption of activities
might make that necessary. The family
physician, therefore, will probably glance
at, and maybe revise, his patients ar
rangemeuts for public appearances.
There is a good deal just row to
tempt Mr.. Roosevelt to imprudence. The
third liberty loan campaign is opening
The situation in Europe grows more
complex and acute daily. Public meet
ings in this country are multiplying
War talk takes precedence of all other
talk, and shows increased and increas-
ing liberalization. In Congress and out,
discussion has taken ON a refreshing and
beneficial frankness. There is no invita-
tion to the mere railer; but all attention
is guaranteed the man with message
carrying helpful suggestions.
Into the thick of all this it would be
natural for Mr.. Roosevelt, unless re-
strained, to throw himself. His personal
popularity continues marked. AS a
speaker. and particularly on war mat
ters, he draws" well in all sections. His
record as to preparedness is among the
best. Hence, when he discusses the war
and Americas part in it he commands
the attention due to one who saw ahead,
and strove, though Intellectually, to make
othera see.
Still, though hobb.ed, SO to say-not
permitted to go and come with the rush
and freedom Of other days-Mr. Roose-
welt will find good deal to do, and will
do it in way all his own. Nobody
doubts his earnestness or sincerity in
this business, though some of his over
enthusiastic friends are erring in an at
tempt to give to his activities political
and selfish twist. He deserves to be
judged on his merits and the record and
both are in his favor at this time of
such storm and stress as the country has
never before known

A NEW GOVERNMENT IN SIBERIA

1t is claimed another separate government is to be
established in Siberia with Admiral Kolchak one of its
leaders. He is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese war and,
was head Of the Russian naval commission that visited
the United States last year. The real head Of the new
government is Prince Lvoff, ex-president of the Council
of Ministers of revolutionary Russia. The seat Of the
new government is Pekin, and it is claimed it is only
awaiting assistance from Japan which is promised, to
enter Siberian territory along with them. General
Semenoff is in command of the armies Of the new govern
ment and he will be aided by Admiral Kolchak, who is
raising an army in Siberia. The bClsheviki do not seem
to have any great strength in Siberia although according
to latest reports they are organizing an army of the reds
at Vladivostok. This is largely yllmor for Vladivostok
is q small place and the country tributary to it is sparsely
settled. The material is not there to raise any consider
able army from, none at least that could even attempt to-
offer resistance to the Japs should they conclude to land
forces at that point. Apparently the situation now badly
tangled as to Japan's intervening will be settled more
satisfactorily if the new government is formed and Japan
is asked" to help it. The great objection to landingI
troops at Vladivostok was the appearance it had of at
lacking Russia. With the new government in power this
will be overcome. The bolsheviki have insisted that each
peoples should be granted the right to select their own
form of government, and while they have gone back on
this to a certain extent in dealing with Ukraine, they can
no fault with the Siberians setting up a government
of their own, or at most if they do find fault with it they
cannot help themselves.
