WHITE SATIN FAVORED
 FOR EVENING

White satin Is still in favor for evening dresses. A charming gown of this description is made of white satin, trimmed with panels of shadow lace. The bodice has vest of silver trimming, and the elbow sleeves are made of the shadow lace.
 Lighter materials, such as net and lace, are more summary looking, and are therefore in vogue with women who prefer cool looking dinner gowns An attractive semi gown worn by young girl is made of white silk covered with net of the same color. The skirt has an overskirt made in points giving an apron effect in front, and the overskirt is trimmed with the fashionable silk cording. The bodice ia cut with Dutch neck and has shfrring, finished with ruffle at the bodice. The elbow sleeves are cut with the full sleeve at the elbow.
 Another lovely net is in white over pink. The skirt is heavily embroid- cred with tiny pink, white and blue beads, hand-sewed and worked into a fancy pattern. The square neck is also ornamented with the same trim ming. The sleeves are fanlike and reach the elbow. The bodice is at- tached tae skirt with a belt of the trimming, while a pink satin sash falls in long steamers behind.

 Does The Courant regard the Citizens party soury be- it did nominate Messrs Perry, Heay and Wilson?

Joseph Chamberlain, in a magnificent speech, asked: What is the greatest of our common obligations? Is 1t de- fense. What is the greatest of our common interests? It Is imperial trade" and he ended his eloquent ad- dress by quoting the verse of Thomas Macfarlano of Ottawa, who, with Jehu Matthews of The Toronto Mails was one of the staunchest pioneers of the interimperial preferential tradef 'ITnite the Empire-make 1t stand
 compact. Shoulder to shoulder let
 it's members feel
 The touch of British Brotherhooda and
 Act as one great nation strong and
 True as steel"
 In the 22 years that have passed since that speech was made the pro- cess of imperial union has been at work. The Chamberlain idea has been pushed a. long way toward real iznt.cn. the silent forces being busy between :ariff reform campaigns be- tween meetings of the empire Cham Der of Commerce and between meet ings of the colonial or imperial con- ferences. The discussion of the ques- ton of closer union of the countries under the British flag and in legtsla- lures, and the intraempire relations went on shaping themselves toward the unity MT. Chamberlain had in mind Now we have the ImPerior War Cabinet, which Sir Robert Bor- den is attending in London.-Toronto Mail and Empire.

"AF'TER THE EVENT. CRAFTSMANSHIP

TREACHERy OF HUN OFFICER ON
 BATTLEFIELD

With the American Army in Field, Oct. 10-(Correspondence of the As sociated Press)-An instance of cowardly tfeachery on the part of captured German officer who had been wounded and who had been offered help by an American officer is told by Lieutenant Edward Nichols, of Ja- mafca, N. Y.
 After the last big drive of the Al lies in August, Lieutenant Nichols was placed in charge of a company of soldiers whose task 1t was to clear the field of American dead and wounded. Although his duties did not require him to aid the German wounded on the field until the Americans were dis posed of, Lieutenant Nichols, who is only 2S years old, went to the assist ance of a German infantry officer who seemed more than any of his comrades to be in need of succor
 The lieutenant was in the act of un- fastening his canteen and giving the wounded man drink of water when the German drew a revolver while the unsuspecting Americans face was turned, and aimed it at the head of his rescuer.
 Before he could pull the trigger. however, a quick-witted American sergeant plunged his bayonet through the Germans heart. The Germans act was condemned even by his cap- tured comrades.

was opened in London, and, from an imperial preference point of view, 1t might well be considered a notable event. Then and there it was that Mr. .sHofmeyr expounded a scheme, ad- vocated by the Cape delegates as "the feasibility of promoting a closer union between the various parts of the Brit ish Empire by means of an imperial tariff of customs, to be levied inde- pendently of the duties payable under existing tariffs, on goods entering the empire from abroad, the revenue de- rived from such tariff to be devoted to the general defense of the empire" It was not long before the trade end of imperial federation began to re- ceive some attention in Canada, and on March 24, 1888, at league meet ing held in Toronto, 1t was adopted: That the Imperial Federation League of Canada make 1t one of the objects of its organization to advocate a trade policy between Great Britain and her colonies by means of which a dis crimination in the exchange of nat ural and manufactured products shall be made in favor of one another and against Iore1Sn hatlons, ana that the substance of this resolution be brought before the Dominion Parlia- ment for its consideration at an early date."
 The whole question, however. was focused by a master hand, and brought back to the forefront of prac- tical politics, when, at Canada Club

THE ORPHAN WHO
 BECAME EMPRESS

Irene. Empress of Constantinople, was left an orphan in early child hood, She suffered want until one day her beauty attracted the attention of Leo w., Emperor, who married her. They lived happily for short time, but Leo, finding that his young wife was attracted to image worship, of which the Greek church disapprov- ed. banished her from the land. On the death of Leo, in 780, she return ed to ConstantinopIe and assisted her son in ruling his domains until, over come by her selfish desires, she de- posed the boy king, who was only ten years old, caused his eyes to be put out, and ruled alone. She made a proposal of marriage to Sharlemagne, then Emperor of the West. This she did in order to preserve her Italian dominions from conquest by him. Tho marriage treaty was actually cons cluded, when a conspiracy ended it's consummation. Irene died in a nun-j nery in SOP.

ENTIRE ENERGY
 OF COUNTRY ON
 WESTERN FRONT

The United States has taken the po- sition that it's entire energies must be concentrated on the western front. But the sudden and dramatic surren- der of Bulgaria has opened wide pos abilities in ether fields for hastening the end of the war. It ought not to take 8 large force completely to upset the frame upGthat Germany has pre- pared on her southeastern boundaries
 The Allied force now proceeding northward ought soon to be able to set free Serbia, an act that will give enormous encoura cement to all the oppressed nationalities held for many years under the Austrian yoke. It should be possible to form an army of the Czecho-Slovaks and other Slavic nationalities of Austria, and at least by early spring to invade Austria from the south.
 The Italian invasion of Austria has been tremendously difficult, because it had to cross the most precipitous mountain ranges An invasion from Serbia, once that country has been re- occupied, would cross level plains and find easy going. Austria ought to be out of the war before next July Fourth.
 Already reports of Turkeys sur render are in the air, and may be con- f1rmed before these lines reach the reader. But the Turks are a very ob- stinate and crafty people and it may take more fighting yet to put them out of business. But with her Palestine army wiped out, and if the road to Berlin can shortly be cut, an army the size of the force around Salonica ought to take Constantinople and cut off the Dardanelles forts With the straits open to the Black Sea, it be- comes possible to reach the most populous section of Russia by ports free from ice and thus encourage all the anti-German elements Great events cast their shadows before, and the door is wide open to very hopeful military projects in the East.

INTERINrPERIAL TRADE.
Closer Union to Be Established Be-
 tween England and Her Colonies.

Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, and Walter Long, Colonial Secretary, have made it clear that the Imperial government has at last ac- cepted the principle of interimperial preferential trade, but that it will not be carried out until after the war. It may, therefore, not be without in- terest to review the evolution of this interimperial preferential trade matter since the time when the Imperial Fed eration League came into existence 1n the motherland under the presidency of the Right Hon. W. E. Foster M F., on July 29, 1884. The object of the league was to secure by federation the permanent unity of the empire. The basis demanded that no scheme should interfere with the existing rights of local Parliaments as regards local affirs, that it should combine on an equitable basis the resources Of the empire for the maintenance of common interests, and adequately provide for an organized defense of common rights.
 In the following year, on May g., 1885, a Canadian branch was formed at Montreal with Dalton Mccarthy. M. F., as president In 1887, an March 19, the first Colinal Conference
