 Tn warning to the English Sovereign he utters the reminder of meetings held in Balmoral Castle with Sazonoff the Russian Minister of Foreign All fairs in 1912 at which there were discussions or the war and the fate of the German merchant marine. If it is true that the German diplomats secured at Petrograd and Mosrow, the time of the overthrow of the Czar, the secrets of the Russian fntrigues with other friendly nations for advantage, 1t is pos sibe that the Prussian Prince is in position to make some disclosures will not sit agreeably on the stomachs mankind in general
 No matter what the results may be, 1t is to the interest of the human to have these dark sec rets of diplomacy ventilated. It w1thstood the ma teral effects war and is surely strong enough to receive without injury the facts concerning the bringing of that mighty struggle.
 Whatever may be the disclosures at which Prince Henry hints they cannot exonerate German mili- tarism, German support of that mitarism for two wrongs have made right and they will be accepted by the Entente Allies with composure.

MIR. FAULKNER'S SUGGESTION TO
 JUNEAU

Mir Faukners suggestion through The Empire that there should be of the spirit of co-opera- ton and tolerance in community life and local de ye]opment in Juneau and Alaska is so sound and was so clearly presented that there is hardly need for further comment. It is really the thing of greatest importance in Juneau. There should De complete union of effort and cooperation on the part of al irrespective of differences in bellets on political, religious -other subjects where the advancement of Juneau, Gastineau Channel and All aska are concerned The disposition to oppose any thing or any solution of problems because of poli- tical personal objection the proposer should be submerged There should be less oaptious criticisms and more constructive suggestion.
 This does not mean that anyone should suppress his remedy for any i'll refuse to offer honest ob- jections to suggested remedies. It does mean, how ever, that has any right to hold back and oppose all things suggested without endeavorng to offer better suggestions, unless he is perfectly tented with conditions they It does mean that should be merely obstructionst. It docs mean that no one can be true to his commun- ity Alaska by trying to make it impossible or a public enterprise public trust to succeed just for the purpose of injuring the standing of some individual group of individuals
 AS MT. Faulkner suggests, the work per formed by Juneaues for two years shows that it is possible for this community and Alaska to accom- plish wonders when all the people united. Let them show the same patriotic spirit in working for Juneau and Alaska that they exhibited in working for their country. and the progress of Juneau and Alaska in the immediate and distant future would startle the world, and make Juneauites and Alaskans the most prosperous and happiest people earth. s@ G g.

Airplane Landing Fields

Seattle Times)
 The necessity of obtaining adequate landing fields for airplanes has been discussed by Seattle for time The question has turned largely on establishment of air mail routes with service to and from Alaska one of the chief considerations.
 Now word from Olympia that the United States Air Service proposes to establish airplane patrol for detection of forest fires in this State. Landing fields necessary, not only in Seattle, but in other Washington cities. Success of the vice depends upon establishment of these fields at strategic points. Makeshifts may do for the time being, but if the service is to be permanent and 100 per cent. efficient the airmen be freed from handicaps which easily be avoided.
 Proposal for airplane fire patrol accentuates what has been said concerning landing fields If Seattle and the State of Washington to keep up with the procession they must get in line. Air plane service is destined to become great economic fac tor in the future It will aid in safeguarding Washingtons wealth of timber; it will time, and therefore money. in many lines of business terprise.
 Seattle and Washington must not wait until the forests burning to think about having hem. Now is he time. Airplane landing fields will be a paying investment. Then why not have them at once?
