I'hllipp S. Page of Krookline, Mass., with Kopf, a German Red Cross dog
captured at Soissons. Kopf was trained to carry food and drink to the
wounded Germans In No Mau'a Land and he became a familiar figure to the
Poilus in the front line trenches. In a recent surprise engagement on a Ger
man trench Kopf was fdUntl in h!s 'kennel and made prisoner. Mr. Page, who
has been driving an ambulance on the western front for some time, brought
Kopf over on his return to thlg country.

EMPIRE TALE
WAS FALSE
! Chas E. Davidson was forced to
[ hold open offices today in or&r to
j make room for the many prominent j
citizens who called to congratulate j
him on the success of his appllca
jcatkc for re-appointment in the
face of the opposition of those In
control of the democratic machinery j
I of the territory.
Gen. Davidson, speaking of tJxe
st r<-* printed' in the Empire last
■night, that he had "bended the
j knet" to Chas. A. Sulzer and. "prom-|
ise.' by wire to supporti him fop re*
i °Iect'on in order to secure confirma
tion " stated todayj lie had Borne
tims ago wired both Secretary Lane
and Senator Pittman tbat be expect
ed to vote for tha democratic candi
dat fo, delegate who received the
lend rsement at th® primary, & very
I nro^er way for a democrat to do.
This expression was made after Sul
jzer h?d informed the department
at Washington that "no constructive
, program for Alaska legislation could
j thrive as Davidson was against
■ the democratic party and an open
; su; porter of Wickersham."
j Gen. Davidson says his wire to
; Lanand Pittman branded) this
j statement of Sulzer as absolutely
j false. "I never supported Wicker
sham at any time," said Gem David
son today, "and) I am too good a
I democrat to prostitute my ballot at
any election."
However, Gen. Davidson expressed
himself that he would) continue to
give the public in Alaska the very
;>ee* service possible and keep his
o* icial affairs from offensive dicta
tion from partv bosses or others not
seek'ng efficiency. — Juneau, Dls
