Readers Of this column know what the
attitude Of The Times has been toward
war.
The attitude of The Times toward war
has not changed.
A man in an elevator would not be in
favor of the elevator falling, but if it fell
he would have 70 go with it.
And being compelled to go with it, it
would be encumbered upon him to APP
prove, and to make the best of il.
The Times would approve as readily of
tuberculosis, or any other plague. as il
would of war, and the comparison is
made because both are generally the re-
suit Of conditions for which the real vic
TINS are least to blame.
Both are from a germ and both are
continued on for the impairment and
weakening Of succeeding generations.
But we are at war.
Congress will declare a STATE Of war.
but it will mean, MUST mean, WAR.
There can be no turning back.
OUR COUNTRY is now the thing.
It's preservation is up to those who
have enjoyed its privileges and it is the
psychological time for those who cannot
call to mind those privileges. 10 get out
Of it and on the side to which they be-
long.
It's preservation now means fight as
Americans know how 10 fight and as
Americans fight when they fight.
The elevator has fallen.
We no longer deal with A theory but
with condition and a fact, and it is a
condition which no man faces as an in
div:dual-he faces it with his country
and faces with it the real test Of his
patriotism.
The country needs men.
The country needs money
u should have both
1t WILL have both.
Let US say at this hour with Stephen
Decatur, as our toast, too, 10 the flag
that gave us freedom. and which offers
freedom now To all the enslayed world
under autocratic rule:
My Country! May it ever be right
but right or wrong. my country

The president Of the United States

Congress will do as the president has

This is fateful hour in our history.
1t calls for great sacrifices.
II calls for the blood of the country
sons: for their legs and arms, and eyes;
for it's fortunes; for the tears Of It's wo-
men; for the happiness of its firesides.
II calls for the abandonment of tondly
cherished traditions and the fundamen-
tsl principles of government that have
kdpt us by ourselves, free people, de-
voted to distinctive purposes as people.
II calls for the very tearing down of
the foundations of freedom as We know
e and as we have enjoyed it, for their re-
building on a underworld scale-for
underworld peace. Such is the purpose OF
the president of the United States who
kept Us out of the war until Germany
made it impossible for him TO keep US
ont of war any longer.
This the bloodletting leaders of Ger
many did by the wanton killing Of Amer
lean citizens and by plotting to engage
Jspan and Mexico in war against the
United States-by carrying knife UNI
DIR q cloak of pretended friendliness.
The rebuilding plans are an invitation
70 the bruised and battered and starving
psople of Germany to follow the lead Of
Russia and to strike for freedom from
Gnslsxement under the autoeratic power
thsy have served with remarkable tidel-
ity and pityful faithfulness.
We are called upon to relinquish our
Independence of foreign alliances and
freedom from foreign entanglenents ad-
vised against by George Washington, the
father of our country, but we do 1t in
the same unselish spirit that actuated
the colonists and only for an extension OF
the great principles indelibly written in
the blood that was shed at Bunker Hill
and at Gettysburg.
We strike for the democracy that will
cover and free the nations of the globe
That is what the certain response by
congress to President Wilson, in the
adoption of the course he outlines, will
mean.
Congress viii follow the presidents
lead, and the country will follow his
lead, because of the positive conviction
that Woodrow Wilson is responding with
Incoln's sadness in his heart, that he is
doing his duty.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1917-04-04

impulses Of their president in the posi-
ton he has taken for the country.
| There will be those convinced of their
own patriotism, who feel that the presi-
dent has recommended going further
than we should
There will be those who will feel that
10 have met the issue of ruthless sub
marine warfare would have been suffi-
Gent and more in keeping with Ameri-
can policies and pretenses.
There will be found those who will re-
gret what they will be likely to look upon
as an abandonment Of program for de-
Tense for program of aggression.
There will be those who viii urge that
the manner in which we enter smacks
somewhat Of autocracy itself and that
the democratic way would have been to
make sure Of the will of the people thru
the referendum.
There will be found those who will dis
agree with the president in his recon-
mendation of immediate conscription.
These will have in mind the suggestion
Of ex-President Taft that the time for
consumption is now, when the people
are in the mood for it"
There will be found those firmly con-
WINGED in their own minds that TO yield
completely TO the demands of the coun-
try's utra-militarists will saddle upon us
a state and spirit as nation which
might unfit us entirely for the very lead
ership for democracy which We assume.
The Times would find itself agreed
with many Of these in their position. but
it suggests to them that the hour has
arrived when there is no longer chance
or reason TO hope for an immediate reali-
cation Of those things upon which they
have set their hearts and, in many in
stances, to which they have consecrated
their lives.
If there remains hope at all, it lies in
the single possibility that the German
people may read the message and the in
vitation to them in the words of the
president and in his reasons for wanting
the participation of the United States in
the war, and act upon them before we
find ourselves with sword dripping red.
But the chances of that message ever
reaching the German people are few.
The Times suggests to those who have
made the fight for peace that it now be-
comes their duty to put their faith and
their confidence in Woodrow Wilson.
the President Of the United States, and
THEIR country, AND TO STAND BY
HIM.

This kind of ornate touch on skirt
gave the dressmakers a chance to re-
lieve the severity OF satin and chiffon
without putting on gcgaws that were
not IN keeping with the hour or the
costume. The front panel became the
background for skillful needlework. On
IT has been worked out, in the peasant
or medieval fashion, bold design in
bullion or colored crystals, in order
20 carry out the effect OF an apron worn
by peasant on holiday.
Some OF these panels are made OF
heavy silk or satin and are stiffly en-
CruSted with bullion threads catching up
the. colored crystals in complex de
sign others are OF soft satin. lavishly
Sprinkled with jet beads and buglcs in
