One voice-One Resolution.

The country speaks with one voice IN
support OF the president in the step for
the defense OF American commerce which
he has now taken. If there is opposi-
ton, it is silent, and silent because it
knows that it. is not American Even
the "wilfu senators" are coming for.
ward in commentator OF the arming of
the merchant ships and the calling OF
Congress to support the president "in all
matters collateral TO the defense of our
merchant marine" The words which we
have quoted here are issued from the
White House and they indicate that the
step is not taken without due regard
to its logical consequences. And here,
too, the country is fully and heartily
behind the president.
1t amounts to this, that the people
know that the hour has come when the
government of the United States must
take its stand. at whatever cost, for the
maintenance of the rights on the sea
which this people has always regarded
as sacred-for which it has fought be-
fore, and for which, If need be, it will
fight again. The presidents statement,
his call for support, the orders and re-
quests that have now gone forth for the
actual arming of the ships and other
details connected with their dispatch on
their lawful errands, all point to the
conclusion at last that American ship
masters cannot accept German order
to sail TO Europe on a certain lane or
TO certain port, or to dribble their sail
ings in small measure fixed for them
at Berlin.
Never was there a better sign than the
want OF hysteria in the country attitude
and utterance to-day. One voice-yes;
but vote Of calm determination, OF
completest resolution to do whatever has
TO be done. Henceforth We shall hear
little of the rattle and trumpeting OF
preparation; but let us trust that all
that our government and our people can
do to square the performance of their
duty in the present and the future
with their achievements of the past is
being done.
II is we'll that Congress is to meet,
and il will also be we'll if in the mean
time the fullest preparations are made
by the government for what Congress
NAV have to do.-Boston Transcript.

AMUSEMENT NOTES
"Katinka' Coming to Barre Opera House
Monday, March 1o.

Season after season the critics an.
nounce that the last word" in elabor-
ateness of stage settings has been spok-
EN-, and yet the skeptical stage artists,
like an ingenious woman, manage to
speak still another word. Arthur Ham
merstein is one OF the most notorious
offenders against critical Judgment in
this respect, and in "Katinka," which
will be presented at the opera house next
Monday, March 10, he has managed to
say not only one more word but q whole
sentence or even paragraph. His former
productions, "The FREELY" and High
Jinks" were considered, the acme Of ex-
cellence and elaborateness. But 'Katin-
ka" is credited with putting her two pre-
decessors under eclipse.
One reason for this state of affairs is
found in the plot of 'Katinka," which
offers many unusual opportunities to the
scene painter. The play opens in Russia
with wedding feast in a semi-royal
palace. What could Mr.. Hammerstein do
more than display the wealth OF Rus
sian nobleman in all its luxurious mag
nificence? The story then shifts to Old
STEAMBOAT, Turkey, and the scenic ar
lists again exerted themselves to picture
the Oriental richness and quaintness of
q Turkish street with its wealth OF gaily.
colored architecture. Then, in the third
act, comes another climax in the rich
artistry of Viennese cafe, where once,
before the present terrible war, assem-
bled the wealth and beauty of Europe.
In his execution OF these three stage set
Lings, Mr.. Hammerstein has demonstrate
I'd his continued claim to be considered
he foremost of American producers OF
musical plays.-adv

"DUcKING' IN BATTLE.
Little Chance For Dodsing Modern

High Velocity Bullets.
Although under the altered condi-

get, 4 Is still considered bad form" ia
duck when bullets arc whistling or
shells screaming overhead.
This is a survival Of the old Crimean
days, when men were actually punished
for ducking bullets in battle. That the
service tradition was not always strict
ly observed even then, however, is APP
parent from q story told of grizzled
old veteran who on being remonstrat-
ed with by young corporal for indul-
gence In this very practice, replied, ITS
all very well for you, m'lad, but I'm a

each report.
1t Is on record, too, that Napoleon
strongly objected to 1t, and ON one occa-
sion he even went TO the length OF
publicly reprimanding one OF his stan
officers for STOPPING over his horses

heard whistling over his head.
General Gordon, no mean authority,
was Of different opinion, though.
Writing in his journal, he says, For
