The Trend of the Times.

The afternoon promenadcrs on F
street received a shock yesterday
when a buglc in clear tones sounded
the assembly call. The paraders
paused, and gazed at the location of
the sound. A new recruiting station
had been opened right in the heart of
their fashion lane and around its
doors stood half a dozen stalwart
young men in olive drab uniforms.
At another time they would have
seemed so out of place there, but not
yesterday. The atmosphere was sur
charged with patriotism and the ex-
ponents of our armed forces were
looked upon with reverence by those
who strolled along the street. The
street which is generally credited as
being the stamping ground of idlers,
in the metamorphosis brought about
by the crisis which faces the nation,
welcomed the newcomers in uniform.
And the change on F street is but
typical of the feeling which pervades
the entire country today. Patriotism
in its most superlative form char
acterizes both the thoughts and ac-
tions of the American people. There
is no room today for the pacifst and
his ignoble doctrines of peace at any
price. The country has awakened
to the call to arms. as does the in
dividual who rolls his sleeves to re-
sent personal insult.
And as we release the shackles of
the inertia which has blinded our Wis
ions to the issue which has confront
ed us for many months, Americans
feel a>real sense of relief.
Washington which will probably
feel the stress of what confronts the
country, more than any other local
ity, will not be found wanting in
these times when the support Of

The spirit of the Puritan
fathers and the signers of the
Declaration of independence still
lives.

specting people of our United
States of freedom and liberty are
with him to a man.
President Wilson, no matter
what his critics may have said
before, takes his place in history
beside. Washington and Lincoln.
Our Presidents address to
Congress last night, now and in
years to come, will rank with the
patriotic utterances of Patrick
Henry. Thomas Jefferson and
George Washington. 1t will go
down in history as did Lincoln's S
second inaugural address. Lin
coins Gettysburg speech and as
Cicero's denunciation Of Cataline
in the Roman Senate.
We have not always agreed
with all of the Presidents poll
cies; we may not in the future.
! No one.' however opposite in
general political belief. can today
withhold from our President the
full measure of credit and justice
due him for the courage and
strength of his utterances last
night.
This is not the first time we
have thrown off the shackles of
oppression and insult. The old
Spirit of '7o reigns today in the
breast Of every patriotic citizen
of every age; we have marked
time long enough; we have
brooked insolence, insults and
tyranny, honestly striving and
hoping against hope to escape
war and still save our self re-
spect.
Our patience has been exhaust
ed. We have been slow to ac-
ton. We have vainly sought
way out. but now our armor is
buckled on. our swords are drawn,
and with such a determination of
purpose and unison of just feel
ing that only a successful termi-
nation of this horrible. bloody.
selfish, mspeakable war. con-
ceived and instigated by the
Kaiser and his group of military
despots. will satisfy us.
/ We enter this war not for
aggrandizement. not to gain more
power or territory. but TO vindi-
cate the principles of peace and
justice from selfish and auto
cratic power and to set up
amongst the really free and self
governed peoples of the world
such a concert of purpose and
of action as will henceforth in
sure the observance of those
principles"
Again we strike for liberty.
Again we shall break the chains
of injustice.
Again we shoulder arms for
the oppressed. for the principles
of true democracy!

But one result Victory for the
Just, Oblivion for the Tyrant!

For any woman, child. or man.
