This is Thanksgiving Day. The

declared it by a. proclamation, and the
governors of states have followed his
example. The Cay also hiss place in
the church calendar. In many OF the
churches special services were held,
Thanksgiving sermons preached and
music rendered, but the congregations
we're not commensurate with the occa.
sion. The day WAS originally set apart
as q day of real thanksgiving to the AL
mighty for the manifold blessings snd
gifts bestowed upon bis people, but II
has degenersted into a holiday when
sports OF all kinds, theatres, social gath
erlngs and the like, rave, as rule,
crowded out the real spirit Of thanks
giving 10 order that more attention might
be given worldlg pleasures than religious
thoughts. 5 iii we all have much to be
thankful for, more than We realize, and
It Is well that day be set apart for
thanksgiving even II we do ret teke a6-
vantage OF such sn opportunity to be

withdraws her boycott on Austrian
goods aud methods within six days, dip
lomatic relations between the two conn
tries, as a fret step toward open warfare,

Austria Is watching clUsely the develop
ments in Italy. The stacks on the
Austrian emta'sy 10 Rome and the
burning OF the Austrian flag at ST. Peters
In the l allan kingdom has stirred the
Austrian people even more than the
Turkish.Ssrviau difficulty. Through
her embassy Austria has demanded that
the rioters be severely dfalt with and
that the insult to the Austrian standard
be disavowed. While 1t Is expected tia.
this will be done, the ministry may de-
eide to 20 even farther in demanding
repar1tion. 1t is felt that unless Italy
Is placed squarely on record as not SYM
pathizing with the snti-Austrian feeling
Of the common people, she will later on
give ma .erial help to beth Turkey aud

TOday's Telegraphic News


Sandy Hook, N. j., Nov. 26.-Los-
ing her way in the dense fog that has
held feet Of liners of the hook since
Monday, the steamtr Finance, of the
Pa anna New York line, was cut 10 two
by the White Star line freight steamer
G,orgisc aud sank almost Immediately 8
| mile north of the out point OF Sandy
Hook today. SIe tai on board eighty
passengers and large crew. Lie boats
from al of the stations about Sandy
Hook are at the scene of the wreck, but
1t is not yet known If there was loss OF
hfr, aud this cannot be ascerained until
the life savers return.
The first knowledge OF the collision
came to the observer in the marine tower
here when the fog lifted shortly after ten
o'clock. The Finance was then seen
lying with her decks submerged, and
with her deckhouse partly under water.
Her beats showed above the water. An
chored in the vicinity we're the Georgia.
and the lalk st amer Hesperus, which
bad lowered boate to assist In the work
of rescue.
The New York tarbor inspectors
bost Cerbems, the big ocean tug Her
cules and the tower life beat from the
Sandy Hook station can also be observed
from the shore htadiDg for the scene.
From the shore one man can be OBJ
served sanding on the top Of the deck
house of the Finance Just out OF the
water. The fog is slowly lifting aud the
work of rescuing the survivors will be
comparatively easy.
So far as the ofTic ais Of the line know
there was but one woman, Mrs. NJ. Tai
bot lad htr child, ON board the Finance.
She was returning to join her husband
in t1e car al zone.
Included in the passengers we're many
employees of the Panama Canal Commits
slon who have been in this country on
leave and were going back to work.
A later dispatch says eight lives ere
believed to have been lost in the cCllis-
ion. The France was almost cut in two
and now lies a helpless wreck northeast
OF the Hook, her deck houses, tunnel
and masls all that can be seen above the
ocean. ~
OF the eight persons uuaccounted fer
four we're fret cabin, three second cabin
passengers aud the other the third en-
Qineer of the Finance. The collision
was due to the fog which has blocked
navigation in and about New York har-
Dor since Monday and which held up 9
feet of twenty ocean craft of all
kinds. The names of the missing have
not yet been ascertained.
The passengers on the Finance after
the collision vera terrified as the ship
ta,eened and at once began to sink.
Life bca.s, life RATS, and preservers' rig
we're utilized by the Finance.
The Georgia. had badly smashed
bow, bat her damage is above The water
line.
The Finance is total wreck, and II
is doubtful II much of her cargo can be
saved.
