The ancient burial grounds standing close to each village contain the bones of men who. helped to lay the foundation of the American nation and whose de- scendants are to be found In every part of the country. Some of their headstones contain inscriptions that throw an interesting light on the con- ditions of life that these pioneer Amer jeans had to contend with. For fn- stance. in the long-unused cemetery of the First Parish Society of East ham on the summit of bare hill
 strewn with glacial boulders and swept by the salt winds which blow in from the Atlantic on one side and Cape Cod on the other, there is small, weath er-worn slate slab which marks
 inc resting place of Major John Free
 man. who died in 1850 at the ripe age of 98. Beside 1t is another stone, that of Mercy, his wife, daughter Of Gov ernor Prince, one of the first rulers

 The Indians on Cape Cod were. as
 general rule. peacefully inclined and
 dwelt among their white neighbors in
 friendly intercourse. But those against
 whom Major John and the lieutenant
 his son, went forth to battle in the
 service which earned for them their military titles, were of another breed

 It was hard life that these early
 Americans led fighting the peris of the
 deep during the greater part of the year and combating the wies of hostile sav-
 ages and the hardships of pioneer life in
 the period while they were ashore. No doubt these conditions contributed to the development of the familiar traits of Yankee character. Trading around the
 world matching his wits against the
 triclxiest dealers in all the ports of all the seven seas made him shrewd bar
 gainer, while the severe conditions sur
 rounding his life ashore forced him to be industrious. frugal and persevering It
 was hard schooling but good one for
 a people whose task was to be the turn ing of wilderness into an industrial en- pire.

THANKSGIVING IS
 OLD INHERITANCE Comes Down from the
 Yankee
  CAPE COD INHERITANCE First Proclamation Issued 2s7 Years Ago By Governor Bradford of Mas sachusetts colony-Typical
 Yankee Disappearing.
lP6 COD INHERITANCE

Boston, November 2S-CSpecial )-A1- though probably few people interrupt their appreciation of turkey and cranberry sauce to think about it, Thanksgiving Day Is the oldest as well as in many re- spects the most typical of American holi- days It is in fact 2S7 years old, it's ob- servance dating from the time when the Pilgrims a year after their landing from the Mayflower, held a thanksgiving ser vice for their first harvest in the new country. It was Governor Bradford who officially established the autumnal day of thanks which has been observed near the end of November ever since that time. Thus Thanksgiving is more than cen tury and g. half older than Independence Day, and ante-dates even further than this our other holidays, most of which are of comparatively recent creation. Thanksgiving is so firmly established among the red letter days of the Amer icaa calendar that there is very little pros peet that it will ever lose its place. AL though the method of it's observance has changed greatly in two centuries and halt and football has taken the place of church-going, it still retains it's New England characteristics as a day of fam fly reunions, and it still brings thousands of people from other parts of the coun- try to visit their old homes in these northeastern states.

Unless radical measures are enacted

sorted to, declares Major General +. c.

nual report.
Notwithstanding the most strenuous
efforts on the part of the War Depart
ment and the recruiting officers" says
General Ainsworth, sit has been found
impossible wholly to make good the
losses, to say nothing of increasing the
enlisted strength to the authorized linn

will be nothing for the government to
do but meet this competition by mate,
rally increasing the soldiers pay OF
to eyade competition altogether by q
resort to conscription."
Never before has such a suggestion
come from an officer clothed with the
authority to make recommendations
The idea of compulsory enrolment OF
individuals for the military service has
been held abhorreDt to republican prin
clples and the absence of such a Law
is one of the most forceful arguments
used in attracting desirable immlgra

Officials of the War Department an
ticipate that the possible necessity fol
such action outlined by General Aims

consideration by Congress of the In
crease of pay bill. 1t is with the great
est reluctance that army officers enter
tain the thought of conscription, but
generally they agree with General
