WILL THANK ALL,

Thanksgiving Day, 1914, is past
There is to be another Thanksgiv-
ing day in the near future.
In the year 1921 a little band of
Pilgrims, who lived in and around
Plymouth, had toiled for months with
their crops. In the early spring,
with their handmade instruments,
and unlimited faith, this brave little
band went forth, broke the soil and
planted therein the life-giving seeds
of comfort and happiness. Their
fondest dreams were realized when,
in late fall, through their efforts and
faith, they harvested a bountiful sup
ply of body-nourishing and life
sustaining foods. On the day when
their crops had been harvested, this
little band, with hearts full OF love
and thanksgiving gathered in their
different places OF worship and gave

THE advance was triumphant at
all points, says Professor Pares,

ward and westward. Some were
pressed against the Carpathians, at
point where there are only two
difficult passes, that hardly admit
passage of artillery and field trains
Other were pressed back on Cracow,
where the line of Russian advance
is now complete.
THE Russian impact on Cracow
promises the first settlement of the
destiny of western Galicia, where the
population is Polish, and very ready
to respond to the appeal of the Grand
Duke Nicholas, commander in chief
of the Russian forces. The next gap
IS being made between the Aus
trians and Germans, who already are
retiring in mutual dissatisfaction in
different directions, and whose politl-
cal interests must more and more diff
ferentiate.
"a further advance through this
gap will be on Slavonic territory in
southern Silesia up to the river
Niesse. This territory is mainly Po-
iish and Bohemian, and the Czechs
in general are largely friendly to
Russia and quite hostile to Germany.
The Germans are doing all that
is possible to make diversions on
their sides. Stopped and driven back
near Miawa (seventy- five miles north
west of Warsaw( they have made
serious effort on both sides of the
Vistula near Plock, but have been
decisively repulsed, the inhabitants
giving effective aid in bridging the
river. They are now attempting to
force strong wedge into the Rus
sian front between the Vistula and
the Warta rivers, but so far the Rus
sian line is everywhere continuous
and reinforced wherever necessary
with strong reserves, and has sue
cessfully outhanked every local Ger
man advance.
Meanwhile, a double Russian ad-
vance in east Prussia on the east and
south is overcoming numerous OBJ
stacles and making rapid progress,
avoiding and enveloping the thickest
fortified lines of the Mazurian lake.

Carranza in Vera Cruz.

Vera Cruz, Nov. 27.-General Ven
ustiano Carranza reached here Thurs
day from Cordoba. His arrival
brought thousands of enthusiastic
citizens into the streets and when
he spoke from the balcony of the
municipal palace, he was greeted
with loud cheers. Thursday he will
take up his official duties and from
this city as his temporary capital.
will direct the campaign against
Generals villa and Zapata.
The occupation of Mexico City by
the forces OF General Zapata and
the apparent understanding that has
been reached between this southern
leader and General Villa appear to
be pleasing rather than otherwise to
General Carranzas supporters here,
who it is supposed reflect Carranza's
opinion in this respect
In general, the plan now will be
to besiege Zapata and Villa, cutting
every railroad and starving them
into surrender if possible, but fore
ing their capitulation at that point
in any way which may become nee
essary.

Statement of Churchill.

Mr.. Churchill, speaking in the house
of commons, concerning the disaster,
said:
"The loss of the ship does not SEN
sbly affect our military position, but
| regret the loss of life which was
very heavy Only twelve men were
saved. All the officers and the rest of
the crew which | suppose amounted
to between 700 and 500, perished."
The force of the explosion was so
great that houses >in Sheerness and
even in South End, seven miles away,
and on the other side of the Midway,
were shaken violently. The people
fled into the streets in alarm. Dense
clouds of smoke and flame shot into
the air. The vessel disappeared be-
meath the water in three minutes.

cate themselves from a position very
unfavorable to them. The Germans,
on the other hand, claim they have
inflicted heavy losses on the Russians
between LODI and Lowicz
The military authorities in Petro-
grad. assuming that the unofficial
reports of victory are true, ex-
press astonishment that the Germans
should have attacked LODI, for they
say defeat there was inevitable. The
Germans who advanced from the
north and south, these military OBJ
servers add, doubtless intended to
seize the railway between Skiern-
iewice and Piotrkow and Interrupt
communication between the northern
and southern Russian armies, but
Grand Duke Nicholas, with the enor-
nous number of men at his command,
was able to sandwich them and di-
rect his attacks from all points eX-
cept due west. The reported failure
of the German crown princes army
to advance on the Cracow- Gems
tochwa front is considered by these
military critics as contributing to the
checking of the Germans.
1t is said in Petrograd that one if
not two German corps are almost
completely enveloped and that they
are making a desperate effort to
fight their way out to the north.
Already large number of prisoners
are reported to have passed through
Warsaw. This is considered in Lon
don to confirm the unofficial reports
and the statement of Lord Kitchener
in the house of lords today that the
reinforced Russian troops in this
neighborhood have been able to
check and defeat the Germans with,
| believe, heavier losses than they
ever sustained before"
