in which the Democracy Of Ohio anC
Hamilton County found itself last Tues,
day night. the Republican press are wont
to assert that It's members were "dazed.

It has opened its eyes upon a cruel world

personal greed, the latter, to personal

we are at peace with our fellows from
near and far. We have had thrust upon
US the burden of feeding half the world
We are called upon for aims for the suf-
fering, and many of our people have gone
abroad to do what they can to relieve
the distress. So it seems that this year,
more than for many years, we have reas-
on to follow the precedent set down by
our forefathers, and to set aside a day Of
thanksgiving-no a day of rejoicing that
we are better than our forefathers; not
day upon which arrogantly to call at
tention to uor own virtues in compari-
son with the virtues, or the lack Of them,
in others-but aday of real thanksgiving,
when we can lift our faces toward un-
known worlds above us,and to the Maker
of those worlds and this one, and give
thanks for the peace and prosperity with
which we have been blessed.
LAS Chief Executive of the State of
Ohio l do, therefore, proclaim Thursday,
November 26, 1914, as a day of thanks
giving and call upon all citizens Of the
state to observe it as such"

CAPTURE DIXMUDE
after HOT FIGHT
GermansNOw Attempting TO Cross
the River User Dunkirk
Their Objective Point.

Allies Holding Their Ground and Con-
nnIng Enemy's Operations to tho
Right Bank Of the Yser-Anglo.
French Forces Rsoapture Belgian
Town and Push On Up the Coast.
Yprss SILL Held by the British.
Paris, Nov. 12.-The Germans cap
tured Dixmude after a desperate fight
and they followed up their success by
attempting to cross to the left bank
OF the User. Their latest effort, how
ever. was repulsed, according to the
ofncial communiQue, which says that
the allies have held their ground and
have confined the German operations
to the right bank.
The setback at Dixmude was par.
TALLY Offset by an important advance
which the allies have made to the
north Of Nleuport. Strong forces have
recaptured the village of Lombaert-
Eyde and have pushed on a consider
able distance up the coast toward
Weistende, in the direction of Ostend.
In this operation the allies met a
strong counter attack, but in spite Of
II, II is claimed, held their advantage.
The possibility of a fanling move
ment succeeding still exists, for while
the Germans have pressed the line in
Rt Dixmude they have been unable to
make any impression on the allies
movement northward, and are obliged
to keep strong forces on the extreme
Of their right wing to prevent the
French and British from getting be-
hind them with large detachment.
In addition to the reoccupation of
Lombaertzyde, the allies gained sue
cesses to the north of scissors and
to the west of Vailly, on the right
bank Of the Aisne. On the right Of
the battle line they also made prog
ress, defeating a German detachment
at Coincourt, two miles north Of the
forest of Parroy and only a short dis
ance from the border of German Lor-
raine.
The fact that Ypres is held by the
British, in spite of extraordinarily Sc
we're efforts on the part of the Ger
mans, shows that no irreparable ad-
vantage has been lost in this region.
Until the Germans succeed in getting
q firm foothold on the left bank Of the
User their campaign to Dunkirk,
twenty-five miles away on the coast,
can not go forward materially.
The latest reports from the front
say that the fighting is proceeding be-
tween Nieuport and the river Lys with
out cessation, and that the allies con-
tinue TO nullify the German offensive.
The losses on both sides are said to
have been even heavier than on pre-
vious days.
The Germans success in taking
Dixmude, where they claim to have
captured 800 prisoners, and positions
to the west of Langemarck, where,
according to the Berlin report, 1000
prisoners fell into their hands, shows
that the statements, so freely made,
that they have been sending troops
from the west 70 Poland, are without
foundation.
