Observance of the now recognized
day was in the beginning desultory,
that is, not simultaneous and it was
not general and synthetic, really, I'M
til 1864, when the first Presidential
proclamation was issued by Lincoln
for day of thanksgiving because of
the apparent approaching of the end
of the Civil War. Naturally the day
was not observed by the second
States, but now it has come to be
recognized in nearly all of the States,
though in many of them it is not a
statutory holiday. 1t is not, and
never was, a national holiday by leg
islative enactment.
Just when the turkey flew in as
one of the most imperative accom-
paniments of the Thanksgiving table
is not worth mentioning, as it is an
incident so vague. That fowl, with
mince or pumpkin pie as part of
the desert of the time-honored dinner
of the day, has long years come to
be so we'll recognized that it has been
urged as the only logical bird for
blazoning on the national escutcheon,
the eagle having become mighty
"skase," and having been much
missed both in this and other coun-
tries.

remembered by elderly people who
were children then, the Donati comet
suddenly blazed across the heavens,
and for months was one of the most
beautiful of spectacles, but, to the
superstitious, fear and direful. When
the nucleus was low in the northwest
in the early evening the "tail" domi-
mated all other celestial phenomena,
flowing far past the zenith. The
presage of great Civil war to come
was in the air and to those who were
in the least superstitious the comet
was a sign of calamity near at hand.
The freeze of the following June
clinched the premonition, and in the
fall of the year of the frost there
was quite generally observed day
of fasting and prayer.
1t was this sort of recognition of
the omnipotence of Deity, solemn and
profound and utterly sincere, which
in the earlier days of the nation gave
foundation to the origin of the days
of thanksgiving for the good things
of human existence, and when they
were not as good as they might have
been, then they were no worse than
they were.
Then the whole custom of setting
apart for giving thanks to the AL
mighty grew gradually into that
present beautiful intermingling of
religious services, reunion of families
and friends, feasting and general re-
joicing, even if the times were pro-
tentious of adversely for some of the

In reply to criticism of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association in connec-
ton with his declaration that many
national banks charge usurious in
terest rates, John SHELTON Williams,
Controller of the Currency, issued a
statement giving instances of such
practices. Several Kentucky banks
were included in list of 1900 in
forty-one States which as recently as
September were charging IL per cent
or more interest ON loans.

Thanksgiving Old As the Race.

The idea is prevalent in the United
States that our Thanksgiving is pc
culiarly an American custom of New
England origin. The general OBJ
servance thru many years of set
day on which to give thanks to AL
mighty God for his blessings has
made the custom distinctively
American; but it's origin long ante
dates the settlement of the Western
continent, and we must look else
where for it. The idea of Thanks
giving day goes back to remotest an
tiquity. 1t has part of natural re-
ligion, and is probably as old as the
human race. In written records we
have ample evidence that the festi-
val was celebrated in connection with
"the fruits of the earth" by the an
cient Egyptians, the Jews, the Greeks
and the Romans. Long before
Luther's revolt from Rome in the
sixteenth century it had been OBJ
served by the Christians; and after
the Reformation, Thanksgiving days
were in frequent use by the Protest
ants; especially those of England.
The festival appears early in Jew
ish history, and, as it was connected
with the land and it's possession, may
have had a Canaanitish prototype.
Its celebration was annual, and each
festival continued thru seven days.
At the beginning 'two vessels of
silver were carried in ceremonious
manner to the temple, one full of wa
ter, the other of wine, which were
poured at the foot of the altar of
burnt offerings, always on the sew
enth day of the festival" Plutarch
describes this ceremonial, which he
believed was feast of Bacchus. He
says: "The Jews celebrate two feasts
of Bacchus. In the midst of the vim
tage they spread tables, spread with
all manner of fruits, and live in tab
ernacles made especially of palms and
ivy together. A few days
later they kept another festival
which was openly dedicated to Bac-
chus, for they carried boughs of
palms in their hands, with which
they went into the temple, the Levi
ties going before with instruments of
music
Analogous to the Jewish festival
and possibly borrowed from it was
that of the old Greeks, the Thesmor-
phia. This was feast to Demeter,
the goddess of the harvest. It lasted
nine days and consisted of sacrifices
of the products of the soil with abba
lions of "wine, milk and honey. 1.-THE

however, that Great Britain and
France are arranging concerted meas
ures to follow upon the injury done to
Greek shipping
The visit of the four leading states
men OF the British government to
Paris, accompanied by their naval,
military and diplomatic advisors, I'M
questionably has been caused princi-
pally by developments in the Balkans.
By what means however, further pres
sure can be exerted on Greece by the
Paris conferees, 1t is difficult to see.
The work before the allied statesmen
is to find a substitute influence for
that which would be exerted at Ath-
ems by victorious Anglo-French
army operating In Serbia and Bull
garia.
Only comparatively small bodies OF
allied troops are in the Balkans Their
operations have been trivial and the
future outlook cannot be Immediately
reassuring since the allies are now
trying to obtain COnstantine's consent
to a retreat into Greek territory. Neu-
tral nations, actuated wholly by self
interest, do not frequently put their
trust in retreating armies. The work
of the Paris conference therefore will
be particularly difficult.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1S.-Action by
Great Britain and France In holding
up Greek shipping in their ports, is
the most serious Balkan develop
ment that has occurred since Bull
garia's declaration OF war. 1t is either
an application of force by the allies,
to influence Greek public opinion, or
it is a preliminary defensive measure,
due to belief that King Con stantine
intends to enter the war upon the
side of the Teutons.
In principle the Joint embargo Of
the two western nations is the same
as declaration of war against
Greece. It will not be so considered
by the Greek government, however,
unless Constantine has definitely re-
solved to throw In his lot with that
of his imperial German brother-in-

Constantine more stubborn in his linn
