Wilson Speaks Aboard Dread
naught and Says That United
States is Getting to Know
Southern Countries.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Mar. 30.-Pres't
Wilson sent all presidents kiting to-
day when he broke hard and fast
rule that no president Of the United
States shall leave American soil, and
was the guest Of honor on the new Ar
gentine dreadnaught Moreno, under
the Argentine flag.
Pres't Wilson was accompanied by
Sec'y of the Navy Daniels and a party
OF aides. He arrived in Annapolis
roads shortly after noon and iinmedi-
ately went aboard the Moreno where
a luncheon was given in his honor by
the Argentine ambassador, DR.. Rou-
mulo $. Naon
AS the president neared the Moreno
the entire crew manned the rail and
he was ''piped over the side" while the
men stood at attention. The battle
ships band played the Star SpanSled
Banner and the presidents pennant
was run up.
Presidents Address.
PreS't Wilson said in part:
Mr.. Ambassador and Gentlemen:
1T is with great pleasure that find
myself in this interesting company
and in this interesting place. There
has obtained custom OF the United
States which seemed to amount almost
TO superstition that the president of
the United States should not leave its
territory. / do not know whether that
was out Of distrust of the president or
out of the precautiOn for the country
whether there was fear that he
would not behave himself outside of
his own Jurisdiction or whether it was
thought he was absolutely necessary
10 the country and its administration.
| shall try on this occasion at any rate
TO relieve the country of the fear of
his misbehavior
II am particularly glad that this
great vessel which have so much adj
mired should represent some part of
the reciprocity and connection be-
tween the United States Of America
and the great republic Of Argentine.
We have been more glad TO be instru-
mental in supplying you with this
great arm of war because we are so
sure that neither of us will ever use
an arm against the other. L feel that
am speaking the sentiments of my
fellow countrymen when I say that
there is a growing wormth of affection
as well as understanding for the other
countries of the great American hem
isphere which we are coming daily to

Old ks,'''s',;si NE RACE
Setting Aside a Period for
Thanksgiving Is a Custom
Of Remote Antiquity.

n HE idea is prevalent in the Unit
ed States that our Thanksgiving
is peculiarly an American custom
Of New England origin. This is true
in part only. The general observance
through many years Of set day on
which to give thanks to Almighty GOD
for his blessings has made the custom
dlstinctively Americana but its origin
long antedates the settlement of the
western continent, and we must look
elsewhere for 1t. The idea of Thanks
giving day goes back to remotest an
ttquity. 1t is a part of natural religion,
and is probably as old as the human
race. In written records, we have
ample evidence that the festival was
celebrated in connection with 'the
fruits Of the earth" by the ancient
Egyptians, the Jews, the Greeks anc
the Romans. Long before Luther's
revolt from Rome in the sixteenth cen.
tury It had been observed by the
Christians; and after the Reformation,
Thanksgiving days were in frequent
use by the Protestants. especially
those Of England.
The festival appears early in Jewish
history and, as 1t was connected with
the land and its possession, may have
had Canaanitish prototype. Its cele'
bration was annual, and each festival
continued through seven days. At the
beginning two vessels of silver were
carried in a ceremonious manner to
the temple, one full of water, the other
of wine, which we're poured at the foot
Of the altar of burnt offerings, always
on the seventh day of the festival
Plutarch describes this ceremonial
which he believed was a feast Of Bac
chus. He says: THE Jews celebrate
two feasts of Bacchus. In the midst
of the vintage they spread tables
spread with all manner Of fruits, ant
live in tabernacles made especially o.
palms and ivy together, -. A few
days later they kept another festiva
which was openly dedicated to Bac
chus. for they carried boughs of palmi
in their hands, with which they wen
into the temple, the Levites going be
fore with instruments of music"
Analogous to the Jewish festiva
and possibly borrowed from it wa
that OF the old Greeks, the ThesmoT
phia. This was a feast to DemeteT
the goddess of the harvest. 1t laste'
nine days and consisted of sacrifices
Of the products of the soil with obla
tions of wine. milk and honey" The
ocritus refers to 1t in the "SeventI
ldyll," where Simichidas says: Now
this is our way to the Thalysia; 70
our friends, in sooth. are making
feast to Demeter of the beautifu
robe, offering the fret fruits of thei
abundance, since for them in bour
teous manner, the goddess has pile
the threshing floor with barley"

Tor the possession OF system of gov

NATION HAS BEEN BLEs ssED
Multitude Of Reasons Why This Year
Gratitude Should Be Widespread
and FerVent.

1t is one of the frailties of human
nature that when all is going well with
us we are apt to be thankless. But
when peril is imminent, when danger
or death threatens our loved ones, how
quickly and instinctively prayer rises
to the lips and how grateful the
heart returns thanks when the crisis
is passed. So in other years Thanks
giving has been too frequently ap-
preached with a thoughtless spirit as
differing no whit from the years that
have gone. Not so today when com
mon impulse ascribes a tangible cause
for thankfulness that, alone among
the great nations, we have been spared
the horror or the menace Of the world
war, that we have been chosen as the
custodians of civilization, the one
hope of despairing nations for return
to sanity and peace.
For it is not alone that death and
destruction have passed US by, but
that, under Providence and out of his
bounty, we have been enabled to miti-
gate the suffering of the wounded, to
succor the starving and help the help
less. More than this. too, that. as we
have kept the light of liberty flaming
for the emancipation of man kind from
ancient thralls, today we are priv
ileged to keep alive the vestal fires on
the altar Of peace. Thus honored
above all peoples, held from harm
blessed with natures abundance. and
constituted the guardians and ex
ponents of progress amid an almost
world-engulfing tide of reaction, we
are thrice blessed and should be thrice
thankful.
