Show association in particular.
Officers OF that organization have

subscriptions amounting to more
than $500 are already In the hands
OF the secretary. Mr.. Vanderbilt

THANKSGIVING PR0CL AVIATION
POINTS TO PEACE or nation

nancial resources have enabled us to
steady the markets Of the world and
facilitate necessary movement of
commerce which the war might other
wise have rendered impossible; and
our people have come more and more
to sober realization Of the part they
have been called upon to play in a
time when all the world is shaken by
unparalleled distresses and disasters.
National Consciousness
The extraordinary circumstances of
such q time have done much to quick
en- our national consciousness and
deepen and confirm our confidence in
the principles of peace and freedom by
which. we have always sought to be
guided. Out Of darkness and perplexi-
ties have come firmer counsels of pol
icy and clearer perceptions of the es-
sential welfare Of the nation. We have
prospered while other peoples were
at war. but our prosperity has been
vouchsafed us, we believe, only that
We might the better perform the func-
tions which war rendered it impossible
for them to perform.
A Day Of Thanksgiving d..
Now. therefore, I, Woodrow Will
son. President Of the United States Of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day. the 26th Of November next, as a
day Of thanksgiving and prayer, and
invite the people throughout the land
to cease from their wonted occupations
and in their several homes and places
Of worship render thanks to Almighty
God.
I'm witness whereof / have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal of
