MUCH FOR WHICH
TO BE THANKFUL

The formal day Of Thanksgiving is
still weeks away. But every day should
be Thanksgiving Day in nation so
blessed as our. Surely the powers
above seem to have singled US out as
the special beneficiaries Of their great
bounty and loving-kindness, says a
contemporary which draws the follow
ing contrasts:
Europe: Between fifteen and twenty
million men in arms to slaughter one
another and pull down opposing gov
ernments; two or three million killed
OF manned; millions of households in
mourning; the skies blackened and
the earth shaken by the continual roar
of artillery; the vast army of the des-
titute constantly increasing; national
resources strained almost to the snap
ping point to maintain the gigantic
competition in destruction; horror and
anxiety on the threshold of each morn
ing and as the gloomy watchers
through each night; great areas torn
and devastated and nature halted and
paralyzed in her normal work of con-
struetion; the hearts of untold null
titudes failing them for fear of what
is still to come.
The United States: Between fifteen
and twenty million men working to-
gether to upbuild their country and to
promote the reign of law; no clouds in
our heavens but the smoke of industry;
no conflict but civic battles for
ideals and no contests but peaceful
contest for the improvement of gov
eminent and of the conditions of life;
no problem but the problem of in
creasing happiness and prosperity; no
wasted fields and desolated homes,
but fruitful partnership between
man and nature which has produced
this year and last such crops as grow
only in the peaceful gardens of the
Lord; and hope and strength and JUS
tice giving beauty to our days and
confidence and calm to our nights.

PERILS TO
AUTOMOBILES

Fortunately. so far, Alexandria
automebilists have rot been victims
of serious automobile accidents, but
they are of daily occurrence N many
sections OF the country, and such dis
asters are likely to occur here.
The lamentable automobile acct
dert near Mumford, n Y, by which
three young persons lost their lives
md five others were injured, IS one
of the sharp reminder that the modern
ligh-powered horseless vehicle is not
child's toy; that it has high poten-
tial energy for evil when operated oy
an inexperienced driver.
In the first application for pat
ent on an automobile energlzed by an
internal combustion engine. made IN
:, northern city. it was accurately de-
sigrated as q road locomotive. IN this
respect it has not changed its nature.

driven by girls, some of whom are N
their early teens, and boys who are
lot yet in the high school. From the
very nature Of things these children
cannot have the technical knowledge
of motor machinery which is neces-
sary for the safe operation of an
automobile. It is unreasonable to ex-
pect that they will emulate the eau
ton and poise of an experienced rail
road locomotive engineer. Yet more
caution poise, and experience are
necessary in the fast driving Of a
high-power touring car then IN the
mere mechanical management Of the
locomotive of a fast express train.
For the latter tends to remain on its
firm steel rails, while the natural
tendency Of the motor car is to go
upon the urban sidewalks,
and to rush to the fields and along
the countryside highways.

TOTTERING
MONARCHIES.

The father of the present Kaiser
is quoted as saying that there might
be no such position as king for his
grandchildren. The wave Of republl-
canism is spreading all the time, and
those who now occupy thrones are
naturally apprehensive.
Revolution is rumbing beneath
more than one throne, even though
the reverberations of approaching
doom may not be distinctly heard.
The most astonishing sign of this
condition is the well-accredited story
that comes from England. In a pas
sionate scene with Premier Asquith
at Buckingham Palace, King George
is said to have laid down the fiat
that, rather than consent to an in
conclusive peace, he would abdicate
the throne and not consent to its
occupancy by any of his children
Such peace, he declared, would mean
for England defeat and would create
a condition intolerable for the ma
ton.
The Baltimore American in con-
nection says:
The recent speeches of Lloyd George
and Winston Churchill, in which
they limited that conclusive war
could only be fought out through
policy of CONSUMPTION, seems to have
been taken by the monarch as sign
of England consenting to a draw IN
the war that it processes to be pre-
pared to fight to the finish. The d.
vision in the cabinet over conscrlp-
ton thus has illuminating aspects.
It appears that back OF the opposi-
ton TO the plan of forced army serv-
ice lies the sentiment not given pub
Lefty but strong nevertheless, fol-
England to save it its men and means
as much as possible and to be pre-
pared to make the most of a peace
that should be undecisive.
King George is said to have de-
clared with vehemence that a king
in such q crisis of his country should
be a leader and not a dummy. Thus
the recruiting question has shaken
Ehe throne itself and the present
dynasty may pass in the throes Of
the problem that is dividing the
country. Thus is revolution, peace
full or violent, indicated for England,
unless the cabinet can come to agree
ment. The passing Of King George
and his family would be followed
by the setting up of republic.
How many other thrones are totter-
ing in the great cataciysm of the war,
only some crystallizing issue as in
the case of England. will determine.
Whether the story of the English
Kings declaration of independence Of
his counselors is or is not authentic,
It at least indicates that the war has
taken hold upon the very foundations
of British society and is shaking
them Nightly.
