Things to Be Thankful Fer.


The sentiment of gratitude is one
that there is small risk of finding too
much in evidence. It is not possible
to grow from childhood to manhood
Or womanhood without implicit de-
pendence upon others, without in
curing obligations and running deep
ly into debt-first of all to the God
who made us, then to our parents who
safeguarded our helpless infancy, then
to the friends who assisted US on our
way. It is impossible for us to make
adequate repayment or return for all
these benefits. What has been done
for us in our creation and our sus-
tenance, in all the generous provision
of love and of sympathy that sur
rounds us, is beyond reckoning or
valuation-it is without money and
without price. But we may at least
from time to time express our graft
tude to the Giver of all good gifts. We
may occasionally voice our thankful.
ness that we are alive and that our
plain duty lies before us, and that
there is useful work to Occupy our
hearts and souls and senses. Above
all, there is the great gift of love-the
love that transfigures life and makes
1t worth while to keep on trying to
puzzle out the riddle of existence-the
love that fills the universe and, &C
cording to Dante, moves the SUI. and
the other ars."-Philadelphia Ledg

English Harvest Homes.

II the Plymouth festival has imme-
diate kinship with similar events in
the past, 1t has analogies with the Har-
vest Home of England, which may re-
late them. The Pilgrims were famil-
lar with the English celebration, and
many of them, no doubt, had partici-
pated In it. The dominant mark of
each was the JOY over the ingathering
harvest. In some districts in England,
too, the festival had continued a week.
Richard Carew, in his Survey Of Corn
WE'LL" In speaking of the English fes-
tival, says: Neither doth good cheers
wholly expire Though 1t somewhat de-
creases), but with the end OF the
weeke."

People of Switzerland Devout in
Their Gratitude for Har-
vest Blessings.
EDNA p. HAlLORAN.

THANKSGIVING in Switzerland Is
i movable feast, coming at the end
OF the harvest season, and usually
falling on Sunday in the middle Of
October The country is at the height
of its beauty in this month, the
chrysanthemums are in full bloom in
every garden, the terraced vineyards
are showing autumn colors, and there
Is golden haze over the rugged noun
tains. A feeling of peace and plenty
prevails; the harvest is garnered, the
wine Is made, and the people of this
thrifty little country are grateful for
the earth's bounties.
1t may not be entirely according to
our ideas of artistic decorating to
have the interior of the churches on
Thanksgiving Sunday resemble a mar
ket place, but nevertheless the right
spirit Is at bottom. In place of flow
ers. strings Of apples are festooned
from arch to arch, clusters of grapes
adorn available corners, the altar and
pulpit are banked with every kind of
vegetable, carrots, turnips and even
cabbages being used. Song prayers
are offered in gratitude and thanksgiv-
ing for the good harvest and lengthy
sermon is delivered appropriate to the
occasion. The sun outside is warm
and the air inside is heavy, laden with
strong odor of the Marche. At the
end of the last hymn one hastens glad
ly into the open.
| The Sabbath stiffness of the after
noon is broken by the blare of brass
band. A long procession winds it's way
about the narrow streets, followed by
crowd of men, women and children,
for the Swiss people have the love OF
small boy for a parade, and they in.
dulge themselves in their fancy on
every possible occasion. On this day
the procession goes from church to
church, stopping in front of each one
while the band plays few selections
The crowd is not particularly atten
tive, but it makes up for that lack In
good humor. Small groups stand about
the church square, talking and laugh
ing, until the last number is finished
and then take up their position In the
rear of the cortege and follow it or
to the next church.
Thus the day wears on, in gratitude
for the bounties of nature. A strangt
Thanksgiving and q simple one com
pared to our historic holiday and oul
elaborate manner of celebrating 1t, blu
beneath the surface runs the SAM
undercurrent of sincere gratitude.

EXPORTS SKATER RECORD.
October Figures Set New High Water
Mark for Any U. s. Port.


New York.-The greatest volume of
exports ever recorded at single port
in the history of the United States
left New York harbor during October,
mostly for the warning nations of Eu-
rope according to estimates made
Tuesday by customs officials here.
The total, based on tabulations that
are nearly complete, will not fall short
of 100000, or about 100000 a
day for every week day of the month.
In September exports from New York
totaled $162,O00,000
Three hundred and ninety-three
ships, nearly every one laden with a
capacity cargo, left New York during
October as compared with 365 in Sep
TENDER. The tabulation shows that mu-
nitions and foodstuffs mostly grain,
filled the list of articles shipped
abroad, with clothing, shoes, cloth for
uniforms, automobiles and automobile
parts following in close order The
bulk of the exports went to Great
Britain.

EMORY J. HAYNES.

~ I'D you ever see the sun rise out

hours the dawn of Thanksgiving
day has been feeling its way westward
across the sea before it breaks on
America. Half a league onward.
the gray light creeps over the I'M

new faint light cohorts of outriders
are scouting ahead of the monarch sun.
They are seeking the coast of Maine,
feeling for the Cape of Hatteras. For
this is to be great day in America.

over the Atlantic spaces, one would

tent with you alone, nor with you

But the sun rs no god. A day is
merely stretch of hours. There is a
Maker of the sun who trains it to be
but the servant Of his children. There
is an All-Seeing Eye which views us at
our grateful offices. Let US try to
think Of it that way. Then the day
has meaning.
Thinking of it all in that way, what
a sublime day it is. A whole youth
full nation with uplift hands and merry
hearts. This nation has been, at

CHURCH|LL'S STORY
ALARMS ENGLAND.
BLAMES KITCHENER AND FISHER
FOR FAILURE AT ANTWERP, IN
PACIFIC AND DARDANELLEs.
HOUSE OF COMMONS SPEECH
Declares Every Move Was Blocked by
Expert Advice, and That Situation
in East Demanded Quick Action
Wanted to Send Troops.

London.-Winston Spencer Church
i'll, who has been the most severely
criticized member of the government,
and who has been held personally re-
sponsible for the loss of Rear Admiral
Sir Christopher Cradock's fleet in the
Pacific, the destruction by submarines
of the British cruisers Cressy, Hogue
and Aboukir. the ill-fated Antwerp ex-
petition, and the initiation of the ma
val attack on the Dardanelles, deliv
cred a speech in his own defense in
the house of commons Monday, follow
ing the resignation of his post in the
cabinet.
Was Blocked by Experts.
II won't have it said," was his dra-
matte assertion, referring to the OAR
danelles attack, that this was
civilian plan foisted by political am
ateur upon reluctant officers and ex-
perts."
This sums up his reply to all critics.
In every case he showed that experts
had counseled and concurred before
any of the expeditions which had been
condemned were undertaken, and it
was clear before he had gone far that
the house Of commons sympathized
with him.
For months Mr.. Churchill has lived
under reproaches; his entrance to the
house Monday passed almost unno-
ticed. AS he rose his supporters gave
him encouraging cheers. Appreciation
increased in volume as he answered
one charge after another, and he con-
cluded amid hurricane of applause,
while members of all political parties
crossed the house to congratulate him.
Condemns Lord Fisher.
There was nothing apologize about
the speech of the former first lord of
the admiralty, who some months ago
was transferred to the chancellorship
of the duchy of Lancaster, the office
he has just resigned. His reference to
Admiral Lord Fisher, the former first
sea lord, who, he said, had not openly
opposed the Dardanelles undertaking,
were spoken in firm tones of condem-
nation.
n In the opinion of the house Mr.
Shurchill has fully justified every step
he had taken while head of the ad-
miralty.
AS to the dispatch of Rear Admiral
Cradock's squadron, he said he was in
full agreement with the experts and
advisers of that time-Admiral Prince
Louis of Battenberg and Vice Admiral
Sir Frederick Sturdee-and that the
| dispositions were the best that could
: be made in the circumstances.
There was no truth in the charge
that he had ordered, against the ad-
vice of experts, the Hogue, Cressy and
Aboukir to remain at sea, where they
we're sunk by German submarines. The
Antwerp expedition originated with
Lord Kitchener, the secretary for war,
and the French government, while the
naval attack on the Dardanelles was
: deliberately considered and had the full
support of the advisers at home and
those on the spot
