Although he had been in failing
health for several months, the negro
leaders condition became serious only
last week while he was in the east. He
then realized the end was near, but
was determined to make the last long
trip south. He had said often: IT
was born in the south, have lived all
my life in the south and expect to die
and be buried in the south"
Accompanied by his wife, his secre-
tary and a physician, DIR. Washington

ITALIANS UNABLE TO
ROUT The AUSTRIANS
Third Battle of Isonzo Results
In Failure to Break Through
Defense.

Berlin, (by wireless to Saville), Nov.
16.-An interview attributed to Gen
eral Borovich, of the Austrian army,
on the Italian front, was given out to-
day as follows by the Overseas News
agency:
II maintain all positions as took
charge Of them, when the war was be-
ginning.
THE third battle CT the Isonzo may
be considered as having definitely ter
minated. which means it was lost by
the Italians. They fought bravely at
times, especially in their vain attempts
to capture the bridgehead at Gorilla.
The Italian artillery threw 34-centf-
meter shells for the first time. Gen
orally speaking. their artillery did good
work. as was demonstrated by the Sc
ries of holes made before our front by
their shells.
While the b~ombardment was on, the
Austro-Hnngarian troops did not move
from their positions. When the artil-
lery ceased firing. the Italian soldiers,
who had been told that the Austrian
and Hungarian soldiers had been
killed, advanced to within a small dis
lance Of our positions. Then we opened
fire. Not one Italian reached our main
trenches who did not fall or retreat"

Children, do you know the story
of the first Thanksgiving day,
Founded by our Pilgrim Fathers
In that time SO far away?
They had given for religion,
Wealth and comfort; yes, and more
Left their homes, friends and kindred
Fol a bleak and barren shore.
On New E%ngland's rugged headlands,
Now where peaceful Plymouth lies,
There they built their rough log cabling
Meath the cold November skies.
And too often cen the bravest
Felt his blood run cold with dread
Lest the wild and savage red man
Burn the roof above his head.
Want and sickness, death and sorrow
Met their eyes on ever hand;
And before the springtime reached them
They a buried half their band.
But their noble, brave endurance
Was not exercised in vain:
Summer brought them brighter pros,
poets,
Ripening seeds and waving grain.
And the patient Pilgrim mothers,
AS the harvest time drew near.
Looked with happy, thankful faces
At the full corn in the ear.
So the governor, william Bradford,
In the %gladness Of his heart,
To praise God for all his mercies,
Set a special day apart.
This was In the autumn. children,
Sixteen hundred twenty-one,
Scarce a yea from when they landed
And the colony begun.
And now, when, in late November
Our Thanksgiving feast is spread,
It's the same time-honored custom
OF the Pilgrims long since dead.

LAUGHTER.

.aEf coIlil Dunn III Liz L llclo lay. r
Laughter is the solution Of life;
laughter is life; laughter daily a
1T possible to go on. There Is only one
delight that is keener thar that Of a
joke. a comment. or a gesture at which
you Spontaneously laugh, and that is
the delight of making other people. a
whole crowd Of people laugh with you.
Making other people laugh is the great
est game in the world-and we are all
playing it. Some OF US are profess
sionals: most Of US are amateurs; that
is all. We all like tears, I suppose. or
we would not shed them so easily. But
what is the good of tears. unless it is to
increase our delight in laughter?
If the tragic spirit is always lowering
over us, always the comic spirit is just
around the corner. For the comic spirit.
which is the spirit Of laughter. is a
rough and ready and every day sorr. 1t
is above US or beneath us-it is OF us.
Laughter is a wind: sadness is a cloud.
The wind of laughter-and nothing else
may dispel the cloud of sadness.
What better job in life could a man
hope for han to be a wind OF laughter?
None. unless to be a gale, a gale OF
laughter blowing aroun the world!
