THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Gov. Gates Asks Us to Remember the
Needy and Suffering.

Almighty God has blessed us with
another wear of substantial prosp Gritty
Our educational, agricultural, industrial,
and commercial interests throughout
the state have shown steady and
wholesome progress. The busy stores
and markets, the whirling machinery
of shops and factories, the song of the
harvest machines and the we'll attended
institutions of learning are symbols o.
our intellectual advancement and un-
paralleled economic success.
Above all we, as a nation, have kept
free from entanglements in terrible
war now being waoed in other lands
Yet not unmindful of the ravages of
the great struggle our people have ma
| terially assisted in alieviating the
suffering which necessarily follows
such a conflict In this we have been
blessed, our hearts have been kept
warm with sympathy and persistent
hopefulness of q speedy end Of it eli.
This struggle has brought forcibly To
mind our duty and responsibility TO
mankind, and with it the opportunity
| to become the greatest peaco-Eearing
and truly democratic nation the world
| has ever known. For this opportunity
with all our other and many blessings
we should be thankful.
Therefore, /, Charles Winslow Gates,
governor of the state Of Vermont, do
set apart Thursday. the tuenty-ffth
| day of November, y y. 1915. IS Il day
of public Thanksgiving and urge that
on that day we gather in orr churches
and assemble around our frcsides to
render thanks unto Almighty God for
the many bount;ful gifts that have so
generously been bestowed upon us, and
fervently pray for strength TO meet
the great responsibilities that must
come to MS as lovers of peace and lib
erty.
Let us pray together that the great
war may end, that homes may be re.
stored and loved ones returned to their
families, and that all men may soon
learn to so love their fellowmen, that
they shall, without fear of conflict and
| with assurances of universal peace, east
| aside the sword and forever end war.
Let us remember the needy and suf-
fering III our respective communities,
forgetting not to extend kindness to
the old and guidance to the Young.
and withal lend all our power and in
| fiuence to strengthen Christian charac-
ter and develop strong manhood and
womanhood.

GOING ROUND THE WORLD.
The Gain or Loss of One Whole Day lr
 Making the Trip.

The Gain or Loss of One Whole Day in
 Making the Trip.
 In sailing around the world eastward the days are each a little less than twenty-four hours. according to the speed of the ship. as the sun is met 8 little earlier every morning. These lit. tie differences added together wilt amount to twenty-four hours. This gives the sailors an extra day-not in imagination. but as an actual fact. They will have done an extra day 's work. eaten an extra days ration ot food and enjoyed an extra nights sleep.
 On the other hand. in sailing west ward the sun Is overtaken little each day. and so each day is rather longer than twenty four hours. and clocks and watches are found to be too fast. This also will amount in sailing around the world to the point of departure to one whole day by which the reckoning has fallen in arrears. The eastern bound ship. then. has gained day. and the western bound ship has last one.
 This strange fact, clearly worked out leads to the apparent paradox that the first named ship has a gain of two whole days over the latter. if we sup pose them to have departed from port and returned together. - Westminster Gazette.

BRITISH W|THORAW.e! g :: :;::. <: FROM PENINSULA A J.
Have Suffered Tremendous Losses But Were Unable to Advance
 Against the Turkish Forces.

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-It is officially admitted by the British war office that the British troops have been withdrawn from Sulva Anzac on the Gallipoli peninsula, where they have met with heavy losses but have been unable to advance against the Turk ish troops.
 The withdrawal of the troops from |Sulva Anzac is believed to be the |opening movement for the abandon ment of the Gallipoli peninsula cam- paign which will result in releasing more than one-fourth million Turk ish troops which have been defend ing the peninsula.
 It is known that Lord Kitchener, who recently returned from the Dar- Idanelles, advised the withdrawal of the Allies troops from the peninsula in order that an aggressive campaign might be waged against Bulgaria from Saloniki.

MAxIM'S MACHINE GUN.

A Terrible Enyine of Death Which
 Works Automatically.
 Early in life Hiram Maxim showes himself Il marvellous genius as an b9' ventor. An incident of his boyhood. in which the recOil of rifle attracted hta attention to an apparent loss of pow- CT. led him in 1SS1-2 to utilize the force of the recoil to good account in gun which lOuds itself automatically and fires at the rate of TO shots a minute by tue power of the previously wasted force.
 The Maxim machine gun is an en- zine of terrible destruction. This gun has only single barrel. which. when the shot is fired. recoils the distance o, three-QIurters of an inch on the other parts of the gun. This recoil sets nov ing the machinery which automaticai- ly keeps up continuous fire at the ex- traOrdinary rate of twelve rounds u second.
 Each recoil of the barrel has there. fore to perform the necessary functions of extracting and ejecting the empty cartridge. of bringing up the next full one and placing it in it's proper posi- tion in the barrel. of cooking the ham, mer and pulling the trigger.
 AS long as the firing continues these functions are repeated round after round in rapid succession. The barre! Is provided with q water jacket to pre- vent excessive heating.-Philadelphia Press

JUDGE BEN LINDSAY
 |S DISCOURAGED. Hostility Shown to Ford Exped1tion by European Nations Dampens
 ArtlOr of the Party.

CHRISTIANA, Norway, Dec. 2O.-- Henry Ford, with his American peace expedition, is meeting with an apparently hostile reception and many of, the delegates are urging that the plan be abandoned. The various Norwegian societies have refused to cooperate with him officially but have extended the delegation the usu- al courtesies accorded strangers.
 Judge Ben Lindsay, who is report ed to have led the fight against the Ford resolutions condemning Presi- dent Wilson's National defense pro- gram, is said to have expressed re- gret that he was induced to join the party. He is advising that the expe- dition be abandoned.
 Ford declares that he was subject ed to ridicule before leaving the Uni ted States and was prepared for hos tility on the part of the European government. He says he is not disap. pointed as he does not intend to op- crate through the governments in ad- vancing his plans to call the soldiers from the trenches.
 Since his arrival here he has been the recipient of hundreds of letters condemning his efforts to restore peace in Europe. Other letters have been received threatening his life and that of his co-workers if they at tempted to invade the countries at war.
