A Proclamation.
1t has long been the custom of
our people to turn in the fruitful
autumn of the year in praise and
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
I His many blessings and mercies
|. to US and the nation.
The year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day Of
Thanksgiving has been rich in
, blessings to us as a people, but
! the whole face of the world has
been darkened by war In the
midst of our peace and happiness
our thoughts dwell with painful
d1squiet upon the struggle and
sufferings of the nations at war
and of the peoples upon whom
war has brought disaster without
choice or possibility of escape on
their part We cannot think of
our own happiness without think
ing Of their pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United
States of America, do appoint
Thursday, the both of November,
as day of national Thanksgiving
and prayer and urge and advise
the people to resort to their sew
: eral places of worship on that day
to render thanks to Almighty God
for the blessings Of peace and I'M
broken prosperity which He has
bestowed upon our beloved coun-
try in such unstinted measure
And I also urge and suggest our
duty in this our day of peace and
abundance 10 think in deep SYM
pathy of the stricken peoples of
the world upon whom the curse
and terror of war has so pitliessly
fallen and to contribute out of
our abundant means to the relief
of their sufferings
Our people could in no better
way show their real attitude to-
y ward the present struggle of the
4 nations than by contributing out
of their abundance to the relief
of the suffering which war has
brought in it's train
In witness hereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.

Prominent Russian women.

From time immemorial Russian
women have taken an active part in
the social and political affairs of their
country. Not only have they played a
conspicuous role in revolutionary
movements, education, labor questions
and charity work, but they have fig
ured prominently in art, science, d.
plonlacy and court intrigues, Ivan
Narodny writes In the New York Sun.

Tragedy of Gal1ipoI F;asco

were simply overwhelmed In the shall
low trenches by sheer weight OF num-
bers. while the Wiltshires. who were
! caught out in the open, were literally
almost annihilated."
1.-THE ponderous mass of the enemy
swpt over the crest and swarmei
round the Hampshires and General
Baldwin's brigade had to give ground
and were only extricated with great
difficulty and very heavy losses.
Nov it was our turn. The warships
and the New Zealand and Australian
artillery, an Indian mountain artillery
brigade and the Sixty-ninth brigade,
royal field artillery were getting the
chance of lifetime. AS successive
solid lines of Turks topped the crest
of the ridge, gaps were torn thru their
formation and an iron rain fell on them
as they tried to reform in the gullies.
Foe Pays Dearly Elsewhere.
Not here only did the Turks pay
dearly for the recapture Of the vital
crest. Enemy re-enforcements con-
tinued to move up under heavy and
accurate fire from our guns. Still they
kept topping the ridges and pouring
down the western slopes of Chunnuk
thing they had lost.
But once they were over the crest
they became exposed not only to the
full blast of the guns, naval and mill
tary, but a battery of ten New Zealand
! machine guns, which played upon their
serried ranks at close range until their
barrels were red hot.
Enormous losses yere inflicted, and
of the swarms which had once fairly
crossed the crest line only handful
ever struggled back to their own side
of Chunnuk Bair. ...#
AT the same time strong forces Of
the enemy were hurled against the
spurs to the northeast, where there
arose a conflict so deadly that 1t may
be considered the climax Of four days
! fighting for the ridge.
| Portions of our line were pierced
and the troops were driven completely
down the hill. At the foot of the hill
the men who were supervising the
transport of food and water were rail-
lied by Staff Captain Street. Unhesi-
tatingly they plunged again into the
midst of that series Of struggles In
which generals fought in the ranks and
men dropped their scientific weapons
and caught one another by the throat.
British Call on Deity.
| 1.-THE Turks came on again ana
again. Fighting magnificiently and
calling upon the name Of God. our men
stood to it and maintained by many
deed of daring the old traditions OF their
race. There was no flinching: they
died in the ranks where they stood.
Here Generals Cayley. Baldwin and
| Cooper and all their gallant men
achieved great glory. On this bloody
field fell Brigadier General Baldwin,
who earned his first laurels at Caesars
camp at Ladysmith. There, too. fell
Brigadier General Cooper, badly
wounded. .-... ..r.. ..-..-.-
Toward this supreme struggle the
absolute last two battalions from the
general reserve were now hurried, but
by 10 in the morning the effort of the
enemy was spent. Soon their shat
tered remnants began to trickle back,
leaving a track of corpses behind them.

wounded, no live Turk was left upon

pointments and heroism of the British.
the fanatical bravery of the Turks. flat
disagreement over the withdrawal from
the upper positions on Gallipoli penin-
sula between General Ian Hamilton and
Lord Kitchener-all are told in a re-
port OF General Sir Ian Hamilton, dis
closed to the worlds view in the OFF,
cial Gazette.
Despite his recall, General Hamilton
tells of the bravery of his troops and
the efforts Great Britain is making In
the face of a storm Of criticism. He
ascribes failure of the campaign at
| Amaze Cove and SALIVA Bay to the fact
that the allied forces there consisted
largely OF untried troops under gen.
erals inexperienced in the new war
fare and partly thru the failure of the
water supply. The sufferings of the
| troops for lack of water make painful
reading.
Why Expedition Failed.
The Sulva Bay landing failed to ac-
complish its object, the report shows
partly because of untried troops under
generals experienced in the new war
fare and partly thru the failure of the
| water supply. The sufferings of the
/ troops for lack of water make painful
reading.
General Hamilton bestows the high
est possible praise upon the bravery of
| the men. He believes that after the
middle of August the Turks outnum-
bered the British and had plenty of
! fresh soldiers and munitions, while the
British government was unable to fur
nish him with the re-enforcements he
wanted. Fee.
Criticises Withdrawal.
The general strongly opposed the
! abandonment of any of the bases held
| by the British troops. Concerning his
retirement General Hamilton reports:
"On Oct. II your lordship Carl Kit
chener) cabled, asking me for an esti-
mate of the losses which would be in
volved in the evacuation of the PENN
sula. I replied in terms showing that
such a step was to me unthinkable. On
| Oct. 16 I received a cable recalling me
to London for the reason, as I was in
formed by your lordship on my arrival
that his majesty's government desired
fresh, unbiased opinion from a respon-
sible commander upon the question OF
early evacuation"
Landing Is Described.
The most stirring passages of the
document describe the Inflated landing
at Suvla Bay and Anzac early in Aug
ust for securing command Of the
heights on the middle of the PENN
sula and cutting off from their base
the Turkish forces at the lower ex-
tremity, where the entente allied ar
mics made their first landing.
This operation began on Aug. 6, the
report says. The climax was reached
at daybreak on the 10th, when the
Turks made a grand attack from the
summit of Chunnuk Bair Hill upon a
short front held by two battalions OF
the Sixth North Lancashire and the
Fifth Wiltshire regiments, which Gen
eral Hamilton describes as weakened
in numbers tho not in spirit.

and friends were entertained by
the Clovis Elks Lodge Saturday
and Sunday. Most of the visit
ors left Tucumcari after 2 o'clock
coming via Raglan canyon and
arrived here about seven o'clock
making a run of 81 miles. A
few minor accidents occurred to
the party such as blow outs and
punctures and one of the party
fractured his nose when he
butted the top of the car in
passing over a rough place in
the road. Another driver who
is not a member of the order,
accidentally ran into a horse
breaking its leg. He was ar.
rested upon reaching Clovis, but
subsequently released. A dance
was given at the Elks Auditorium
in honor of the visitors Saturday
evening until IL o'clock and
after that time a luncheon was
rendered at the Elks Home.
Both were largely attended and
the seating capacity of the build
ings taxed to the limit. The
music was par excellence, the
floor was good and there were
hundreds of graceful dancers.
The Elks teams played a game
of ball Sunday afternoon which
was called in the sixth inning
because of a dust storm. The
score then stood A to in favor
of the Clovis team.
