Nation.
The year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day Of thanks
giving has been rich in blessings to
us as people, but the whole face
Of the world has been darkened by
war. In the midst Of our peace and
| happiness, our thoughts dwelt with
painful disquiet upon the struggles
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 happi-
ness without thinking Of their pitiful
distress.
"Now. therefore, l. Woodrow Viii.
sen, President OF the United States
Of America, do appoint Thursday, the
3Oth Of November, as a day OF Ma
tional Thanksgiving and prayer, and
urge and advise the people to resort
to their several places OF worship on
that day to render thanks to Almighty
God for the blessings Of peace and
unbrokcn prosperity which He has
bestowed upon our beloved country
in such unstintcd measure.
"And | also urge and suggest our
duty, in this our day Of peace and
abundance, to think in deep sym

ror OF war has so pitilessly fallen. and

"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle Of the Nations than
by contributing out Of their abun-

which war has brought in its train.

testimony came from Captain Paul

1t was given in secret, but it became
known through statements outside the

Survivors who would discuss the
matter were agreed lat it was due to
a combination of swift currents, which
carried the tuff off its course and
across the bow of the submarine and
the darkness which was to be the
Deutschland's medium of safety, but
which instead prevented ready obser-
vation of the danger ahead. Captain
