THANKSGIVING DAY
Presidents Proclamation Urges
People To Remember and
Help Nations Afflicted
BY War.
copvright.,

Washington. President Wilson
formally, by proclamation, designated
Thursday, November 80, as Thanks
giving Day.
The proclamation follows:
1.-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 dwell with painful dis
quiet upon the struggles and sufferings
Of the nations at war and Of the peo-
pies upon whom war has brought dis
aster without choice or possibility of
escape on their part. We cannot think
Of our own happiness without thinking
of their pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do appoint Thursday, the
3Oth of November, as day of nation
al 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 unbroken
prosperity which He has bestowed
upon our beloved country in such I'M
stinted measure.
"And also urge and suggest our
duty in this our day of peace and
abundance to think in deep sympathy
of the stricken peoples of the world
upon whom the curse and terror of
war has so pitilessly fallen and to con-
tribute out of our abundant means to
the relief of their sufferings.
Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude toward the
present struggle of the nations than
by contributing out of their abundance
to the relief of, the suffering which
war has brought in its train"

TO PRESS UNIVERSAL TRAINING.
Effort Will BE Made To Pass Cham
berlain or Similar Bill.

Washington.-It is already certain
that the advocates of national military
preparedness will bring all possible
pressure to bear upon Congress at the
coming session for the passage of the
Chamberlain bill or similar measure
providing for universal military train
ing in this country.
This measure is regarded as the
next step in the national defense pro-
gram enacted at the session that ad-
journed in September 1t has been in
dorsed by nonpartisan interests in
practically every State in the Union.
The National Security League is con-
centrating all its resources behind the
Chamberlain bill. The campaign or
ganized by this organization and those
associated with it will be as vigorous
as that conducted year ago for a
larger standing army.

DIPLOMATIC CORPS
TO Be SHAKEN UP
Ornamental Enjoys to Give Way
to Trained Men.
PRESIDENT WILSON'S PLANS
Affairs Of This Government At For
eign Capitals Now Require Skill
ful HandIine-significant Re-
mark Of the President.

Washington.-In accordance with
custom in the diplomatic service, all
American ambassadors and ministers
abroad are expected to resign as
sequence to President Wilson's re-
election and succession to new term
of Office.
Many of them were appointed orig
inally without special knowledge on
their part of the peculiar requirements
of their posts. Some had no intention
of remaining abroad more than one
term of four years. In other cases
some who expected to make even
shorter stays abroad, have from force
Of circumstances, especially the exig-
encies of the present war, continued
at their posts only to meet the wishes
of the State Department.
Foreign policies will engross large
part of President Wilson's attention
in the immediate future to an extent
never contemplated when he first as
sumed Office. 1t is regarded as essen
tial that in the development of the
larger plans of the administration in
foreign intercourse the President
should have specially selected ambas-
sailors and ministers to meet the de-
mands in each case.
Fortunately the practice which has
become general in the American diplo-
matte service since President Roose-
welt frankly requested the designations
of all of the ambassadors and minis
tiers, will afford President Wilson the
necessary opportunity to carry out
plans he has projected. involving a
very considerable reorganization for
the diplomatic service so far as the
heads are concerned.
That a considerable number of the
incumbents will be asked to remain
in office is a certainty, but some do
not wish to remain and some have
proved unequal to the heavy require
ments of their stations, 1t is said that
in the course of one of his informal
talks to newspaper men some time
ago President Wilson had precisely
this situation in the diplomatic serv-
| ice in mind when he remarked: Some
men grow in Office and others swell
up."

thinking them dead, when all in the
world they wanted was to be let alone
Rhododendrons are often winter
killed. In many cases they die because
they get too much attention. Mound
up leaves around them, the higher the
better, first wetting the ground thor
oughly. Sun-scald, which causes much
damage, can be avoided by setting up
boards to the south of the valuable
specimens. Straw mats, or mats made
from burlap bags will protect English
ivy. anonymous vegeta, the handsome
new climber which is being largely
substituted for English ivy, does not
seem to need any protection in any sec
ton.
The perennial beds would not require
any protection if snow would only fan
at the beginning of the season and stay
until spring.
The alternate freezing and thawing
does the mischief. Peonies, German
iris, phlox and peoples of the Oriental
type really need no covering. Their
roots are strong. A light overcoat of
leaves, straw or pine boughs, however,
is good for many of the perennials. A
heavy blanket will not permit .ventila-
ton.
Some of the finest perennials, like
Japanese anemones and tritoma, are
sensitive to cold and are safest in a
| cold cellar. If covered with straw and
protected from standing water, pam
sizes, English daisies and forget-me-
nots will generally stand the winter
| nicely.

BLOWS TO BRITISH SHIPPING.
German Report Says Total Tonnage
Lost Is 2,1s0,OoO.

Berlin (by wireless to Sayyille).-
The Overseas News Agency says that
the statement of the parliamentary un-
dersecretary of the British admiralty,
on, November Is, that about 21s per
cent. of the tonnage of British trading
steamers Of 1000 tons or more have
been lost up to the end of September,
1916, by war or sea risks is incorrect.
in fact" says the news agency,
English merchantmen of more than
1000 tons which have been lost up to
the end of September of this year
totaled 2,1S0000 tons, or 10.4 per cent.
of the total English tonnage at the be-
ginning of the war. If compared only
with the total tonnage of ships of more
than 1000 tons each, the percentage
would be still higher. The percentage
undoubtedly is increased considerably
by English losses from sea risks which
are unknown here"
