Should Remember Victims of
War In This Our Day of
PeaCe.--MiISOn,

Washington, Nov. 17.-Presi-
dent Wilson today formerly, by
proclamation, designated Thurs
dav, November 80, as Thanks
giving Day.
The Presidents proclamation
follows
1t has long been the custom
of our people to turn in the fruit
full autumn Of the year in praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty
God for His blessings and mer-
cies 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 happi-
ness, our thoughts dwell with
painful disquiet upon the strug-
giles and sufferings Of the ma
tons at war and of the peoples
upon whom war has brought
disaster without choice or posi-
bility of escape on their part.
We cannot think of our own hap
piness without thinking of their
pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United
States of America. do appoint
Thursday, the 30th day of No
vember, as a day of national
thanksgiving and PRAYER, and
urge and advise the people to re-
sort to their several places of
worship on that day to render
thanks to Almighty God for tile
blessings of peace and unbroken
which He has bestow-
ed upon our beloved country in
such unstinted measure.
And l also urge and suggest
our duty, in this our day of peace
and abundance, to think in deep
sympathy of the stricken people
Of the world upon whom theI
curse and terror of war has sol
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 attitute to-
Yards the present struggle of
he nations than by contributing
,ut of their abundance to the re-
ief of the suffering which the
var has brought in its train.
In witness whereof, | have
lereunto set my hand and caused |,

A MERE VOTE BIDDER

The Wilson administration mas

Strucliye acts the Federal Reserve
system. assuming that it was entirely
OF its own initiative. This is not true.
1t was based in reality on the invesu-
cations made by the Monetary Com
mission. Il body Of Republican origin.
The President misrepresents this med
sure as being Democratic idea, pure
and simple. just as he falsely takes
credit for the Child Labor bill. In its
origin il was likewise Of Republican
inception. Besides it never would
have passed Congress had it not been
for Republican support. 1t is matter
Of record that the most determined OPP
position &c it came from Democratic
Senators representing States OF the
Solid South. the very backbone Of the
Democratic party 1t is a notorious
fact that the prime necessity for this
law was not because Of conditions IN
Republican States, all OF which al
ready have laws regulating the labor
Of children. but because OF conditions
in feI Democratic-ridden States
which have. ;ime and again. defeated
every effort 10 curtail the employment
OF children in their factories.
With its usual incompetency the
Democratic party has made the Child
Labor bill practically nugatory by the
eQuivocal language employed in franz
ing the measure. The Joker" that has
been discovered may leave the door
open for evasion of its restrictions
in the Democratic States where child
labor is lawful. President Wilson's
boast of this humanitarian legisla-
ton does not comport with his rec
ord on the measure. Why was it that
he suddenly evinced the interest in it
after remaining Indifferent to the cries
of humanity for nearly three years and
a half OF his administration? Why
was il so earnestly projected on Con-
greSs on the eve of his campaign for
reelection? Votes. That's the an

upon the authenticity of the ruin, The
belief in its antiquity gives some idea
Of the depth to which the roots OF the
Dohrudja extend in the sill f Tine.
The present name Of the D00rudJa
originated in one Of those political
earthquakes which have shaken the
Balkan Peninsula and lis peoples ii
all too frequent intervals since the bt-
ginnngs Of history. 1t was in the four
Lecnth century, when the Romans were

ritcll. established in that corner or The
world 4 Bulgarian pr!ncipallly Inc
town of Dobritch, which the Rouran'
ianS lost TO the BulgaianS recently, IS
named for that prince. The word DoO-
rudja is corruption OF the same
name.
Prince DobrItch made Dobrudja a
powcr in the eastern world Tor brief
period. lie challenged the might Of
the Byzantine empire, took Narna, the
adjacent port on the Black Sea, from
the emperor and even Tcntureu upon
Il path Of maritime conquest by send
ing a fleet TO the aid OF his brother
in-law, who was ConteStiHS the throne
of TrebiZond. on the Black Sea.
Then came the Turks, and history
ceased in Dobrudja as a clock ceases
when it has run down.
The DObrudja was next heard OF III
the last quarter Of the nineteenth cen
fury. At that time Russia had van
quishcd Turkey, with some help from
Rumania. TO reward her ally, Russia
permitted Rumania to annex the do,
brudia, with its 1900 square miles OF
territory and its 100000 souls. In re.
rurn. however, Russia herself annexed
the Rumauian province OF .BcSSarabia
The Congress Of Berlin sanctioned the
transaction.
This was a poor exchange for the
Rumanians from every point Ut View
and it had an incidental effect OF
bringing Rumania into chronic friction
with the newly created Bulgaria, be-

cause the territory taken over by the
government at Bucharest belonged 10
Bulgaria geographically, racially and
stretgicallr.
A marsh in the north in arid desert
| in the middle, and mountainous IN
good part Of the region where IL Is
brudja, as defined al the Congress OF
Berlin, touched along its southern Dor
der singuarly fertile part Of Bulga-
ria--the plains around Silistrla, Tutra-
kan, on the Danube, and the DobrllCh
, region. So, to compensate themselves
for the loss of Bessarabia to their ally,
Russia, the RumanianS watched their
! opportunity.
That opportunity came in 1913. Bull
garia, engaged with four nations on
her southern, western and eastern
fronts. was confronted with demand
from Bucharest for the ceSsion OF the
rich strip ul territory adjoining the
pohrudja. When Bulgaria refused 10
accede TO this demand, Rumania
marched in and occupied Silistria, Tut
rakan, and all the territory which she
OF which Russia was the sponsor, con-
tirmed Rumania in her possession Of
nearly 5000 square miles OF the most
productive territory Of the Bulgarian
kingdom.
But it is the unexpected that hap
pens in the Balkans, far more frequent
| ly than that which is expected. An
other change has been wrought in the
faSt-moying panorama of Balkan
events. RusSa'S decree Of 1878 has
been partly undOne by marching bat
| talions. and the fragments Of the tlcaty
Of 1918 have been sCattred TO the
winds by mailed hands.
All of the territory which Rumania
! took from Bulgaria in 1913 has been
won back by Bulgaria. and in addition
good part Of the DObrudja as defined
by the treaty of Berlin.
Will the latest verdict Of history
stand. or will it be reversed by the de-
cree of future military events?
The answer is being awaited with
tragic interest by more than 10000 hui
man beings, 10 most Of whom, rs to
all her Jews, Rumania has denied the
basic rights of citizenship, including
the ballot.
For, besides a Rumanian minority,
the Dobrudja is inhabited by ma
jority of nun-Rumanian raCes-Bulga-
rians, Greeks, Turks, Nogai TartarS,
CircasSianS, Russians, Germans, Jews
and GypSieS. There races are chill

Political rights are denied TO most Of
them, and some of them, like the Jews.
and other disabilities IN addition.
Whereas, across the frontier in Bull
garia. all races and religions enjoy
equal rights at the polls and before
the law.
