French and Serbians having captured the
crest of hills partially surrounding the val
ley town, the Germans found their position un.
tenable nd withdrew, according to Berlin, to a
new position north of Monastir. Unofficial
advices from Saloniki say temporary capital
of Serbia will be Immediately established at
Monastir. With the e-occupation of Monastir
the railway line from the Entente Allied base
at Saloniki is now in Entente hands.

to the Roumanians, who seem in a fair way to
be dspossessed of their country There
would be more sympathy for them. but for
their attitude during the war, before they join
ed the Allies, and since. They barganed with
Germany and with the Allies until they decid-
ed to cast their lot with the latter Then
they undertook to occupy and hold Bulgarian
territory which they coveted, and invaded
that country, but were driven out and the
Bulgarians are now holding a considerable
portion of Roumania.

THANKSGIVING DAY NOV. BOTH.

President Wilson has designated Thursday
Nov. 30th, as Thanksgiving day, and says in
his proclamation:
at has long been the custom of our people
to turn in the fruitful autumn of the wear in
praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for
his many blessings and mercies to US, and the
Nation.
1.-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 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 happiness without thinking of their
pitiful distress.
SHOW therefore, /, Woodrow Wilson, Presl-
dent of the United States of America, do ap-
point Thursday. the Both of November, as a
day OF National thanksgiving and prayer and
urge and advise the people to resort to their
several places of worship on that day to rem
der thanks to Almighty God for the blessings
of peace and unbroken prosperity. which He
has bestowed 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 peoples of
the world upon whom the curse and terror of
war has pitilessly fallen and to contribute
out of our abundant means to the relief of
their sufferings.
"Our people could in better way show
their real attitude towards 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.

The News of Belfast.

''HE KEPT, US OUT OF WAR.
The women of the east are dumb,
But ever wonder, Why?
Their sisters in the golden west
Have swelled the slogan cry
"He" kept our country out OF war!
"He" saved our dear sons lives!
And so we voted "Wilson,"
We widows. maids and wives.
Perhaps our sisters in the west
Have no sons that were sent
Down to the land of Mexico
Where many lives were spent!
Nor on the oceans broad highway,
Where by a bastard blow
The bones of many a mothers son
Lie bleaching down below.
We women of the east vote not,
But humbly question why
Some mothers sons were careful spared
While other SONS did die!

stated that accordingly disCrlmlna-
