NOVEMBER BOTH AS
THANKSGIVING DAY
Advises People Of Nation to Ex-
press Gratitude for Blessings
of Peace and UnbrOken Pros
perity

washington, Nov. 19.-President Will
son has formally by proclamation des-
ignated Thursday, Nov. 80, as Thanks
giving day.
Here follows the Presidents procla-
nation:
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 his many bless
ings 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 dwelt with painful dis
quiet upon the struggles and suffer-
ings 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.
Nov therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson.
President of the United States of
America. do appoint Thursday, the 30th
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 render thanks to Almighty God for
the blessings of peace and unbroken
prosperity, which He has bestowed up
on our beloved country in such I'M
stinted measure.
"And I 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 contrib
ute out Of our abundant means to the
relief of their sufferings.
Our people could in no 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.
"Tn witness whereof, I have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington,
this 18th day OF November, in the year
Of our Lord. 1916, and of the independ-
ance of the United States the 141st.
(Signed)
WOODROW WILSON.

Started Trouble, Gets Crack on
Head-Is Later Arrested and
Brought to Augusta-Will Be
Given Hearing This Morning
at Municipal Court on Two
Charges

AS the result Of row last Friday in

insisted on assaulting him: that he told
Estes to keep away but that Estes fol-
lowed him up and made some passes
at him. whereupon they clinched and
that he threw Estes to the ground. land
Ing on him and holding him there.
Whitney further alleges that he held
Estes down until The latter said he
had had enough. whereupon he allowed
Estes to get up. but that after regain
ing his feet Estes kept after him and
threw his cantdog at him. In order to
defend himself as Estes came at him,
Whitney claims that he got his cantdog
and struck Estes on the head, the blow,
it has been learned, knocking Estes out
and cutting his head severely enough
to require the services Of a surgeon.
A second warrant was sworn out
against Estes by Charles c. Clark.
boss at the Elliott camp. charging him
with assault. his claim being that Estes
was at the camp Friday night and arm
ing himself with butcher knife threat
ened to kill the complainant and others.

FROM
THE LAW COURT

The following rescript handed down
by the law court in the Penobscot
county case Of Alvin H. Perley VS.. Ed
win McGray has been received at the
office of the clerk of courts OF kenne-
bee county:
Penobscot county. Alvin H. Perley
VS.. Edwin McGray. Rescript, Bird. j.
Where the plaintiff declares in ac-
count annexed for a balance due ac-
cording to bill rendered on account of
groceries and other supplies furnished
defendant by plaintiff from goods in
his store and defendant, having Meth
er demurred nor asked bill of partic-
ulars, pleads the general issue which is
joined, the existence of the balance de-
clared upon is the only issue raised.
Testimony of plaintiff and his COM
mon law assignee that statements of
account were mailed to all debtors of
plaintiff at or about a certain date and
the fact that a. few days later defend
ant delivered to the assignee goods
which were included in the account
against defendant, justifies the finding
as matter of fact that the statement
was mailed by the assignee to defend
ant and received by the latter.
The original books of account hav
ing been destroyed by fire, a book
made by the assignee containing bal
ances of all of the accounts of plain
tiff Is admissible to show the amount
of the balance of the account of de-
PENDANT at the time of the assignment.
The defendant having made no re-
ply to the account mailed to him by
the assignee, his silence not being sat
isfactorily explained, is under the cir
cumstances of this case an admission
that the balance shown by the state
ment is correct.
Judgment may be entered for the
sum of two hundred fifty-one dollars
and seventeen cents, and interest
thereon from October 1, 1910, to the
day of judgment, to be calculated by
the clerk Of courts on the entry of
judgment.
So ordered.
Received Nov. II, 1916.

 The spectacle of the dgnihed Colonel Harvey as reporter, notebook in hand, listening in silence to views reRecting on his country and its chief execu- tie is rather toe much for the imagination A re- porter would not, of course debate with the inter- viewed the subect-matter of the interview. And as proving that Harvey not acting in the capacity merely of reporter, he relates how his own views were accepted by the host on one of the subjects dis cussed, and the matter was dropped Tn his mag azine he already had refuted Roosevets fallacies, ;: 4 # and from his present article the inference is fair that he did it again in England" says Mr.. Stanton.
 The reasoning involved in the suggestion that many an American life would have been saved had certain utterances of President Wilson not been made is difficult to follow. Ii would not have saved many an American life, for instance, if, instead of acopting the policy of "vatchfIl waiting, 'resi- dent Wilson had followed the advice of the Arneri- can millionaire holders of Mexican mines aGd oil lands and brought about war upon the rayaged re- public in order to project their investments The President was right when he Intmated that the United States vas too proud to fight the battles or the INle-OWN6[o dnd OH lld9ndlSS WHO, d5 is cutie well known-or at least such belief IS gener- ally accepted -fomented and financed the different revolutions in Mexico for their own selfish ends.
 As to the value of the opinions quoted by Colonel Harvey, they are at least doubtful. The Indignation of the American commander of British battery who admitted reprisals against the Teu;ors of the most reyotng nature, for instance would not be gwen much weight. Probably Colonel Harvey would have us attach more importance to his observations than they merit
