 The presidents proclamation follows: Tt long has been the custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and Thanksgiving to Almighty God for ms manly blessing 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 2 people but the whole face of the world has been darkened by war. In the midst If our peace and happiness. our thoughts dwell with painful disquiet upon the struggle and sufferings of the nations at war and of the peoples up- on whom war has brought disaster without choice or possibility of escape on their part We cannot think Of our happiness without thinking If their

ONE THING AFTER
 ANOTHER, HIS LIFE
Convicted PlOtter Sued for AHena-
 ti0n Of Affections

1 Newark May 16.-Adolph Hack purchasing agent for the Hamburg American Line is defendant in a $5O,- 900 alienation of affection suit brought by Berreda Turner of Lake Station, Baltimore county, Md. Hackmeister is under sentence to serve eighteen months in the Federal prison in At lanta for conspiracy 10 defraud the United States government.
 Turner is 55 years old and was for merly clerk of the Baltimore circuit court He described Mrs, Turner as "the most Iovable and affectionate woman that ever breathed' Turner testified that he was married thirty one years ago and that his wife, Mrs. Maud c. w. Turner, left him last fall He charged that the desertion was due to malicious exercises" by Hackmeis- ter of a most complete and overpow- ering influence"
 In October, 1913, when he and his Wife were guests at Hackmeister's s home, MT. Turner testified that he first iio'ASSN 1i1tlIIldCy D0lWeeu tIo two. They ate together, he asserted, and denied him the privilege to be with them.
 Later, when the Turner's visited the lmperator in Hoboken, MT. Turner stated, Hackmeister and Mrs. Turner toured the ship together and left him Tn a stateroom. He testified further that Mrs. Turner drank too much Wlne on one visit they made to Hack melster's house, and at another time he saw Mrs. Turner and Ha ckmester together drinking wine in a New York hotel.
 Letters Hackmeister IS alleged to have written to Mrs. Turner were in troduced One said in part:
 Maud Dear:-Tnis has been a dreary day. I have gone over the let ters l have had from you. In one respect they are all alike-through all or them runs like a thread the words, have patience' and 'soon.' Well, | have had patience for two years. I do not know when the supply of that virtue given to me by nature will be exhaust ted.''

FOOD DICTATOR
 GEMANY'S LATEST
Generalization of All Supplies at
 Bottom of Plan

Berlin, May IS, (via The Hague}- Germany is to have a Food Dicta tor' after all. His identity cannot yet be known with certainty, but seni-of1i- cially it is intimated a parsonage of tremendous force of character, coupled With rare organizing and es- ecutive ability will fill the office. The Cologne Gazette is in a position to state:
 Preparations are under way, hav- ing for their object the complete centralizatiOn and coordination of all mea sures relative to the food supply of the nation. This standardization means that the executive power in connection with all these measures will be given into the hands of a single personage, from whose creative strength one can expect relentless and rigid carrying out of all the em- bracing tasks intrusted to him. One will not err in assuming that the decision in this matter will fall within the next few days. The certainty is now at hand that the long contem- plated step of complete centralization
 
 ply and distribution of foodstutfs will now be taken by intrusting the exe- cution of all such measures to one personage, who, in this connection, will receive quite extraordinarily far reaching powers"
 Solution Of Meat Problem.
 An interesting solution of the meat problem is reported from Dresden, where, despite the introduction of moat coupons throughout Saxony, conditions were not greatly improved.
 Every consumer desiring to buy meat must register his name in spe- cial list every Saturday for the en- suing week at some one particular butchershop. An ordinance further requires the butcher to hang up a list in the shoW-window giving tho day and hour when a customer may get his or her meat allowance, thus pre- venting crowds collecting outside the shops and irritating long waits.
 Berlin continues to wrestle with the meat problem. Remedial measures are promised by the city fathers shortly. For the present Berlin won't ] introduce meat cards. The authorf- l ties fear if cards were given out call l ing for a small meat allowance it ! would arouse too unfavorable an i'm 1 pression abroad regarding food con- l dltions in Germany, since enemies and 1 neutrals would conclude that similar l conditions prevailed throughout the empire, whereas the fact is that for inner political reasons. Berlin is much worse off than any other mart of the empire.

which struck him with melancholy force as he stepped through the arched doorway, for he remarked, with calm survey of the walls and ceiling:
 ITO think-just to think that the bastile I helped to build is now going to imprison me.
 Of course, the question which sprung to the lips of every one who saw Rofrano yesterday was where had he been all this time.' Bua this question remained unanswered. District Attorney Swann did not know. Martin w. Littleton did not know. At his home at Oliver street there was no one who would venture even a syllable of information to clear up the mystery of the politi clans disappearance.
 The best that MT. Littleton would do in the way of an explanation was appear last Septem Der because he was indicted for political reasons and could not at that time have had Q fair trial, based solely on law and evidence. But now. he said condi- tions had changed. With a new ad- ministration in the District Attorneys office, Rofrano, according to his counsel, felt that he could go to trial with a reasona ble assurance of not having his head sacrificed to his DO litical enemies.

 Not only did he pick the time, but he also picked the place-the south west corner of Washington Square, where District Attorney Swann met him in person and placed him under arrest. On the scene at the time besides Rofrano and the prosecutor were the prisoners brother, RoberI Rofrano, and his counsel. Martin w. Littleton. The surrender was ac- complished swiftly and without any commotion. Many people were in the street, and within twenty-five feet of Rofrano were at least three poIcc- men, who hadn't the remotest ldea that the short burly man with weary eyes was a once powerful politician who had suddenly emerged from oblivion to face an accusation or 1Ur0pr

Hurricane Toll at Mobile Nine.

Mobile, Ala, July 10.-The death
toll from last weeks terrific hurri-
cane which swept over this section
stood at nine tonight, all the dead
apparently being sailors, whose bod
les were washed ashore near here. II
was estimated that a score or more
men are missing from small vessels
believed to have been wrecked along
the coast. One body was identified
as that of Capt. Kelly of the 300 ton
American schooner Emma S. Lord
which is believed to have foundered
off the entrance to Mobile bay.
Other bodies, apparently those Of
sailors, have not been identified.
Numbers of other small vessels, in
cluding a number of fishing smacks,
are said to be ashore, while from
along the coast come fragmentary re-
ports of houses damaged and of small
vessels still missing. AS far as was
known tonight no lives were lost o0
shore in this vicinity. Repair work
is being rapidly done here, and con-
ditions resembling normal are being
restored Estimates made here today
placed the damage in Mobile at be-
tween 100000 to s150,Q0O.
The schooner Laguna of 328 tons
was reported ashore near here. She
is commanded by Capt. Sherman and
is of American register. The three

perished from exposure when rescued
by County Detective Smith, who came
to arrest them at the behest of an irate

them for chicken thieves.
The Pole appeared at police head
quarters in the morning and told of
his capture. He said he had been
missing chickens for several weeks
and had decided to watch the hen
roosts. About 9 o'clock in the evening
he had seen two men go into a COOP.
and without waiting to parley over
their Intentions, he locked them in
and nailed board across the door for
extra security; then went to bed.
When Smith reached the barn he
found 1t was necessary to use u crow
