THANKSGIVING WILL BE QUIET
<<%*<<*+ <<<<<<<<
FAMILY DINNERS ARE RULE

Thanksgiving will be quietly OBJ
served in Sank Centre. Family gath
erings, with their plenteous cheer
and bounteous boards, will provide
the great share of the observance.
Only few of the churches will hold
services and none has arranged spec
ial exercises. The snow of Monday
disarranged plans for numerous skat-
ing parties. No athletic event is
scheduled for the afternoon as in for
mer years. School was dismissed on
Wednesday afternoon for the regular
Thanksgiving vacation.
The Firemen's Ball in the evening
at the City Hall, however, will, as US
usl, be the biggest social event of the
year in the city. The committee on
arrangements has caused the hall to
be secured until it looks like a new
pin and the decorations are attractive.
Extra seats have been arranged for
spectators and the musical program
will be continuous. Who will lead the

grand march is still kept secret by
the committee in charge. 1t will be
the only public pleasure event of the
Gay, aside from the theatre.
Churches have varied from their
usual custom of holding Thanksgiving
services or celebrations and this year
there will be no observance at the
Church of the Good Samaritan, st.
Paups church or the Congregational
church.
Rev. Duel will hold service, how
ever, at $50 a. m. in the Methodist
church; Rev. Stein will conduct SER
vices in German at the German Luth-
eran church at 1880 a. M, and Rev.
FIR. Hinnenkamp will hold low mass at
Our Lady of the Angels church at
8 a. m.
All business houses will be closed
and it promises to be one of the quiet
est Thanksgiving in the history of
the city.

Washington Awaits Details

Washington, Nov. 29-Sinking of
the American Steamer Chenung "by
torpedo and gun fire" was officially
reported to the State department yes
tcrday. This is the first time Amer
ica's attention has been focused on
Austro-H Hungarian submarine activi-
ties since the attack on the Petrolite.
Although receipt of the cable plain
~ startled officials at first, it was
later pointed out that since the Che
mung had contraband aboard, she was
subject to stop. and search at least by
an enemy of the country to which the
ccntraband was destined.
Some officials were frank to say
that the United States "of course"
would take summary action should it
be proved the attack was unwarrant-
ed. But it was repeated for sake of
emphasis, the facts, and all the facts
must be known.
1t is understood here that the Che
mung's manifest showed pig iron, 200
bales of cotton, copper wire and cop
per in pieces and barrels. Copper has
been declared contraband by the Al

HOME TALENT MINSTREL SHOW
Thirty School Boys to Give Enter.
tainment Under Direction of
Miss Remington.

The one thing lacking in Sank Cen
tres long list of varied home talent
plays has been a minstrel show-the
real article, with plantation songs,
rag time, minstrel jokes, negro dances
and above all, the cake walk. 1t
seems strange that there never has
been one, for the talent is here, both
unsteady and with ability to imper-
senate. Nevertheless, it required the
discerning eye of the public school in
structor of music, Miss Marian Rem
ington, to discover the hidden genius.
The result will be, of course, min
strel show of the kind about which
father never tires of talking.
The play will be given in the au-
ditorium of the Junior high school on
Dec. 8. There will be matinee in the
afternoon for the children which will
be exactly the same as the evening
performance. 1t is not at all neces-
sary to urge the people to attend, for
this town is noted for it's loyal sup
port of home talent productions. I'M
questionably there will be standing
room only" and possibly not very
much of that.
There will be cast of thirty boys,
a picked orchestra, between act spec
ialties that no one may be bored
by the sound of shifting scenery,
good solos and a particularly good
song by James McGibbon. The play
is divided into three acts. The main
features of the acts are plantation
songs, jokes, local slams and all that
belongs to the rollicking darby exist
ence. The third act has for its spec
ialty society cake walk. AS an in
ducement to this high stepping, real
cake will be presented to the kinky-
haired couple winning the most favor.
The indispensable interlocutor will
be Clarence Barry and the end, men
are Cecil Lee, Milton Fish, Dewey
O'Gara, Willis Benson, Carroll Pang
burn and Charles Allen. Miss Rem
ington has the sole responsibility, ex-
cept for assistance IN the cake walk.
Her work thus far shows her capabil-
ity and under her management the
boys will make the production an I'M
qualified success.

U-BOAT, WITH FLAG FLYING
Teuton-Crew Picked Up by Spanish Steamer
and Safely Landed-W Washington Waits.

London, Nov. 29.-Refusing to
strike his colors and backed by his
crew in resisting efforts of Austrian
sailors to lower the U. S. flag flying
at the mast head, Captain John L..
Duffy of the American owned, Amer
lean built and American manned
steamer Chemung, watched an Aus
tro-Hungarian submarine send tor
pedo into the vitals of his ship, sink
ing it,
The American vessel plunged be-
meath the waves with the Stars ano
Stripes flying and with the "a mem
bers of the crew mixing their cheers
with tears for the loss of the ship.
The crew of the Chemung has been
landed at Valencia, Spain, by the
Spanish steamer Giner. The United
States CONSUL at that port cabled that
all had been safely landed.
The Chemung met the submarine
near Cabo de Gaia and was ordered tt
stop. Sailors from the U-boat board
ed the steamer and the commander
gave orders that the ship be sunk.
The commander ordered the Amer
leans to lower their flag before any
shots were fired.
They refused. Captain Duffy said
that if the ship had to be sunk it
would be with the flag flying.
Teuton sailors prepared to lower
the flag when the Americans inter-
fered and the stubborn resistance pre-
vented the proposed action.
Captain Duffy maintained his posi-
ton and so rapidly were the prepare
items to sink the Chemung made that
further discussion about the standard
ceased. ~
AS soon as Captain Duffy and his
crew had been taken aboard the sub
marine a torpedo and three shells
were sent against the side OF the
American ship, sending it to the bot
tom.
The Valencia advices add that the
submarine responsible for the sinking
towed the crew to within five miles of
the coast where they were picked up
at the end of the day by the Giner.
Hardy Steamship company, owners
of the Chemung, said the vessel car
ried general cargo only, no munitions
or cargo owned by the Italian gov
eminent being on board.
The Chemung was registered at
New York and carried crew of "a
Captain Duffy has made long report
of the incident to the American con-
sui at Valencia, John R. huffman.

from the Valencia CONSUL said in eff
feet:
aThe American steamer, Chemung,

fire and torpedoed 26th, IA miles east
of Cape De Gaia. Crew landed at

This is the first case involving an
Austrian submarine since the Stand
ard Oil tanker Petrolite was held up.

WARNING TO PARENTS

Deputy Game Warden Joe Miller
has asked the Herald to urge parents
to warn their children against going
shooting on the river bottom on Dec.
1, the opening day of muskrat sea-
son. Warden Miller fears that if
troops of boys with their rifles swarm
down on the river that casualties will
result. It is. illegal for lads under "A
years of age to carry firearms unless
accompanied by parent or guardian.

Shall We Have War?

The militia has been called out. Men who enlisted
with little thought Of summoned to put on their
uniforms drop their business and leave home for the
camp and perhaps for the battlefield.
We do not understand President Wilson's plans nor
know the reasons for his actions We could pur
pose in the occupation of Vera Cruz and end
to be accomplished by landing and keeping troops in
Mexico OF justified all right by the things
the Mexicans have done; but still good to come
from our actions unless be to get OF men
customed to warlke maneuvers.
But we do believe that is for the interest OF Presi
dent Wilson preserve his great record as peacemaker
And we believe that at heart he desires peace. And
America great too too sure to get all that JUS
tice demands in the end, to be hurried into war;
