our day of thanksgiving has been rich in
blessings to us as people, but the whole

war. In the midst Of our peace and hap
piness our thoughts dwell with painful
disquiet upon the struggles and sufferings
OF the nations at war and Of the peoples
upon whom war has brought disaster with
out choice or possibility Of escape on their
part. We cannot think Of our own hsppi-
ness without thinking also Of their pitiful
distress.
Nov, therefore, Woodrow Wilson.
President of the United States Of America.
do appoint Thursday. the thirtieth Of No.

ing 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 upon our beloved country in such
unstinted measure. And 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 the curse and terror Of war has SO
pitilessly fallen. and to contribute out Of
our abundant means TO the relief Of their
suffering. Our people could in no better
way show their real attitude toward 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.
in witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused toe seal Of the United
