Washington.-A Thanksgiving da

ute largely toward relief i'm Europ,

proclamation said America should b

BY the President of the United State
Of America:
a Proclamation.
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 blessings 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 dwell with painful
disquiet upon the struggle and
sunerings 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 think
ing of their pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow
Wilson, President OF the United
States of America, do appoint
Thursday, the both of November.
as a day of national Thanksgiving
and prayer, and urge and advise
the people to resort to their sew
eral places of worship on that day
to render thanks to Almighty God
for the blessings of peace and un-
y broken prosperity which He has
bestowed upon our beloved coun-
try in such unstinted measure.
And also urge and suggest our
duty in this our day of peace and
abundance to think in deep sym.
pathy of the stricken peoples of
The world upon whom the curse
and terror of war has so pitliessly
fallen and to contribute out of
our abundant means to the relief
Of their sufferings.
Our people could in no better
way show their real attitude to.
ward 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 hereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the :.
seal of the United States to be
affixed.
Done at the City of Washing
ton this 18th day of November in
The year Of our Lord 1916, and OF
the Independence of the United
States the 141st.
WOODROW WILSON.
By the President,
ROBERT LANSING,
Secretary of State.

AN EFFECT OF HIGH
EXPLOSIVE SHELLS

The effect of high explosive
shells explains the deaht without
actual wounds of persons near
their place of explosion. Evidence
furnished by pocket aneroid bar
ometer exposed to the effects of a
German shell shows that the ex-
plosion produced, at distance OF
10 feet, a sudden barometric de-
preston OF nearly IA inches, cor
responding to a driving velocity
of the air of more than goo feet
per second. The suggested ex-
PLANTATION of the death of soldiers
under such conditions without
wounds is that 'the air and car
bonic acid in solution in the blood
are disengaged in the shape OF
minute gaseous bubbles as soon
as the pressure decreases too
suddenly from any cause. These
bubbles are driven into the small
arteries under the influence of the
pressure exerted by the heart. II
their diameter is greater than that
of the small arteries, they form 50
many gaseous plugs, which in
simultaneously stop the blood cir
culation, and death occurs before
there is time for them to dissolve
back into the blood."-World

COUNTING THE
BIRDS IN AMERICA

The United States government
has just finished the gigantic task
of counting the number of birds
in its borders. The census was
taken by voluntary bird lovers
all over the country and it reveal
ed the fact that there were about
25o,oooooo pairs of birds in the
c1tntry, or about a pair to an
acre.
Each bird counter was respon.
sible for an area of land not less
than forty acres and not more
than eighty acres in extent, and
the census only included the birds
nesting in that area.
The highest number of birds to
the acre was in district in Mary
land, where the average was seven
pairs.
Curiously enough the common
est bird was the robin, the sparrow
only ranking second. Taken all
round, too, birds were more COM

The Washington announce
ment that assurances have been
received from Berlin indicating
that Germany Is willing to meet
the United States more than hall
way in an endeavor to attain a
satisfactory adjustment OF the
points of controversy in the sub
marine dispute probably go a long
way toward relieving the present
tense situation but it by no means
clears away the impression that
Germany is only striving to gain
time while Developing a new ex-
cuse for carrying on the same old
game
limitations that Germany was
winning 10 deter to the wishes OF
the United States in this respect
have been 50 numerous and ire
quent and at the same time SO
wholly ineffective in stopping the
practices OF which we complain
that it is hardly to be wondered at
that many have come to look
upon her protestations as more or
less farcical.
In every instance where the Sit
uation has become straitened to
the degree that rupture of rela-
tons was threatened, Germany
has come forward with some dip
lomatic film fam to lull our rising
choler and in every instance We
have taken the bait and then re-
tired, to speculate on the wonder
full diplomatic victory we had
achieved in making Germany
promise to be good.
And what have all these social
ed victories amounted to? Hardly
have we concluded our self con-
CALCULATIONS before news arrives
of a few more ships being subma-
rined and few more Americans
killed.. Since the sinking OF the
Lusitania,. this has invariably
been the reward of Our diplomatic
victories
Berlin has promised and prom
ised but the same old game OF
death and destruction goes mer-
rily on and Germany is seemingly
no nearer to a conscious recogni-
ton of those principles for which
this government contends than
she was at the beginning.
We do not blame Germany i'll
the last for sinking every enemy
ship that comes within range OF
her guns. With her back to the
wall she is fighting a grim bat
tie for existence, with the world
as her foe and we no longer hold
her accountable for the weapons
