WOMAN AGAINST BURGLARS.

Mrs. John Donnelly, Of Union ave-
nue., had an experience with burglars
early Tuesday morning, which she is
not soon apt to forget. With only
her. little children in the house as
company, she was awakened from
sleep about-2 o'clock by two masked
men who had gained entrance by
breaking open the Mower windows.
They were on the lower floor when
Mrs. DonneHy was aroused. Without
awakening her children she rose from
her bed and went down stairs. There
She discovered the two men. She
shut a door behind her and yelled for
help. The burglars then ran from
the house. Nothing of value was ta-
ken by them. Mrs. Donnelly is the
wife of John Donnelly, a fireman at
the w. & W. factory.

Washington.-Presid Wilson for
malls by proclamation designated
Thursday. Nov. 80. as Thanksgiving
day. The Presidents proclnmauon
follows:
at 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 dwell with painful disquiet
upon the struggles and sufferings 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 happiness without thinking of
their pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States of
America, do appoint Thursday, the
Both Of November, as 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
upon our beloved country in such un-
stinted measure.
And ! also urge and suggest our
duty, in this our day of peace and
of the stricken peoples 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 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.
''In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington

London.-The British hospital shir
Britannia, probably the former White

OF the biggest ships afloat, was sunk
in the Zea channel of the Aegean sea
by a mine or torpedo. The admiralty
announced that OF those aboard about
fifty were lost, twenty-eight we're in.

The White Star liner Britannia was

afloat, 5000 tons larger than the I'll.
taIiic. She was built for the White
Star lines passenger service. being
finished only last year. but was imme,
diately requisitioned by the British
government as a hospital transport.
The Zea channel, where the ad
miralty states the great ship was lost
is bit OF water between the main.
land of Greece and the island of Zea.
From this 1t is safe to assume that
the Britannia was bringing back

Vienna reports that although the
death of the Emperor had. been ex-

THE heir to the throne, Archduke
Charles Francis, has been for some
time in Vienna.
"a meeting of the Hungarian cabi-
net has been called at Budapest. Pre-

that Emperor Francis Joseph's health
was again the subject of solicitation
was contained in a dispatch dated
Nov. ~, emanating from Vienna
news agency. which reported that the
Emperor had been suffering for some
days from a slight catarrhal affection.
What gave some credence to the
suspicion that his condition was much
graver than the official bulletins indi-
Gated was the report, which still lacks
official confirmation. that 1t had been

the German reply regarding the sink
ing Of the British steamer Rowanmore
and three steamers lost in September
