Washington.-In accordance with
custom in the diplomatic service, all
American ambassadors and ministers
abroad are expected to resign as a
sequence to President Wilson's re-
election and succession to a new term
Of office
Many OF them were appointed orig
inally without special knowledge on
their part Of the peculiar requirements
OF their posts. Some had no intention
Of remaining abroad more than one
term OF four years. In other cases
some who expected to make even
shorter stays abroad, have from force
Of circumstances, especially the exlg.
encles Of the present war, continued
at their posts only to meet the wishes
Of the State Department.
Foreign policies will engross large
part OF President Wilson's attention
in the immediate future to an extent
never contemplated when he first as.
sumed office. It is regarded as essen.
tial that in the development OF the
larger plans Of the administration in
foreign intercourse the President
should have specially selected ambas.
sadors and ministers to meet the de-
mands in each case.
Fortunately the practice which has
become general in the American diplo.
matte service since President Roose-
welt frankly requested the designations
Of all Of the ambassadors and minis.
ters. will afford President Wilson the
necessary opportunity to carry out
plans he has projected. involving
very considerable reorganization for
the diplomatic service so far as the
heads are concerened.
That a considerable number Of the
incumbent3 will be asked TO remain
In Office is a certainty, but some do
not wish to remain and some have
proved unequal TO the heavy require.
ments Of their stations. It IS said that
In the course OF one OF his Informal
talks TO newspaper men some time
ago President Wilson had precisely
this situation in the diplomatic serv.

DAY
Presidents Proclamation Urges
People To Remember and
Help Nations Afflicted
BY War.

Washington. -- President Wilson
formally, by proclamation, designated
Thursday, November 80, as Thanks
giving Day.
The proclamation follows:
THE year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day Of thanks.
giving has been rich in blessings to us
as 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 dis
quiet upon the struggles and suiferings
of the nations at war and Of the peo-
pies upon whom war has brought dis
aster without choice or possibility Of
escape on their part. We cannot think
Of our own happiness without thinking
OF their pitlful distress
Now, therefore, |, Woodrow Wilson,
President Of the United States OF
America, do appoint Thursday the
S0th Of November as a day Of nation
al 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 l also urge and suggest our
duty IN this our day OF peace and
abundance to think in deep sympathy
OF the stricken peoples Of the world
upon whom the curse and terror Of
war has so pitlessly fallen and to con
tribute out OF our abundant means to
the relief of their sufferings.
"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 It's train"
