Washington, Nov. S.-President
Wilson issued last night his 1917
Thanksgiving proclamation, calling
on the nation, even in the midst OF
the sorrow and great peril OF world
shaken war, to thank God for bless
ings that are better than mere peace
of mind and prosperity of enterprise.
The proclamation, fixing Thursday
November 49,, as Thanksgiving day
follows:
THANKSGIVING, 1917.
BY the President of the United
States of America-A Proclamation.
1T has long been the honorcd Gus
tom of our people to turn IN the fruit
full autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for his
many blessings and mercies to us al
a nation. That custom we can fol
low now, even in the midst of the
tragedy of a world shaken by wal
and Unreasonable disaster, in the
midst of sorrow and great peril, be
cause even amidst the darkness tina
has gathered about us we can SEE
the great blessings God has bestowed
upon his people, blessings that are
better than mere peace Of mind ant
prosperity of enterprise.
I'VE have been given the Oppor
stunity to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves in the great day o
our declaration Of independence, BY
taking up arms against a tyranny
that threatened to master and de BASE
men everywhere, and joining with
other free peoples in demanding fol
all the nations of the world what We
then demanded and obtained fol
ourselves. In this day of the revel
alton OF our duty not only to defent
our own rights as nation but to de
fend also the rights OF free mey
throughout the world, there has beer
vouchsafed us in full and inspiring
measure the resolution and spirit o.
united action. We have been brought
TO one mind and purpose. A new Wig
Or OF common counsel and common
action has been revealed in us. W.

Won Hindenburg announced, that
Russia must be beaten first. Russia
isn't yet beaten but there is no pres

man.power, and Germany takes many
divisions from her eastern forces to
put them elsewhere where she feels

help of late. Upon short notice Ger

It has been forced to make decisions
which may have had already a far
reaching effect on the progress Of the
war.
w., No Hint Of stinting Il FL. 5,s.t..
The great war conference will re-
lieve the government of this burden
There is no hint of stinting the help,
but at the council table there will be
received and weighed, side. by side,
the needs of all the powers to be
aided. The, resources of each will be
reviewed and perfected plan of &C
ton adopted on which can be based
the delivery of American supplies OF
men,. money or food at the points
where they will be most effective Tor
the common cause. ,,
The men who, compose the Amerl'
can mission are regarded by tho gov
eminent as eminently fitted. for their
part in the task, as each has been
personally associated with the de-
vclopment of some phase Of the vast
mobilization of the nations resources
that has been going on since the Unit
ed States entered the war.
Col. House speaks officially for the
government and may be regarded as
the personal, representative of the
president, as commander In chief OF
the army and the navy. This Is the
third time the Col. has been called
upon to cross the ocean since Europe
became evolved in war. -.
While the personnel Of the missions
to be sent by the other belligerents
is not known, it is indicated that they
will be Of equal Importance and Will
include, the military chiefs OF each
power as we'll as the chiefs of the
various civilian agencies created fol
the prosecution Of the war.
Most of the results Of the confer
once probably will be disclosed only
in events on the battle fronts. These
may not be, apparent soon, for !,
takes time to put in motion SO vas'
mechanism as is contemplated.

the joint efforts of the co.belligerents
may attain the highest war efficiency.
While a definite program has not been
adopted it may be assumed that the
subjects to be discussed will embrace
not only those pertaining to military
and naval operations, but also the
financial, commercial, economic and
other phases of the present situation
which are of vital importance to the
successful prosecution of the war.
Aims Of the Conference.
There will undoubtedly be an eff
fort to avoid any conflict of interest
among the participants, and there is
every reason to anticipate that the
result will be fuller cooperation. and
consequently much higher efficiency
and more vigorous prosecution of
the war.

neutralized the defensive strength Of

planes and dirgibles are harrassing,
blocking or destroying the enemy. The
British batteries have been withdrawn

They lost three men, not at the hands
of the enemy, but as result of an
accident and exposure.
A monster gun nearly broke through
a bridge across the Piave river.
The reference to gun being taken
across the Piave river is the first in
dication that the Italian retreat had
reached SO far west. This possibly
means that no great stand is to be
made along the Livenza river.
