shington.-President Wilson is
sued his 1917 Thanksgiving proclama-
tion calling upon the nation, even in
the midst of sorrow and great peril of
world shaken by war to thank God
for blessings that are better than
mere peace of mind and prosperity of
enterprise.
The proclamation, fixing Thursday,
Nov. 30, as Thanksgiving day, follows:
1t has long been the honored 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 as
nation. That custom we can fol
low now even in the midst of the trag-
edy of a world shaken by war and inn
measurable disaster, in the midst of
sorrow and great peril, because even
amidst the darkness that has gather
ed about us, we can see the great
blessings God has bestowed upon us,
blessings that are better than mere
peace of mind and prosperity of en-
terprise.
We have been given the opportunity
to serve mankind as we once served
ourselves in the great day of our Dec
laration of Independence by taking up
arms against a tyranny that threaten
ed to master and debase men every
where and joining with other free peo-
pies in demanding for all the nations
of the world what we then demanded
Dh8 fav In
day of the revelation of our duty not
only to defend our own rights as a ma
ton, but to defend also the rights of
free men throughout the world, there
has been vouchsafed us in full and In
spring measure the resolution and
spirit of united action.
We have been brought to one mind
and purpose. A new vigor of common
counsel and common action has been
revealed in us. We should especial
ly thank God that in such circum-
stances, in the midst of the greatest
enterprise the spirits of men have ever
entered upon, we have, if we but OBJ
serve a reasonable and practicable
economy, abundance with which to
supply the needs of those associated
with us as well as our own. A new
light shines about us. The great
duties of a day awaken a new and
greater national spirit in US. We shall
never again be divided or wonder what
stuff we are made of.
And while we render thanks for
these things let us pray Almighty God
that in all humbleness of spirit we
may look always to Him for guidance;
that we may be kept constant in the
spirit and purpose of service; that by
His grace our minds may be directed
and our hands strengthened; and that
in His good time liberty and security
and peace and the comradeship of a
common justice may be vouchsafed all
the nations of the earth.
Wherefore, /, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of Am
erica, do hereby designate Thursday,
the twenty-ninth day of November
next, as a day of Thanksgiving and
prayer and invite the people through
out the land to cease upon that day
from their ordinary occupations and
in their several homes and places of
worship to render thanks to God, the
great ruler of nations.

King Names Sunday, Jan. 6, for Serv-

ices in All Churches.
London.-The King has addressed a
letter to my people," appointing Sun
day, Jan. 6. as "a special day of pray
er and thanksgiving in all the
churches throughout my dominions.
The King says:
"The worldwide struggle for the
triumph of right and liberty is enter
ing upon its last and most difficult
phase. The enemy is striving by des-
perate assault and subtle intrigue to
perpetuate the wrongs already COM
mitted and to stem the tide of free
civilization.
1--WE have yet to complete the great
task to which more than three years
ago we dedicated ourselves.
"At such time l would call upon you
to devote a special day to prayer, that
we may have the lear-sightedness
and strength necessary to victory"

Last German Reserves Called.

London.-Germany called up her
last reserves, according to the Central
News correspondent at Zurich. All
men who previously had been reject
ed were ordered to present them
selves for re-examination, and within
twenty-four hours all not utterly in
capacitated were on their way to the
training centers. This action, says
the correspondent, is attributed to the
intention of the central powers to
make a final effort on the western
front before Americas help becomes
effective.

Plans Disrupted by the War.

Then on came the war. The Mar
ouis de Polignac left his villa, his busi-
ness. his educational work and his
nlovgrounds and entered the French
army as a private. He served side by
side with his own workmen in all the
Aqbts which took place between the
French and the Germans when the lat
fer invaded France. He fought from
tbe Belgian border back to the Marine
and then when the French armies
struck back he followed, fighting with
his workmen regiment, and finally had
the satisfaction of re-entering his home
town with a victorious army. Since
then Reims has been in possession of
the French, but the Germans with
their heavy guns have been almost at
its doors.
The French military authorities
made Marquis de Polignac a corporal
and IT is said he was much prouder of
tbe title than he was of that of mar
ouis. for the suspicion is strong that
tbjs descendant of one of the oldest
families of France is very much of a
democrat.
