+ London, Nov. 16.-Only one British
merchant vessel of 1000 tons or over

week, according to the weekly state
ment of shipping losses just issued
This is the low record since Germany
began her submarine campaign. Five
vessels of less than 1900 tons and one
fishing boat were sunk during the
week Thus Germany's submarine
campaign is waning as result of the
stringent measures that have been
taken to combat ii by the British and
American naval forces.

Washington, Nov. 16.--Not since
Germany began her intensified sub
marine campaign in February has the
total number of British merchantmen
sunk by mine or submarine been as
small as the Admiralty statement for
last week shows. The previous low
record was twelve merchantmen.
eight of them of a tonnage in excess
of 1000 and four of them less than
1000 tons.
The high crest OF the wave OF Brit
ish merchantmen sunk was during
the week of April %, when 40 ships
of 1,600 tons and over and Is of less
tonnage were sunk-a total of 55. The
next high record was the following
week when 3S vessels of the larger
and 13 of the smaller category were
sent to the bottom.
Exchange of information as to ways
of meeting the submarine menace is
taking place between Admiral Benson
and officials of his staff and officials
of the British admiralty at London.

that the admiDal had gone to England

officials with all that the United

Copenhagen, Nov. 16.-According to

former CZar Nicholas as its emperor.

THANKSGIVING NOV. .29
Day is Proclaimed by Governor
Burnquist.
Annual Proclamation Calls On Peo
pie To Offer Thanks and To
Pray for Forti<ude.

st. Paul, Nov 16.-Governor j. A.
!. Burnquist has issued his annual
Thanksgiving day proclamation. The
text follows:
"In the midst of preparations for the
gigantic tasks before the American
people, we are approaching Thanks
giving day this year with special
feeling of gratitude for the loyalty
and patriotism manifested by the cit
izens of our state and nation. Today.
as never before, are American hearts
united with desire to be of service
to those who are so patriotically going
forth to serve their country on the
fielSs of battle. At such a time as
this we realize the need of that in
spiration, courage and endurance nec-
essary for victory in the great war in
to which we have entered to advance
the principles of Justice.
Notwithstanding the diversion of
some forms of industry from peaceful
pursuits to the national defense, pro-
gress is being made in all lines of
human endeavor. Labor is every
where employed. Farms have pro-
duced immense crops. Business is ac-
tive. The State and nation are pros
porous.
"Now, therefore, /, ]. A. A Burn.
quist, governor of the state of Min.
nesota, do hereby proclaim the last
Thursday of this month, Nov. 29th, to
be observed by all the people of our
state, as a day OF prayer for fortitude
sufficient to secure righteous peace
and of thanksgiving to Almighty God
for the many blessings vouchsafed
to us as citizens of free and pros
porous republic
President Woodrow Wilson's thanks
giving proclamation was issued last
week.
