The sun still shone bright and
warm, it really seemed as tho winter
had forgotten to come that year. But
one night the sun set dark, q cold
wind began to blow down from the
north, and the sky was of a dd1l grey
color. Before morning Jack Frost
began to bite. the wind blew colder
yet. and before it went little scurries
of snow-winter had surely come at
last. Then Miss Pussy Willow was in
the deepest distress. The little house
was unfinished. she. had no roof on IT,
so the wind and snow came in, and
try as she might she could hot keep
warm. She shiyered and shook

much as she could, but all awaited her
nothing. To end it all she caught q

And oh! how she wished and longed
for spring. But winters all corne 20

winter was yet a long way off she
looked very sober and gazed up at the

to build, pussy had her house almost
finished whei the others had done

Become More Than Brothers.
Doctor Loewy came to America two
months age with DR.. Alexis Carer, IN
ventor of the famous Carrel treatment
for wounds. He is lecturing thruout
this country.
.tWhen men live on~the battlefield
together they become something more
than comrades, more than brothers.
There is no word to call it; it is the
great love" said Lieutenant Loewy.
"Your soldiers were kissed by my fell
low countrymen. They don't like it
but they don't understand My men
who know this great love-to them 1t

must have some way to show this new

More Germans will survive the war;
and naturally fewer of the French and
Belgians and Alsatians. who have no
right to live because they persist in
loving their own civilization. German
soldiers have revolted at the awful
science when the slaves were taken.
For when a man or woman goes to
slavery he goes to death But the
German soldiers taking these slaves at
the bayOnet knew that their revolt was
chicken hearted. They knew that the
enSlaVement was the best thing for the
world, so they prodded mothers with
the bayonet who would shelter their
daughters. and shot protesting fathers
who tried to hide their sons But not
in anger were these deeds doneI They
were done in cold blood, because
mountains of vanity backed by a ma
terialistic philosophy justified these
bloody deeds and made the1n heroic.
That is why Germany struck off
medals celebrating the sinking of the
Lusitania.
Systematic Bombing of Hospitals.
Last summer the Germans began a
systematic and thoro series of air raids
on the base hospitals of the allies.
Every moonlight night the "Boche"
came over and dropped bombs on the
hospitals, killing scores and scores of
doctors and nurses, and killing hum
dreds of wounded soldiers-some of
the Boche came early in the evening
and dropped his first bomb. A Ger
man airman taken prisoner the day
ebefore died of fright when the first
bomb came, for he knew what to ex-
pect. An hour later they came again,
dropping more tombstone of the
bombs being incendiary bombs. Soon
the hospital was ablaze. Again the
Boche came and dropped more bombs.
and again until three o'clock in the
morning. Then he dropped a lot of
handbills warning the allies that if
they did not want their hospitals
bombed to move them further from
the trenches
The Vadlincourt hospital was then
about seven or eight miles from the
front That hospital was about 500
feet square, built around compound.
and inside the compound was a great
Red Cross about ninety feet square
made of red canvas and whitewashed
stones. Also each wing of the hos

Asks bat Fright inc Truth Shall
TriU ph So Son Of God Shall Not
Had Suffered Death In Vain"

Western fewspape Union News Service.
Santa Fe.-Governor w. T.. Lindsey
has issued the following Thanksgiving
proclamation:
The promise Of the Jehovah God is
that, while the earth remaineth,
seed-time and harvests shall not
cease" and in that ancient time, He
commanded His people to appear be-
fore Him to celebrate the feast Of the
full harvest which was in the end Of
the year when they had gathered in
their labors out~of field" The insti-
tuition Of an annual thanksgiving to
Almighty God for the blessings Of the
harvest was first celebrated on this
continent by the Pilgrim Fathers in
1921 even after more than one-half Of
their original number had, within a
year, persisted of cold, hunger and
disease incident thereto.
Annually since that date It has been
the custom Of the people Of our ma
ton, in the fall Of the year, to OBJ
serve a feast day and a day of thanks
giving to the Lord God for His mercies
and blessings bestowed upon us as
individuals, as states, and as a nation.
In this crisis year Of our nations
history when It appear sthat the des-
tiny of liberty is in greater jeopardy
than ever before, we have been, upon
the whole, blessed with an abundant
harvest. For this we may give thanks
unto God that He has kept the cove
nant even unto us. May we also on
this annual feast and thanksgiving day
fervently beseech Him for the grant
of such power and wisdom as shall
enable us as a people and a nation to
extend the blessings of liberty under
law to ever nation and to every peo-
pie upon the earth.
Now therefore, I, ". E. Lindsey,
governor of the state of New Mexico,
in accordance with the honored Gus
tom, do proclaim Thursday, November
goth, 1917, Thanksgiving Day in the
state Of New Mexico.
Particularly on this day ought we
to beseech Almighty God to accomp-
lish His kingdom in earth even as 1t
is in Heaven out of the a~rbitrament
of the sword in the world-war now
waging. That in this first world con-
test between the powers Of might and
darkness on the one hand and the
powers of right and truth on the
other, right and truth shall triumph
so that the Son Of God shall not have
suffered death upon the cross in vain,

Washington, Nov. 26.-sinking OF a
German submarine by an American de-
stroyer with the capture Of five off
GERS and about thirty-five men was re-
ported to the Navy Department by
Vice Admiral Sims. The submarine
itself was all but captured, the Ger
mans sinking It by opening the valves
after officers and crew had swarmed
to the deck of the U-boat with cries OF
"Kamerad!" One German member OF
the crew was killed and another sus-
tanned wounds from which he died af-
ter being taken aboard one of the de-
stroyers.
The Navy Department in an official
statement made no reference to the
prisoners taken.
It was subsequently, learned that
the depth charge smashed the horizon
tal rudder of the submarine, causing
# to rise to the top; that the officers
and crew swarmed on deck with cries
Of surrender after the destroyers had
opened fire, but that some of the crew
after they had surrendered opened the
valves and sank the boat.
The prisoners were taken on board
one of the destroyers and taken to a
foreign port. One of the dead was
given a military funeral at sea.
These are the first naval prisoners
taken in an engagement at sea by the
