Thanksgiving

President Wilson in his Thanks
giving Proclamation makes no at
tempt to recount thespecific things
for which the Nation at this time
has caused to be grateful. Had he
particularized doubtless he would
of given the result of the Second
Liberty Loan a prominent place
among those things for which the
Nation should be thankful.
For the great result of the Sec
ond Liberty Loan campaign, with
nearly 100000 Americans rally
ing to the financial support of the
Nation and subscribing over four
and half billion dollars for the
purchase of Liberty Loan bonds,
is a cause for deep thanksgiving
in the heart of loyal Americans.
President Wilson says the Ma
ton should be thankful that we
have been given the opportunity
to serve mankind as we once SER
we'd ourselves in the great day of
our Declaration of independence
by taking up arms against the tyr
amy that threatened to master
and debase men anywhere.
So, too, can all subscribers to
the Liberty Loan be thankful that
they have been given an oppor-
tunlty to aid in this great mission
of America and have done their
part toward giving to the world |
liberty and justice and security
from the tyranny that threatens to
master and debase all nations and
all men.
Every purchaser of a Liberty
Loan Bond has struck a blow for
human liberty and for Cultivation
and humanity. Let them remem-
Der this on Thursday, the goth day,
of November, and be thankful.

HEARTY BREAKFAST IS 0. K.
French Medical Professor Urges Euro peans to Follow Example of
 Americans.

Bordeaux, France.-The American breakfast of ham and eggs, liver and bacon. beefsteak or other meat, vege- tables and porridge, as a substitute for the meager European morning meal, Is recommended for France by Doctor Bergonie. professor of the Bordeaux medical faculty.
 Doctor Bergonie regards this substi- tuition as one of the reforms most like ly to relieve the economic situation, by providing rational nourishment and avoiding great deal of waste.
 He bases his argument on the fact that man requires sustenance most at the beginning of the day when he is about to make his effort, whereas in Europe he takes his principal meal when his days work is half through. when he Is half tired out and is in- capable of so dlgesting his meal as to give him proper support for the rest of the days work.

the poorly outfitted and trained Rou- manian peasants. When the third year of the war opened the battle of the Somme was still going on vigorously. with the French and British showing n constantly growing superiority over the foe. Bit by bit through the summer and autumn the ground was wrenched from the kaiser's men until the coming of winter smothered the offensive Gin mud and blood" and, according to the British commander, Sir Douglas Haig, saved his opponents from an immedi- ate great enforced retirement.
 On September 22 1t was announced that the French and British had taken 55,S00 prisoners in the Somme battle between July and September IS. This total was later considerably increased.
 French Win at Verdun.
 At Ferdun, too. the Germans suf- fered. The French In battles of the fall and winter won back most of the ground lost in the offensive of the spring of 1916 and captured more than 15,000 prisoners, with slight losses themselves.
 The spring campaign in the west opened this war with the Germans falling back from the great salient spearpoint directed at Paris-confess- ing thereby either their weakness or their aversion to q further offensive. al- though at the time German writers hInted darkly that Von Hindenburg had something up his sleeve"
 The strategic retirement" began about March IT, and the Teutons tri- umphantly declared 1t would prevent an allied offensive this year. But they spoke too soon.
 On April 9 the British stormed high Vimy Ridge, taking on this and sue ceeding days about 12,000 prisoners. The other enemy stronghold along the British line was Messines Ridge, south of Ypres. This the British blew up by London. They captured 5000 prison- CTS the first day of the offensive and many others later.
 French Gain Hills.
 Below the sector of the German re- tirement the French were equally sue cessful. On April 16 they started a great offensive which resulted in the dominating Ladies road" falling into their hands, besides important posi- tions In Champagne. Their prisoners the first two days totalled 17,000. On May 6, along the Aisne, they took 6,100 captives and gained points from which they looked down on the foe, as the British did farther north.
 It should be noted here, however, that the French losses were severe, resulting in the replacement of Nivelle as commander In chief by Petain.
 The last twelvemonth in the Italian campaign has witnessed series of costly reverses for the Austrians, but the Italians have been prevented from following up their successes by the very difficult terrain, the beaten Teu- tons falling back after each defeat to new mountain positions most difficult to attack.
 Italians Take Gorizla.
 On August 8. 1916, the Italians stormed the stubbornly defended Go- rizia bridgehead on the Isonzo river, taking about 10000 prisoners, and they followed this success the next day by seizing the city of Gorizia and increasing the number of their cap- lives.
 The Italians launched a new offen- sive the first days of November and on November they announced that their prisoners since the fall of Go- rizia tOtaled 40,365.
