SECRETARY LANSING MAKES PUB
Lie CONTENTS OF TWO NOTES
FROM NOTORIOUS GERMAN.
Messages Provide Official Confirmation
of Germanys Plan to Control
~ Southern Brazil and Finally
Latin-America.

! Washington.-Two more of the no
toriOus Count Won Luxburgs messages
to the German foreign office from
Buenos Aires were made public Tues
day night by Secretary Lansing. They
provide official confirmation of Ger
many's plan TO control southern Brazil
shed additional light upon Teutonic
intrigue in South America generally
and reveal that Luxburg appealed
vainly for squadron of submarines
with which to awe some Latin-Ameri-
cans and to flatter others with sa-
lutes.
These dispatches, like others that
have gone before, were given out by
Secretary Lansing without discussion
of their contents. The only comment
was in this statement attached to the
copies:
''In view of the fact that the sub
stance of certain kilograms addressed
by Count Luxburg to the German
foreign office has been published, the
secretary of state makes public the
actual text of the kilograms"
ASKED Tor submarines.
The message follows:
No. GO. July Z, 1917 Our attitude
toward Brazil has created the inn
preston here that our easy-going good
nature can be counted on. This is
dangerous in South America, where
the pople under thin veneer are In

powers to me might probably still save
the situation. l request Instructions

After the state department made

CLOSE TO HEARTS
OF ALL AMERICANS
P Particular Reason Why Thanks
giving Day Should Be Gen.
orally Celebrated Here.

1--WE Of the oldest and best beloved
holidays in the whole year
~ comes to us this week-oldest in
our history because the Puritan
fathers celebrated 1t when they did
not celebrate Christmas, best beloved
because 1t Is a holiday all our own.
typically American through and
through. Nations all over the world
celebrate Christmas. New Years and
Easter Even our Independence day
has It's echo In the French July II, but
Thanksgiving day Is the entire proper
ty Of the American people. and per-
haps this adds the extra luster which
makes It q day apart In the heart Of
every citizen.
Its origin was in the farms, where
the harvest season was closed with
day set aside for the giving Of thanks
for the crops Just harvested. In real
lty It Is national harvest festival. but
its meaning has come to cover more
than just the harvest season alone.
Now this holiday Is accorded US for
the rendition OF thanks for the bless
ings Of the entire year.
We find that during the Revolution
the observance Of this day for giving
thanks had become so general that
congress recommended each year a
Thanksgiving day. This was an an.
nual occurrence until the end of the
war, when day was set aside in
1854, for rendering thanks for the re-
turn Of peace. Again In 1850 Wash
ington appointed day of thanksgiving
for the adoption Of the Constitution.
1t was In this year also that the Epis-
copal church formally recognized the
right of the civil government to rec
omlnend such feast day.

Standish1 and Others"
Such Ia the historic record Of the
frst Thanksgiving in Plymouth colony
291 years ago. Less than a year before
the Mayflower, bearing its little band
Of 1902 Pilgrims. anchored off the rock
bound New England coast. Alone in
the toundless wilderness of the New
World the heroic Puritans struggled
through the relentless winter, battling
with snow and wind, savage foes, hun.
ger. sickness. and death itself. In
three months their number was almost
one-half of the entire company. But
with the spring time life looked more
kindly upon the exiles; summer smiled
on their corn fields. and autumn
brought abundant harvest. A few little
dwellings had been built, and prepa-
rations had been made for others, max
ing tiny oasis of homes on the desert
Of the New World. Then 1t was that
Governor Bradford issued his first
proclamation. and the Pilgrims and
their Indian guests partOok Of that

As a matter of fact, the fami-
liar pink two-cent stamp and the
equally familiar one-cent stamp
will be doing duty now just as
regularly as ever, post office au-
thorities said.
1t is the purpose of the De-
partment to use all the two-cent
stamps it has on hand. While
huge quantities of the purple
three-cent stamps will be pro-
vided to meet the demand. the
two-cent and one-cent stamps
will be just as good as ever, and
will be printed as Of yore.
A two-cent stamp plus a one
cent stamp on letter mailed out
Of town is just as efficient and
beloved by the canceling ma
chimes as is a single three-cent
letter. The big point is to get
the requisite amount of post
age on your letter.
The new law is not going to
make an exile of the two-cent
stamp, nor ban the one-cent
stamp to the collection books of
the stamp collectors.
The two-cent stamp will be
used on all post cards, no matter
whether they have messages
written on them or are of the ia
miliar picture post card variety.
The Post Office Department
will endeavor to help the public
in readjusting itself to the new
rates. It is expected that many
persons, for a time at least, will
put only two cents worth of
stamps on letter instead of
three cents worth, as required.
In such cases the postal au-
thorities will return letters lack
ing sufficient postage, if the
sender has placed his name and
address in the upper left-hand
corner of the envelope.
In case the sender has omitted
to put his name and address on
the envelope, post Offices will
send the letter on to the one to
whom it is addressed, and make
the latter pay the additional
postage required.
Letters and other first-class
matter prepaid less than 2 cents
will be treated as prescribed by
section 545 of the Postal Laws
and Regulations. If the letter
has the address of the sender on
it, it will be returned to the
sender for payment Of the post
age lacking. If the letter lacks
the address of the sender on the
outside. a card will be sent the
addressee notifying him that the
postal authorities hold a letter
for him which will be sent upon
receipt of the deficient postage.

NEW POSTAGE RATE WITH
COMPARISONS

Those who think the three
cent rate for letters which went
into effect November 2 is pref
ty steep. should have lived in
these United States during Ci-
vii War days.
Postal rates under the new
law are exactly half what the
rates were in 1863, Supt. William
C. Wood, of the Division of Clas-
sification of the Post Office De-
partment, pointed out.
The new rate calls for 3 cents
per ounce on letters sent out of
town. BY act of Congress Of
March 3. 1863, the rate of post
age on domestic letters not ex-
ceeding one-half ounce in weight
was fixed at 3 cents, and 3 cents
for each additional half ounce or
fraction thereof.
Notice that half ounce"
It was 3 cents a half ounce
then, whereas under the rates
which are now in effect the rate
is but 3 cents per ounce.
In 1863, when one sent a let
ter weighing an ounce. he paid
6 cents therefor.
Under the new law when you
send a letter weighing an ounce
you will pay 3 cents for its trans
initial to any distance outside of
your city.
The act of March 3, 1863. was
the first law which established
a uniform rate of postage on let
tiers, regardless of distance trans
mitted.
It was not until March 3, 1883,
that an act was passed again
changing the rates of postage.
First-class matter was then re-
duced to 2 cents a half ounce, or
fraction thereof, the law taking
effect October l, 1883.
Still the inhabitants paid 4
cents an ounce Il cent more than
citizens are paying now.
The act of Congress of March
3. 1885, reduced the rate of post
age on first-class matter on and
after July l. 1885. to 2 cents for
each ounce or fraction thereof,
and fixed the rate for drop let
tiers at 2 cents an ounce or frac-
ton thereof. including delivery
at letter carrier Offices. and l
cent for each ounce or fraction
thereof where free delivery by
carrier was not established.
And there the rates stood un-
til this present law.
In the face Of these facts. will
it be so hard to pay 3 cents an
ounce for the splendid transmit
tai Of letters afforded by Uncle
Sam?
Should any hard-hearted per,
son still crouch about the new
rates. the Post Office Depart
ment would like to send him
back to the year 1892 when the
first act was passed relating tc
rates of potage.
For every single letter con
veyed not exceeding thirty miles
