| %-HANKSGIVING
By REV. JAMES M. FAIR

Thanksgiving is not a day; it is
a habit. We cannot oe thankful
on Thanksgiving day unless we
have been learning how every
other day in the year. There
are some simple rules: Walk
on the sunny side of the street;
live as much as possible in the
best room in the house; think
about your friends, not your
enemies; talk about your good
luck, not your bad. These are
some of the ways of acquiring
the spirit of cheerfulness which
is the only soil on which the
flower Thanksgiving" will grow.

Land" and ambushed a large German
patrol killing and wOunding a number
Of men to even up for the trench raid
in which their comrades suffered.
There was little change in positions
on the west front The Germans made
repeated and desperate efforts TO re-
take PasSchendaele ridge but were
benten off with severe losses every
time.
Interesting news continued TO come
from General Allenby In Palestine.
His forces after taking GAIA, kept
pushing on toward Jerusalem, driving
the Turks and taking large booty from
them. on "Wednesday the British were
threatening Hebron and had advanced
along the coast to within a few miles
Of Jaffa.

Sur -rine Campaign Failing.

If the British admiralty figures are
a fair basis for calculation, the Ger
man submarine campaign Is declining
rapidly toward utter failure. The
weeks report showed only one large
British vessel sunk by U-bOatS, and
the statements from France and Italy
were almost as good. one German
military expert admits in print that
the U-boat warfare has failed. The
importance of this development cannot
be- overpstimated, for If the kaiser
could have prevented wholly or in large
measure the transportation of supplies
and troops from America to Europe,
he could hardly have been defeated.
If he cannot do that, as seems true,
the utter collapse Of his war on civil
liZntion Is almost In sight.
Notwithstanding the hundreds Of in
vcntious to combat the submarine the
well equipped and swift destroyer re-
mains the best weapon against the sub
mcrSible. OF this type of boat the al
lies, and especially America have 81
vast number, and Japan has a fleet of
capable destroyerS operating in the
Mediterranean.

Mr.. Wilson and Organized Labor.

President Wilson went to Buffalo TO
address the annual convention of the
American Federation Of Labor, and he
told the delegates fOrcefully yet tact
fully what he considered the duty, re
Sponsiblity and privilege of labor es-
pccially during the continuance OF the
war He earnestly pleaded for the
unhlndered maintenance of all proc
csseS of labor until Germany has been
defeated and tho first response to that
plea came Tuesday when the building
trades department Of the federation or
dercd the discontlnuance of all strikes
on government work under It's iuriS-
diction This was excellent so far as
II went but another big labor trouble
SprNng up Immediately when the rail
road brotherhoods took action that
threatened to tie up traffic unless
higher wages and improved conditions
were granted Mr.. Wilson again
Jumped into the breach and arranged
TO meet representatives Of the brother
hoods on November %, first intimating
strongly Tint rather than endure
paralysis Of traffic in wartime, the gov
ernment would take over the operation
Of the railroads.
The labo~ situation Is really very
serious, not only because Of strikes
actual and threatened. but also be-
cnuse Of the great shortage of labor
ing men. In order 10 get out the milf
tary equipment needed by the United
Stntes forces in the next - months,
the council Of national defense is mr.
ranging for the mobilization of 100000
skilled and unsklled workmen under
