ing proclamation was issued by Gov- ernor Marcus H. Holcomb today It follows:
 State of Connecticut,
 By His Excelency
 Marcus H. Holcomb, Governor. A Proclamation:
 At time when bitter suffering has become the common lot of much of the world and anxiety is gnawing at the hearts of many of us there is no room for the light-hearted rejoicing which has so often marked the conn., ing of the Thanksgiving season. For our full lives. for all our thrOhbing commercial life. we have abundant reason for thankfulness, but we see in them now, not a goal attained. only the means to an infinitely nobler and greater end. They, whose battle is our battle, look to us for armament and sustenance. Largely we can give, for largely has 1t been given unto us He, who has made the way straight for us, who has given unto us courage to raise the flag of battle, who has in- spired us with faith in ultimate vio- tory, has wonderfully strengthened our arms for the conflict. For that we owe Him thanks. But to Him, to our country, to the high cause which we have made our own, to the devo- tion of those who are offering their lives as sacrifices upon the altar of that cause, We owe more than thanks. Ou1s is the duty to see that these resources which have been made ready for us shall be SO husbanded, so shaped, so used that they may at tain the greatest possible effect.
 On Thursday, November the twenty-ninth, which old custom marks as day of Thanksgiving, let each of us then, reverently and sin cerely, return thanks to God for His gifts to us, but let us also, there in His presence, no less reverently and sincerely steel our hearts in the firm resolve that no word or deed of ours shall dull the weapon TIo has sha ped to our hands.
 Given under my hand and seal of the state nt the capitol, in Hartford, this sixteenth day of November. in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and seventeen. and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and forty second

He wanted to wait until night but finally agreed to make the trip by daylight. 1 went and called Col. kish- kofH, of the Tenth Don Cossacks and ordered him to appoint guard ot eight men.

 An enemy shell hit an American gun today and caused casualties. Some D, of the men wounded in the last two days have died.
 The American batteries have been firing rapidly in return. The visbil- ity is becoming better, and it is con- sidered certain that more damage and casualties have been caused in the German lines than the Germans have inflicted on the Americans.
 The American troops today had their first view of an aerial encounter. Three enemy airplanes appeared over- head. Soon all but one of them fled at the approach of French machines. One of the French out-maneuvered this German and "got on his tail" The Germas aviator then bolted. The rattle of machine guns finally died away the two airplanes disappeared to the west.
 \ The French general commanding the sector has mentioned in the despatch es fifteen American officers and SOL diers, including three who were killed, for excellent military qualities and for bravery displayed in a recent trench raid. A note accompanying the citations says that between 8,OOOO and 10 900 shells were used in the att ~tack, which had been in operations for three months down to the finest details. The results obtained by the enemy were very small, he having been unable to penetrate more than the first line trenches because of the resistance of the Americans with rifles and pistol fire and hand gren- ndes The enemy had to content him. self. the citation continues, with car rying off a few prisoners

 Forty states were represented ct the conference and four governors at tended person, Milliken of Maine, Frazier Of North Dakota, Profit of Rhode Island and Harris Of Georgia, Many of the representatives blamed the high prices 0 nmiddlemen and on poor transportation methods. Some thought there was TO actual food shortage and deplored the publicity given Go reports of a poor wheat crop. H0arding by housewives and others they sa q, had taken mech food from the markets and had added to gen eral hysteria.
 Governor Frazier declared there Wa something wrong with distributing systems when farmers last fall re- ceived less than one dollar a busbe for potatoes and saw them sold a. re- tail this bring at more than five dollars.
 The state representatives were asked by the trade commission to lend their assistance in the investiga- tion by furnishing information con. cern.ng law violations Most cf them wi remain here over Wednesday for a conference with the Council of Ma tional Defence
