Petrograd, Oct 1s.-The government
has definitely decided to move to MOS

papers publish an official announcement
that the evacuation Of the fortified port
OF Reval, on the Baltic at the entrance
to the gulf in Finland, has begun.
The schools of Reval have been
closed. The inhabitants Of the city are
being sent to the interior Of Russia
Announcement that the government

Fear Attack From Sea.
rAfter the capture OF Riga by the
Germans preparations for the removal
Of the government to Moscow was be-
gun. The failure Of the Germans to
develop their offensive after taking
Riga, as well as the approach Of win
ter weather, relieved the fears for the
safety Of Petrograd for the near fu-
ture. Last week announcement was
made that the preparations for trans
ferring the seat Of government had
peen stopped, as there was no prospect
that such action would be necessary,
at least for some time. The new Of
fensive operations by the Germans re-
sulting in the capture Of Oesel and
Moon islands and the threat Of an in
vasion Of Esthonia again changed the
situation, however. and may be re-
sponsible for the decision to remove
I the government to Moscow, the ancient
capital. The turbulent political condi-
tions in Petrograd and the presence
there Of large numbers Of extremists
and agitators may also have Influenced
the cabinet. Reval, town Of about
g., 900 population, 200 miles southwest
Of Petro&rad. was a naval station, and
with Helsingfors and Hango, on the
northern coast Of the gulf Of Finland,
guards the approaches to the gulf. The

Why We Give Thanks
BY PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON

with us as well as our own. A new
light shines about us. The great du-
ties of new day awaken new and
greater national spirit in us. We shall
never again be divided or wonder what
stuff we are made Of.
And, while we render thanks for
these things, let US pray Almighty
God that in all humbleness of spirit
we may look always to Him for guild
ance; that we may be kept constant
in the spirit and purpose of service;
that by His grace our minds may be
directed and our hands strengthened:
and that in His good time liberty and
security and peace and the comrade-
ship of a common justice may be
vouchsafed all the nations of the
earth.
Wherefore, |, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the goth day of November next.
S day of thanksgiving and prayer:
nd invite the people through the lal:G
to cease upon that day from their or
binary occupations and in their sew
eral homes and places of worship to
render thanks to God, the great ruler
of nations.
In witness whereof / have hereunto
ct my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be offiXed.
Done in the District of Columbia

A PROCLAM NATION.

1t has long been the honored Gus
tom of our people to turn in the fruit
ful autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His many blessings and merces to
'us as a nation. That custom we can
follow even in the midst of the trag-
edy of world shaken by war and i'm
measurable disaster, in the midst Of
sorrow and great peril, because even
amidst the darkness that has gathered
about US we can see the great bles-
sings God has bestowed upon US, bles-
sings that are better than mere peace
of mind and prosperity of enterprise.
We have been given the opportu-
nifty to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves IN the great day of
our Declaration of independence, by
taking up arms against tyranny
that threatened to master and debase
men everywhere and joining with
other free peoples in demanding for
all the nations of the world what we
then demanded and obtained for our
selves. In this day of the revelation
of our duty not only to defend our
own rights as nation, but to defend
also the rights of free men through
out the world, there has been vouch-
safer us in full and inspiring meas
IRE the resolution and spirit of unit
ed action. We have been brought to
one mind and purpose. A new vigor
of common counsel and common action
has been revealed in US. We should
especially thank God that in such cir
cumstances, in the midst of the great
est enterprise the spirit of men have
ever entered upon, we have, if we but
observe a reasonable and practicable
economy, abundance with which to
supply the needs of those associated
