Day Of Thanksgiving and Prayer
Sees New National Spirit.

Washington. Nov. 8.-President Will

ut has long been the honored GUS
tom Of our people to turn in the fruit
full autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for his
many blessings and mercies to us as a
nation. That custom we can follow
now even in the midst of the tragedy
of world shaken by war and immeas-
urable disaster, in the midst of Sorrow
and great peril, because even amidst
the darkness that has gathered about
us we can see the great blessings God
has bestowed upon us, blessings that
are better than mere peace Of mind
and prosperity of enterprise.
''We have been brought to one mind
and purpose. A new vigOr of COM
mon counsel and common action has
been revealed. We should especially
thank God that in such circumstances,
in the midst of the greatest enterprise
the spirits of men have ever entered
upon, we have if we but observe q
reasonable and practically economy,
abundance with which to supply the
needs of those associated with us. as
we'll as our own.
"a new light shines about us. The
great duties of new day awaken a
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 guidance (;
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 peace and
the comradeship of q 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,
as a day of thanksgiving and prayer,
ana invite lHe people tlifougHOuI the
land to cease upon that day from their

eral homes and places Of worship to
render thanks to God, the great ruler
of nations.

CANADA HAS PARK
Permanent Playground Estao-
Iished in Rocky Mountains.
uiohest Peak, Glaciers, Forest Tract
Streams and Valleys Form Attrac-
tive Features of the Resort

Canada is following the example OF
tbe United States in setting aside tracts
of her Rocky mountain region as per-
manent Fairgrounds for the people.
The latest of these is Jasper PARK, Tar
mn in the wild Northwest, where the
play is still too rough to attract any
great hordes of urban jewellers, but
which is one of the most beautiful bits
of mountain scenery in the world. me
building of the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroad had good deal to do with the
setting aside of Jasper park.
In Jasper park they have fenced IN
the highest mountain in Canada, an I'M
mense tract of virgin forest ana NIL
country, a miscellaneous assortment OF
nameless glaciers of various sizes, hair
a dozen big trout streams and num-
berless little green valleys that look as
though they were laid out by land
scape gardener. That the park is still
difficult of access and calls for pioneer
ing methods in it's exploration is only
another recommendation in the eyes
OF the lover of the out-of-doors. Here
also certain important rivers take a
humble start in life-Such prominent
streams as the Saskatchewan and the
Columbia.
The land looks as untouched and as
primitive as Virginia must have APP
peared to John Smith, but as matter
of fact 1t has long and romantic his
tory whose record is still to be writ
ten. And may the man who writes It
WELD skilful pen and may he possess
a real imagination, for his subject de-
serves it. This region lay for centuries
on the boundary of the preserves Of
two great fur countries-the HudsOn's.
Bay and the Great Western. Here they
fought battles without number for the
trapping rights-skirmishes between
man and man instead OF between mil
lions and millions, but all the more
full of daring, of strategy, and of adj
venture for that. And there, too, was
a favorite hunting ground of those free
lances of the wilderness, the free
traders, who committed the ultimate
pany, and many of whom paid for it
with their lives. These cold, green
glaciers have seen a thousand thrilling
dramas played out years before the
explorers" came, for the trappers
were too busy to publish accounts Of
what they found. They were after fur.
Nevertheless, in Canada as in the
"states," they were the men who really
opened the West.

"The cage is sheathed with iron on
the outer walls and the door, and the
windows are provided with steel cur
tains, counter-weighted, which can be
lowered for complete protection. In
the bottom of each steel curtain is q
trap or hinged box which can be swung
inside or outside without at any time
affording direct opening into the
room. Cash is placed in the trap on
the outside, which is swung in to give
the cashier access to it. A small peck
hole with Sliding cover Is provided
just above the trapdoor."

j. s. men REACH
ENGLAND FOR BIG
WAR CONFERENCE
Delegation Headed by Col. House
Arrives Safe.
MEET TO BE HELD IN PARIS
Gathering Is to Be "War Conference"
With Object of Co-Ordinating All
Fighting Forces Against
Common Enemy.

Washington, Nov. S.-America's mis-
sion to the allies conference in Paris
has arrived safely in England.
Announcement to this effect was
made on Wednesday at the state de-
partment, with the comment that the
gathering is to be 'war conference"
with the object of co-ordinating all the
fighting forces against the common
enemy.
The personnel Of the mission in
cludes:
Col. Edward M. House of New York.
Admiral w. s. Benson, chief of naval
operations Gen. 'Tasker HI. Bliss, chief
of staff of the United States; Oscar T.
Crosby, assistant secretary Of the
treasury Vance o. Mccormick, chair
man of the war trade board; Balm
bridge Colby. United States shipping
board; DR., Alonzo e. Taylor, repre-
senting the food controller; Thomas
Nelson Perkins, representing the prior
ity board; Gordon Auchincloss, as Sec
rotary.
Outlines ParIey's Aims.
To set all speculation concerning the
mission at rest Secretary Lansing is
sued the following statement:
1.-THE conference is essentially war
conference with the object of perfect
ing more complete coordination of
the activities Of the various nations en-
gagged in the conflict and a more COM
prehensive understanding of their re-
spective needs in order that the joint
efforts of the co-belligerents may at
tain the highest war efficiency.
while definite program has not
been adopted, it may be assumed that
the subjects to be discussed will en-
brace not only those pertaining to
military and naval operations. but also
the financial, commercial, economic
and other phases of the present situa-
ton which are of vital Importance to
the successful prosecution of the war.
There will undoubtedly be an effort
to avoid any conflict of interests among
the participants; and there is every
reason to anticipate that the result will
be fuller cooperation and conse-
Quently much higher efficiency and a
more vigorous prosecution Of the war.
1.-THE United States, in the employ
ment of its man power and material re-
sources, desires to use them to the
greatest advantage against Germany.
