Thanksgiving viii Sc Differel
This Year.
Dlfferel

An editorial in the November
Woman's Home Companion says:
For the first time since Aus
tria struck the match which fir
ed Europe, Americans can eat
their Thanksgiving dinner with
proud hearts and sacriicial joy.
''The three last Thanksgiving
Days were full of turkey and
plum pudding, but empty of no
bic gladness and serenity.
eve could not unconcernedly
eat our fill when thousands of
our fellow creatures were starv-
ing. We could not thank God,
with the Pharisee, that we were
not as the rest of men, because
the vision of those men-our
brotherS-lying with stiffening
wounds on the battlefield, or
sinking into the whirl of waters
while the submarine sped on its
deadly way. robbed US of our
peace of mind.
Now in this annus mirabilis,
this wonderful year of 1917,
when the soul of the nation has
spoken, when we have turned
our backs upon ease, and COM
fort, and a security at once
threatened and ignoble, we are
prepared to celebrate Thanks
giving Day with solemn piety
and purpose. We have not so
loved our lives as to lose them.
We have refused to acquisece in
wrongdoing, We have accepted
our share of responsibility for
the well-being of the civilized
world"

A Senator Who Should Go.
New York World.)

-
Although the action of the
United States Senate and its sub
committee might warrant a
different conclusion, Senator La
Toilette is not yet on trial for
treason. The charge made
against him is that he is unfit to
sit in the American Congress
during a war which he opposed
and appears still to oppose.
The latest activities of the Wis
consin Senator, who disapproves
so heartily of American self
defense against Germany, en-
brace the mailing under his
frank of hundreds of thousands
of copies of his speeches hostile
to the Liberty Loans. Govern
ment thus not only pays and
honors the author of these di.
atribes but prints and circulates
them-because he remains a Sem
ator.
A private citizen thus engaged
would Immediately encounter the
penalty. The first remedy as
against a United States Senator
is the judgment of his fellow
members. If Senator LaFol-
lette, using his place and the
official perquisites tia hin g
thereto in a treachereus attempt
to thwart the war measures of
the United States, is fit to con-
tinue as an associate of honorable
and patriotic men, what despica-
BILE behavior on the part Of a
member of the United States
Senate would bar him from that
body?

attacking in Italy entirely Tor
political reasons, while the allies
are attacking in France entirely
for military reasons.
The summing up is, in the
main, correct. The Germans
cannot hope to WIN the war by
their blow against Italy. They
may hope that by a great sue
cess in that quarter they may so
discourage the allies that peace
could be negotiated during the
present winter, but the German
staff knows as well as any other
that, if the war goes on, the
war must be decided by the out
come of the strife between the
armies now facing each other on
the plains of Flanders.
We think, however, that the
military writer of the New York
newspaper some what underestl-
mates the meaning of this drive
in Italy in so far as it relates to
Austria. If Italy is struck a
blow as will prevent her from
attacking on the Italian front
far six months tU come, Austria
is secure for the rest of the win
ter. On the Russian side the
fighting has ended. Only on
the Italian side was Austria in
danger, and that danger
seemed for time acute. 10
meet it the German staff drew
heavily from the whole Russian
front, united a dozen of the best
corps in the German army with
a similar body of fresh Austrian
troops, and rushed like a torrent
upon the Italians.
1t may be some days before
the world will know the full
meaning of the blow at Italy.
That it has partially succeeded
cannot be doubted, but, if the
Germans and Austrians accom-
plish nothing more than gaining
ground, it may be doubted if the
operation can be considered an
unqualified success.
In the meantime the fate OF
Europe is being determined in
Flanders. There the fighting
may go on for months or years,
but there the war will be decid'

Fight to End OF Chapter.


in addressing the preliminary
parliament today, said a separate
peace was impossible and that
defen Sc of Russian territory was
one of the fundamental needs.
The Foreign Minister said the
absolute independence of Cour.
land and perhaps of Poland and
Lithuania, was impossible, as it
would mean that Russia would
return to the days before Peter.
He also asserted complete de-
mobilization and disarmament
aDd naturalization of canals and
straits were impossible. Rus
sia's foreign policy had not
changed, the Minister continued
since the first statement enun-
ciating the principles of no in
IDENTITIES, no annexations and
the right of nations to self-de-
finition.
"The people must understand
that the war is being carried on
not by governments, but by ma
TONS" he added. AS the ma
tons began the fighting, so they
must end it. Russia and France
first held back the foes, and so
they continue.
M. Terestchenko declared that
the offers for separate peace
and the sentiment in favor of
them were strongest last May,
when they were followed by the
Russian offensive.
There is a rumor that the al
lies wished to leave Russia to
her fate" the Foreign Minister
continued, "but 1 state officially
that it is untrue.
"Germany's aim is to separate
Russia from the allies and if
possible, to do this by peaceful
means, in order to use Russia
economically afterward.
while the other nations al
war are unable to continue civil
industry, Germany has been SO
well organized from the begin.
ming that she has been able t.
continue her efforts to carry or
trade. She looks upon Russia
as her market. Therefore, the
defense of Russian territory is
onejof the fundamental needs
now, for if Germany gets into
Russia commercially, after the
war, we shall have no self-defni
ton afterward."
MORE PEACE TALK.
There never has been more
peace talk in Germany and Aus
tria than now," said the minis
ter. Il am confident German!
was insincere in the reported re
cent offer for the freedom O
Belgium, without the freedom o
Alsace-Lorraine, and in the in
timation that this would be he
last offer. She will make more
Germany is now concentrat

(By Review Leased Wire.) WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, August 24.-Al other considerations of a feverish week in the stock market were subordinated to conditions created by the governments price-fxing policy. Disappointment at the cut in soft coal was largely counter-balanced, however, by the more cheerful feeling created by the schedule for the antracite product.
 Action remains to be taken on such important commodities as steel, iron, copper and oils, all of which, especi' ally the latter. were much unsettled. Declines in rails other than those of the coal group. and in shippings, to- baccos and a future specialties were sympathetic, with indication of sub stantial support on the rebound.
 Foreign conditions as exemplifed by the Russian situation were again a drag. The loan of an additional hun dred million dollars to the Russian government was regarded as foreshad- owing furthere advances to other of the entente allies.
 Steady withdrawal of this country s gold, mainly by Japan, gives emphasis to reports that measures to restrict the outflow may soon be necessary. It IS realized, however, that a sudden halt in this movement might seriously de- range the foreign exchange markets.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, August 25-Trading in wheat for future delivery ceased to- day on the board of trade until after the war. September. the sole remain ing option, made a dignified exit from the market at 21112, which was F cent below final figures yesterday. Corn was subjected to selling pressure throughout the season and closed weak, 23s to 27s net lower, with De- cember at 1O7A to 1077s and May at 1O53s to 1051z Oats lost E to 1 and provisions had weak support and fin ished from 50 to no lower. Settle men prices for outstanding September contracts will be fixed by a committee appointed by the president of the board today. September prices through the session ranged between 213 and 21019.
 Unofficial reports current around the wheat pit were that the government price would be set at $2.10. Large de liveries were looked for with the de termination of the official price for wheat under government control.
 Higher corn prices expected by the trade today because of the hint of frost yesterday did not materialize.
 Offerings of oats from local houses were heavy and prices sagged with corn.
 Provisions receded at the start on stop loss selling. Further reoessions met only feeble rallies. Weakness of live hog prices contributed to the downward course of meat products.

(By Revlew Leased Wire)


 FORT SILL, Okla, Aug. 25.-Priv- ates Nelson and James Kelley of aBt- tery A, Second Missouri Field Artil- lery, were killed and others seriously injured when a shrapnel shell exploed on the cantonment range here this af- ternoon, completely wrecking the mess hall in which they were preparing their first meal after arriving at the Okla homa post.
 Four Are lnjure.
 The injured are: Privates Oakley, Bloomer. McGrew and Raymond Rose. Nelson was killed outright and Kelley died on the way to the hospital. The shell is believed to have exploded af- ter having been left partially buried on the field, by the heat of fire near by, over which the men were cooking.
 Officers Puzzled.
 Army officers were puzzled over the explosion, but agreed that it was caused by an abandoned shrapnel shell on the range which had not been used since early in 1916. On this site a mess hall had been erected.
 Stove Causes Explosion.
 The heat of the stove over which the soldiers were cooking brought on the explosion, which demolished the build ing and blew the stove high in the air. With the exception of Oakley. whose leg will have to be amputated, none of the wounded was seriously injured.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Prepara- tions made today by senate leaders for next weeks discussion of the war tax bill presaged one of the most deter mined and spectacular struggles of the war session.
 Amendment Certain.
 The bill was not taken up today, the senate recessing after a brief ses- sion until Monday for conferences of those prominent in the fight for and against further increases. Material amendment of the bill was regarded as certain, with the amount of tax in- creases expected to be the crux of next weeks contest.
 Postage Tax Over.
 Consideration of the postage tax, scheduled for today, went over until Monday. By Wednesday these sec tions, including the special income tax on publishers and various proposals for increasing second-class mail rates probably will be out of the way.
 War Profits Next.
 The war profits section of the bill, Senator Simmons stated tonight. is to follow the postage sections and on Monday or as soon as possible there after he plans a determined effort to have a definite date fixed for a vote both on profits taxes and the entire bill.

GEO. NORMAN AND
 WHITE TOO GOOD FOR TROY PLAYERS

The presence of Chris Leonard at center and the peppery work of White and Norman enabled the Blue Rib! bons to beat, the crack Troy five at Colonial hall last night by 28 to "A. It was an exciting game which was thor oughly enjoyed by the crowd. The Ribbons played much better than on Tuesday night.
 The passing of the locals was bril- liant throughout and the Troy ex- perts also displayed much skill in this department. Joe Dreyfuss, who was away off form on Tuesday, put up a fine article of ball last night. He guarded his man closely and also caged two from the floor in 2 : -ition to getting three foul losses. White also displayed startling reversal and threw four baskets during the even ing.
 { He and Norman got busy as soon as the pastime started. Norman Scaged two soon after the contest be- gan and White followed with one The Ribbons continued their fast pace and led by IS to 13 when the period ended. In the second session the Trojans tried to overcome the lead but the fine blocking of Dreyfuss and Chief Muller starred for Troy while Leonard managed to check the dan gorous Leary.
