THANKSGIVING.

From the time of the landing OF the
Pilgrim fathers, Americans have been
accustomed to set aside one day in
H the year to take stock in the dealings
Of Providence with us as people.
4 What was at first the spontaneous
expression of gratitude soon became
v q. custom and, as the years sped by,
4 the custom became fixed, until today
Sit assumes the sacredness OF perma-
nent institution.
This season is again with us. The
fruits of the broad acres OF our fair
domain have been garnered in. the
warehouses and granaries are fairly
bursting with their contents and pros
perity sets a guest at nearly every
fireside.
Our president and the governors Of
the various states have designated the
day upon which the people shall en-
press to bountiful Creator their graf
itude for these blessings.
But while we have these palpable
blessings for which to be thankful, we
have other things for which to express
our gratitude. We have to be thank
full that back in the days when our
nation was being born, land OF
+ lleroes-than whom the world has new
II ers produced greater-was impressed
upon their hearts to lay the founda-
tons of that nation upon the only pos
sible true and lasting base-the Faith
erhood Of an omnipotent God and the
brotherhood of man. 49,.
We have to be thankful that all
down the years since that time there
have been heroic souls-worthy sons
Of noble sires-who have never ceased
to call to us with clarion voices to
watch and preserve the old landmarks,
to plant our feet upon the everlasting
rock and stand firm. !
The one supreme blessing for which
we should at this season return thanks
IS the fact that our God has enabled
us as a people to know and to do the
right Let our prayer be that it may
be ever thus with this people; that
by His grace our minds may be d.
,rected 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
youchsafed all the nations OF the
earth.

veXes the men In control Of the Government.
The bulletin of the Council of Workmens S
and Soldiers Deputies, which virtually
controls the Government, said today that
this note must he absolutely clear. II goes
further by indicating that the all-powerful
council win see to it that peace ncgota-
tions are begun Immediately if the note is
not satisfactory
The declaration is virtually a demand
that the Allies accept the war aims Of the
Russians.
It is significant that newspapers, In com
menting upon the peace attitude OF the
council refer to India and Ireland and their
relationship to Great Britain.
After quoting English newspapers to the
effect that the Russian peace formula
comedies with the Anglo-French war aims,
the official bulletin Of the Council of Work
mems and Soldiers Deputies says:
You are deCciving yourselves, gentle
men. or rather, you are vainly striving
to delude your fellow COuntrymen con-
Cerning the real policy Of the Russian
revolution. The revolution will not sacri-
flee a single soldier TO help you repair the
historic injustices" committed against

so anxious for justice that you are pre-
pared i'm its name to send millions of
people to the grave, then, gentlemen,

It is necessary that our Allies reply
distinctly and clearly yes or no with re-
gard to the '.o-anneXation formula. II
yes then there should Immediately follow
an offer to start peace negotiations. If
no. then the Allied Governments take
canal resnonsibi1itv on themselves with
the Teutonc Powers for continuance of
the war.
The statements of the French and
British Governments i'm their Parlaments,
Notwithstanding all their greetings. do
not satisfy and cannot satisfy the Rus
sian Revolutionary Democracy our Min
isters will see that there is brought about
a position of clearness that will not allow
the question of war or peace to be sunk
in the waters of diplomatic evasion.

Constantine I reject all idea Of re-
Conciliation firmly, fatty and finally.
The King, who is in constant secret
relations with Germany, has trOdden
under foot the constitution, turned
traitor to the treaty obligations to Ser
bia and brought Greece to the verge
of ruin. Having once DCeu King, he
has become no. more than party
leader. Between him and us there is
gulf as deep as the gulf between the
Allies and Germany. The causes of that
gulf are the same, and the prospects Of
reunion are not one whit greater
