THANKSGIVING
Proclamation by the Governor

The usual light-hearted rejoicing of the
harvest time has given place to serious
mood before unknown to this generation
of Americans. At this season of family
reunions, thousands of homes are oppres-
sed by dread of what the near future may
hold for absent loved ones.
Yet through gloom of world wide strife
and above our own national peril appear
abundant reasons for giving thanks to the
Divine Being whose mercy endureth for
ever.
For His Providence that established us
in a goodly heritage on this continent and
guided US through many perils of our his
tory; for our free institutions and the in
heritance of ideals more precious than
life, for present security from the indes-
cribable horror and devastation of hostile
invasion; for abundant harvests allowing
US to minister to the desperate needs of
oppressed and famished peoples in other
lands; for the generous response of our
people to the appeal of charity and mercy;
for the call to world wide service and the
answering spirit of devotion and self
sacrifice among our people, it is our duty
to devote day to public expression of
our gratitude to the Great Giver of every
good and perfect gift
Wherefore |, Carl E. Milliken, Gov
ernor of the State of Maine, do hereby
designate Thursday, November twenty
ninth, nineteen seventeen, as day of
public thanksgiving and prayer
And while we thus render thanks let us
devoutly and humbly implore the blessing
of Almighty God upon ur State and Ma
tion. Let us commend to His care those
who have gone beyond the seas to fight
our battles and seek His comfort for those
at home who may become widows and
orphans and the mothers who may be
called upon to give their sons. Let us be-
seech Him that He may further encourage
that in due time the tumult of war may
cease and peace with honor and liberty
and security may be vouchsafed to all
mankind.

Without murmur they respond to liber-
tys call and special war taxes. But all
this conservation of American soul and
body is jeopardized by hordes of aliens
who whisper and work for Germany,
Americas worst enemy; and enemy of
her homes. The contribution of Ameri-
can flesh and blood is nullified by those
who say stop fighting now-who promote
strikes-who sneer at the soldier and
sailor. We have among us those who
are doing their utmost to defeat the gov
ernment which gives them bread and
butter; and doing their utmost to help
the government which treated them like
clod of earth when living at home.
Let Americans rise up and end this biting
of the hand that feeds the alien. Re-
member these enemy aliens who so abuse
American hospitality, pay no taxes, sup
port no Red Cross, buy no Liberty Bonds,
earn big wages; while our own boys give
up their jobs and salaries, and die at the

aliens milk and would betray. Out upon
