FRENCH PROUD OF DOG HERO
Brave Deeds Of ArtemIs Have Won
Him Wide Renown Among the
Fighters for ia PGtrle.S

There was a foggy night once when
his acute hearing failed Artemis, who
was doing guard duty out on No Mans
Land. Artemis. 1t must be explained.
is popular hero of France. dog Of
uncertain pedigree. with mixture Of
the Great Dane In him and touch Of
the French mountain sheep-dog. So
serious was the result Of this treach-
cry on the part Of his ears that sec
ton of his regiment was cut off. Poor
Artemis! He had always been so faith
full and had so often saved his friends.
But they. trusted him still and, to
prove it, they dispatched him with a
note attached to his collar warning
their comrades of their danger. 1t was
hot night on the line, and the bullets
were flying fast. Phut phut they fell
round the flying feet Of Artemis, but
he paid no heed to them. His reputa-
ton was at stake, and he redeemed It.
He got through with bis message. Aid
was sent to his squad. 1t arrived In
time. And there followed celebra-
ton in honor Of Artemhs, arranged by
the colonel himself.
The hero, however, was not yet sat.
isfied that his duty was done. At
Ypres he continued to act as courier
and patrol. and no accidents interfered
with his efficiency now. Finally came
a day when the captain commanding
him found his own life threatened by
the attack of two Boches. None Of his
men were near him. But Artemis was.
The captain managed to kill one as
sailant. AS he did so, the other cock
ed his rifle to shoot. Whereupon At.
tennis, exerting all his strength, sprang
III the mans throat seized 1t so vicious
ly that he strangled him. The captain
was saved. So was Atemis; but both
went to the hospital.-Mrs. Elphin-
stone Maitland, in Peoples Home

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

at has long been our custom to turn
in the autumn of the year In praise and
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for his
many blessings and mercies to US as a
nation. This year we have special and
moving cause TO be grateful and to re
joice. God has in His good pleasure
given Us peace. Is has not come as a
mere cessation OF arms, mere relief
from the strain and tragedy OF war. II
has come as great triumph of right.
Complete victory has brought as not
peace alone, but the confident promise
OF a new day as well, in which justice
shall replace force and jealous intrigue
among the nations. Our gallant armies
have participated in triumph which is
not marred or stained by any purpose Of
selfish aggression. In righteous cause
they have won immortal glory and have
nobly served their nation in serving
mankind. God has indeed been gracious
We have cause for such rejoicing as re-
wives and strengthens in as all the best
traditions of national history. A new
day shines about US in which our hearts
take new courage and look forward with
new hope 70 new and greater duties.
"While We render thanks for these
things let Us not forget to seek the
Divine guidance In the performance OF
these duties and Divine mercy aud for
giveness for all errors of act or purpose,
aud pray that in all that we do we shall
strengthen the ties of friendship and
mutual respect upon which we must as
sist to build the new structure of peace
and good will among the nations.
Wherefore, i, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States OF
America, do hereby designate Thursday,
the twenty eighth day of November
next as a day Of thanksgiving and
prayer and invite the people
throughout the land to cease up
on that day from their ordinary occu-
pations and in their several homes and
places of worship to render thanks TO
God, the ruler of nations.
"Iu witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed. Done in
the District of Columbia, this sixteenth
day Of November, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and
eighteen, and of The independence Of the
United States of America, the one hun
dred and forty-third.
WOODROW WILSON"
