Allied Flags Used i'm
Old Trinity's Service;
General Bell Speaks

Flags of the Allies formed part of
the professional in the Thanksgiving
service at old Trinity Church yester-
day morning. They have been pre-
scented as a permanent memorial Of
the most significant Thanksgiving Day
in history" to the old church in which
the people of New York have gathered
Tor more than century to give thanks
1or victories in other great wars.
Major General J. Franklin Bell, COM
mander of the Department of the East
marched behind the colors, and after
him came the choir and clergy. Cen
eral Bell delivered an address,, in which
he gave thanks for victory and warned
the people Of difficult problems facing
the nation through its new interna-
tional relations
I'VE are reaching the point when our
own economic conditions must change"
he said. THE time comes to every land
when it becomes over-peopled How
soon are we to be faced with this prob
lem? In the past we got our share of
the worlds trade because the neighbor-
ing peoples with whom we traded
showed q lack of providence and care.
We must in the end depend on our
share Of this international trade to
maintain a living"

Only "Iron Rations" for
THANKSGIVING

ARCHANGEL, Nov. % (By The AS

sible in this frozen wilderness, the
American troops in Northern Russia
tried to observe an old fashioned
American Thanksgiving to-day in box
cars, blockhouses, village billets and
tirch bough shelters, and around camp
fires near the Bolshevik lines.
As much leisure as was permitted by
the exigencies Of the military situation
was granted the troops. Some of them
at far away points along almost i'm
passable roads had only their iron
rations. but for the most part special
treats were sent in sleighs.
Some of the men had wild fowl.

which nearly 100 prisoners were per-
mitted to take part.
At Blackwell's Island professional
talent was introduced by E. F. Albee,
of the United Booking offices, for the
entertainment of the inmates. A
vaudeville programme made up of a
dozen or more we'll known performe rs
was staged in an open court. Later
the B. F. Keith Boys Band of 250
pieces played patriotic airs, and the
prisoners Joined in rousing peace
demonstration.
A prayer for eight former inmates
who gave up their lives in France
opened the Thanksgiving ceremonies at
the Jewish Orphanage Asylum, 18th
Street and Amsterdam Avenue. Tur-
key dinner was served for 1900 chill

Rowenstein, as master of ceremonies,

Celebration in Paris

PARIS. Nov. 2S.-An appeal Tor con-
tinued close relation among the natiohs
o1l;ed in the war was made by Andre

the United States, in an address to-day
at the annual Thanksgiving luncheoh

We salute to-day the King Of noble
Great Britain, but we will give later to
YOUR President a greeting of kind
worthy of him and worthy of America.
We wish to thank President Wilson Tor

in the task of winning the war.
His reference to President Wilson
caused great outburst of cheering.
Undoubtedly the most striking
Thanksgiving celebration in Paris was
that organized by the Knights OF
Columbus at the Church of the Made
line.
The cortege of divines participating
in the festival included the Archbishop
of Cambrai. the Bishops of Amiens,
Beauvais, Chalons and scissors;
Colonel Workman, head of the Catholic

american intervention was wholly
spiritual. 1t was nothing sordid. No
appetite for conquest determined It,.
America has contributed to save the
world. Let us thank God for having
chosen America as the instrument Of
his divine power"
After the TIE Deum the clergy pro
ceeded to the stone steps surrounding
the church, where Cardinal Annette
blessed the crowds. 1t is estimated that
10000 persons, kneeling in the mud, de-
spite the rain and cold, received the
blessing.
Admiral William S. Benson repre-
sonted the United States. Edward M.
Hurley, chairman of the American
Shipping Board, also was present.

300 Women Lose Jobs;
Their Holiday DuZled

Thanksgiving Day was dulled for
800 women who have been employed
since the declaration of war in the sail
lott at the navy yard by the receipt of
news that they were to be DISCHARGED.
They said they would have made no
complaint had their discharge been
caused by cessation of work, but it was
due, they declared, to the fact that a
contract for the work they had been
doing had been let to concern which
was too busy with other orders while
the war was on to take the contract.
They said no contractor could do the
work more cheaply than they had done
1T, while the sudden cessation of en-
ployment would embarrass many Of
them IN contracts they had entered into
to buy Liberty bonds.
NO officer at the yard would comment
on the situation.

ThankfuIness for
Blessings Theme
At Many Churches

IhankfulneSs for the tremendous
blessings that America has helped in
bringing to pass in the last year and
exhortations that the future conduct
of the nation and its people secure
these blessings for all time were min
gled in sermons delivered from New
York pulpits yesterday.
In some cases congregations Of sew
eral churches of different denomina-
lions Joined together and celebrated
the day under one roof. In others
pastors relinquished their places to
men of national repute, who spoke on
the problems that now confronted the
nation.
George W. Wickersham, former
United States Attorney General, speak
ing at the Church of the Holy Com
nunlon, warned his hearers not to for
Thanksgiving that America alone did
not win the war and that her allies
mad made sacrifices SO far surprising
ours that theirs should be the privi-
lege of readjusting tn eworld.
ITO quote Kipling," said Mr.. Wicker
sham: "If blood be the price Of lib
erty, Lord God we ha' paid it WE'LL
We cannot readjust the balances
against us in the matter of lives" Mr..
Wlckersham continued. "Those great
credits to the accounts Of Great Bri-
tain, France and Italy remain nefface-
able factors in the determination Of
results; unanswerable credentials Of
their right to be first heard concerning
the disposition of the world they have
SO greatly contributed to to make
free"
The war has driven America out Of
her former role of a national recluse,
and will force her hereafter to mingle
intimately in the affairs of the whole
world, the Rev John Roach Straton,
pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, said
IN his sermon.
we are thankful that we We're pre-
pared to pay the price of victory"
Rabbi Herbert S. Goldman told his CON
gregation at its Thanksgiving celebra,
ton In the Mount Morris Theatre.
The Jew in America has helped not
only to make the world safe for de-
mocracy, but to make it unsafe for au-
tocracy. Let us not only be thankful
to God for victory, but let US firmly
resolve that these achievements will
serve as stepping tones for the real-
zatlon of the aims Of this war"

10000 Lift Voices
In Song and Cheer

Huge Crowd Shouts Mes
sage of Good Will to
Men "Over There"

Ten thousand persons, singing as
if the Thanksgiving turkey were a
bird famous for his vocal. rather than
his culinary qualities, set new style
in celebration yesterday.
Instead of going skating after tur-
key, as our grandparents used to do,
won't in the dull days before we knew

the thing to get together and sing
as if the turkey were a nightingale
and the chicken a phonograph.
Madison Square was filled yesterday
afternoon with grandmothers and
children, soldiers, sailors, Red Cross
nurses, uncles and cousins and all
the other kinds of folks that wanted
to celebrate.
1t was hilarious crowd, ready for
anything, ready to cheer General Bell,
or a bunch OF marines on crutches,
Katie" or to rock with laughter at the
comic songs of the "gobs" from Pelham
Bay.
It clapped it's appreciation when
Robert Lawrence, "Y'' song leader,
called on all the fathers who had sons
IN France to stand up, and it whistled
and yelled when next he called on the
sweethearts to stand up. The sweet
hearts were ready, too, and stood up
blushing and laughing, but with q
proud CLEAN in their eyes that seemed
to say they had the best of that joke
and just you wait until next Thanks

home
The ten thousand sang "The Star
Spangled Banner" and wound up the

"Tell the boys over there you are

"Now then, all together. WE ARE
WITH YOU Turn heads to the east
and yell as if there wasn't any wireless
or any cable, and you just had to make
those boys know how grateful you are
for all they have done"
Ten thousand opened their mouths
and did their best. Probably the wire
less will help a little; but there is
every reason to believe that the mes
sage got to Ellis Island, at least with
out r'cchanicaf aid.

that the French nation is so grateful
to the Americans for what they did
at Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood
that they have changed the name of

is now "The Wood of the Marines"
The programme ended with tableaux
representing the United States and the
Allies. After that the ten thousand
stayed an hour or so more, singing
