PERSHINC SAYS

Addresses Soldiers at Gen eral Headquarters on
 Thanksgiving Day.

American Headquarters in France, Thursday, Nov. 28.-Victory won by the American soldiers in hard fighting and at the cost of great sacrifices, was the Thanksgiving day gift to the American nation and the American army, General Pershing declared in an address at General Headquarters today. The debt of gratitude to La fayette has been paid and thes in vader has been driven back in defeat, he said
 The American commander in chief paid tribute to the dead and wounded, urged the soldiers to thank God for the victory and declared a new vision
 of duty to God and country had come to all.
 General Pershing's address in part follows:
 Fellow soldiers: Never in the his tory of our country haveywe as a peo- pie come together with such full i hearts as on this greatest of all

task to cleanse the land which the Brit ish forces have again recovered for civilization.
 But the most appealing of these groups of refugees was that encamped out on the other side of Jerusalem, a the rest down In the valley, where tra- dition has it the wood was found for Christ's cross from two trees that grew there. Altars stand over these tradi- tional sites in the midst of the great Monastery of the Holy Cross, with a large interior court and many balconies and stairs. Here the exiles sit or wan der listlessly about, as did the ancient children of Israel by the streams of Babylon. Among them was their priest, with whom the leading men of the com- munity, the American Red Cross Doc tor and I were invited to take coffee. (6) There were only two tiny cups, but the coffee was prepared and served with as much ceremony as if it were offered in the golden cups of Solomon.
 These men of dignified manner, of fine, strong face and gaunt frames be- 1 longed to the out-of-doors. CD They doubtless lived in huddled houses when at home among the hills overlooking the Jordan Valley, but, while they would have been at home in palaces, they seemed to be as lions in cages, longing for the free if not altogether secure air of their hills, and so 1t was that they seemed to be nearest home in the tents with the ever-blowing winds swirling about their loose gar ments. It was the children, however, who made the strongest appeal, and 1t was touching to see the kind concern which these great, rough men had for them.
 The American Red Cross has com polling work here in doing what it can for these little war eXiles, for their health, their happiness, their comfort, their education, for these children, as well as ours, are to have part in the reconstruction of the broken world. And is there anything more important, aside from winning the war" and healing the sick, than preparing these little ones of the earth for their mighty tasks?

TROOPS COMING HOME THROUGH
 FOUR SEAPORTS
New York, Boston, Newport News and Charleston
 Are Selected.

Washington, Nov 30.---Boston, New York, Newport News, and Charleston, is. C., are the ports the War Depart ment plans to use for the return Of the army from overseas. Even with this wide distribution of the strain on port facilities and transportation, and with German ships now idle in German harbors employed on the task, estimates show that the last of the army could not possibly reach the United States in less than eight months.
 Calculations upon which prepara- tions by the department probably will be based fix ten months as the mini mum.
 These estimates have been made wholly on the basis of the physical difficulties to be overcome, and do not take into consideration the question of the retention in Europe for some time of an American force, which may 1 be agreed upon at the peace confer ence. If the return movement, al- ready in progress, is continued at full speed, the last division in all prob ability could not reach the United States before October, 1919.
 In estimating transport tonnage available for the movement, officials have not only looked ahead to the
 new ships which will be delivered during the demobilization period by the Shipping Board, but also upor idle German ships, including tw'o new and very large liners reported to have
 been completed, except for some de
 tails of equipment Among the know1 ;;~ierman steamers is the Imperator
 almost as large as the Vaterland, now the Leviatha1. The two new German
 liners are of approximately the same
 size as these craft. Each of these
 four carries nearly 10000 men a trip.
 The German vessels, east bound af
 ter unloading American troops, would
 carry food supplies to be allotted Ger
 many.

DE LANCEY, FIRST
 PRESIDENT OF AN
 AMERICAN CONGRESS

Tiday is the 215th anniversary of
 the birth of James De Lancey, who
 was the first presiding officer of an
 American Congress. He was born in
 New York on Nov. 30, 1703. De Lan-
 cey presided over the first colonial congress, held at Albany in 1754, when the delegates from New York,
 Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Hamp- shire, Massac chusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut considered a colonial
 confederacy, for which articles of
 union were drawn by Benjamin Franklin. De I.ancey, who had won
 fame as iurisi. was then acting gov ernor of New York. He was one of i the most influential men in the poli- tics and legislation of the colony, and
 was one of the founders of King s College, now Columbia University. He
 was the son of Etienne De Lancey, a l French Protestant, who became a
 British subject and afterward settled l in America. Etienne De Lancey built l the De Lancey House in New York,

backs. They were miserable in their idleness and sickness and, as i'm agine, nostalgia, housed promiscuous- ly as in a great, cheerless tenement house, which had been left by the ene- my without a fragment of furniture or with ornament. The English military authorities have given food and have improvised shelter for these refugees and so kept them from absolute star vation and exposure. It is the Oppor- tunity of America, through the Red Cross, to supplement these barest ne- cessities by helping to minister to the sick and the especially needy of those who were living peacefully in wars track and who fled to the English for protection. It was with such motive that the Red Cross Doctor, represent ing America, was there, going from room to room in that great carvan- serai, examining men, women and chill dren "sick of divers diseases and tell ing the muktar (the head of the little community what to do in each case, sometimes putting the capsule or pow der into the rough hands of the muk- tar for his administering.
 Returning by the way of the white road around the Mount of Olives, we found our way to another such tenn porary encampment in the squalid and i ill smelling rooms and balconies of what had been a Turkish prison. (5) Here conditions were pitiful, and indi. cations of typhus were said by the Doc. tor to be present. The muktar com. ! platned of the water and showed a Turkish horse bridle that had been
 drawn out from the well with the halt
 serious intimation that the horse had gone in with it.
 Everything possible is being done tc

 to these wanderers, but inevitably 1t is

field a few steps beyond the wall at the roadside and see this winnowing scene as doubtlessamight have been witnessed two thousand years ago in that very field nigh unto Bethany" CD Up on the cliff and back in the fields, toward Jerusalem, some dis tance from the Jericho Road, where the Army lorries and ambulances were flying back and forth, attended by the gray clouds of dust, the refugees had been sent. And so it was that climb ed up through the narrow streets to that now forsaken part of the village to which the Master came at the end of some of his harassed days in Jeru- salem, (2) near the place, perhaps, where Martha met him after the death of her brother, Lazarus, for He had not yet come into the village" Not far away were the broken walls of the one time house of Lazarus, and a few steps from the house the tomb itself, | (3) deep in the earth, where, according to tradition, Lazarus was laid and whence he came forth as we. lighted by candles, from the deep grotto.
 After stopping for a moment at the ruins of the reputed house of Simon the leper to look out over Bethany to the Dead sea, narrow stretch of which could be seen, passed through a field with olive trees, under whose shadows boys were herding goats, and soon caught sight of a large modern building, from which I could hear the mingled voices of men, women and children.

 his quiet rhapsodies. Here in the aban-

 Turks had driven out the former occu-
