PERSHING VOICES
THANKS FOR VICTORY
Pays Eloquent Tribute to
Americas Soldier Dead

American Headquarters in France,
Nov. %, CIV the Associated Press)-
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, Gen. Pershing
declared in an address at general
headquarters today. The debt of
gratitude to Lafayette has been paid
and the invader has been driven back
in defeat he said.
The American communicative chief
paid tribute to the dead and wound
ed, urged the soldiers to thank God
for the victory and declared a new
vision of duty to God and country had
come to all.
Gen. Pershing's address in part fol-
lows:
Fellow soldiers, never in the his
tory Of. our country have we, as
people, come together with such full
hearts as on this greatest of all
Thanksgiving Days. The moment
throbs with emotion, seeking to find
full expression. Representing the
high ideals of our countrymen and
cherishing the spirit of our forefath-
ers who first celebrated this festival
of Thanksgiving, we are proud to
have repaid a debt of gratitude to the
land of Lafayette and to have lent
our aid in saving civilization from de-
struction.
1.-THE unscrupuIous invader has
been driven from the devastated
scenes of his unholy conquest. The
tide of conflict which during the dark
days Of midsummer threatened to
overwhelm the Allied forces has been
turned into glorious victory. AS the
sounds Of battle die away and the
beaten foe hurries from the field, 1t
is fitting that the conquering armies
should pause to give thanks to the
God of battles, who has guided our
cause Alright.
TN this hour of Thanksgiving, our
eternal gratitude goes out to " those
heroes who loved liberty better than
life, who sleep yonder where they
fell; to the MANNED whose honorabl
scars testify stronger than words to
their splendid valor and to the brave
fellows whose strong relentless blows
finally crushed the enemy's power.
Nor III our prayers snail De Tor
get the widow who freely gave the
husband more precious than her life,
nor those who, in hidden heroism,
have impoverished themsel1 es to en-
rich the cause, nor our comrades who
in more obscure posts here and at
home have furnished by their toll to
the soldiers at the front.
Great cause, indeed, have we to
thank God for trials successfully met
and victories won. Still more should
we thank Him for the golden future,
with it's wealth of opportunity and its
hope of a permanent universal
peace"
Where possible. Thanksgiving Day
was observed throughout the war
zone by the American forces, all I'M
necessary military duties being sus-
pended.

WAR BUREAU MUST
REMAIN AS Unit
VIII Not Be DiSbanded Until
ALI Work Is Ended

At a meeting of the war bureau last
evening it was voted that the local
bureau adhere to the request Of the
state and remain as a definite organi-
zation until all possible work has
been done The local bureau has q
we'll organized force and it is growing
in efficiency every day. The city
would be at a serious loss if the bu-
reau were to be discontinued at the
present time. It was pointed out that
the work of the bureau will be very
much increased now that the cessa-
ton of hostilities has come. There
will be many soldiers coming back
who will need some definite office to
come to to find out various things and
if they deal with the government
in any way they will need medium
to deal through. There will be many
cases of compensation and allotments
and of boys who have not returned
that will have to be Strengthened out.
The need of the bureau is clearly seen
unless the city takes some step to or
ganiEe a committee of some kind to
take its place. Until the state legis-
lature takes some definite steps in re-
organization and passes legislation
which will create civil units like the
war bureau it is imperative that the
local organization remain intact.
At the meeting last night George
Spear was authorized to appoint q
woman to take charge of g. motor
unit to be formed in this city. This
motor unit will act much the same as
the emergency motor fleet. Its work
win be any which will facilitate mat
ters which come under the jurisdic-
ton of the council of defense. In
Nh0I al
close contact with the war bureau as
that organization handles all such
cases Mr.. Spear has not as yet made
the appointment. Another matter dis
cussed was the appointment of a
committee to be known as an investi-
eating committee Of the second dis
4rio4 bureau of war risk insurance.
The second district has it's office II
New York and New Britain comes
under this office. Judge William f.
Mangan is chairman of the 1nvestl-
eating committee and will start at
once to perfect the rest Of the organl-
zatfon of the committee. A commu1l-
cation from the state council or de-
Tense was read which dealt with the
completion of honor rolls. The local
war bureau will take up the matter
right away and try to complete the
local roll as soon as poSSlple. 1hele
are at the present time a few names
of men in the service which the bu-
reau has not placed on the honor roll
burt this will be done very soon. The
peopIe of New Britain are not invited
but are urgently asked to come to
city hall and look at the honor roll.
Anv omissions or corrections should
be made known to the war bureau
which has it's office in city hall on the
same floor as the honor roll The war
bureau has been handicapped in
completing the roll because of lack
of information concerning the men
and it would be greatly appreciated
If the relatives of the men in the
service would call at the office
and inform them concerning the boy
or boys il the service.

in. The fire was caused, 1t LIS believed,
by a defective chimney, as a number
of shingles on the roof had caught
fire before the fire was discovered.
Because of the nature of the fire, 1t
was difficult for the f1remen to reach
the base of the blaze, and it was
necessary to chop away several feet

part Of the damage.
