A PROCLAMATION

1t has long been our custom to
turn in the autumn of the year in
praise and Thanksgiving to AImigh-
ty 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 rejoice. God
has in his good pleasure given us
| peace. 1t has not come as a nero
cessation of arms, a relief from the
strain and tragedy of war. 1t has
come as great triumph of Right.
Complete victory has brought us, not
peace alone, but confident promise
of a new day as we'll, in which ius-
tice shall replace force and jealous
intrigue among the nations. Our
gallant armies have participated in
IA triumph which is not marred or
stained by any purpose of selfish
aggression. In a righteous cause they
have won immortal glory and have
nobly served their nation in serving
mankind. God has indeed been gra-
cious. We have cause for such re-
joicing as revives and strengthens in
us all the best traditions of our ma
tional history. A new day shines
about us, in which our hearts take
new courage and look forward with
new hope to new and greater duties.
While we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek Di-
inc guidance in the performance Of
those duties, and Divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors of act or
purpose, and pray that in all that we
do shall strengthen the ties of friend
ship and mutual respect upon which
we must assist TO build the row struc-
ture of peace and goodwill among
The nations.
Wherefore, ], Woodrow Wilson,
President OF the Uniter States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-eighth day of Mo-
vembcr next, as n day of thanksgiv-
ing and prayer, and invite the peo-
pie throughout the land to cease up
on that day from their ordinary oc-
cupations and in their several homes
and places of worship to render
thanks to God, the Ruler of nations.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.

HOW THE FRENCH WOMEN

appeals of the women of Germany

Paris, Nov. 23-The National
Council Of French Women has de-
clined to intercede with the French
the German armistice. In reply to

German women to Madame Jules
Sigfried, president of the council, the
council yesterday unanimously adopt
ed this resolution:
"No, we will not intercede with
our government to mitigate the con-
ditions Of the armistice which are
oaly too justified by the manner in
which Germany we. ed war.
'In the course Of these tragic years
German women believing victory was
certain, remained silent at the crimes
OF their government, their army and
their navy.
AT the congress at The Hague, to
which we refused to go, the president
of the National Council Of German
women was invited to protest against
The violation of Belgium and against
