PRESIDENT WILSON'S THANKS
GIVING PROCLAMATION

ut 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 mer-
cies to us as a nation. This year we
have special AND moving cause to be
grateful and to rejoice. God in His
good pleasure has given us peace. 1t
has not come as a mere cessation of
arms, a mere relief from the strain
and tragedy of wsr. It has come
great triumph of right.
Complete victory has brought us,
not peace alone, but the confident
promise of a new day as we'll. in
which Justice shall replace force and
Jealous intrigue among the nations.
Our gallant armies have partici-
pated in a triumph which is not mar
red or stained by any purpose of self
ish aggression. In a righteous III
they have won immortal glory and
have nobly served their nation in serv-
ing mankind.
"God has indeed been generous. We
have cause for such rejoicing as re-
wives and strengthens in us all the
best traditions of our national his
tory. A new day shines about us, in
WHICH OuT ntdIIo ldhC ntW OOulo6
and look forward with new hope to
new and greater duties.
while we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
divine guidance in the performance
OF those duties and divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors of act or
and pray that in all we do
we shall strengthen the ties of friend
ship and mutual respect upon which
we must assist to build the new struc-
ture of peace and good will among
the nations.
Wherefore, I Woodrow Wilson.
president of the United States OF
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-eighth day Of Novem-
Der next, as a day Of thanksgiving
and prayer, and invite the people
Throughout the land to cease upon thai
day from their ordinary occupations
and in their several homes and place;
of worship to render thanks to God
the ruler of nations.
"In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the sea
of the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia

as a friend. Berlin residents hopeful
ly recall the assurance OF President
Wilson that America does not intend
to wipe out the German people.
Berlin, crushed. broken and dispir-
tied by privations, has accepted de-
feat with almost incredible apathy.
II is d~emoralized, listless and hungry,
even abject. It is primarily the apathy
and the feeling hat nothing matters
which is playing into the hands Of a
few energetic fanatics, who consti-
tute probably the gravest menace to
the immediate future Of the German
people.

e, er. in their judgment. the danger
is over.
The board accepted the resignation
of County Attorney Spencer l.. Baird,
which was received several days ago.
Yesterday morning the board met
and appointed Charles t. Cotant,
County Attorney. and Dewitt Brown,
a special deputy in the Auditors Of
fee. Auditor Bulfnch being away,
and his deputy and clerk both flu vic
tins, left no one in the auditors Of
flee to transact public business. Mr..
Brown has been clerk of the draft
board for several weeks, but his au-
thority did not extend beyond the
draft-board work. Assessor Crowley
has been assisting whenever he could
be useful.

SOON TO DECIDE ON FATE
OF THE FORMER KAISER

The immediate fate Of the former
emperor of Germany will be decided
shortly.
The allies are comforting regarding
the matter, while popular clamor for
the punishment Of the author of the
great war is growing hourly, Edouard
Clunet, former president of the insti-
tute of international law, has been
called into consultation by Premier
Clemenceau, evidently to discuss the
steps that can properly be taken.
Il do not think extradition is pos
sible." NJ. Clunet said in an interview
with the United Press. "The treaties
specify that they are to be inopera-
tive in cases involving political Of
lenses. Orders to an army can not be
construed as a common crime.
The Franco-Dutch extradition
treaty specifically mentions that there
shall be no e%xtradition Of political Of
tenders, while literally inspired Eng
and has contributed most to this doc
trine.
Holland has a right to intern the
former kaiser as a German officer anc
to treat him the same as other Ger
man offcers-namely allowing him
freedom on parole on condition tha'
he will not leave Dutch territory. 1
he should resign his citizenship, Hol
land can watch him lest intrigues en-
danger the security Of the country
Fo such intrigues he can be ARRESTED
However, his expulsion from Hol
land by royal decree is possible"

ID SPEAK
 AT CAPITOL PARK

Fred M. Jackson will speak at Capitol park at SIS o'clock tonight. His cam paign chairman, John s. Turner, stated last night that Mir. Jackson will make dispassionate and logical speech on the issues of the campaign. He will indulge in no vituperation, but he will show why there should be a change in repre- sentation at Washington. and will pre- sent his claims as successful business man and industrial operator. Everybody is invited to be present, and an especial invitation is extended to the women.
 It is believed that good crowd wilt be out to hear MT Jackson. He has spoken at several places in the county to good crowds, but this will be the first opportunity the people of the city of Bir- ming ham will have had to hear him, and there is general interest in what he will say.

The bad weather heavy rainfalls, the swollen river and the resultant wretched condition of the terrain with which the allied troops along the Vesle now have to contend, not to mem ton the necessity of bringing up guns, ammunition and supplies which were left far behind in the rapid advance, doubtless is having more to do with the holding in leash of Marshal Fochs troops than the opposition the Germans are throwing in their way.
 The Germans have been shelling heavily the American and French sol- diers who have made their way across to the northern bank of the Vesle or delivering heavy counter attacks against them, but everywhere they have met with stone wall of resist ance that has not permitted them to counter balance their losses of ground.
 They also have deluged the southern line of the stream with shells of all calibres, including gas projectiles, and , even have brought their famous flame throwers into play, but all to no pIr- pose. The allies everywhere have re- mained firm in the ground they have won.
 RETURNED WITH INTEREST .
 But the Germans have not been per mitted by the allies to have a monop- oiy of the initiative. Where they have

Gas in large quantities was released against the Americans who, with their gas masks adjusted. were virtually unharmed by the noxious fumes. A kindly switch in the wind at one time even turned back the gas against the enemy. The French also have answered the Germans in kind.
 During the hiatus in the fighting on the Soissons- Rheims sector the Ger mans arc believed to be moving their main bodies northward to the position they have chosen for a stand. and doubtless the German crown prince is endeavoring hastily to reconstitute as well. as he may with the forces at his command. his badly shattered armies.
 35,OOO CAPTURED
 An inkling of what the Ger
 mans have lost in men made pris-
 oner and guns captured by the aI- lies has become public through an
 utterance of the French premier
 at session of the ministerial
 council at which General Foch
 was made n marshal of France.
 "Thirty-five thousand prisoners
 and 7a9 cannon have been cap
 ture~," said the premier, who add ed that Paris no longer was in danger, that Soissons and Chateau Thierry had been recOnquered and that 200 villages had been deliv- cred through the formidable thrust of Foch's men through the SOis- son~-Pheims saliert.
 Much interest attaches to the ma neuvers of the Germans and the French and British troops, with the latter of whom some Americans are believed to be brigaded, on the front running from Montdidier to the region around Ypres. Ultimately the opera tions here may have strong bearing on those now in progress in the south end, if the allies keep up their suc- cessful thruSts and the Germans con. tinue to withdraw, compel a realign- ment of the entire battle front The French north of Montdidier have crossed to the west side of the Avre river between Braches and Morisel Here fairly deep penetration into the German line would become a direct menace to the junction point of tn. armies of the German crown prince ant of Crown Prince Rupprecht.
