SER VICE SPIRIT
Is The SPIRIT
OF THANKSGIVING
SAYS DR.. FROST
Fargo Churches Unite for
Two Union Services
This Morning

The spirit Of service is the spirit
of Thanksgiving in a world aroused
to the bigger and better things of
life, DR.. Fl. II. Frost pastor OF the
First Methodist church, said at un-
ion Thanksgiving services held for
congregations of south side churches
in the First Congregational church
this morning.
DR.. Frost used as HIS text the 105th
Psalm, "Oh give We thanks onto the
Lord and call his name, and make
known his deeds among the peo-
pie"
DR.. Frost reviewed the growth of
the Thanksgiving spirit, declaring
that following the Revolutionary war
the day took on a new Significance
from the new freedom, taking on
greater significance following the
Civil war and the Spanish American
war until today, following the great
est war in all history, its celebra-
tion is commemoration OF the re-
storation to world leadership of God
and right.
The services were as largely at
tended as health regulations per-
mitted. Thanksgiving songs were
rendered by a union choir.
American SpiTIG Iau0eos
Rev. d. 7. Robertson, pastor Of the
First Presbyterian church, who
preached at union services for con-
gregations Of north side church af
the First Christian church, declared
that the victory won by arms in
France was not greater than the vic-
tory won in American homes; that of
sacrificing comforts which Ameri-
cans had become accustomed to for
the boys in the service. Music was
by the Christian church choir.
We can be thankful today for the
wonderful harvest and for the sue
cess Of our arms on land and sea, but
more especially for the great revival
of the spirit OF service in the hearts
Of the American people," Rev. Rob-
ertso1I said.
Rev. Robertson took to task peo-
pie who thought they had nothing
to be thankful for. 'iIf they cannot
rejoice with the world. let them
visit the poor houses, the prisons
and the asylums and compare. their
state with that of the unfortunates
thus confined" /" he said.

Leading Men Say Nation

RAW MATERIALS
BADLY NEEDED
Public Debt Must Be Ap-
portioned Between the
New Republics
(By Associated Press.l

Vienna, Sunday, Nov. 24.--"Pro-
vided the allies extend immediate
help, the Austrian republic will be
able to arise from the position it Is
in at present" said DIR. Joseph Red
Itch. former minister of. finances.
IF we are helped" he continued,
I'VE will be able to help ourselves.
Our people are farmers and men of
the Industrial classes, all willing to
work and not inclined to Bolshevism.
Our financial position looks like
bankruptcy on paper but we will be
able to pay our war debts.
Only Want A Chance.
"Our gold reserves are small, per-
haps half million crowns, but
that Is of no great Importance in my
opinion. What 1 urge is that we be
helped back to productive basis.
"If we can get food we will be
able to keep order. If we can get
coal we will begin working. If we
can get cotton, metals and raw ma
terials production will go on. We
will also be quiet politically, which
is desired by America and the
allies"
Must Have Loans.
Ludwig Won Neupath. director of
the Austrian credit bank, said to-
day:
"The Austrian republic must first be
given loan to be used to send food
and coal into the country to prevent
famine and disorder. Then it must
obtain another loan of $50,0o0,000
g Buy a six months stocks OF cot
ton, wool and copper.
Should Apportion Debt.
Diplomatic pressure should be
brought to bear against the Czechs
who are attempting to prevent the
arrival of coal and metals from
Galicia and other points. The peace
conference should also apportion the
debts Of the former Austrian en-
pire equitabIy among. the Czechs,
Hungarians, Austrians and Jugo-
Slavs. This debt now totals 56
billion kronen, 80 billion OF which is
In paper money which is circulat-
ing in all parts of the country. IL the
Austrian republic is made to shoul-
der this debt she is bound to be
bankrupt. Before the war normal
expenses for the army totaiIed q
O06. .000, 900 kronen. IL there is no
army or navy in the future this
sum will be sufficient to pay the in
terest on the country's debt"

CITY COMMISSION
DECLINES TO ACT
UNTIL OPINION OF
PEOPLE IS KNOWN
Proposal Of Union Light to
Lower Gas Rate Is
Laid Over

The Fargo city commission will
take no action on the proposal of
the Union Light, Heat & Power COM
pany to reduce the rate. for gas 90
pei, cent provided permission is
granted to increase rates for steam
heat approximately 65 per cent un-
til the wishes of the majority Of
Fargo taxpayers and citizens has
been ascertained.
This was the decision reached at
an adjourned meeting Wednesday
afternoon when the proposal of the
company, communicated to the COM
mission by letter Wednesday morn
ing, was given further consideration.
II believe that we ought to give
the people chance to express their
opinion on this MATTER" Alex
stern. president of the commission,
said. eTf the newspapers will carry,
the full details OF the company's
proposition, the people will be in a
position to make a decision, and if
opposed or in favor of it can appear
before the commission or present a
petition"
The commission concurred in the
suggestion.
Arthur Fowler, attorney for the
company, who presented the COM
pany's side of the matter at the
morning session, was present, but
did not speak.
BIakemore Says Wait.
Robert B. Blakemore, commits
sioner of water works, urged that no
action be taken pending the rate
hearing OF the state railway COM
mission.
.'This hearing, according to the
best sources of information, win
come in January, and in the absence
of figures other than those given
this commission by the company we
should take no action" Mr.. Blake
more said. There is little more
than a month to wait, and any con-
tract that we might enter into now
might have the effect of counteract-
ing the probable good results of the
hearing"
Mr.. Blakemore, who has a copy of
the audit of the company's books
taken for the hearing, given to him
for his own information, was asked
if he was certain that the hearing
would be held in January. There is
every reason to believe that it will
be held in January he said.
May Call Meeting.
When the meeting adjourned, it
was incorporated into the adjourn
ment motion that a neetiAg might bel
called prior. to the regular meeting
next. Wednesday, should Develop
IneiIts warrant. The Individual com
Hnissioners, however, were agreed in
Withholding action until such time
as the public had been given an OPP
portunity to express an opinion:
The proposal OF the company is to
reduce the price OF gas for $500 con-
sumers. from 50 thousand feet to
$3.50 thousand feet net, if the
commission will anlSAd the present
franchise for steam saneat to permit
the company to increase the rate
above the charter rate approximate
ly SIS per cent to affect 110 individual
consumers of heat. Furnishing heat
at the present rate, the company
contends, is occasioning a loss Of
nearly $4,000 a year.

that has yet been made in connection
with the official plans for the peace

that there would absolutely no cen

OF President Wilson both the Brit

tirely relax all cersorships on all Ann

OF the deliberations.
Furthermore, to facilitate the trans
mission of news to the country, the |

give news preference in transmits |
