THANKSGIVING
DAY PROCLAIMED
Special and Moving Cause to
Be Grateful This
Year.
SAYS VICTORY IS COMPLETE
Sees Confident Promise of New Day
IN Which Justice Shall Replace
Force and jealous Intrigue
Among Nations.

Washington, Nov. 19.-President
Wilson issued the following Thanks
giving day proclamation
1T 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 mercies to US
as a nation. This year we have spe-
cial and moving cause to be grateful
and to rejoice.
God has in his good pleasure given
us peace. 1t has not come as a mere
cessation of arms, mere relief from
the strain and tragedy of war. 1t has
come as a great triumph of right.
Complete victory has brought US,
not peace alone, but the confident
promise of new day as well, in
which justice shall replace force and
jealous intrigue among the nations.
s"Our gallant armies have partici-
pated in a triumph which is not
married or stained by any purpose of
selfish aggression. In righteous
cause they have won immortal glory
and have nobly served their nation
in serving mankind.
God has indeed been gracious. 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 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 the
divine guidance in the performance
of those duties and divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors of act or
purpose, and pray that in all we do
we shall strengthen the ties of friend
ship and mutual respect upon which
we must rely 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 day Of thanksgiving and
prayer, and invite the people through
out the land to cease upon that day
from their ordinary occupations and
in their several homes and places of
worship to render thanks to God, the
ruler of nations.
I'm witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia.
this sixteenth day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and eighteen, and of the in
dependence of the United States of
America the one hundred and forty
third. WOODROW WILSON.
