The victory is ours.

49, 'ANNNfS -
In our strongest effort to help our
country and our allies win, we have
thought many, many times of the mil.
lions of suffering victims Of the war.
We have many times felt that we
should joyously enter Thanksgiving
at any season Of tho year when our
arms prevailed sufficiently to bring
relief and stop all this suffering.
These evils are being checked now
through the steady march Of our men
to take their positions in those cor
ners Of the earth that have been
blighted and ruined by the war.
And the ocean is free from the ter
rors of the submarine, never again to
be left open to the operations Of ruth
less barbarians. We have the right
to sweep them into oblivion and if
we do our duty toward God and civil
lied mankind, we will make this a
complete task, It is ours to right the
wrongs and set the world at peace, AS
our season OF thanksgiving approach
es, we are entering upon this very
God-given task.
The man or woman, boy or girl,
who passes this season without
grateful joyous, uplifted soul is in
capable of grasping its meaning. All
America, all England, all France, all
italy all Belgium, the vast areas of
darkest Russia, and the world every
where that the kindly touch of christ
ianity and civiizing influence has been
permitted to reign undisturbed, has
abundant cause to be thankful Even
those torn and suffering people of the
Central Empires have a reason for
being grateful that hostilities have

BREAD AND REST

The average Russian wants bread
and rest from the turmoil through
which he has been passing for the
last four years, and believes he will
eventually find these two blessings.
He doesn't know exactly how, but he's
hopeful.
The Russian public is struggling
along with great patience, making the
/ most OF its very limited food supply,
making over its muchworm clothing,
polishing its shabby shoes and getting
all the amusement it can out of life
by attending the theatres and visit
ing the summer gardens.
Moscow's bread allowance is one
quarter Of a pound daily for each per-
son-if he gets it. And the quality of
the bread varies so greatly that there
is much betting and testing daily as
to what sort of bread the food COM
mittees will supply the following day.
Straw enters largely into the com
position of the bread supplied to Mos
cow, Petrograd and other cities far
In,
Sometime the straw is chopped so
finely it cannot be detected. On other
days it is so coarse and abundant in
the loaf that straws an inch long NAV
be found
A recent cartoon in the Moscow
Novoye Vreyma showed as old man
plating straw hat, Two urchins
wearing hats were playing at his feet
and loaf of bread from which long
straws were protruding lay on the
table A neighbor who stood beside
the weaver inquired.
"How do you find the bread these
days"
The reply was:
I'VE can't eat it,but it makes ex
cellent eau de cologne"
The dearth of alcoholic drinks af.
forded the subject for a cartoon
which gave Moscow hearty laugh.
A customer holding abottle of per-
fnme in his hand stood before an
apothecary to whom he complained:

cologne"
Gracious, one doesn't smell it now

tailors and dressmakers nowadays is

AT recent musical performance

The accident made such noise that
