 ISSUED BY PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, Nov. 1T. - President Wilson, in a proclamation today, des- ignated Thursday, November 18th as Thanksgiving Day, and said this year the American people have special and moving cause to be grateful and re- joice.

 Thanksgiving. 191S)
 By the President of the United States of America.
 "A Proclamation.
 Tt 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 special and moving cause to be grate- ful and to rejoice. God has in His good pleasure given us peace. It has not come as mere cessation of arms. mere relief from the strain and tragedy of war. It has come as a great triumph of right. Complete victory has brought us, not peace alone, but the promise of a new day as well, in which justice shall re- place force and jealous intrigue among the nations. Our gallant armies have participated in a triumph which is not marred or stained by any purpose of selfish aggression. In a right eous cause they have won inn ! mortal glory and have nobly served their nation in serving mankind. God has indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoicing as Tevives and fT1 oil hAe | tions of national 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 the | Divine guidance in the performance of these duties, and Divine mercy anC forgiveness for all errors of act O. purpose and pray that in all that W, do we shall strengthen the ties o friendship and mutual respect upol which we must assist to build the nev structure of peace and good vii among the nation.
 Wherefore, l. Woodrow Wilson president of the United States of Amer ica, do hereby designate Thursday, tn twenty eighth day of November next | as d udy Ol l 1IldllhS6lNlllS anu prayer and invite the people throughout tn land to cease upon that day fror their ordinary occupations and in thei several homes and places of worshi to render thanks to God the ruler c nations.
 '1n witness whereof, have here unto set my hand and caused the sea of the United States to be affixed.
 Done in the District of Columbia this sixteenth day of November, i
 the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eighteen and of tn independence of the United States ( ) America, the one hundred and forty } third.

PAMPHLET ISSUED BY
 PRINCE MAMMALIAN

Copenhagen, Nov. 17.-(By The A. P.-The former imperial chancellor, Prince Maximilian of Baden, has is sued pamphlet in which he writes:
 My peace policy was entirely upset by the proposal for an armistice, which was handed to me in complete form upon my arrival in Berlin. l fought against it for practical and political reasons. It seemed to me a grave mistake to allow the first step toward peace to be accompanied by such an amazing admission of Germany's weakness.
 Neither the. enemy powers nor our own people regarded our military sit uation such as to make desperate measures necessary. I proposed that the government as a first measure should state exactly it's programme of war aims and demonstrate to the world our agreement with President Wilson's principles and our readiness to undergo heavy national sacrifices to fulfill those principles"

PRESIDENT REGARDS IT HIS
 DUTY TO STAY IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Nov. 17.-Publication today of President Wilson's letter to Judge Alton B. Parker declining an invitation to attend the Britain Day celebration in New York, December caused renewed discussion here of the question of whether the president will go to Europe for the great peace conference that is to settle finally the issues growing out of the war.
 In his letter to Judge Parker, the president said:
 Tt is my plain duty to be here for l can act more promptly upon mat ters which seem to mature almost every hour and l am sure that 1 can be more true to the common cause by staying here"
 By some this was taken to mean that the president would not attend the peace conference. Generally, however, it was accepted as meaning that the president expects that that the exchange between Colonel E. M House, his personal representative , and the Entente premiers in prepar- ation for the assembling of the peace confere@ee still will be continuing December 8.
 In advance of the meeting of the conference many delicate questions must be settled by the supreme war council at Versailles. Since Colonel House reached Paris there have been daily exchanges between him and President Wilson and these must con tinue until the councils work is : completed and the way clear for the assembling of the congress. l As yet there has been no indication | that the president has reached a de. cision on the suggestion from higl sources in Europe that he at least b, present for several days that he vii | go to Europe, though probably no as an active participant in the meet inf.
 The general belief here now is tha the congress cannot assemble befor, January fors even after the United States and the Allies have com
 pleted their present exchanges o views and the supreme council ha drawn up the programme for tn
 meeting, several weeks will be re quired for the assembling of tn commissioners which are to represen the participating nations.

PRISONERS OF WAR TO
 BE RELEASED BY GERMANS

London, Saturday, Ncv. 16.-Prison- IFS of war held by the Germans Will be granted opportunities for returning to their homes without delay, according to German wireless message picked up here.
 "The government is sensible of the hard life of prisoners in Germany and and enemy countries and expects that everywhere they will be treated as humanely as possible" continued the message. Tt will take energetic meas ures if excesses against them are com mitted by subordinate authorities or private persons.
 Nevertheless, it requests prisoners, in their own interest, to continue to carry on their work until determined period. A return in large numbers, without regard to concerted plan for their being sent home. must result in the greatest prejudice to themselves and the whole population"
