 "This years Thanksgiving Day will be celebrated in gratitude for the richest harvest ever gathered in. l: is peculiar reason for satisfaction that We can join hands with the American people in looking back on the perilous months through which we and they passed
 The newspaper pays a tribute to United States Navy in winning a vic tory which will be regarded as an epic illustration of the value of the sea power.
 Referring to Colonel w. s. Church. ill's declaration on the determination of the British to preserve their sea rights, ito which the republic of the United States owes it's exisoece.'
 The Daily Telegraph continues:
 We believe the good sense of the American people will lead them to recognition of the debt due to the two navies and that they will sym pathize with the attitude of an island people in confronting the naval Ques- tions which may be discussed at the peace conference. We, like them selves. owe our freedom from aggre- sion to sea power.'
 Everywhere" the Daily Telegraph continues, throughout the Kings dominions. Colonel Churchill's firm statement will he supported that no argument must lead us to abandon our naval supremacy, which is the only sure defense of these islands and the distant .dominiOns.
 "In joining in celebrating Thanks giving Day we may. perhaps, enter tain the hope that the great Ameri- can people, remembering the pass age of their troops in safety across the Atlantic and the dramatic close of the war as 8 direct result of the blockade in which the American na- val forces also joined, will be as firmly resolved as are we not to bar ter away these ancient rights which once more have proved to be the de- liverance of the world"

PACAND|ST WORKING OVER
 TIME FOR HUN
Absurd Story of Raising German Blockade With
 out Foundation.

London, Nov. 2S.--The Times says the absurd story which the Germans are reported to have spread semi .os- hclally that the entente powers pro- baly will consider the abolitio1 of the blockade. is absolutely unfouuded The allies have not the slightest inten. ton, the Times continues. of throw ing aside their chief weapon for in surfing the signature of a just peac, and the performance of it's condi- tlons, particularly in the present cha otic state of Germany.
 After quoting evidence in an en- deavor to refute Dr. Solf's declaya- tion that Germany is starving, the newspaper says that German state ments on this subject require careful examination. When the truth has been ascertained the allies and tue United States will allow the Germans from time to time during the peace negotiations, such food supplies thas humanity dictates, but the blocka,ir must remain in force until a defin, te peace has been ratified. There after it may be kept in abeyance as the chosen instrument of the lea que Of nations for enforcing it's decisiors
 Concerning the German attempts to draw distinction between the allies and the United States. tn2 Times speaks of the futility of these efforts. With regard to President Wilson's coming visit to Europe, tue Times says the allies look upon this unprecedented event as a great land mark in the worlds history T;ey rejoice that the President is to make the visit, first because thcs desire to show the United States by the reception they give the chief exe- cutive their sense of the immense debt they owe for Americas assistance and, second. because they are anN;- ous to have the personal aid of President Wilson in the task before them.

CUT OFF SUPPLY OF ARSENIC
Present Outlook is That Potato Beetle
and other Bugs VIII Flourish
Next Summer.

The effects of the war are very far
reaching. Even insect life in this
country is feeling its consequences.
The why and the wherefore is this !:
United States has been getting arsenic
from abroad to use in the poisoned
sprays and mixtures utilized in fight
ing injurious insect pests. The war
has cut off these importations and the
supply of this poison In this country
Is limited. The outlook is that the
potato beetle will have good time
next summer and so will the cutworm,
and grasshopper families. The fed.
eral food administration has taken
steps looking to the conservation Of
the arsenic supply as a means Of In
creaslng crop production next year.
No arsenic means decreased crops be-
cause Of greater insect ravages.
