New York, Nov. 3O.-Stocks were
hesitant at the opening of today's
market, reaeting quite generally in
the first hour with variable rallies
later on the moderate inquiry for
rails. Trading was restrained pending
expected developments Of the coming
week at Washington. Initial losses of
to points among stesls, coppers,
motors and oils we're balanced by
strengthened shippings, minor equlp--
ments and obscure specialties. The
closing was irregular. Sales approx
mated 900 shares. Liberty bonds were
heavy, the 4th ANS establishing a new
low record at g6.T6.
Chicago, Nov. 80.--froft taking on
the part OF yesterdays buyers brought
about declines today in the corn mar

temporary removal of this pressure.

the downturns began again. Opening

changed figures to II up, with Decem-
Der $1.27M and January $1.281s to X

around. Oats reflected the weakness

THANKSGIVING
DAY AT FRONT
Fitting Services Held At
American Headquarters
Address By Pershing
(By Associated Presa.l

American Headquarters In France,
Thursday Nov. 28.A-Where possible
Thanksgiving day, was observed
throughout the war zone by the
American forces, all unnecessary
military duties being suspended. The
day found many troops marching or
entraining for ports, but in canton
ments and fixed camps services were
held and an effort was made to pro-
vide some substitution for the tradi-
itonal American dinner.
Impressive Services
An impressive service was held at
the great general headquarters. The
troops were paraded without arms
and the officers and men held a
meeting which was attended by To-
cal dignitaries and the members of
allied military missions here. The
Reverend Charles Henry Brent,
former Protestant Episcopal bishop
for the Philippine Islands, and now
working among the American troops,
read the Presidents proclamation,
announcing Thanksgiving day. Gen.
John j. Pershing made a brief ad-
dress. Bishop Brent then read
Washington's prayer.
= Led by the headquarters band the
meeting sang the Battle Hymn of
the Republic, the "Marsellaise," and
America After Bishop Brent's
benedictien, band concert was Civ
en-. go.
Pershing's Address
The text Of General Pershing's ad-
dress follows:
yellow soldiers, never in the his
tory Of our country have we, as a
people, come together with such full
hearts as on this greatest Of all
Thanksg days. The moment
throbs with emotion. seeking to find
full expression. Representing the
high ideals Of our countrymen and
cherishing the spirit Of our fore
fathers who first celebrated this fes-
ttval Of Thanksgiving we are proud
to have repaid a debt of gratitude to
the land of Lafayette and to have
lent our aid in saving civilization
from destruction. "
The Soldiers Gift to Country
'Victory was our goal 1t was a
hard won gift Of the soldier to his
country. Only soldier knows the
cost Of a gift we now present to the
naL1Ons
Loved Liberty More Than Life
In this hour of thanksgiving our
eternal gratitude goes out to those
heroes who loved liberty better than
life, who sleep yonder, where they
fell; to the manned whose honorable
scars testify stronger than words to
their splendid valor, and to the brave
fellows whose strong relentless
blows finally crushed the enemy's
power. ....
Prayers for All
Nor in our prayers shall we for
get the widow who freely gave the
more precious than her
life, nor those who. in hidden hero
ism have impoverished themselves
to enrich the cause. nor our COM
rades who in more obscure posts |
here and at home have furnished |
their toll to the soldier at the front"

that food relief for Europe would be
organized ON broad humanitarian
basis, Compared with week ago,
corn quotations this morning varied
from sc off to 3Ac higher oats
ranged from Bc decline to &c advance
and provisions showed gains OF 10
cents to &c. Announcement that Ar
gentine corn was being shipped to
Belgium and that South Africa. was
shipping heavily to Great Britain
tended TO depress values here. but was
offset later by runners chat specular-
tive short selling OF corn might be put
under official ban. Then evidence be-
gan to develop that farmers were
adopting q hold-back policy and the
market yesterday swung upward in
earnest, with the trade taking special
note of reports from Paris that help
for food distress in Europe woul5 be
furnished in every possible way.
Oats were governed mainly by the
factors that ruled corn.
Upturns in provisions seemed due to
a large extent to the fact that ship
nents were much, in excess % a. year
ago.
