REASONS FOR HELPING GER
MANY.

The papers are discussing pro and
con, the propriety of helping Ger
many to get ON her feet. There are
two reasons why we should do so.
One is to keep down riots and distur-
Dances inevitable among the hungry
and starving. These riots will ne
cessitate keeping our troops there on
police duty. Keep down bread riots
and let the boys come home.
Another reason: Feed Germany ON
the same principle That we feed hors.
es on the farms working our crops.
and on the same principle that we
would GRUB stake" men who are
working our farms. Germany owes
us money and sooner they can 90 to
work and get on their feet the SOON
err they will be able to pay our bills.
This may be mercenary, selfish

GERMAN-MADE TOYS.
Editor Clinch Valley News.

cuitof Ciinch Valley News:
there has been shipment Of 1000
tous of German-made toys received
IN this country, presumably for the
Christmas trade. These goods were
purchased in 1914 for the trade of
that year, but were not allowed to
be shipped then OH account of wa,
conditions. They were placed in the
Holland warehouse where thew re-
manned until recently, when the pur-
chasers were allowed TO snip them
IS the purchase was made prior to
the war. Now, | wish to protest

my" toys in this country, since our
nricasantness with Fritz. The mat.
iGr is being agitGted by the Womens
National Committee of the American
defense Society, and il is to be hoped
that the public will pass these things
by
Prior % our break with GERMANY
the sale of Fritz-made toys in this
country aggregated milions yearly.
and this none should ave been
more advantageously spent.
Let the American people give their
trade. if they must buy toys other
than American made, to the the coun
tries that have respect for civiiza-
ton, while Frizt disposes of his worth

AN EXPLANATION OFFERED.

Some one asks: 81 am amazed
tina our people seem so little elated
by the ending of the war, and so lit
tie cnthused by the great victory.
Why is it? Is it because we do not
realize it or do not appreciate it,"
This, we believe, is the explanation
of condition which evidently Is
sensed correctly by our enquircrs:
The war has been a long way off.
Few people amongst us ever fully
realized that we were at war.
And, chiefly, the victory was no
surprise. 1t was just what we knew
was coming, sooner or later. AnX-
iety was felt for our boys, but never
for a moment vas there any doubt
in the minds of the people of this
country as to the final result Down
near the ports of embarkaton, large
cities and great camps, there were
constant reminders of the bigncss of
the conflict. Here, away from the
centers, in our quiet communities, we
never became excited There was.
therefore, nothing of stirring ma
ture to arouse us. The final result
was just what we cXcpcted. We had
thought it all out, in fact practically
won the war in our minds long before
it ended. There was therefore, moth
ing of the element of surprise and
"shock" in the announcement that
Germany had surrendered. We be-
lieve that an explanation of the APP
parent Indifference and failure to hu-
rah and shout, may be found along
the lines here Indicated AS the years
go by we will see and appreciate it
all.

A PRAYER.
(By Philip E. Howard

Our Father, how tenderly
thou hast dealt with us! We
know too we'll how little we
have deserved at thy hand and
how lavishly thy mercies have
been bestowed upon us. Thy
judgments have seemed kindly
in the face of what we know
about ourselves. And thou dost
know infinitely more about us
than we do! Our Father, for
give us, and change the de-
sireS of our hearts so that we
shall not incline toward the
things that draw us away from
thee. Thou hast given us WIS.,
ions of thyself at times when
we could not lift our eyes to
thee. For this we thank thee.
And we bow in humility before
thee, earnestly longing for the
fulfilling of thy purpose of love
and joy in our lives, so that
we may render unto thee the
service Of pure hearts. In Jc-
sus' name. Amen.

The appeal of the women Of Ger
many to the women of America for
help through Mrs. Wilson might well
IL answered by stating that there arr
a number of mothers and wives III

never return, and until the rough edg
es of the grief of American mothers
wears off, and heartaches are stilled,

COLUMBUS AND WILSON.

1t was the vision of Columbus to
circumnavigate the globe. What that
vision meant in his day cannot be
comrrehended now. Men in general,
the church and most scientists could
not believe the theory that the earth
was round. He was a hereto, lu-
matte, in the popular mind, and per-
haps the indomitable persistence of
the great navigator was bets shown
by the determination with which he
combatted the powerful influences
and persuaded her majesty Isabella
OF Castillo to furnish funds for his
voyage of exploration. He opened
the way for all mankind to become
one community. 1t has required four

NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Most people think that the Con-
stitution or some authority or other
forbids the President leaving tn.
shores of the United States. This
seems to be an erroneous opinion.
President Harrison, Mr.. Roosevelt,
and Mr.. Taft each made trips outside
our boundaries. However, there is
precedent, at least, to justify the
Presidents trip to France.

natural to get up sympathy for Il
class Of people who did all they could
to wreck us and ruin the world. If the
Germans shall feel the pinchings of
hunger and the horrors of starvation
they will be getting taste of what
they caused others to suffer without
mercy. Let them suffer II willie and

The boys are marching, but it is
Il triumphal march! The Germans
have been ordered to "move on" and
the boys are seeing to it that the or
der is obeyed. 1t is not known where
our boys in the army Of occupation
will eat their Thanksgiving dinner.
One thing is certain. Kaiser Bill, if
he eats Thanksgiving dinner at all
it wont be eaten in Paris, and not
even in his own home town. His
right to II slice of Turkey even,
is beyond him. No doubt, he'll get
around the corner in some side street
of Holland and kick himself and

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
BY TIE PRESIDENT.

Washington, Nov. 49, President
Wilson, in a proclamation issued to-
day, designated Thursday, November
28th as Thanksgiving Day, and said
this year the American people have
special and moving cause to be CRATE

The proclamation follows:
Thanksgiving, 1918.
by the President of the United States
of America:
A Proclamation:
1t has 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 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 to US as mere cessation of
arms, mere relief from the strain
and tragedy of war. It has come to
US as great triumph of right. Com
plete victory has brought us, not
peace alone, but the confident prom
Use of new day rs well in which
justice shall replace force and zeal
Gus intrigue among the nations. Our
gallant armies have participated in
n triumph, which is not married or
stained by any purpose of selfish ag-
gicssion. In righteous cause thew
have won immortal glory and have
nobly served their nation in serving
mankind. God has indeed been gra-
cious. We have cause for such rejoinc-
ing as revives and strengthens in H.,
all the best traditions of our 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.
Should Seek Divine Guidance.
While we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
Divine guidance i'm the performance
of these duties, and Divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors of act or
purpose, and pray that in all that we
do we sholl strengthen the ties of
friendship and mutual respect upon
which we must assist to build the
new structure of peace and good
will among the nations.
Wherefore, |, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-eighth day of No
vember, next, as a day of thanksgiv-
ing and prayer and invite the people
throughout the land to cease upon
that day from their ordinary occu-
pations and in thei several homes and
places of worship to render thanks
to God, the ruler of the nations.
In witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal

The committee managing the war

point of their weekly purchases.
For Instance, ten members each buy
ing one thrift stamp per week will
every month supply a soldier with
one gas mask. Twenty members each
buying one war savings stamp per
month in twelve months will equip
fifty men with rifles. Fifty members
each buying one thrift stamp per
week will every month provide anes-
thetics for making four hundred op-
