TO BAR FOOD CORNERS
France Plans to Prevent Boost
in Prices.
Food Minister Is inclined Toward
Monthly Ratlonino Scheme-Po-
tatoes Plentiful.

Paris.-M. Victor Boret, the French
food minister, 1t Is said will bring be-
fore the cabinet important measures
for preventing the increase In meat
prices and in the c~ornering of sup
plies. The commission that he sent
to London, 1t Is understood. has re-
ported unfavorably on the introduc-
ton, for the present at least, of the
English meat card.
The French bread card has given
good results and the food minister in
cllnes toward the monthly meat card,
which for 10 days will entitle the
holder to two and q half ounces of
meat, for eight days four and a
half ounces Of tripe, rabbit or fowl, and
for four days six ounces of cold meat.
He points out that the French herds
have suffered much more than the Eng
fish, there being larger supplies of
fish and frozen meat In England than
In France. M. Boret adds that there
are plenty of potatoes. that he Is try
ing to increase the catch of fish, and
that larger quantities of macaroni In
Its various forms will be available.
Parisians who sometimes find that
their baker supplies them with bread
of a darker -four than usual are adj
vised In a note issued by the food min
istry not to make this a reason for
6uying at another shop. The varia-
ton In the color is due to the fact
that some of the whaat imnortad from
the United States Is for reasons of
tonnage economy not refined to the
same degree as In France, and trans
port difficulties sometimes prevent the
making OF uniform mixtures. AS the
same variety of flour is rarely deliv.
cred twice In succession to the same
baker, 1t is In the customers inter
est that he should always make his
purchase at the same shop.

Washingt0n.--P President Wilson In
proclamation designated Thursday, No

he said, has brought not only peace,

The proclamation follows:
1T 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 nation. This year we have spe-
cfal and moving cause to be grateful
and to rejoice. God in His good pleas
uer has given US peace. 1t has not
come as a mere cessation of arms, a
mere relief from the strain and TRACE
dy of war. 1t has come as a great tri-
umph of right. Complete victory has
brought us not peace alone, but the
confident promise of new day as
well, In which justice shall replace
force and jealous intrigue among the
nations. Our gallant armies have par
ticipated In triumph which is not
married or stained by any purpose of
selfish aggression. In righteous
cause they have won immortal glory
and have nobly served their nation in
serving mankind. God has indeed been
gracious. We have cause for such re-
joicing as revives and strengthens In
us all the best traditions of our ma
tional 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.
Seek Divine Guidance.
''While we render thanks for these
things. let us not forget to seek the d.
vine guidance in the performance OF
those duties, and divine mercy ana for
giveness for all errors of act or pur-
pose, and pray that in all that we do
we shall strengthen the ties of friend
ship and mutual respect upon which
we must assist to build the new struc-
ture of peace and good will among the
nations.
Wherefore, /, Woodrow Wlson,
president of the United States of Amer
lea, do hereby designate Thursday, the
2Sth day of November next, as day
of thanksgiving and prayer, and in
vite the people throughout the land to
cease upon that date from their ordi-
nary occupations and in their several
homes and places Of worship to render
thanks to God, the ruler of nations.

set my hand and caused the seal Of
the United States to be affixed.
