HARVEST FESTIVALS OF OLD
Greeks and Romans Had Days OF
Thanksgiving for the Fruitful
Gifts Of the Earth.

Greece, In the months of August and
September of each year, after the har-
vest had been gathered, celebrated the
great feast known as the Eleusinia, or
the feast to Demeter of the beautiful
robe. Demeter, the great earth-moth-
er, was the goddess of cornfields and
h~arvests. Her daughter, ~Persephone,
while gathering flowers n day, was
kidnapped by Pluto. Deneter searched
for her long by land and sea, and at
last learned that her lost daughter had
been married to Pluto, the dark spec
ter of the underworld, and hat she
was now his queen In the realm be-
low. But Persephone had eaten a
pomegranate seed and could remain
with her mother only part OF the year.
This made Demeter angry, and she left
the gods and made her dwelling upon
the earth. She taught Celeus, king Of
Eleusis, agriculture, how to pillow, sow
and reap. This feast was one of the
grandest OF the Greek festivals.
The Romans celebrated a harvest
festival called the Cerealia. 1t took
Its name from Ceres, who vas the
Demeter Of the Romans. and the feast
vas celebrated at ONE time ia the
month of October. Sacrifices of the
best fruits and honey cakes were of
fered up In the temple. Professions
were made to the fields by men and
women dressed In white and crowned
with oak leaves and peoples. Ceres
was represented In a chariot drawn
by dragons, her head crowned with a
garland of corn ears, and holding a
basket of poppies In her hand. This
festival vas a general holiday time,
Coming down to q more modern
time, we read of thanksgivings In Hol-
land and In England, the recollectio..
of whose harvest homes" perhaps,
inspired the Puritans to inaugurate the
custom In this country. The first
Thanksgiving on American soil, ac-
cording to the well credited ch%rOnicler,
Edward Winslow. was held in 1921. 10
months after the landing Of the Pill
grims, when, the crops being garnered,
they felt spring up within their hearts
a feeling of praise and thanksgiving.
II lasted almost a week, and was par
ticipated in by King Massasoit and
90 of his braves. who were Toasted and
entertained for three days, the new
corners showing their guests their pro-
fciency in arms. experiences In wres-
Ting. etc. To show their prowess In
turn, "the Indians went put and killed
five deer, which they brought to the
plantation and bestowed on the gov
ernor and upon Captain Miles Standisb
and others, a line contribution to the
feast.

DAY OF UNIVERSAL PRAISE
Sor All Its Blessings the Nation Lifts
Its Hands to the Lord in
Grateful Thanks.

Such sentiment as is aroused by the
the note of praise for multimillion
souls. could not be set to poets verse
or framed in choral chant. Deep down

such as have W yet been known to
other nations of the earth. Into the
churches at the usual hour the wor
shippers will pour and from their doors,
when comes the end OF praise and
song, will pass those worshipers again,
with loftier views and freer minds and
with their souls tuned to the senti-
ments that are expressed from all the
pulpits of the nation on the cay on
which the people offer their thanks
to God.
For all the blessings to the land.
this day the nation lifts its hands In
humble praise; for all the blessings
to the homes the land lifts up its eyes
TO God in gratitude for all the signal
signs Of Gods goodwill the land will
give It's praise in thought, In word, In
act. Although the curtain of the fu-
ture falls across the vistas and the
prospect hides, nj n has fear the
land will not be free from all the
harsh disorders of the earth, and saved
to sanctify the world anew to the
pleasant things of peace and lasting
Joy. For the bright prospect of the
nations use in The fa~st-crowding years
to come, the people give their praise
and in their prayers they lift their
thoughts with faith to the Lord, who
says in perfect peace he keeps the
ones whose thoughts and hearts are
stayed on him. For all his ways are
pleasantness, his paths are peace, the
psalmist says.
So for its cheer, for its gift of peace,
so for the record of blessings felt and
those in prospect yet, the people give
their heartfelt thanks, making this day
that sees other nations wrecked by the
battles effect, a day peculiar for its
cause for praise. And thus, though
sobered, will the cheer abound in
myriad hearts on this great day for
praise and giving thanks.

probably obtained on q recent trip to
court for arraignment. Apparently
there was laxity in his case on the
part of guards charged with his search
and supervision.
1t is difficult to understand how this
escape could be managed without de-
lection. That the bars Of two windows
could have been sawed through from
the outside or the inside without mo-
lestation is an alarming sign of in
attentive watching. The case bears
plain signs of a serious lack of alert
ness on the part of those on duty at
the jail. A rigid investigation should
be held and those responsible for this
condition held strictly to account.
Meanwhile, with these seven fugi-
tives at large, one of them insane,
there is work for the police to do.
Crime is unusually prevalent in Wash
ington at this time, with many assaults

pecially important that extraordinary

years in London, engaged with routine
business and the social duties of the
station.
But in little more than a year after
Mr.. Page had entered upon his mis-
sion, and before he had had time to
shake down in his place. the European
war broke out and changed the whole
scope and aspect of things. Even be-
fore America entered the war his duties
had multiplied and become complex
and after his country became a bel
ligerent they became exceedingly diff
fcult.
But he discharged them all with per-
feet success. giving himself freely to
the service. and impairing his health
thereby.
Mr.. Page had both an official and a
personal triumph in London. He be-
came, as his predecessors in the en-
bassy had been, toast in social and
literary life. His public addresses
were sincerely admired. He appeared
frequently at functions notable for
their intellectual composition, and in
that and other ways contributed much
to the tide of good feeling between
England and America which was tiow-
ing.
A trained diplomacy has often been
urged on US, as something that would
strengthen us in our dealings with
other nations; and there is good deal
to he said in favor of the suggestion.
And yet, in tie case of Mr.. Page and
in many other cases. we have seen an
unframed man, but of high general
equipment and accomplishments, dis
tinguish himself and serve the coun-
try most satisfactorily in diplomatic
circumstances of a very trying char
acter.

Wholesale Jail Breaking.

A veritable epidemic Of escapes
from custody developed yesterday in
this District. A dangerous prisoner,
charged with the murder of three po-
lice officers, cut his way out of the Dis
trict Jail. A prisoner at Occoquan
quilted that institution and four
TRUSTEES from there working in this
city slipped past their guard. A
patient at st. Elizabeth left the in
stitution and two boys deserted from
the National Training School, making
a total of seven fugitives within twen-
ty-four hours.
In the case of the escape from the
Jail there are indications of outside
assistance, but it is evident that the
