(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. President
Wilson yesterday set aside Thursday,
Nov. 27, as Thanksgiving Day, in a
proclamation which said the country
looked forward with confidence to
the dawn of an era where the sacri-
fees of the nations will find recon-
pense in a world at peace
The proclamation follows:
by the President Of the United States
of America proclamation:
"This season of the year has again
arrived when the people of the United
States are accustomed to unite in CIV
ing thanks to Almighty God for the
blessings which He has conferred up
on our country during the twelve
months that have passed. A year ago
our people poured out their hearts In
praise and Thanksgiving that through
divine aid the right was victorious
and peace had come to the nations
which had so courageously struggled
in defense of human liberty and JUS
tlce. Now that the stern task is
ended and. the fruits Of achievement
are ours, we look forward with con-
fidence to the dawn of an era where
the sacrifices of the nations will find
recompense in world at peace.
But to attain the consummatior
of the great work to which the Amer
lean people devoted their manhood
and the vast resources of their coun
try they should, as they give thanks
to God, reconsecrate themselves t
those principles of right which tri
umphed through His merciful good
ness. Our gratitude can find no NOR
perfect expression than to bulwarl
with loyalty and patriotism thos
principles for which the free people
of the earth fought and died.
During the past year we have ha
much to make us grateful. In spite O
the confusion in our economic Lift
resulting from the war, we hav
prospered. Our harvests have bee
plentiful and of our abundance W
have been able to render succor t
less favored nations.
Our democracy remains unshake

social unrest Our traditional ideal
are still our guides in the path {
progress and civilization.

BELGIUM RAPIDLY RECOV.
ERING FROM EFFECTS OF WAR

Brussels, Oct. 6.-All Belgium Is re-
turning to work and the country is
recovering rapidly from the war. In
Brussels factories which were dam
aged during the German occupation
are being fitted with machinery, and
some of them already are turning out
their accustomed products to within
a few percent of the pre-war capacity.
Production of sugar exceeds the
pre-War tonnage. Glass factories are
reopening. In the iron and steel mills
many plants have resumed operations,
particularly in the Liege district
where some of the mills were com
pletely demolished and others so
badly damaged that entire blast furn
aces had to be rebuilt. Within a year
it is believed, the most important OF
these plants will be operating to ca
pacity.
The cotton trade of Client also has
resumed, and steamers loaded will
American cotton are arriving almos
daily. During the German occupa
ton all copper fittings were removed
from the machines in the spinning
factories, and some of these have no
yet been replaced.
The linen industry also has takeI
on new life, and additional worker
are being employed every week. TIL
export trade in linen is growing jus
as rapidly as the factories can turf
out the finished product.
1t is in the country districts, how
ever, where one sees the Belgian a
his best. In the vast garden countr
which stretches from Brussels to tn
sea scarcely a square foot of groun
is left uncultivated, so anxious are tn
people to produce their own food, an
they are working from early NOR
until late at night to attain that enc
Apparently there is no scarcity 9
food in Belgium. 1t is costly in town
and cities, but in the country the pei
pie have now gathered their first ha
vest since the war, and are in nee
of nothing. Even butter is bein
! served in the hotels, and In ever
house there is no longer the fear {
starvation which for SO many veal
made life burden. Many person
are convinced that this time next We;
will see the country very well on Il
way to recovery.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 6.-Late re-
turns today from Tuesdays prohibi-
ton election in Ohio seemed to
shatter the earlier prediction Of
Secretary of State Smith that the
drys had carried the four prohibition
proposals voted upon by majorities
ranging as high as seventy-flve thou
sand. Unofficial returns from fifty
nine counties, including all wet cen
tiers and big cities, showed wet ma
jorities on all four proposals and un-
usually large wet majorities against
ratification of national prohibition
and the state prohibition enforcement
act.

THE BLACK MAN

Washington. Ia, Democrat-We had
hoped the war would indicate the
black mans l~oftiaess Of purpose and
that he would be given his place IN
the world. But it seems not. 1t seems
the black man has to pay the penalty
for being black. The big papers try
to tell us that the black men are ask
ing for race equality, but we greatly
doubt it. At least we do not believe
the black race Is asking or expecting
social equality. We take 1t that all
the negro r for is an equal chance,
and at present he does not get half
q chance. He has to re content with
the most mental work at all times. He
Is not wanted in the trades nor in the
professions o In business. but he is
confined to the dreariest kind of toll
But when It comes to fighting. he Is
as loyal to his country as any white
man. He asks no questions. but obeys
