settled largely by New Workers and
New Englanders, but the South was
tardy in adopting the Idea.
Although Governor Johnson Of Vir-
ginia designated Thanksgiving day In
1858, his successor, Governor Wise,
when requested to do so, publicly de-
cllned on the ground that he had no
authority to interfere in the religious
matters Of the people.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, Mrs.
Hale was welding her faciIe pen In a
jealous crusade to have Thanksgiving
day established as a national festival
and observed upon a uniform date
throughout the country. For 20 years
she persisted in this agitation, not only
through the columns Of the two maya
zines which she edited, but in letters
which she wrote to all the presidents
and governors.
BY agreeing to establish the prece-
dent Of proclaiming the holiday on the
last Thursday of each November, Lin.
coin at last crowned her tireless efforts
with success, and no president has
failed to emulate his example.
So Sarah Josepha Hale may be right
fully termed the mother of our annual
nationwide festival of Thanksgiving.

WHY WORLD WAS
 AGAINST GERMANY
By Associated Press

Berlin, July 25.-"The reason why the whole world rose up against Prus- sia and Germany and not against Eng land Is plain to everyone who had ob- served the Prussian policy in Poland and the Prussian administration in AL sace." asserts Professor F. w. Foerster, of the University of Munich, writing In the Tageblatt.
 England practiced much night to be sure, but it has also given the world much freedom and justice.s he added she succeeded in reconciling the Boers whereas we were unable in forty years to regain the sympathies of the Asa tians who are German to the core That speaks volumes.
 "The isolation of Germany from Hague conferences Is irrefutable proof in dominating circles that Germany is
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-08-24

possessed of different mentality than the rest of the world"
 He charges Germany with having erred in the exchange of the Versailles notes on the question of guilt and states that many one-sided accusations might have been combated more effectively If Germany had not again endeavored to defend untemable positions with rank sophistries.
