DEBTS OF HUERTA AND
 CARVAJAL REPUDIATED

MEXICO CITY, Nov 25 (by Associ- ated Press) The Mexican govern ment does not recognize debts con tracted by the Victoriano Huerta and Francisco Carvajal regimes, and will not pay any claims based upon dam ages suffered during the period these two men were president, according to a statement issued by Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury. This was evoked by an assertion, credited to Senator Fall of the United States sen ate committee Investigating Mexican affairs, that the present government has such financial responsibilities.
 Secretary Cabrero declared the presidencies of Huerta and Carvajal were anti-democratic and unconstitu- tional, and imposed no obligations on the present government.

LET US BE THANKFUL

Gratitude is a virtue too often in- adequately expressed However. it does not follow that we are wholly or even seriously deficient in apprecia- tlon because of failure to be continu- ally openly acknowledging indebted ness for multitude of blessings. An individual too quick or too profuse in expressions of thanks runs the risk of being regarded with a bit of sus- picion.
 In it's inner tabernacle the humble soul may daily sing praises for a con- tlnuance of blessings and by pre- dominance of such thoughts develop beauty and richness which will thrill and inspire when occasion demands that it should be heard. The nobility of our thoughts and not the multitude of our words determine our character. Thanksgiving is more a matter of at titude than of speaking. It is spir- itual
 This does not mean that we should be dumb in the presence of an abun- dance of good things showered upon us by Providence and by friends. Out of the abundance of a grateful heart the mouth should speak A virtue well developed can not be stif1ed- true character speaks through every act when words are scant.
 Thanksgiving should be a daily de- votion, unmarred by mockery or in sincerity. Such devotion was more predominant among our pious New England forebears than with us to- day. Comparatively scant as were their blessings and grievous as were their privations, they sincerely pro- fessed to find much occasion for daily thanksgiving Even with these de- votions a day of special thanksgiving and praise was deemed meet. And thus was born the beautiful custom of our annual Thanksgiving.

Impressive Welcome
Planned in T arliament
For Lady Nancy Astor

LONDON, Dec. Lady Nancy
Astor, first woman NJ. P, was to
take her seat in the house of COM
mons this afternoon amid impressive
welcome from her future co-workers
and high government officials.
1.-THE noble lady, the member from
Plymouth" officials have decided rC
address her. Premier Lloyd George
and Arthur Balfour, former premier,
were to act as her sponsors.
There was an unprecedented de-
mand for the meager seating ca.
pacity in the house. Huge crowds,
which had gathered to welcome the
Prince of Wales home from the
United States, planned to proceed
from this jubilation to the parlia-
ment building to welcome Lou
Nancy" to her seat among the law
makers. Hundreds of women, among
them many of Great Britain's old
time suffrage workers, were on hand
for the welcome. Former hunger
strike heroines, who saw in Lady
Nancy's election a partial realization
of their hopes, carried placards OF
victory and wore the Pankhurstiar
colors.
Mounted police were to escort the
viscountess' automobile to the par
lament building.
Knowing Lady Astor's habit of
quick action, many of her friends
expected her to make her maiden
speech in commons before tonight.
She may have an opportunity to
get the floor during the debate Oh
the lottery loan, they thought.

Congress May Extend
Lever Food Act for
6 Months After War

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-ExtensiOn
Of the Lever food and fuel control
act for six months after the procla-
nation of peace will be one of the
first measures to be considered by
the house in the regular session open
ing day.
With the governments efforts to
end the coal strike resting entirely
on the Lever act, a sudden ending OF
the war through peace resolution
or ratification of the treaty would
remove regulations on coal prices
and officials of the miners union
would be left free to prosecute the
strike, the injunction against it be
coming invalid.
The majority of the house agricul-
ture committee favored extension
when it was considered before the
adjournment of the special session
and in view of the threatened coal
famine, Republican Leader Mondell
hopes to pass the extension before
th9 end of the week.

IN WASHINGTON
