Wilson Signs ExecutiDe
Order for Price-Fixing
THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION

Washington, Nov. 5.--President
Wilson issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation:
1.-THE season OF the year has again
arrived when the people OF the
United States are accustomed to
giving thanks to Almighty God for
the blessings which He has con-
ferred upon our country during the
twelve months that have passed A
year ago our people poured out taG,r
hearts In, praise and thanksgiving
that through Divine aid the right was
victorious and peace had come TO the
nations which had so courdSeorsly
struggled in defense of human lh-
erty and justice. Now that the stern
task is ended and the fruits of
achievement are ours, we look FOR
ward with confidence to the dawn of
an era where the sacrifices Of the
nations will find recompense in q
world at peace.
"But to attain the contamination
of the great work to which the Amer
lean people devoted their manhood
and the vast resources OF fhoir
country they should, as they give
thanks to God. reconsecrate tlicm-
selves to those principles Of right
which triumphed through His merci-
full goodness. Our gratitude can find
no more pressing expression than to
bulwark with loyalty and patriotism
those principles for which the free
peoples of the earth fought and died.
During the past year we have had
much to make us grateful. In spite OF
the confusion In our economic life re-
sulting from the war we have pros
pered Our harvests have been plenti-
full and of our abundance we have been
able to render succor to less favored
nations. Our democracy remains un-
shaken in world torn with political
and social unrest Our traditional ideals
are still our guides in the pain OF prog
ress and civilization.
''These greater blessings vouchsafed
to us, for which we devoutly give
thanks, should arouse us to a fuller
sense OF our duty to ourselves and to
mankind to see to that nothing we may
victory which we helped to win. No
selfish purpose animated us in becorn-
ing participants In the world war. and
with like spirit Of unselfshness we
should strive to aid by our example
and by our cooperation In realizinfi the
enduring welfare of all peoples and In
bringing into being n world ruled by
friendship and good will.
"wherefore +, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States OF Amer
lea, hereby designate Thursday, the
27th day of November next, for OBJ
servance as a day of Thanksgiving and
prayer by my fellow countrymen. In

Deportation Of Civilians
Was Really Distasteful

Berlin, Nov. 5.-The German army
high command was held responsible
for the deportation of Belgian and
French civilians during the war, by
Former Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, when he resumed giving
testimony before the war guilt COM
mission of the national assembly.
The former German chancellor was
asked how he justified the deporta-
tions after the United States had pro-
tested against them. He gave an
evasive answer, saying:
'The deportations were distastefuI
to me, but the military officials de-
manded them. 1 personally called
Gen. Won Kissing, former German
military governor of Belgium, for
conference, and then sent him to Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, and Gen.
Ludendorff. Won Bissing did not op-
pose the policy of deportations so
much as he did the methods. The
military authorities insisted that Ger
many faced a labor crisis and that
more workers were necessary"
Asked if he knew that thousands
of deported Belgians had died, V,n
Bethmann- Hollweg evaded the ques-
tion. but added:
81 knew that more we're deported
than was necessary"

Tells STORY OF
LAST BATTLE
Gen. Pershing Said Plan Was
to Fight Right Up to
Last Moment.
~
HAD TW0.FoLD PURPOSE

Washington, Nov. 5.--with his
eyes dimmed with moisture, his words
spoken slowly !, and with traces Of
emotion, Gen. John j. Pershing this
afternoon told for the first time his
own story of the last battle of the
great war to the joint military affairs
committee of the house and senate.
II hope 1t is the last" said the gen.
eral when he had finished his story.
II was notified late on the night of
the 10TH" said Gen. Pershing. "by
courier from Gen. Foch's headquar-
ters that the Germans would sign the
next morning at II o'clock. The
agreement was to fight right UP to
the minute they signed. The purpose
of this was twofold--first. to encour-
age their signatures, and second, be-
cause we did not trust them or their
motives.
"At o'clock in the morning of the
11th / was in touch with Gen. Foch's
headquarters by special communica-
tion, and was informed that indica-
tions were that the Germans would
sign as agreed.
Communication with field COM
manders was Immediately established
and instructions issued not to cease
until II o'clock hut that unless adj
vised to the CO to cease firing
at 10:59:30 OF = morning Of the

was still in doubt this morning with
both sides claiming the governorship
by small margin.
E. Brooke Lee, democratic candi-
date for comptroller, carried Balti-
more by nearly 5000 plurality, which
it was conceded was enough to as
sure his slection. The rest of the
state tcket-attorney general and
clerk of the court of appeals-was as
doubtful as the governorship early
today.
The legislature also was in doubt.
Albert C. Ritchic, the democratic
nominee, carried Baltimore city by
1,735 plurality over Harry w. Nice,
his republican opponent. The vote
was Ritche, 53,s71; Nice, 52,236.
Trenton, N. j., Nov. 5.-Edward l..
Edwards, democrat, was elected gov
ernor of New Jersey yesterday over
Newton A. X. Bugbee, republican.
With only forty-three districts In the
state missing, he had a plurality of
10,575. AS returns were received
from the democratic stronghold In
the northern part of 1he state an
early advantage held by Bugbee was
wiped out and Hudson county sent
plurality.
The vote in 1868 districts out of
2,011 was: Edwards, 206,615; Bugbee,
196,040.
Nonpartsans Light.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.-Returns to-
day indicate that not more than
twenty nonpartisan league delegates
were elected to the state constitu-
tional. convention, which meets in
Lincoln the first Monday in Decem-
ber.
All candidates ran on a nonparti-
san ticket, the only issue being an
alleged effort on the part of the nom
partisan league to gain control of the
convention.
Mississippi Democrats Win.
Jackson, Miss, Nov. 5.-Mississippi
democrats today are estimating their
plurality in yesterdays general cleo
tion at $4,000. Lee NJ. Russell, for
governor and ii. III. Casteel was
chosen lieutenant governor.
The socialists state candidates,
which furnished the only real oppo-
sition to the democrats, polled less
than 10000 votes.
Texas for Amendments.
Dallas, Tex, Nov. 5.--Results of
Yesterdays statewide election were
still in doubt today, and additional
returns were awaited to determine
what disposition the voters had made
of the six proposed constitutional
amendments and constitutional
convention resolution. Late figures
indicated the probable adoption of
two of the amendments; the SEEM
ing defeat of two, with the other two
entirely in doubt. The resolution
providing for a constitutional con-
vehtion apparently was defeated.
An amendment authorizing Calves
ton to issue $5,000,000 in bonds for
harbor protection purposes and one
increasing from to z cents on each
500 the tax levy for Confederate vet
erans' pensions are believed to have
been adopted.
One of the amendments regarded
as defeated provided $75,00O,000 for
good roads. The other pertained TO
special taxes for town and county
improvements. The two in doubt
would accord dependents of convicts
share in the prison profits and sep
arate the University of Texas and
the Texas Agricultural college.

GOVERNMENT
+. OPTIMISTIC
Despite Statements by Own
ers and Strikers That Coal
Strike Will Last Long.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-Confronted by
statements of both miners and op.
orators that the country was in for
long struggle in the bituminous coal
fields, where production virtually has
been at a standstill since the ma
tionwide strike of miners went into
effect at midnight Friday night, gov
ernment circles today still apparently
were pervaded by an under current
of optimism regarding an early settle
ment of the walkout. Indications
were tho mine workers leaders and
the coal mine operators were SPAR
ring for an opening that might Iead
to an amicable settlement of the dis
pute.
Illinois Mines Closed.
Springfield, H., Nov. 5.-"All mines
in the state closed. No disturb
ances."
This is the terse answer from I'LL
nois miners union and of the coal
operators here today to inquiries re-
garding the strike.
Union heads continue to predict a
long struggle, while operators are OPP
timistic that the end is in sight. The
latter believe that an agreement will
be reached before the close of the
present week.
Operators said today the strike is
reducing the production of coal in
the state approximately 100000 tons
day, or 100000 tons a week. 1t is
costing the miners in wages. they
declare, approximately $500, 900 a day,
or $3500. 900 a week.
Pinch Not Far Distant.
with the fifth day of the strike
there were indications that the pinch
of a fuel famine Is not far distant.
Information received through state
sources said many public utility con-
Germs were without reserve supplies
of coal.
Slump in railroad freight tonnage
resulting fron3 the strike has caused
rigid curtailment of freight train
crews throughout Illinois, reports re-
ceived here indicated.
Statements of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor. that dissolving of the fed
eral injunction, which has stopped
the activities of the miners leaders
in forwarding the strike might point
the way to peace, and of John l..
Lewis. acting president of the United
Mine Workers of America, that nego-
tiations could start any time. were
pointed to as Indicative of the will
ingness of the working men to nego-
tiate Their desire that the injunc-
tion be vacated. however, was equaled
by the operators demand that as a
preliminary to negotiations the strike
be called off.
