PRESIDENT PRoCLAlMs THURSDAY, NOV. IT,

the country looked forward with confidence to the
dawn of where the sacrifices Of the nations will
find recompense in world at peace"
The proclamation follows
SPY the President of the United States of America
"A Proclamation.
'The season of the year has again arrived when the
people of the United States accustomed to unite in
giving thanks to Almighty God for the blessings which
he has conferred upon country during the twelve
months that have passed. year ago our people poured
out their hearts in praise and thanksgiving that through
divine aid the right wac victorious and peace had come
to the nations which had courageously struggled in
defense of human liberty and justice Now that the stern
task is ended and the fruits of achievement are ours
look forward with confidence to the dawn of an era
where the sacrifices of the nation will find recompense
in world of peace
'But to attain the contamination of the great work
to which the American people devoted their manhood and
the vast of thed country they should as they
give thanks God reconsecrate themselves to these prn
cpes of right which trumphed through his mercifu good
ness. Our gratitude find more pressing express
sion than to bulwark with loyalty and patriotism those
principles for which the free peoples of the earth fought
and died
During the past year have had much to make us
grateful in spite of the confusion in our economic life
resulting from the have passed Our harvests
have been plntfu and of abundance we have been
able to render to less favored nations Our de
mocracy remains mistaken in world torn with political
and social unrest, Our traditional ideals are still our
guides in the path of progress and civilization.
"These great blessingsf vouchsafed to u.s. for which
we devoutly give thanks, should arouse to a fuller
of duty to ourselves and to mankind to see to
it that nothing may do shall mar the completeness
of the victory which helped to win No selfish pur
pose animated in becoming participant in the world
war; and with like spirit of unselfshness we should
strive to aid by example and by our cooperation in
realizing the enduring welfare of all peoples and in |
bringing into being world ruled by friendship and good
WILL
Therefore, l. Woodrow Wilson President of the United
States of America hereby designate the 9th day of
November next for observance day of Thanksgiving
and prayer by my fellow countrymen inviting them to
cease on that day from their ordinary tasks and unite
IN their homes and in their several places of worship
ascrbing praise and thanksgiving to Cod the author of
all blessings and the master Of our destiuies." I

That the principal sufferers from
lack of clothing among the refugee
population are the women and chill
dren. is shown from the report OF one
Red Gross clothing dispensary IN
Paris, covering the months OF Septem'
ber,. October, November and Decem'
ber last. 1t aided 7.76S refugees, dis.
tributing among them 40,S17 garments
Of the number aided 6,l12 were Wo-
men and children and LITE were men,
Up to September / Of last year the
Red Cross hal distributed nearly hall
million articles of clothing to refu'
gees in the Paris district alone.
An illustration of the increasing de
mand for clothing among the refugees

the western district Of the country. II

During hostilifies the refugees
were driven from their homes by
German bon,bardment, or, It they
attempted to remain 10 the path OF
the Huns advance, they were made
civIlian prisoners and deported to
Germany to work In the Boches
fields and factories. With the ar
mistice their thoughts and amni
tions turned toward the places they
once knew as home, and following
the Irresistible call Of their hearts
they came back to find nothing but
desolation and ruin.
All over that immense waste OF
territory known as the devastated
and liberated areas, they can be
found today living m dusouts that
served as shell shelters for the con-
tending armies, in rudely construct
| ed shacks and dark cellars.

70 20241. In the months of Septem-
ber. October, November and Decem.
ber last, the Red Cross had distribut.
ed clothing to 373,O19 refugees outside
of the Paris district.
Some idea Of the enormous need
for clothing among the refugees
of the devastated and liberated
regions of France and Belgium
can be obtained from Red Cross
report which shows that up to last
fall It had distributed t,629,ooo ar
ticles of clothing and 100000 pairs
Of shoes. In addition it gave l..
100000 yards Of cloth.
And the Red Cross heads admit that
it has been impossible to supply any
where near the complete needs o.
these stricken people in the matter O
clothing and shoes. Funds and facili
ties are inadequate for the purchas.n>
and making of new clothing. In tn
donation of old clothing that can b.
salvaged they see the only way II
which the serious problem of thes
unfortunate Allies can be solved

was signed there were In Paris approx
inately 100000 refugees unable to re-
turn to their homes before spring. One
Of the main reasons why they could
not 60 back Immediately to begin work
Of reconstructing their wrecked homes
and commence life anew was because
they lacked Che proper clothing TO-
Withstand the rigors of winter.
Commenting on the situation, q re-
port of the Red Cross says: There
remains other tens OF thousands in the
novels OF Paris, living In compact
masses, in overcrowded quarters,
without furniture, without clothing
and often without any means OF live
llihood except the small pension ae-
corded by the government. These per-
sons who have come from the deVas.
tated area or had lived under German
rule from one to four years, needed
ssery form of Red Cross assistance.
