Paris-The delegates Of the Ave
great powers are now in a position
to compare clearly their own aspira-
tions and those OF all their Allied
friends and to see the differences that
must be reconcfed. The maximum OF
hopes, often overlapping, has been
told freely and it remains for the
Peace Conference to adjust them into
a co-ordinated whole The desires Of
the several countries as presented
may be compressed thus:
France wants, first of all, Alsace-
Lorraine uneonditionally and the right
to discuss and ultimately to fix the
French frontiers in their relation to
the Rhine, which may require the
creation of buffer states. One Of
these would be the Palatinate and an
other Rhenish Prussia. France de-
sires also to annex the basin OF the
sarre river, which might be called a
remuneration.
France will insist that, so far as
the left bank OF the Rhine farther to
the north is concerned, the conference
should forbid military works OF any
kind-barraeks, bridgeheads, forts and
fortresses-in that zone. The feeling
IS That the people inhabiting that
zone, should be free to decide for
themselves whether they wish to Join
France, form an Independent state or
return to Germany.
The French bill for reparation is not
yet complete, but it has been an
nounced in the Chamber of Deputies
that it will be about $4,000 1000, 900
francs
Great Britain's delegation believes
that society Of nations is desirable
and obtainable and that it must be
established by the present Peace Con.
ference. She advances no continental
purposes other than those of a per
manent and just peace under prin.
ciple OF self-determination and that
there shall be international freedom
of transit by railroads and waterways.
which is Great Britain's general def.
milton of freedom Of commerce in
times Of peace.
Great Britain would take mandatory
power over the German Islands south
of the equator for Australia and over
German Southwest Africa for the I'm.
ion of South Africa. She also would
have the mandate over German East
Africa and some parts of Arabia, and

the best interests of the city, was most
trustworthy friend and man Of good
judgment. For many years he was
director in The City National Bank of
Belfast. In the home life conditions were
ideal Quietly and gladly he sought op-
portunity to assist the unfortunate and
poor. He was we'll known all over Maine
as he had travelled since early manhood
for the Berry Shoe Store in Portland.
His only brother, William Walden of Bos-
ton, came here Monday to remain until
after the funeral An aunt, Miss Pauline
Walden of Pasadena, Calf, and niece,
Mrs Mabel w. Brown of Lynn, survive.
The funeral was held at his late home at
p m. Tuesday with Rev. Arthur E.

floral offerings were beautiful, The
bearers were Messrs. Robert P. Chase,

P. Hazeltine and Selwyn Thompson.

THANKSGIVING

The harvests are gathered, the fields are
bare,
The chill of the autumn is on the air.
The brook in the meadow, still fringed
with sedge,
Feels the touch of the ice-kng at it's edge.
The mountains beyond the broad river
Snow. silvered, they shine as the daylight
dies.
The north wind sweeps where the reapers
sang,
And the earth is hard where the fresh
grain sprang
The toilers are gone with laughter and
lest,
The greensward's asleep, and the forests
rest.
One robin sings late on the leaf-bare
bough;
TIe last of its kind twill be winter now
Cold, dreary, and dark is the world to-
night;
But the home within is aglow with light
The table is loaded with homely cheer,
The fruit of the goodness that crowns the
year,
Praise God; It's from Him that all bles-
sings flow;
Praise Him, all we creatures in earth be-
low.
Where the fire leaps high by the hearth
they kneel
To voice the thanksgiving glad hearts
should feel

STATE OF MAINE
Proclamation BY the Governor

Seldom since the first New England
Thanksgiving Day has there been greater
cause for gratitude to Almighty God, or
graver need to seek His blessing and His
sustaining guidance.
BY the favor of Divine Providence, our
Nation has in large measure escaped the
riot and disaster which in tie aftermath
of war distress threatens to overwhelm
so much of the civilized world.
But in the seething unrest so prevalent
in industrial centers and in occasional
fierce outbreaks of selfishness and greed,
are plainly to be seen symptoms of pos
sible caIamities no less appalling even in
our own land.
The future offers sure defence against
this peril except the power of the spirit
Of God in the hearts of all Americans, re-
deeming them from self-seeking, and in
spring them to mutual understanding and
helpfulness.
Now, therefore, I, Carl E. Milliken,
Governor of Maine, do hereby designate
and proclaim Thursday, the twenty
seventh day of November, a day of
Thanksgiving and prayer.
And while returning thanks to God foI
MS abundant bounty, let Us humbIy be-
SeeCh HIM to save us from selfishness
anu cruelty anu 10 renew WltTln US lnat
devotion to truth and righteousness which
shall safeguard the fruits of the victory
for which so many Of our countrymen
hive fought and died
Done at the Executive Chamber in the
State House at Augusta, on the twenty
second day Of November, in the year of
our Lord, nineteen hundred and nineteen
of the Independence of the United States
of America the one hundred and forty

ninety ninth.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my nand and cause the seal of the
State to be affixed.
