Almighty God, Who in earlier days
led our fathers forth into a large in
heritanee, give US grace, we humbly be
seeeh Thee to pass through these days
of unrest and turmoil IN confidence and
courage that what has been so we'll be-
gun will come to rich completeness.
Bless our land with the fruits of
honest toll Save us from the discord
which Misunderstanding brings. Keep
our feet in the path of righteousness
Teach us to love liberty and justice
and to practice them to the upbuilding
Of the entire world as well as our own
native land, Fashion into one people
the multitudes brought hither out Of
many countries and make them true
Americans
Give us grateful hearts for the
abundant harvests Of the year. In the
time Of our prosperity temper our self
confidence with the recollection that
= every good and every perfect gift is
from above Let no anxiety rob us
of the consciousness of Thine abiding
love Tn the day of trouble suffer not
our trust in Thee to fail. Be patient
with us when our purposes. break down
Or our endeavors seem of no avail.
Go with us into Thanksgiving Day.
Teach US to give thanks for all the
blessings of the time, to dread nothing
but tho 4oss of Thee and to perceive
the sun of Thine enduring love forever
shining behind every cloud.
Bless US all at the Thanksgiving
board. Be with those who cannot be
with US as well as those who can. Make
US, wherever we may be, one in that
unity of hope and faith and love which
neither time nor distance can destroy.
And send US forth into the future with
Thanksgiving faces and Thanksgiving
hearts-eager to labor, strong to en-
dure, and useful to the land we love.
Amen.

Make Frisnde wen The Furnace.

~~~@N~@R
Having sacrificed the family jewels
and bought supply Of coal, it now
behooves the careful householder to
look the furnace over carefully and lay
out his winter heating plans. Other
wise his hardwon prize will mostly
vanish up the chimney in smoke.
All furnaces should be carefully
cleaned; pipes, fire pot, ash pit and
every other part. Cracks in the furn-
ace should be repaired. They create
cross drafts and cause unnecessary con
sumption, Of fuel. Draft doors and
hampers should be looked to, to see
that they operate properly. Heat car
rying pipes should be covered with as
bestos to prevent loss Of heat ia tran
sit.
In addition to putting the furnace
in shape, much can be done TO aid III
fuel economy by making the house It
self sound with storm windows, wca-
Their strips and we'll banked founda-
tions. No unnecessary rooms should be
heated, nor should the family acquire
the habit Of living in oyerheated rooms.
This habit. which is very common, is
detrimental both to health and the coal
pile.
Last but not least, the stoker should
understood his furnace. A good IN.
Outstanding between the two, just like
good understanding between friends,
leads to warmth anu comfort.

ARREST KENOSHA MAN
ON ASSAULT CHARGE
Theodore Mileacewski, Accused With
Knocking Down Saloonkeeper's Wife
After Refusal to Pay Bill.

4n0OuVke NadAeac6WSk1, Accused With
Knocking Down Saloonkeeper's Wife
After Refusal to Pay Bill.
Refusal to pay a saloon bill and the
rough handling of the saloon man s
wife, who was tending bar. led to the
arrest Of Theodore Mileacewski, a Ke-
nosha man. Detectives Yanny and Peil
of Racine made the capture in Kenosha
yesterday afternoon, few hours after
the offense was committed.
As the story runs, three men, one of
whom is said to have been Mileacewski.
entered Stanley Redevich IS saloon at
1921 Douglas avenue, Racine, Tuesday
afternoon, and ordered a round of
drinks. Mrs. Agnes Redevich was dis
pensing the drinks. After the men had
drank the drinks, they refused to pay
for it, and started for the door. Mrs.
Redevich placed herself in front of the
door to head them off. Two of the men
struck her, knocking her to the floor.
Since she is in the delicate condition of
approaching maternity, her injuries are
considered especially serious.
One of the other men is a Kenosna
saloonkeeper, but he had no part in the
general trouble. He was outside when
his two friends assaulted Mrs. Rede-
vieh.
A charge of assault without regard
for human life has been preferred
against Mileacewski on complaint of
Mr.. Redevieh. The preliminary hear
ing was called by Court Commissioner
Benson, this morning, but was contin-
ued to December 8. Bond, set at $500,
has not been furnished by the prisoner.

He sought out friend high up in the

query as to Germany's strength,

remainder are scattered between the
Polish front and other cities in

A noticeable feature is that the
majority of troops are not along the
bolshevik front, but are scattered
over the country. The government

world loan enabling those coun
tries bankrupted by the war to re
habilitate themselves-these are the
immediate needs of the world to-
day in the opinion of Ralph d
Blumenfield, editor of the London
Daily Express. Blumenfield, who is
one of the most influential British
! publishers, was born in this country
but has lived in England for 27
years, during which time he has
been identified with the direction of
! large journalistic enterprises. His
present visit is his first to the

The question of quick peace is

Delay, no matter for what cause,
Is dangerous he declared in an in
terview with the United Press. "In
fact, had the peace settlement been

have been better off today. The un-
certainty would have ended prompt

"The close of the war found near

financial collapse. In four years
England spent all of her excess
wealth accumulated during 200 years
of commerce France and Italy are
financially exhausted. Only the
United States and Japan are able to
finance reconstruction on their own
account
How are these financially broken

nifty to resume her industry, to reha-
bilitate her commerce-to get on hei
feet.
ITO raise funds for such an un-
dertaking, world loan seems essen
tial. This would be for about
twenty-five billion dollars. Let us
say England takes 20 per cent, the
United States 20 per cent. France,
Italy and Germany large shares and
the other powers smaller amounts.
This money put into central
fund administered by the League of
I Nations, could be loaned to various
powers to enable them to pay their
debts and to finance their recon-
struction. 1t would also make it pos
sible to provide funds to Germany
to put her on her feet and enable
her to pay her just debt to the
world. Such loans as were made
from the central fund for recon-
struction work in any country-new
railroads, new industrial plants and
the like-would always be- secured
by this newly created physical prop
erty until such time as the country
involved could pay back the loan
and redeem the property.
Such plan would give the strick-
en- countries of the world-even the
enemy countries-work and hope,
the two greatest factors in setting
up their self-respect."
Blumenfeld declared that the war
had measurably increased the good
feeling in Great Britain towards the
United States.
mo single factor contributed more
to that result than the splendid cons
duct of the American soldiers in
England" he said. "The recent
trouble between the police and
American soldiers in London was
due principally to the stupidity of a
London policeman. The conduct Of
the Yankee soldiers was consistently
beyond reproaeh."
The feeling in many quarters that
Germany must be helped does not
mean that bitterness against the
Germans has abated, Blumenfeld said
THAT feeling was almost wholly
the result of the Gotha raids on Lon
dom" said he. "Britons almost adj
mired the efficiency Of the German
soldiers early in the war They had
not then the bitterness of personal
feeling against the enemy that de-
veloped later. Then came the use
of pioson gas by the Germans andI
the feeling of hatred began. 1t was
by the appearance of the
Zeppelins over England, but it burst |
into full flame when the Gothas ap.
peared in fleets and began to show
er bombs upon the helpless poor oil
The terrible hatred which
those raids engendered will not be
forgotten for fifty years"
