THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
OF PRESIDENT
American People Told Of
Abundant Reasons for
Gratitude to God.

Washington, Nov. 13.-President
Wilson issued his Thanksgiving
proclamation last night, saying that
'in plenty, security and peace our
virtuous and self-reliant people
face the future" and setting aside
Thursday, Nov. Is, for the usual OBJ
servances.
'"The season approaches when it
behooyes us to turn from the dis
fractions and preoccupations of our
the mercies which have been vouch-
the9mercies which have ben vouch-
safed to. us, and render heartfelt
and unfeigned thanks unto God for
His manifold goodness.
This is an old observance of the
American people, deeply imbedded
in our thoughts and habit. The
burdens and the stresses Of lie
have their own insistence.
Cause for Thanks.
I'VE have abundant cause for
thanksgiving. The LESSONS OF the
war are rapidly healing. The great
army Of free men which America
sent, to the defense of liberty, re-
turning to the grateful embrace OF
the nation, has resumed the useful
pursuits Of peace and simply and as
promptly, as it rushed to arms in
obedience to the country's call. The
equal justice of our laws has re-
ceived steady vindicati0n in the sup
port Of a law-abiding people against
various and sinister attacks, which
have reflected only the baser agi-
tations of war, now happily pass
ing.
I'm plenty, security and peace
our virtuous and self-reliant peo-
pie face the future, its duties and
its opportunities. May We have
vision to discern our duties; the
strength, both of hand and resolve
to discharge them; and the sound
ness of heart to realize that the
truest opportunities are those OF
sevice.
Spirit Of Devotion.
"In a spirit, then,. of devotion
and stewardship we should give
thanks in our hearts. and dedicate
ourselves to the service of Gods
merciful and loving purposes of His
children.
Wherefore. I, Woodrow Wilson
president Of the United States Of
America, do hereby designate
Thursday, the 25th day of Novem.
Der next as a day Of Thanksgiving
and prayer, and l call upon m,
countrymen to cease from theil
ordinary tasks and vocations upo1
that day, giving it up to the re.
membrance Of God and His bless
ings, and their dutiful and gr.tefu
acknowledgment" -

AGAIN ASKS
WILSON TO
Leave POST
W. J. Bryan Tells Why
Resignation Would Pro-
mote Peace Of World.

New York, Nov. 13.-(United
Press.)-No enemy could wish
President Wilson anything worse
than that he should waste his re-
naming strength in q struggle with
a Republican senate, thus postpon.
ing promotion of world peace
through American cooperation, viii.
liam jennings Bryan declared in an
interview today. ~
Bryan, outlining the reasons why
he believes President Wilson should
resign and permit Senator Harding
to assume direction Of the nations
affairs at once. said:
'''The plan is SO easily understood
and supported by arguments SO un-
answerable that it only needs to be
stated to be convincing.
"The constitution provides a way
in which Senator Harding can be
called Immediately to the work en-.
trusted to him by an overwhelming
majority Of the people. That way
have pointed out. The president
can resign; that will make vicf
President Marshall president. Mr.
Marshall can appoint Senator Har.
ding secretary of state and resign
There being no vice president ,ir
case Marshall becomes president
the secretary Of state is next in lint
Of succession.
NOW. the reasons: Everyone
knows that the one matter in thu
presidents heart is world peace. H,
believes. and l think a large major.
ity of the American people agre,
with him, that our nation car
greatly aid in promotion Of peac,
by cooperating with the other ma
tions. The president thought tia
this cooperation should be on tn,
terms of the covenant as he pre-
scented it to the senate. But tn,
people have decreed otherwise ant
endorsed the Harding plan of Al
association Of nations.
THE president could hardly b.
expected to attempt to carry ou
the Harding idea and it is no
likely that the Republican senator
would permit him to do it il h
tried.
What Wilson Should Say.
Therefore, the only progres
that can be mAde towards such CO
operation is along the Harding plal
with Mr.. Harding himself carrying
1t out think the president wOul
call forth overwhelming approval
he said to Mr.. Harding:
/ am not willing to delay b
one day our nations entrance int
cooperation with other nations TO
promotida pf world peace. l an
not willing to assume the responsi
bility for a single life that may b
lost il We delay action or 70
changed conditions that may de
crease the value Of our aid if tina
is postponed. Therefore ! invit
you to assume at once the respou
sibilities to which you have bee
called"
Such an offer as above suggested
Bryan said, might well be madt
even il the president were well, i
view Of the tremendous importanc
of the issue submitted and the su
preme value Of immediate actor
but such an offer would seem to
the more wise because nothing br
q sense Of duty could lead the pres
dent to risk his health and even hi
life in q contest-n not only unneces
sary but futile, with a Republica
congress elected two years ago as
protest and endorsed this year i
its opposition.

A bitter controversy .has arisen
between the Navy and State De
pArtments over the 'indiscriminste
killing" of nativs in Haiti, il was
learned today. Full responsibility
for the sutocrstic rule BY American
marines in Haiti was placed direct
ly upon the State Department by
Secretary Daniels. In policing the
island Mr.. Daniels said, the marines
merely act as agents Of that de-
partinent.
FACTS ARE ADMITTED.
The State Department admitted this
to be the fact but maintained that II
cannot be held responsible for indi-
vidual acts Of oppression by the
marines.
Secretary Daniels also announced
that Brig. Gen. w. c. Neville will be

American banking concern. Colonel
