mi AMERICAN THANKSGIVING,

Tomorrow marks the celebration of a festival tnat
means much to the American people. For three nun
AIRED wears the people Of this land have sought out tWe
nIaces Of worship and returned acknowledgement I tne
Almighty for the blessings they had enjoyed tor the
wear closing with the harvest season. e,
Thanksgiving is distinctly an American institution 1,
means a day of worship, feasting, family reunion ana
happiness. At its best and in accordance with its uues'
traditions it is a picture of an American home, plan,
wholesome and inspiring. 1t means the coming OF sons
and daughters, grandchildren and relatives ana iriehus'
II means the worship Of God. 1t means the VIDE open
and hospitable frcside. 1t means a great feast OF roast
turkey and all the good things that can only be pre-
pared in the old American home. 1t means all that
can be crowded into a day Of the plain, honeas and uh,
aFected things of life that go with God-fearing ana
clean citizenship.
No one ever participated in an occasion OF true
Thanksgiving character but felt the better and was the
better for it.
1t will always remain the festival of the people, and
never lose its quality. Time may make notifications
in it's Observance; but there will remain the old flavor
and the historic Significance.
There will be throughout the land tomorrow much
thanksgiving and happiness, for with all the DARK
shadows in the world picture today, there is still mueh
for which to rejoice, just as there always has been IN
all Of the years that have gone before. And Just as
the Pilgrim Fathers found in the h~ardships, trials and
discouraeements in the old Plymouth colony when they
celebrated the rleagre harvest and thanked God Tor
such bounties as he had bestowed upon them.

WHY SHOULDN'T WE.

Gener. -asker II. Bliss. with soldierly directness,
assured our distinguished visitor, Marshal Foch, that
If France were again attacked we would all be found
contending upon the same old battefeids.
There will be those who asked who appointed
General Bliss the spokesman for the American peo-
pie and how does he know this?
General Bliss needs no appointment or authorize
ton to make such n statement. He knows the Amer
lean people and what they will do under similar cir
cumstances to those of 1917-1S. We all know and
all agree that il our time-honored friend is wanton-
ly asssiled no power could keep us from her side.
Had Gernany's foresight been equal to her hind
sight in 1914 she would likely have taken into consid-
Grafton the friendship of France and America and
acted with more sanity.
France should have the guarantee of safety she
asks from the Washington conference, and IL moth
ing more the American people themselves should
make it. Such an action would forever end all Ger
man ideas of future aggression.

THE RECORD, A TRIUMPH.

The industrial court Of Kansas has attracted atten-
ton the country over. 1t has justified its existence
and its only critics have been labor ~agitators, 1. W.
WIS and a few ultra-conservatives who believed the
institution too advanced. Out of thirty-three cases
that have come before it for adjudication where there
have been learned counsel on both sides t~hirty-one
cases have been accepted without appeal by both sides,
thereby sustaining the court in its ruling.
This establishes a record for any court; and in mat.
tiers where capital and labor are concerned it is an I'M.
heard of record. The fact that both sides abided by
the findings in such an array of cases is a triumph
and a vindication of the particular type of court.

Heligoland, though it no longer deserves headlines in

whose fathers rode the North sea-, winter and sum-

"In Morse mythology Heiigoland was the reputed

a temple in his honor on the rock island The old gods

once were his fame and then meditatively views the
gaps blasted in the mighty German Notifications, the

strengthened by the continuous de-
cline in the amount of funds re-
CURED for interreserve bank redis-
counting. The latter, is now down to
Il low level and the fair inference to
be drawn from the situation is that
there has been distinct, growth in
the ability of the several parts of the
country to provide for their own cur
rent necessities. Meanwhile exchange
despite the discouraging German sit

Market Review and Outlook.
The week has been a period of
larger trading but with good de-
mand for a number of the specialties
which have tended to work toward
higher levels. Investment support
from the outside public has been
somewhat lacking and while the I'M
dertone is still encouraging it can
hardly be expected that the general
public will show sufficient courage
to make purchases on liberal scale
until more progress has been made
in setting the wage question of the
railroads and in other directions.
Still the outlook is decidedly more
encouraging, and while the market
at times may display hating atti-
tude, due to profit taking sales. the
indications are for higher levels,
based in a great many instances on
merit. =N

is slight but important improve
ment in the trend-of business condi--
tions. Announcement that the
marine employees of the roads in
New York harbor have accepted a
wage cut tends to the belief that the
laboring classes see the necessity of
wage reduction If business is TO get
started again, especially now that the
cost of living is steadily growing
less. During the past week there
has continued to be a distinctly
better tendency in textiles than dur
ing the weeks Immediately preceding
while there has also been perceptible
advance in the demand for auto
mobiles, shoes and leather and other
manufactures in common use. There
has been a general prevalence of
favorable weather conditions in the
agricultural regions with good acre
age devoted to the various products
but with a wholesome disposition in
the cotton and other regions to re-
duce the excessive acreage which
was cultivated during the season of
1920. The carryover from last year
is shown by current figures to be
even larger in cotton and grain than
had been expected, and this will
tend to hold down agricultural prices
for months to come. Little aid is
expected by intelligent observers
from the proposal to put through
congress a tariff bill tantamount to
an embargo on staple farm products.
Unemployment although still extern
sive in many industries is yielding to
some extent in those lines where de-
mand is reyiving while retail de-
mand has on the whole maintained
itself Unexpectedly well.
Bank Rates and Reserves.
While there has been a definite
reduction in the charge for call money
during the week by about one-half of
per cent, the general conditions in
the market have continued not far
from the same as heretofore. The
reserve ratio of the Federal reserve
system rose slightly, reaching 81 per
cent as against 43.5 a year ago. This
is favorable development and is

Legacy of Donclian to
Missions Is Questioned
Court Asked to Decide Whether
More Than Half Of Estate
Can Be Beuueathetl

Mrs. Evalyn S. Donchian, of 81 East
Forty-ninth Street, and the Guaranty
Trust Company, executors Of the will of
John B. Donchian, rug dealer who
left an estate of about $500, 900. applied
to Surrogate Cohaian yesterday for a
construction of Mr.. Donchian's will.
Mrs. Donchian is the widow of the
testator.
Mr.. Donchian created a trust fund
with the residue of his estate, from
which he provided that his widow
should receive $4,000 year during her
life. AT the death of Mrs. Donchian
the will provides that the principal Of
the trust fund is to 60 to the American
BOARD of Commissioners of Foreign
Missions. This gift is to be known as
the John B. Donchian Foundation Fund
and used for educational, charitable
and religious purposes in three cities
in Asia Minor mentioned by the tes-
tator.
The executors express doubts as TO
the validity of this gift, as the law Of
New York State does not permit q tes-
tator who leaves widow to bequesth
more than one-half of his estate to
public institutions. Another point they
want Surrogate Cohalan to decide is
what is to become of the income from
the trust fund above the $4,000 a year
provided for the widow. Mr.. Donchian
made no provision for the use Of this
accumulated income.

Woman and Man Killed
When Band Storms Jail
Kentucky Prison Keepers
Family Fights Masked Men;
State TrOops Called


FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 10,--State
troops tc-day were ordered to Jackson,
KY. BY Governor Morrow to preserve
order after seven masked mon had
stormed the Breathitt County jail at
midnight in q fruitlcss attempt to lib
crate four men named Noble whom
they believed to have been prisoners
there.
In the ensuing battle between the
band and the jailer's family Albert
Roberts, twenty-one years old, nephew
of Jailer A. A. Allen, was shot in the
chest and died later.
Mrs. Oscar Allen, wife Of tho deputy
jailer, was wounded, and died to-day,
and Miss Maggie Allen, daughter Of
,Jailer Allen. probably was fatally
wounded.
Advices to the Governors Office say
the mon suddenly appeared at the iail
and demanded the keys. Deputy Jailer
Allen refused to deliver them. A vol
ley was fired at him, but he fell to the
moor ana escaped INJURY. Other men,
bers Of the family appeared at this
juncture and succeeding volleys
wounded the women.
The advices indicate that the band
fed without making further attempt
to enter the building. Meanwhile, how
ever, the Mobiles previously had been
removed from jackson to the Jail at
Winchester. KY, for safekeeping.
Bloodhounds were sent from Licking
ton to take the trail.
