what's coming. And if there's pump

part, declares, that we, representing
fifteen million former service men
should be assembled at the very hour
when the distracted world most needs
a unifying word. The burden of our
duty to speak our deepest convictions
to governments and the public rests
heavily upon us. Surely the voice Of
the men who stood shoulder to

the allied armies, should be heard
equally with the utterances of pro-

BeIsium's Dense Population.

1t is customary to think of China as
the most densely populated country In
the world. 1t isn't. That distinction
belongs to Belgium. While China has
the largest population, 42S,OUv,e0o, it
has also the largest area of the worBtY 8
political divisions, 4,278000 square
miles, and the number of it's iahas-
itants to the square mile is only 1886.
Belgium has 666.22 inhabitants to
the square mile. Japan is much more
densely populated than China, 1893 30
the square mile, but her inhabitaass to
the square mile are not much mere
than half as many as Belgium's.

spade, called slane, the sods being
cut up and removed to dry land. A
few days later, when the sods have
become a little less soggy,. they are
spread carefully all over the ground
and left to dry. The next step is to
pile the turf into skillfully-made
heap, which allows the wind to pass
between the different pieces. Usually
peats are ready for use as fuel. Peat
is used in Ireland to such an extent
that few people in the country districts
ever burn coal.

because Of its newness as day of ma
tional observance. But Thanksgiving
is real old-fashioned. SO we know al
about the proper celebration of this ole
American holiday.
Popular opinion insists upon fixing
the first Thanksgiving day in 1921.
when the Pilgrims celebrated the gath
ering of their first harvest. They GER
tainly had large feast; it lasted five
days, and they and their Indian guests
ate at least five deer. The first Thanks
giving day observed in all the states
was on December 10, 1777; it was rec
commended by proclamation of the Con-
tinentai congress after the surrender
Of BurgOyne. For Ii years there
after congress recommended a day OF
thanksgiving and the several states
made appointment in accordance. Then
there was an interval in which the fix
ing of the date was left wholly to the
states. The first congress under the
federal Constitution adopted a reso-
luton asking President Washington to
recommend day for national thanks
giving and prayer, and the Presidents
proclamation named Thursday, Novem-
Der &c, Of that year. The anti-Fed-
eraiistS made such rumpus over 1t
that 1t was not repeated until 1895,
when President Washington, without
Recommendation by congress, set Feb
ruary 10 as day If thanksgiving.
Then Thanksgiving day apparently
went into the discard as a national
holiday. Anyway, until 1916 there
was no other national appointment.
In that year, by resolution of con-
gress and proclamation Of the Presi-
dent. April IA was set apart as day
OF national thanksgiving for the res
toration of peace.
That was the end of an official
national Thanksgiving day for nearly
half century. 1t was revived by
President Lincoln when he appointed a
special day of thanksgiving for the VIC
tory of Gettysburg, August 6, 1868.
In the meantime the American peo-
pie had been celebrating Thanksgiv-
MS NuS piCtlN all ONCT TIE
Union, without bothering about presi-
DENTAL and gubernatorial proclama-
lions. The American knows good
thing when he sees it. President Lin
coin, being of the people, took occa-
sion with his Gettysburg proclamation
to nationalize the November Thanks
giving day. So for 60 years or so
Thanksgiving eats have been attacked
and demolished as a patriotic duty.
Theoretically, of course, we should
be planning to attend church in the
morning 70 give thanks to Divine
Providence for the mercies and bless
ings of the year to us both as individ.
uals and as citizens of the greatest
and weaithiest and most fortunate ma
tion on earth. Individually, as COM
