Ever since President Lincoln in 1864 appointed by pro-
 clamation the fourth Thursday of November as day for thanksgiving Presidents of the United States and many governors Of States have followed the example of the original Thanksgiving established by the Pilgrim Fathers of the Plymouth Colony after their first harvest in the year 1621 There compulson about either proclaim ing or observing Thanksgiving Day, and in this fact 1t finds one of its strongest virtues.
 Many of us observe Thanksgiving because of wIaever favors or fortunes have best during the year Revers
 ing the order of time and events 1t is to be wondered what the original Pilgrim Fathers would be thankful for were they here to the changes that have taken place since the early part of the 17th Century.
 In science and invention they would marvel at the de- veopments In educational advancement they would have reason to be proud In efficiency of travel of labor of &C., counting of production they would be astounded In all material accomplishments for comfort convenience and beauty they would have to give thanks But what about the virtues?
 It is true that the Pilgrims (often erroneousy confus ed and made ainclsive with that type known as Pur tans adhered generally to extreme moral scupes often bordering onto bgOty yet inclined to believe that the ghosts of the Pilgrim Fathers looking down upon the vices and moral axtes of present-day civilization would utter excamaons of horror rather than lift their voices in words of thankful prayer.
 Until the world advances in integrity and personal vir tue in orderly government in peaceful pursuits of happ that flows from clear conscience rather than from physical exhiliration; until men meet grounds of trust because mbued with inherent righteous intent rather than fair results imposed by code statute there will be need for Thanksgiving not only for what have had but for what we believe become A day will be needed to call wayward minds to the solid virtues that spring from the hearts of those whose sacrifices rewarded mostly by the conviction of their faithful endeavors.
 Headong we speed at rates heretofore undreamed of production never before reazed at accommodations and uxures hardly appreciated because taken for granted and with frequent instances of prosperity among indvd uals too much to be made of and enjoyed It takes Thanksgiving Day to remind us of the real fundamentals of life without which all the rest is useless.

FIGHT FOR CANTON
MAY FLARE AGAIN
Death Toll of 5000 and Prop
erty Loss of 100000
Already Reported.

BY the Associated Press
PEKING, December 20-Out OF
the bloody turmoil of Canton's mad
week has emerged the salient fact
that South China. or the portion
calling itself Nationalist, has rup-
tured relations with the Soviet as
violently and completely as possible
without the actual declaration of
war.
Indeed, it appears that If armed
conflict were geographically possible
the two nations would be at each
others threats.
At least one recognized Soviet
official. Vice Consul Hassis, is def
nitely known TO have persisted be-
fore a Chinese firing squad at Canton
From the entire Yangtze valley and
to the south of it, all Russians Off

At Canton, this was accomplished
by revolving bloodshed. Soviet rep

barely 48 hours to leave after being
rounded up early last Friday morn
ing and marched. bound, through
the streets, some of them still in
their night clothes. Tomorrow has
| been set as the limit of departure
from Shanghai.
Thus death. suffering and indigni
ties have been visited upon the Rus
slams, who for the past 3 year!
were the accredited brains of the Ma
tionalist movement. Quitting thu
scenes of their former triumphs, they
have tasted the Chinese hatred, which
they are said to have been responsible
for turning against other foreigner
| throughout the Chinese revolution III
to now.
The absence of anti-foreign feeling
except against the Soviet, is note
worthy. During the events Of las
week not a single foreign casualty
EXCEPT Russians, was reported from
| the whole Nationalist area. Som

NAVY DEPARTMENT
HOPES ARE WANING
Officials Realize Chance for
Rescue Grows Smaller
as Time Passes.
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
Gloom spread over the Navy De
partment today as hope for the rescue
of the imprisoned men aboard the
sunken submarine S4 gradually
waned.
Grim old admiraIs, steeled to hard
ships and dangers, stalked sternly
from Office to office engaging in whis-
pered conversations with fellow Off
GERS. Their knowledge of the sea and
submarines gave them a full realiZa-
ton of the perilous plight of the Ell
tombed men, and they now believe
that nothing short of a miracle can
bring them out alive.
The only hope they hold for their
rescue is to supply oxygen and food
| through the torpedo tubes in the bow
that is buried in the mud. Before
this can be accomplished. divers must
blow away the mud with special APP
paratus and diving has been held up
by the weather conditions.
Victims Strength Ebbs.
Even should the mud be removed,
Navy men now doubt that the inn
prisoned men would have strength
enough to work the complicated ma
chinery that operates the tube doors,
which are controlled from the inside.
Their fears in this direction were in
creased by the faint taps that were
heard from the men early today. They
believe that Lieut.. G. N. Fitch, who
has been keeping up communication
by his knowledge of the Morse and In
ternational code, was almost over
come when he acknowledged receipt of
the message from his mother and wife
telling him that they were praying
for him.
1t required seven hours of constant
sending of the message through the
powerful electrical oscillating signal
! system and when Fitch finally re
ceived it, he replied only family.
Sounds of the oscillator, naval officers
said,t would be extremely loud in the
submarine and the men must have
been groggy and stupefied or they un-
loubtedly would have answered sooner.
REPORTS told of later but meaning
less hammering from the submarine
| indicating that Fitch had become toe
weak to signal and another of the six
men, ignorant of the code, took W
the task of knocking to notify the
rescue workers that life still existed
within the huh.
I'm until today Navy men had eX
pected at least one of the imprisoned
men to make a last desperate attempt
|
torpedo tube. Now they regard such
an attempt as unlikely, and the men
probably realize that such a method
would be suicidal in their weakened
condition and with the tube damned
in mud
IF the tube had been clear, Comdr
u. II. Hoover, experienced submarine
officer declared today that such ar
attempt would have had some chance
of success, although it would have
been fraught with extreme difficulty
In order to get through the tube. he
said, man would have to crawl ir
the tube with the inner doors clos
ing behind him. As the outer door
was opened, he would be compelled
to hold his breath while the tube fiilec

perate attempt to crawl II zee

of the water-filled tube.
