LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PEACE AND THE COLORED AMERICAN BY THE REV. GEO. GILBERT WALKER, M. A., GALVESTON, TEXAS. VOL. XXV. PEACE AND COLORED BY THE REV. GEO. GILBERT TEX THE Colored American is looking forward with longing and supreme interest to the end of the war and the conclusion of peace. The end of the war will mean the ceasing of the horrors and bloodshed which have burdened and sickened the world. It will mean the putting down of the cause of it all, and the final routing of the menace to free institutions. The end of the war will mean the triumph of those principles of democracy and justice for which the allies are contending, and the actualization of which will mean the salvation of mankind. The Colored American has placed upon the altar of liberty his wealth, his labor and his life. The issues are world issues, issues of humanity; and therefore they are his issues. When the ruthless menace to justice and democracy shall have been rendered impotent forever, when the great war for human rights shall have ceased, when peace shall have come, the Colorado American believes that for him, as well as for all the world beside, will begin a new era of a renewal and an imperative emphasis of the things for which he so anxiously yearns, and for which he has contended so long and ceaselessly. The democratic imperatives of justice, liberty, opportunity, will find emphasis in the new alignment of relationship of the races in this country. We, in the new era, will discover actualization of positive and practical Americanism. What are some of the things which will come to pass in the new regime? They are not new things. They are not new ideas or principles. They are practical and positive applications of those things which history and experience and common sense have proved to be absolutely necessary to the happiness and progress of mankind. The constitutional rights and privileges of citizenship can no longer be withheld from citizens of this country. The new democracy makes that imperative. The right to share personally in the government of, by, and for the people, is a mandatory right of free institutions. For the principles of free political institutions the United States is laying down its all. The American nation is contending that the door of opportunity shall not be closed in the face of any of mankind. The chance to live, and to live well and in security, shall be accorded every American. Equal opportunity in the spheres of labor, commerce and general living—practical and positive opportunity—is as the foundation of national progress and well-being. A greater and more glorious spirit of sympathy and confidence is growing and shall continue to grow between the Colored and the white American. We are beginning to understand each other and to believe in each other as never before. We are beginning to have faith in each other's integrity and manhood, of the things which make men worth while, we are coming to see each of us has a fair share. In the realms of labor, commerce, education, on the battle fields, and in the things of sacrifice and humanity, we are realizing that the white American and the Colored American each participate successfully and adequately. We are learning team work in life. We are learning to respect each other, to trust each other, to co-operate in the things which make for national development, righteousness and power. We are bringing things from the clouds to the ground; we are taking them from the realm of theory and doctrine into the field of practice and utility. We are making them work. We are demanding and realizing a pragmatic democracy, a living, doing, experimental democracy. With the dawning of the new era comes an understanding, a new determination; an understanding of the grandeur and holiness of American ideals; a determination to make them true for all men, black and white alike.—The Monitor. ALABAMA CELEBRATES PEACE WITH LYNCHING. As Toll Sounded Armistice Singing Mob Stormed Jail for Help- Sheffield, Ala., Nov. 15.—When the world was wild with joy celebrating the return of democracy and the downfall of autocracy, a mob of prominent white citizens of this place, bent on having a "little fun" ransacked the county jail and secured George White-side, a prisoner, and hanged his body to a tree and riddled it with bullets. White-side, together with William Bird, was being held in the jail charged with the murder of John Graham, a white policeman, who was found dead near this city. It is thought that Graham was the victim of the bullet fired by some of his friends following a heated quarrel. Bird was also lynched. Men Not Guilty Bad feeling had been centered on Whiteside and Bird when it was learned that they refused to work for white farmers in this vicinity for low wages. Threats were made against the men, and they were told that unless they would aid in the harvest of crops their bodies would be riddled with bullets. The men expressed their desire to leave the city and it was then that they were charged with the killing of Graham. Grahams' reputation as an officer was not of the best standing, and because of his violent means in handling prisoners he was known among police circles as "Cavenue Pepper." Crowds Get Souvenirs. The lynching of the two men cast a gloom over the city and none of our people took an active part in the celebration of peace. Attempts were made to strip Whiteside of his clothing and stuff them with weeds and hay and drag the effigy to the city square and burn it. Women and children coming to the city in wagons and automobiles DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1918 viewed the body of whiteside hanging to a tree near the roadside. In many instances souvenirs such as fingers and teeth were secured by persons who journeyed to the scene of the hanging. Although the parties who lynched Whiteside and Bird are known to police officials, nothing has been done in the way of apprehending them. A coroner's jury in rendering a verdict on the death of the men declared that Whiteside and Bird came to their death at the hand of parties unknown to the jury. Ignore President's Appeal. Since President Wilson issued his proclamation against lynching the South has disobeyed his wishes by hanging over ten men, and putting scores of others to death by atracious means. The President's appeal for law and order has prompted the organization of several vigilance committees in southern communities which stand ready to combat the evil of lynching by measuring arms with the violent mob ruling element. In some communities families have been driven from their homes because they refused to harvest crops without wage until the duration of the war. Local police authorities in the vicinity of lynchings have offered no protection to our people and the disregard for the law has been supreme among the whites. MISSOURI, WEST VIRGINIA, OHIO ILLINOIS AND NEW YORK To Have Negro Assemblymen at Their Next Session. The election of Colored men to the Legislature in Missouri, West Virginia, New York, Illinois and Ohio is generally regarded as a distinct advance in public sentiment on the question of the Negro holding representative elective positions. Of the nine race men chosen at the polls November 5, it is doubtful if there was one who could have been victorious without the aid of white voters. Missouri furnished the biggest surprise, the Republicans of the Fourth district sending William M. Riley, an optometrist, to the Lower House of the Legislature over his white opponent. This is the first time in the history of the state that a Negro has been selected to the Legislature. West Virginia did itself proud by choosing three Colored men for the Lower House—J. V. Coleman, H. J. Capechart and T. G. Nutter. This is said to rival the record of any state since the days of Reconstruction. J. V. Coleman of Fayette county was formerly postmaster at Kimberly. He is engaged in the production of coal. H. J. Capechart of McDowell county is an attorney at law, as is T. G. Nutter of Kanawha, who is Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of West Virginia. Both Fayette and McDowell counties have had colored legislators before, but at no time has there been more than one Colored representative in the Legislature. The nomination and election of the three Colored men is considered remarkable in view of the fact that in none of the counties which they represent is there a majority of colored voters. In McDowell county the per cent is thirty-four, in Fayette county, twenty-two, and in Kanawha, ten. It was at first thought that two Colored men would sit in the New York Legislature from the Harlem district, but complete returns indicate that E. A. Johnson was defeated by his Democratic opponent, John J. Healy, in the Nineteenth Assembly district. However, John Clifford Hawkins came out winner in the Twenty-first Assembly district. Mr. Hawkins is a lawyer, and formerly was a clerk in the postoffice. He has been practicing law for about three years. E. A. Johnson was the first Negro to be sent to the Assembly, serving his constituents for one term—the last session of the Legislature. Hilinois; the same as West Virginia, elected three Colored men to the State Legislature. They are S. B. Turner of the First district and Adelbert Roberts and Warren Douglas of the Third district. This is the first time that the race will be represented in the Illinois State Legislature by three Negroes. All are from Chicago. A. Lee Beatty, a lawyer, was swept into office Tuesday week as a member of the Ohio Legislature from Cincinnati by a large plurality. New York Age. LYNCH AT WILL IN STATE OF ALABAMA. Sheffield, Ala.—Since the ending of the great world war the state of Alabama has been doing its utmost to out-Hun the Hun for barbarity. Two Negroes have been lynched here within two days on frivolous charges. On November 10, William Bird was taken from the Sheffield jail by a mob of one hundred white "Americans," and hanged. Bird was captured after a running fight and he was put to death for trying to protect himself from a band of inturated savages. George Whiteside was taken from the same jail on November 12, and hanged to a tree where it was thought he murdered George Bird, a policeman. So far there has been no conclusive evidence that Whiteside committed the murder. PERSHING EXONERATES ACTING CAPT. JAMES WARING, JR. New York, Nov. 15.—A news report has reached the Defender from France that Lieut. James H. N. Waring was arrested and court-martialled on a charge of disobedience of orders and insubordination under the following circumstances: Lieut. Waring, while acting as captain of his company, was ordered by a white captain from another company to detail men of Waring's company to gather up tools and other equipment left scattered about by the men of which the white captain had command. Acting Captain Waring refused to accept or obey the order, not willing to make laborers of his soldiers. He was arrested, court-martialled and found guilty of disobedience of orders and insubordination. The findings of the court-martial were approved by Waring's regimental commander, by his brigadier general and finally were forwarded to General Pershing, who disapproved, reversed them and reinstated Acting Captain Waring to the command of his company. Acting Captain Waring is the grandson of the late Wm. Waring of Washington, D. C., the son of Dr. J. H. Waring of Washington, D. C., and the nephew of Robert Lewis Waring of New York City.

Ruffin (white), a member of the London Chamber of Commerce, to volunteer as missionaries for the Christianization of the Hottentots and Herreros and other black tribes in former Gerl man colonies in southwest Africa. Mr. Ruffin intimated the British government stood ready to finance educated Americans who would go to Africa. Bishop J. W. Anderson of Cincinnati, who introduced Mr. Ruffin, referred to the $80,000,000 fund which the Methodists plan to raise by June 1. Part of this money is to be devoted to missions in Africa. Among others who spake was Bishop J. C. Hartwell of Ohio. NEGRO LABOR IN THE UNITED STATES. Official Tells of What Members of Race Are Doing in War Work and of Measures to Insure Their Efficiency New York.—What Negro labor has been doing in the war, and some of the measures taken to insure his efficiency and morale, were described by Dr. George E. Haynes, special assistant to the secretary of labor, in a recent speech here. Dr. Haynes, after praising the patriotism displayed by Negro labor, said there were three facts which had been kept in mind in the efforts to increase the morale and efficiency of that labor. "First," he enumerated, "that the Negro wage-earners are ready for the arduous work on the farm and in the factory, and when given a fair chance and sympathetic guidance in making the labor program they will respond enthusiastically. Second, practically all employers of Negro labor are white men. Out of this fact deserve racial misunderstanding, prejudice, antagonism, fears and suspicions. This is the third fact of the situation. "To meet these conditions, the Department of Labor has held a number of state conferences with representatives of Negro wage earners, of white NO. 5. employers, and wherever possible, of white workmen. At these conferences the problems of better adjustment have been discussed, and plans of cooperative effort of white and Negro citizens for 100 per cent labor efficiency in war production have been made. As a result, during the last five months Negro workers' advisory committees, both state-wide, by counties, and in towns and cities, have been formed, or are being formed, in six southern states and five northern states. "Competent Negro men who have had experience with Negro wage earners have been appointed as supervisors in nine states to direct the work of these committees, and to increase the morale and efficiency of Negro wage earners. These committees have already done constructive work in many localities. Large numbers of letters of approval of this work have been received from Negroes and from employers."—The Christian Science Monitor. SECRETARY BAKER TALKS OF COLORED SOLDIERS IN SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE—With a gasoline can as a rostrum, Secretary of War Baker, in the course of his inspection tour over here, addressed an audience of more than 2,000 colored stevedore troops during their lunch hour. The speech, as well as the entire stage setting, was highly informal. Part of the Secretary's audience lay sprawled upon the roof of a half-finished warehouse overlooking the local gasoline can, and nearly all of them went on munching the contents of their mess kits, as it was intended they should do. The Secretary told the men how proud the people—all the people, home were of them, and especially how proud their own race was of them. He told them a couple of short, comical stories that quickly surrounded him with an amphitheater of white teeth all set in a broad smile. When he wound up by telling them that when he got back to America he was going to tell their people how well they had been doing, and the big shove they were giving to the army supplies which made it possible for the men at the front to win battles, he got such a "hand" as only strong and honestly-calloused palms can give a speaker. Both before and after his talk to them, Secretary Baker mingled among the men, asking them questions right and left, and thus getting much first-hand information from these colored stevedores. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Secretary's trip among the colored men over here was at Blois. Here there is a battalion of Class-B and C men, all of whom had been wounded in action, and many of whom proudly wore the Croix de Guerre or the D. S. C. They were lined up for inspection, together with their splendid band, also composed of B and C men. The Secretary would not consent to their being introduced to him, but, as he put it: "It is an honor to be introduced to you." From the middle of the boxing ring and bandstand combined, which is the pride of the Blois camp, Mr. Baker told them how much their efforts had been appreciated by the nation; how greatly the nation was indebted to them, and they all of them—would be marked men in their communities throughout their entire lives for the service they had rendered their country in time of urgent need. "In after years," he said, "men will come home to their families and tell with pride, and with a glow upon their faces, how they had met and fought with valiant fighting Colored men at Belleau Wood, at Chateau Thierry, at Soissons, on the Vesle and at Champagne." Concluding, Secretary Baker said to these Colored troopers: "The history of America is in your hands, for you have enlarged it and helped to make it what it is today—a thing to fill every American with pride."

If our conduct, therefore, were under the control of kindness, it would be nearly the opposite of what it is, and so the state of the world would be almost reversed. We are for the most part unhappy because the world is an unkind world. But the world is only unkind for the lack of kindness in the individuals who compose it.—Frederick William Faber. Undesirable Impression. "Some men," said Uncle Eben, "talks so much 'bout how honest dey is dat dey sounds like dey was inwardly wrestlin' wif a terrible temptation." A good conversationalist is not one who talks for effect. It is generally easy to pick out the man who is talking in order to make an impression, who says not so much what he thinks, as what he imagines his listeners will consider clever. Absolutely pure copper may have a light gray color like that of most other metals, since it is found that copper which has been ten times distilled in vacuo has only a pale rose color, while the yellow color of gold becomes much lighter under similar treatment.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION TO CONTINUE TILL PEACE IS SIGNED FOOD PLANS UPSET BY PEACE PACTS FOOD OBLIGATIONS MUST KEPT—NEED GREAT—MEA- LESS DAYS PHOPHESIED. "It is believed at Washington that at least six months will elapse before the peace treaty is signed. During this time the Food Administration will use its fullest influence to check any tendency on the part of the people to relax their food saving," stated Robert J. Grant, executive manager of the Food Administration for Colorado. "Food must be saved in greater quantity and variety than ever before. Peace has not lightened but added to our obligations. It is estimated that since the armistice 180,000,000 additional people are now partially dependent upon the United States for food. "Europe is nearly bare of meat and fats. In these foods our greatest saving and exporting must be made. I expect to see meatless days in the United States again this winter. We have barely enough meat and fats for our own use, yet we must ship a minimum of 2,600,000 tons abroad. Some such stringent regulation will probably be necessary." HOLD YOUR HORSES. "LET." TILL LATER! Lester Hice, of Bliss, Idaho, has a solution for the beef-shortage which is threatening America and the world. The Colorado Food Administration received the following letter from the patriotic and commercially astute Mr. Hice: "I am writing trying to find a market for horse meat F. O. B. Ragerson, Idaho. I can furnish 20 or 30 cars of dressed meat of good healthy range horses. Please give me the best price possible." WHEAT BREAD AND PLENTY SUGAR NOW ON COLORADO TABLES Temporary peace has added two luxuries to the American table. The United States Food Administration for Colorado announced last week that pure wheat bread may now be served on all tables. The sale and use of substitutes is no longer necessary, it is stated, because of the releasing of large stores of flour in the Southern Hemisphere which were formerly tied up by the war and war demands on shipping. In sugar-producing states, such as Colorado with its beet, and Louisiana with its cane sugar, the Food Administration has increased the household allowance of sugar to four pounds per person per month. Restaurants however, though permitted to serve wheat bread, are still limited as to quantity served and are permitted to serve only an extra teaspoonful of sugar. The need for keeping strictly within in the sugar allowance and for wasting not a crumb of the welcomed wheat bread is reiterated by the food board. 1919 WHAT PRICE The Food Administration Grain Corporation's guarantee of $2.18 per bushel F. O. B. primary markets for the 1919 Coorado wheat crop stands. This is the assurance of the Food Administration for Colorado. In spite of the fact that the end of the war has released great stores of wheat upon the markets of the world; that wheat is now selling in Australia at 95 cents a bushel; that only $1.03 is guaranteed for the 1919-1920 crop of Australian wheat; and that there is a prospect of even as low as 70-cent wheat in Europe after the Argentine harvest this month, the government will maintain the price promised American farmers for their wheat. According to George S. Clayton, chairman of the milling division of the Food Administration for Colorado, it is probable that a sliding tariff on wheat will be arranged to protect American wheat growers. FOOD ADMINISTRATION TO KEEP PRICES DOWN TO LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVEL In a recent interview Herbert Hoover assured the American people that the Food Administration, as long as its power continues, will maintain its Fair Price committees, continue to exercise wherever possible just control of prices, and will endeavor to the fullest extent of its powers to keep prices down. WHEAT PLENTIFUL — MAY NOW BE FED ANIMALS — BUT WORLDDS LARDER OTHER-WISE SHORT. With ocean lanes to all markets of the world open again, the food situation has been overturned and entirely new conditions set up. As a consequence the issuing of the 1919 Home Card announced by the Food Administration has been abandoned, a new inventory of the world's food supplies is now being taken, and Herbert Hoover plans to announce to America very shortly an entirely new and amazing food program. Indications are that, with plenty of wheat now available from India, Australia, Baltic ports, and the Argentine, no further wheat saving will be asked, but that on every other food product—particularly fats and sugar—the lid will tighten firmer than ever. Wheat may now be fed to animals without the customary permit from the Food Administration, the rules formerly forbidding the sale of wheat as feed having been repealed, according to word received by the Colorado food board. When definite reports from the conquered peoples come in on the condition of their food supplies and the needs of their respective countries, America will find that she must supply not only the anticipated 17,550,000 tons—and MORE—of food stuffs, but must share her dairy herds, swine, beef cattle and poultry to restock European farms, is the belief of the Food Administration. Holland, for example, has already put in an order for 50,000 head of dairy cattle. ALL-COLORADO MENUS ON THANKSGIVING DAY Colorado restauranteurs are planning a unique Thanksgiving. The feature will be an ALL-HOME-GROWN DINNER complete from mushroom soup and Colorado turkey with home-raised trimmin's to Pride O'The West pumpkin pie. In Colorado restaurants on that day oysters will be eliminated as a foreign product, sweet potatoes will be replaced by Colorado "spuds" and by baked carrots—ever try 'em? delicious!—and baked squash. PINTO PRODUCERS PROSPER Recently the U. S. Food Administration Grain Corporation had the placing of an order for ten million pounds of beans for a European nation. Plain Mr. Pinto Bean of Colorado won this big order to be delivered in New York City December 15th. The price which will be paid is 7 cents net at Colorado shipping points, $700,000 being gained for the pinto bean industry in Colorado from this one order. To clear up misunderstanding as to why pinto beans bring 7 instead of 10 cents this year, the United States Food Administration for Colorado states that last year the government bought the crop outright at a forced price to encourage the young industry—an emergency measure only. This year, pintos must compete in price with Japanese grown beans, offered handpicked and in perfect condition at $5 per hundred, delivered at Coast points. California pinks bring only 5% cents a pound. With the exception of Michigan navies, pinto beans lead the field in price paid. MEAT AND FAT FAMINE A POSSIBILITY! The meat situation threatens to become serious, according to the Colorado Food Administration. Outside of the military zone in France there is practically no meat in that country; what there is, is out of the reach of the poor people in price. In England, the British food controller has found it necessary to reduce the meat ration from one pound to three-quarters of a pound per capita weekly. There has also been a general rise in price to the consumer of 4 cents a pound in all meats. In America Herbert Hoover has promised that out of the none too plentiful meat supply of this country 2,600,000 tons of meat and fats will be shipped to Europe during this current year to relieve the situation over there. The Food Administration therefore crees the most intense and concentrated saving of meat and of fats. Coming high prices on these commodities will enforce some saving in them, but for the most part the patriotism of the American people will again be depended upon to fill this 2,600,000-ton meat and fat order. CAN "CRANS" With three pounds of sugar now available per person per month for household consumption, the ban has been lifted off the succulent, healthful and cheap cranberry. Plenty of sugar now right in your regular household allowance to take advantage of this fruit while it is on the market. SUGAR PORTION INCREASED That portion of the Colorado public which "eats around" may now rejoice over a whole half ounce of sugar per restaurant patron per meal. Moreover, the Food Administration's latest sugar ruling, as applied to public eating places, leaves it to the taste of each individual patron how this half ounce is to be used. It may be used entirely in the coffee, or divided between grapefruit, cereal and coffee. That half ounce is now restrictionless excepting that it may not be served if no food is served on which sugar is needed.

Government Urges Shippers, Farmers, Merchants to Release Labor ‘QUESTION ONE OF RECONSTRUCTION AS WELL AS WAR; MEANS MORE GOOD ROADS. Fifty per cent of the products raised 6u the farms in the United States never reach the market because of lack of transportation facilities. The whole world is hungry, will be so for years to come, and yet thousands of tons of fruits and vegetables rot on the ground every year because means are not at hand to get supplies to the consumer. ‘These statements are not the uncrit- feal utterances of a carcless observer. They, come direct from Herbert C. Hoover, United States Food Adminis trator and the greetest authority on food conditions today. Upon the American farmer rests the task of feeding not ulone Amesica but out army and navy and to a large ex- tent our allies and neutral nations, Byery channel by which he may move his products should be opened to him und every possible aid extended ‘The railroads alone are unequal to the task and every increasing por: tion of their tonnage must be devoted to transportation of, war supplies Domestic trade must take second place and if the war were to stop tomorrow the railroads would still be taxed to thelr utmost limit and would be un: able to handle all of the transporte tion alone. ‘This handicap would be serious enough for the farmer were it all But it is not. The farmer is the only producer who carries his own wares to market today, To do it he must neglect his farm when he is most needed there, Under ordinary coridi tions this method is wrong. Today with the world aflame, with labor acutely needed everywhere, such methods work an injustice to him, a crime against humanity. So important is this subject that it has been made the object of a special Investigation at Washington. The re sult has been the creation of the Highways Transport Committee of the Council of National Defense with or ganizations in every state of which the Highways Transport Committee of the State Council of Defense is one ‘This body has now worked out a prac tical solution of the transportation problem which should draw the imme diate und serious consideration of ev: ery shipper in Colorado, no matte! how small his output. In brief it involves a transference ot transportation from the slowly moving horse-drawn vehicle to the ef ficient, cheap, fast moving, high ton- ‘nage capacity motor truck. Here are | the reasons for this transference: . One motor truck can do the work of three horse teams in the same time in a day and can keep it up for twenty: four hours out of a day if necessary. One motor truck operating between several towns can carry all of thelr products and release all of tne teams so employed, and consequently release ‘the farmer who would otherwise be “spending time on the road when he is most needed on the farm. The truck provides a direct door to door delly- ery, eliminating cartage and terminal costs, supplies the consumer with fresh products and relieves congestion at rai! points, thus enabling Uncle Sam to devote tis energies to tha long distance haui. ‘The truck cuts down the number of /horses kept by the farmer, reduces the heavy cost of winter feeding and finally by reducing forage raised, re- leases labor for work on acreage de- voted to supplying human wants. It will be said that the roads are not heavy enough for the trucks. ‘They are not now but it has been shown that money expended on roads is an investment that pays many times the principal in reduced transportation costs. Good roads will follow the motor truck everywhere, opening up communication and lowering the high cost of living for the ultimate con- sumer. If motor truck transportation _re- leases but a hundred men for war work in Colorado, it would be doing a great war service, but it will release more men, will handle a greater In- creased tonnage, will lower cost for | shipper, merchant and farmer alike if |the men who do transportation work |in Colorado will get in to the move- ment and will ask that their goods be shipped in this manner. ‘The nation is calling for every pos- sible time and labor saving device. | Here is one at hand.

DAY'S NEW MEANING DAY'S NEW MEANING This Year National Rejoicing Is Alloyed With Thought of Glad Sacrifice. To a very great number of us, especially the fathers and mothers and wives of the United States, Thursday will be one of the most realistic Thanksgiving we have ever spent. At last, after many years in which this national holiday was nothing more than that—merely, in fact, an occasion for feasting and gathering and pleasure-seeking—this distinctly American day is to mean something very real and intimate to us all. Just what message and benefit it brings to us will depend largely, if not wholly, upon ourselves. And the character of our appreciation of the blessings that have come to us will measure the depth of our patriotism and love of country. We are not of those who believe the whole sacrifice belongs to the man who has gone away to fight. As much—In some cases even more—bravery and courage and devotion to duty and to country have been necessary on the part of those who remained behind. And we are certain that those who stop at home will, on this coming Thanksgiving, realize more completely than they have heretofore that the call Fate has made upon American manhood and womanhood is indeed an opportunity for service, not merely a disagreeable duty to be shirked if possible. For only if the men in the ranks, and equally the men and women at home who support and encourage them, enter this war in such a spirit of glad, eager sacrifice will it ever bring us more than disappointment and regret and terrible loss. So let Thursday be a day of gladness, not of sorrow. Let your tears, if tears there be as you sit beside the empty chairs, be evidences that your heart rejoices in the realization that your son or husband or brother or friend was brave enough and willing enough, yes, eager enough, to risk all that selfish men hold dear and desirable that his country might win honor and security through his blood.

WORTHY OF GREAT DAY WORTHY OF GREAT DAY Thanksgiving Feasts in Arizona and Kentucky Described by Prominent Sons. MARCUS AURELIUS SMITH, the entertaining Arizona statesman, was once questioned concerning Thanksgiving festivals in that far-off territory. He said that they were different from most Thanksgivings in the East. As the country was new, there were very few grandchildren to grace Thanksgiving dinners. The piece de resistance at the table was usually a gigantic wild turkey. It was always cooked on the old Kentucky or Virginia plan. The side dishes included venison and bear meat, if anybody wanted it. A delicious dish was bear paws a la Mexicaine. Tenderfeet did not regard them with favor, because when brought upon the table they looked like the feet of a negro roasted and basted. Nothing, howexer, was more delicious. Served with cactus or prickly pear sauce they furnished a dish fit for the gods. Then the baked sweet potatoes upon the table were extremely savory. The sweet potatoes in Arizona, if Mark Smith is to be believed, are sweeter and more exquisite than those grown in any other part of the universe. He says taste as though they had been raised by some Kentucky gentleman in the Garden of Eden. There are frequent innovations in family Thanksgiving dinners in Arizona. Being broad and liberal in everything, they do not allow their tastes to be hampered by conventionalities. In some places where they cannot get champagne, they are reduced to the necessity of drinking whisky. In localities along the border mescal is a substitute for whisky. A few drinks of mescal make a man feel as though he had six heads, twelve feet, and twenty-four hands. Of all the people on the globe the Arizonaians are the most hospitable. It would well repay a stranger to visit the state on Thanksgiving day. He could have a dinner without price or money every hour in the day, with venison, antelope steaks, bear meat, champagne, whisky, and mescal thrown in. When Asher Caruth of Kentucky heard the talk about Thanksgiving a roseate flush overspread his face. There was the joy of anticipation in his eye and his tongue began to drip with eloquence. Of all the dinners in the South, he said, a Kentucky Thanksgiving feast was the best. It might not be as great as in New England, but the Kentucky dinner was the apiculated acme of bliss. The air was always cool and bracing. The fire seemed to burn brighter than in any other state. The barnyard was more musical, and the baying of the hounds made a refrain that thrilled the heart with pleasure. The music of the banjo was heard and there were juba dances and African melodies that soothed the soul. Each family had its gathering; all enjoyed themselves intensely. There was a good dinner; turkey, of course, with cranberries and all the jellies and gravies that Aunt Dinah could prepare. Children and grandchildren met at the homes of parents and grandparents, and recalled the incidents of the past year. It was what old Aunt Chloe would call a "rule clarin' up time in family matters." The new babies were chucked under the chin, and all the merits of the spring colts were canvassed. Troubles with servants were detailed. Family matters generally came under discussion, and predictions were made as to winners at Lexington, Latonia, and other famous race courses in the coming spring meeting. Hail Turkey! THE eagle is the nation's bird, it sails across the sky On lofty wings, serene and proud and free; But when November skies are blue, and when Thanksgiving's nigh, Monster Flocks of Turkeys. Writers assure us that wild turkeys were once so abundant in the wild country back of Virginia and in the South generally that flocks of more than 5,000 were not uncommon. 1620 Over Seas for Freedom. LET us be glad together that the passionate love of freedom that made the Pilgrim Fathers set sail in fragile ships to brave the unknown terrors of the inhospitable New England coast is driving us back over the seas in dreadnaughts to face the known horrors of modern warfare. When that spirit dies there can be no more thanksgiving in America. As long as this spirit lives it is always Thanksgiving day, whatever happens, or whatever we may have or may not have for dinner. Let us give thanks that years of prosperity and fatness, years of peace and security, have not served to make us entirely forget that unless we love freedom more than life, we are already as one dead; unless we know the difference between real peace and selfish security, we are already a conquered people. Let us give thanks for our strength, our wealth and our opportunities garnered under the protection of even a dawning democracy, and for the chance to pour them out without stint for the spread of democracy to every corner of our world. ANNE LEWIS PIERCE. 1918 CUSTOM AN OLD ONE CUSTOM AN OLD ONE Pages of History Filled With Record of Days Set Aside for Giving Thanks. THE idea is prevalent throughout the United States that our Thanksgiving day is peculiarly Thanksgiving day is peculiarly an American custom of New England origin. This is true in part only. The general observance through many years of a set day on which to give thanks to Almighty God for his blessings has made the custom distinctively American; but its origin long antedates the settlement of this western continent and we must look elsewhere for it. In old Egypt, when the harvest had been gathered, it was the custom to observe a day of feasting and to lay offerings upon the altars of Isis, the goddess of agriculture. The Jewish festival was the "Ingathering," or the "Feast of the Tabernacle," mentioned in Exodus and other parts of the Old Testament. This was more particularly a thanksgiving for the fruit harvest, but as it came at the close of the entire harvest it probably was intended also as a general thanksgiving "for the bounty of nature." The goddess of the Roman harvest was Ceres. Her festival was celebrated annually and was called Ceralia. It was a day of worship and rustic sports, Men and women formed processions and went to the fields with music. In one way or another, a Thanksgiving day had been observed in Christian Europe for centuries before its celebration in New England. The early Christians kept such days as the bishops named them within their jurisdiction. On the continent, and for a time in England, it occurred at Martinmas, which was a day of feasting and drinking. Occasionally, too, clicv authorities recommended the observance of some fixed day. Real Day of Thanksgiving. There is a difference between being thankful and having a good time. One can enjoy an elaborate dinner and the meeting of friends without any uplift of the heart to the Giver of all good. Make Thanksgiving more than a jolly day, a day of festivity and good cheer and friendly companionship. Put aside a portion of it for real Thanksgiving to him to whom your thanks are due. The KITCHEN CABINET Your part in the war is to produce as much as possible, consume as little as necessary, and loan your savings to the government. Are you facing your task as cheerfully as our fighting men face theirs? Are we worth the sacrifice they are making for us? GOOD AND ECONOMICAL DISHES. National War Garden 'Commission' PAGHETTI or ravoll paste may be prepared at home, making an economical and tasty dish at small cost. Prepare the paste by mixing together two-thirds of a cupful each of wheat flour, rye and barley, and add two un- beaten eggs and one-fourth of a cupful of cold water, or sufficient to make a very stiff paste. Turn out on a floured board and knead thoroughly, until even in color, then if used for spaghetti or noodles, cut in strips and let them dry for a while. The paste may be cut in squares and filled with a mixture of chopped cooked spinach, chard and parboiled calf's brains. Cover each square with another piece of the paste, pinch the edges together and drop them into boiling salted water, cook 15 minutes and serve with a tomato sauce. Rice Pudding—Wash one and a third cupfuls of rice and cook until tender in boiling salted water. Drain and add three tablespoonfuls of sugar and four tablespoonfuls of corn sirup. Butter a pudding dish and put in a layer of rice. Peel three apples and spread a layer of sliced apples over the rice. Alternate the rice and apples until all are used. Bake in a moderate oven until the apples are tender. Oatmeal-Graham Bread.—Take four cupfuls of ground oatmeal or oat flour, four cupfuls of wheat flour, three cupfuls of liquid, one yeast cake, two cupfuls of mashed potatoes, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of salt, and two tablespoonfuls of shortening. Mix and prepare as usual. Onion en Casserole.—Peel and cook a half-dozen medium-sized onions in boiling salted water until tender. Then place in a well-greased casserole. Cover with a white sauce, using a fourth of a cupful of chicken fat, and the same amount of flour cooked together; add two cupfuls of milk, salt and pepper to season, add a beaten egg and pour over the onions; let cook well covered until the egg is set. Serve from the casserole. A really good memory is one that remembers good rather than evil, kind- ness instead of injuries. A good memory is stored with useful things. It recalls life's pleasures rather than its hardships, and so is a storehouse of treasures. HELPFUL HINTS AND DISHES. HE secret of a good stuffing or forcemeat is one not solved by all cooks. Here is one used by an old cook which will appeal to many who object to the soggy indigestible stuffing, so frequently served: T National New Garden Commission Break stale bread in small pieces and cover with cold water; never use hot water unless you like it soggy and heavy. Drain and squeeze the water out with your hands. If it still seems wet, add dry crumbs to absorb the extra moisture. Now season well with salt, pepper, finely minced parsley and sweet marjoram; the kind and amount of seasoning depends upon your own taste. For a quart of stuffing take three good-sized onions, chop fine and fry in butter until they are cooked through; butter means any sweet fat, though of course the butter gives a most delicious flavor. Turn the onions when a light yellow into the bread and mix all together. Then add a little more fat to the frying pan and turn in the stuffing; when it begins to brown, stir often; cook a half-hour if care is taken not to overbrown it, then put it ploping into the fowl or meat of any kind; the flavor goes into the meat and the result is a better-flavored breast of veal or turkey. If one has a small amount of meat left, chop it and use this same stuffing in alternate layers with it with plenty of gravy, making a most economical and good-flavored dish. Graham Wafers.—These are so much better for the children to eat than rich cookies and so much cheaper made at home that they are worth trying. Take one quart of good graham flour, one-tablespoonful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of sweet fat, and a good cupful of milk. Mix and sift as usual, knead well and roll out one-fourth inch in thickness. Cut into small oblongs and bake in a hot oven, watching carefully as they will burn readily around the edges. Economical Cake.—Cream two tablespoonfuls of butter, add a cupful of sugar, one and three-fourths cupfuls of pastry flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, the yolk of an egg unbeaten. Dissolve one and one-half squares of chocolate in the milk over hot water. Sift the flour and baking powder together; if a butter substitute is used, be sure to add salt. Mix and bake as a layer of loaf cake. The egg white may be used for frosting, if desired. Nellie Maxwell The Housewife and the War THE CAFE Hundreds of Quarts of Jellies and Preserves for the Wounded Put Up in This Kitchen. SURPLUS FRUITS AND VEGETABLES Much Canning Done by Volunteer Women Workers of the Department of Agriculture. CREDIT GIVEN MRS. HOUSTON Wife of Secretary Planned That Products Be Utilized in New and Patriotic Manner—Donated to Walter Reed Hospital. Twenty-two hundred and fifty quarts of canned vegetables, preserves and jellies to tempt the appetites of our wounded boys in the Walter Reed hospital in Washington, as well as hundreds of bushels of fresh fruit and vegetables, is the result of a summer of unceasing activity by women of the department of agriculture interested in this work. At the Arlington farm, where is carried on governmental experimentation with fruits and vegetables, there has been necessarily much waste product in previous years. In order that accurate observations during their entire season might be made by the plant specialists a large share of the fruits and vegetables grown there had to be allowed to come to full maturity on the plants. Thus to a large extent the farm's products were too ripe to be marketed when their value to the scientist was at an end. How Project Started. To Mrs. David F. Houston, wife of the secretary of agriculture, is due the credit for these products being utilized in a new and patriotic way this year. The Walter Reed hospital, filled with our wounded from overseas, was to be, if it could be managed, the recipient of all the surplus fruit and vegetables of the Arlington farm. Mrs. Houston planned that all of the products which were in prime condition and which could be used at once by the commissary department of the hospital should be sent there directly. The surplus was to be made by volunteers into home dainties for the boys. When it is realized that the lieutenant in charge of the commissary must provide food for each soldier, wounded or sick, at a maximum cost of 50 cents a day, the exceeding value of these preserves and jellies to the diet of the invalids there may be better, appreciated. Perhaps no other one thing which has been done for the hospital has been so much appreciated by the boys themselves as this food, which, as they said, "tasted like home and mother," sent through the untiring work of these women connected with the department of agriculture. Girls Picked Ripe Products. All the work was done through efficient committees. One of these was composed of girl workers from the department, who went out after work to the Tarms and did the picking whenever their chairman was notified that the "harvest was ready." As is quite usual with crops, those grown by the government did not accommodate themselves to a regular schedule but fluctuated from none on some days to an amount that taxed every recruit to the utmost at other times. The War Relief association of the department of agriculture supplied help in the kitchen and for cans or supplies. However, a large part of the cans and spices were donated by those interested in the work. The recipes used were all home one, although the work, especially the latter part of the summer, had to be done on a commercial scale because of the quantity of fruit and vegetables available. Mrs. Houston and Miss Florence E. Ward of the states relations service, chairman of the committee, little dreamed, when the work was first planned, of the scope it would assume before autumn. There is probably not a state in the Union which is not represented at the Walter Reed by at least one son whose heart has been made glad by the delicacies provided by the thought and hard work of these women. The Arlington farm has been owned many years by the people of the United States and much valuable knowledge been given to them from the experiments carried on there, but this is the first time that a direct return of its products has been made to the people. No better or more fitting use, it is believed, could have been made of these farm products than to give them to our boys who have fought and been wounded "over there." Green Tomato Jelly. By adding lemon or orange, or both, a jelly can be made from green tomatoe which is of an attractive color and of pleasant though unusual flavor. The pectin substances and acids of lemon and orange, which confer jelly- making properties upon the tomato juice, are found in both juice and white peel, but especially in the latter. The bitter taste of the uncooked white peel will not interfere with the flavor of the uncooked product. 2 pounds green to- 2 cupfuls sugar matoes (about 14 ounces) 2 pints water 2 cupfuls sirup 1½ lemons (7 nearly 2 pounds) ounces) 2 oranges (15 Cut tomatoes into small pieces, cook in one pint of water for half an hour. At the same time cook the orange rind cut up small or put through a meat chopper in a pint of water, slightly salted so as to keep the peel tender, in case it is to be used later in making a relish. Combine these two mixtures and drain through a jelly bag in the usual way. Squeeze the bag gently, in order not to waste the juice; you will find that in this case squeezing does not greatly affect even the appearance of the jelly. There should be a quart of juice, more or less, according to the rate at which the water may have boiled down. Boil the juice for ten minutes to reduce it in bulk and concentrate its solids. At the end of the boiling period measure the juice; for each cupful of juice add one-half cupful of sugar and one-half cupful of sirup. Boil until a good jelly test is secured, that is, until it begins to jelly as the last drippings come from the spoon, or when a drop stands on a cold plate. The amount of jelly secured will be at least three glasses, or somewhat more than one pint. It may be almost twice that under favorable circumstances. If the juice, when poured into glasses, shows signs of jellying but does not set at once, place it away, lightly covered with cloth, for several days; you may secure a fine, firm jelly at the end of a week. It should then be covered with hot papafin as usual. The jellies made with a large proportion of corn sirup will be satisfactory if served within an hour or two after turning out of the glass, but they do not "hold up" perfectly if left to stand for a day or two, even though quite firm in the beginning. If oranges are high in price a larger amount of lemon may be used. Two lemons ordinarily may be substituted for one orange, but the flavor will be a decidedly different one.

He and his tremendous war machine were ready, Impatient, eager for action, Here was the program, as the kaiser planned it: He would force Austria-Hungary, his ally and practically his vassal, into war with Serbia. Russia would rush to the defense of Serbia. Of Russia he had no fear, for he well knew that German intrigue had already prepared the way in ad- vance for the ruln of the unhappy land of Czar Nicholas. France, he knew, would support Russia. France—she was really his immediate object. Ever since 1870 Germany has been preparing to £0 back to France. Why? Because Ger- many failed to beggar France by the staggering indemnity of 1870, because she then overldoked the coal and iron deposits of northern France, and be- cause she hated France and the French, root, stock and branch, And the kalser knew also that France was not ready for a death grapple with Germany. Great Britain, he had made himself belleve, would, remain neutral. ‘That would be well, for he wanted. to deal with Great Britain later. Anyway, her army was small. As for America—she would not fight and could not if she would, So his schedule, arranged to the day and hour, called for his triumphant entry into Paris September 2, A. D. 1914. ‘Then, with a huge French in- demnity and control of the iron and coal regions of Meurthe-et-Moselle and Lens, he would sit back, make new war preparations and get ready to conquer Great Britsin. Later on, at his leisure, would come the third war and the subjugation of the United States! War of Frightfulness. So, posing before the world as an advocate of peace driven to war in de- fense of his fatherland, the kaiser went his secret, devious way to war— to the war of deliberate and calculated frightfulness which, under the guise of warfare, despolled Belgium; lald waste northern France. depopulated Serbia; shot the English nurse, Edith Cavell; sank the Lusitania with her freight of women and children; mus- sacred, ravished and enslaved non- combatant elyilian populations—fright- fulness which has caused more than 25,000,000 casualties and the expend- iture of billions upon billions of money —frightfulness which instead of fright- ening the world into submission has arrayed in arms against her 22 civi- lized nations — frightfulness _ which now makes the name of Germany a household exccration among most of the peoples of earth. ‘At first the kalser's program went along without check or pause. July 28 Austria declared war on Serbin, Russia went to the aid of Serbia, ‘The other nations promptly fell-into line. Declarations of war came thick and fast. By August 4 the stage was all set for actual fighting, August 5 the Germans. andeBelgians fell to on the Belgian frontier. The German march to Paris was on, But, as everybody knows, Wilhelm TX did not enter Paris in triumph September 2. Why? Because little Belgium, martyr Belgium, sayed Paris. She fought. Her brave little army did not iast long. But it lasted long enough to give the French time to “dig in.” ‘The Germans thereupon found the road to Paris a series of trenches that must be taken one by one. The schedule was soon hopelessly behind time. Likewise the herote resistance of Belgium bronght Great Britain forth- with into the war. And though the British standing army was not large, it went to the front, died In the last ditch ‘and still further delayed the German march to Paris. Moreover, Great Brit- ain’s colonies from all the seven seas went hurrying to the front. And Great Biuchicbnldisnet aocmatiy forced the Ger | shipping, thus carrying to Germany the war of starvation that Germany had | planned for her. United States Neutral. ‘The United States in the meantime had proclalmed its neutrality. Italy, though a member of the triple alliance, was holding off on the ground that Its alliance with Germany and Austria were for defense and not of of- fense. It was not until May of 1915 that she got into the war and then on the side of the allies. By the end of 1914 Japan was in with the allies and ‘Turkey with the central powers, Fight- ing was in active progress in Belgium and France; on the Russian-German and Russian-Austrian fronties. ‘The government of France had been re- moved to Bordeaux. But the Ger- mans Were still 65 miles from Paris. May 7, 1915, the passenger liner Lusitania was torpedoed without warn- ing and sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Irelund. This outrage against humanity horrified civilization. Germany, however, celebrated the sinking. To the world she sought to defend her action by asserting that the Lusitania was armed and that she car- red munitions of war. She was not armed and she did not carry munitions of war. Muny Americans felt there- after that the entrance of the United States into the war was inevitable. February 22, 1916, the Gerinan crown ‘prince's army began the attack on Ver- dun which was to blast. way to Paris. ‘The bombardment of Verdun was the heaviest artillery fire of the war. It was here that the French sald “They shall not pass.” And the Germans did not pass. ‘The French saved Verdun by commandeering prac- tically ever motor vehicle in Paris und rushing reserves to the great fortress. The devotlon of its garrison, the in- tensity and persistence of the German attack and the dramatic deliverance haye made the name Verdun known the world over. June 5 Lord Kitchener, the British war hero, wa’ lost on the British cruis- er Hampshire, together with most of the crew. He was on a secret mission for the allies, It was afterward charged that he was betrayed by the Russian czarina, who furnished the in- formation which led to the sinking of the erulser by a German submarine. July 9 the German submarine Deutschland arrived in Baltimore. She carried a valuable cargo and took a valuable cargo back to Germany. She claimed to be a merchant vessel and was treated as such by the United ‘States, The main purpose, doubtless, was to Impress America with the Ger- ‘man submarine; the sinking in Octo- | ‘ber by German submarines of six mer- chant vessels off Nantucket, Muss, was presumably part of the same plan. Germany was getting ready for her ‘forthcoming announcement of unre- stricted submarine warfare, September 14 the British introduced Into war a new engine of destruction— the “tank.” In brief it Is ‘a heavily armored body, armed with guns on a “caterpillar” instead of wheels, It can thus travel over almost any sort of ground and crush its way through most obstacles, ‘The caterpillar tractor Is an American invention, originating in Peoria, Ill; the adaptation of harm- less tractor machinery to a destructive war engine was done in secrecy by an Englishman.

One of the most strik- Ing exploits of the war was the ex- ploit of an American, sergeant who rode Into action perched on the top of an American tank, Collapse of Russia. ‘The close of the year 1916 was mark- ed by the resignation of Premier Her- bert Asquith of Great Britain and the acceptance of the premiership by David Lloyd George; a new cabinet in France and « new commander in chief, General Nivelle; the practically com- plete defeat of the armies of Rou- mania, which had Joined the allies, and peace propokals from Germany to the allies through the United States. ‘Things were going well with Germany and she wanted peace on terms of her own’ making. ‘The spring of 1917 saw the collapse of Russia, a collapse undoubtedly brought about by Germany through in- trigue and for her own purposes.

The Immediate answer of the United States was given February 3—the sev- erance of diplomatic relations with Germany. April 6 the president signed a Joint resolution of the two houses of congress declaring a state of war to exist with Germany. In quick suc: cession came the selective service act for the ralsing of un army; a war appropriation of $3,000,000,000; the sending of an expeditionary force of regulars to France under General Pershing; the registration of nearly 16,000,000 men for military service the closing of the first Liberty loan with « large oversubscription; the drafting of the state militia Into the federal service. October 27 formal an- nouncement was made that American troops in France had fired their first shot In war. Nevertheless, the spring of 1918 saw three huge drives on Paris by the Ger- mans. By June 1 the Germans were within 46 miles of the French capital, in Chaieau-Thlerry, Unless they were speedily stopped Paris would be under their guns. The plan of the, French was to delay them as long as possible by rear-guard actions until reserves could be brought up. Yankees Stop Huns, And then took place the thing which all good Americans were prayer fully expecting: American soldiers got into action in American fashion, under American leadership, with American artillery and machine guns. The French commander sent to Chateau-Thierry an American division made up of marines and of infantry from the middle West. June 2 the Jeathernecks and doughboys moved into support positions back of season- ed French troops. The French were forced back and filtered through the Americans; the support positions soon became the front. June 4, about five o'clock In the aft- ernoon, the Germans attacked in force through a wheat field, in platoon col- umns, in perfect order, supremely con- fident. The Americans raked them with shrapnel and machine guns. Then they opened with rifle fire. Cool, un- hurried, they pleked their shots as if ‘at target practice. Miltary experts will tell you that the American ma- rines are the most effective fighting men in all the armies of the world; cer- tainly they have no equals with the ‘rifle. | The Germans wavered, then came on again. Twice more they stopped ; twice more advanced. Then they broke. Flesh and blood could not stand that rifle fire. ‘They crawled off through the standing grain. The Americans sent bullets wherever the wheat stirred. ‘That was the end. Days and nights of heavy bombard- ment followed. Sleep was Impossible. ‘The Americans lived on “monkey meat,” bread and water, Then they went on and took the town of Boures- ches, cleaning out the nests of machine gunners with rifle fire, bayonet am. grenade, What They Have They Hold. Next they took the Bois de Belleau. It wasss jungle. It was every man for himself, Indian fashion, from tree to tree, from rock to reck. The battal- jon of leathernecks which took the wood went in with 958 men and 26 officers. They came out with 340 men and seven officers. But they took the wood. Then they dug themselves in and fought off counter-attacks for five days until relieved, constantly shelled and gassed, not one hot meal all that time. What the leathernecks have they hold, ‘This one division used up five crac! divisions of the Germans. ‘There are those among the allies who say that the Americans at Cha- tenu-Thierry saved Paris, Just as the Canadians saved Calais. When the ‘military history of the Great War Is written Chateau-Thierry Is likely to be called the turning point of the struggle. For its moral force was. he- yond estimate, It put new heart into the war-worn French and British. All France flamed with joy. The Amert- cans ha dstopped the Hun, had driven him back, had beaten him off. And thousands upon thousands of just such ‘Americens were in plain sight pushing to the front! General Foch in supreme command of the allies on the western front, soon afterward launched the allied offensive and victory followed victory all along the fighting line of 250 miles from the Nérth sea to Verdun. It was the be- THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATICN Washington.—President Wilson in + proclamation today designated vhursday, Noy, 28, a8 Thanksgiving Day and said this year the American veop'e have special and moving cause ‘© be grateful and rejoice, Complete vietory, he said, has brought not only peace, but the confident promise of a aew day as well, in which “justice shall veplace force and jealous in- (rigue among the nations.” ‘yhe proclamation follows: By the President of the United States of America, A PROCLAMATION, It has long Leen our custom to turn in the autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. This year we have special and moving cause to be grate ful and to rejoice. God has in His good pleasure given us peace, It.has not come as a mere cessation of Arms, a mere relief from the strain and tragedy of war. It has come as a great triumph of right. Complete victory has brought us not peace alone, but the confident prom- ise of anew day as well, in which justice shall replace force and jealous intrigue among the nations. Our gal- jant armies ‘have participated in a triumph which is not marred or stained by another purpose of selfish aggression. In a righteous cause they have won immorial giory and have nobly served their nation in serving mankind, God has indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoicing as re- vives and strengthens in us all the best traditions of our national history, A new day shines about us, in which our hearts take new courage and look forward with new hope to new and greater duties. While we render thanks for these things, let us not forget to séek the divine guidance in the performance of those duties, and divine mercy and forgiveness for all errors of act oF purpose, and pray that in all that we do we shall strengthen the ties of friendship and mutual respect upon which we must assist to build the new structure of peace and good will among the nations: Wherefore, 1, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thurs- day, the twenty-eighth’ day of Novem- ber next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and invite the people throughout the land to cease upon ‘that day from their ordinary occupa tions and in their several homes and places of worship to render thanks to God, the ruler of nations, In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the nited States to be affixed. Done in the District of Columbia this sixteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, and of the independence of the United States of America, the one hundred and forty-third.

THE FASHION OF THE YEAR Business Skirts, Sport Skirts and Others A In the snops devoted to children's clothes it is apparent that even small girls are more likely to go often in silk attire than in pre-war days. Brocks of crepe de chine and taffeta are taken as a matter of course in outfitting the little maid of day. Crepe de chine is infringing on the territory of cotton fabrics so rapidly that we will soon consider them together when the time comes for selecting goods for many kinds of garments. The immense advance in the price of cottons will helpong this demand for silks. For everyday wear, chambrays and ginghams, along with some new weaves in heavy cotton, are still the best liked materials. In pink, blue, yellow and green, the chambrays are made up with white cotton poplin collars and belts or with organdie or batiste or other ingerie collars, for girls from two to six years old. For parties frocks of reppe de chine or net, or fine embroidered batiste are the choice for these little muds. Having arrived at seven years, other Business Skirts, Spo The separate skirt, to be worn with a shirtwaist, has established its place in the regard of business women, as firmly as the coat suit. It answers the same purpose and makes opportunity for variety, which is the spice of apparel as of other things. In stormy weather the girl who goes to business relies upon an enveloping storm-proof coat, since she must get out rain or shine, and wears under it the regulation and the best outfit for business—a tailored blouse and skirt or a plain tailored frock. Besides these work-a-day, utility skirts there are the very smart skirts for informal wear, that are classed as sport skirts. They meet the need of the woman who wishes to be smartly but informally dressed and to embody much individual style in the simplest of costumes. They are worn with various coats and sweater coats, and each year sees them produced in a greater range of styles and prices as silks appear over the horizon of the little girl. But nothing is prettier than taffeta which is the silk for youth. A frock of it, made for a girl of twelve, is shown here. It is a quaint affair with a plain, full skirt gathered onto a short-waisted bodice that is laid in two irregular plaits at the waistline. A sleeveless overbodice is cut in tabs at the front and back and finished at the edges with a pliping of the silk. Each of the tabs is adorned with three small, silk-covered buttons set in a row. There is a flavor of other days in this demure little frock, which has been perceived and has been carried out in the hair dressing of its young wearer. An old-fashioned round comb holds wayward locks in place and a wide band of ribbon dutifully and without bows or furbelows, sees to it that no stray ringlets fall over the brow. When the dress does not resemble a coat it is quite likely to resemble a suit. High collars appear on a number of the fall models. rt Skirts and Others women, are educated to their character. Just now those for southern tourists are coming over the horizon for the benefit of smart women who leave the North in January. They are in rich colorings in plaids, crossbars and plain fabrics. There are some very rich skirts in plain satins, in tricolore and heavy, fawny weaves of silk, especially effective in black and white. These are worn with blouses that match them in quality. There are skirts of other things than fabrics; those of white, black or tan leather, which may be heralding the day of the airplane or meant for any other service, or sport, that demands, the greatest strength. are among the new showings. The new dressy skirts of silk or satin prove the most interesting of all. Julia Bottomly T Parlors, 2745 Welton Street. DENVER, COLORA. . Hair Goods and linery Store The V. V.
