"It ha lo.i-C been t!i honored ;

mighty God for his many bl.-ss-
ings and blessings and mercies to
us as n nation. Hie year that is j
now drawim: to n close since we!
last observed our day of nation- j
al thanksgiving has been, while'
a year of discipline becauseof the '
mighty forces of war and of'
change which have disturbed the1
world, also a year of special bless
ing for us.
"It has been vouchsafed to us
to remain at peace, with honor,
and in some part to succor the
suffering arid supply the needs of
those whojjire in wantr-Wehuve

and self control in some degree'

of fear and distress! ' Our people
have looked upon their ow n life
as a nation, with n deeper com
prehension, a fuller realization
of their responsibilities as well as
of their blessings, and a keener
sense of the moral and practical
significance of what their part in
the nffairs of the nations of the
world may come to be.
"Hurtful effects of foreign war
in their own industrial and com
mercial affairs have made them
feel the 'more fully nud see the
more clearly their mutual depen
dence upon one another and has
stirred them to a helpful fit-operation
such ns thev have seldom
practised before. They have
been quickened by a great moral
stimulation.
" Their unmistakable ardor for
peace, their earnest pity and dis
interested sympathy for those
wWare suffering, their readiness
to help and to think of the needs
f ! U '"s. has r'V"aled them to

"Oar crops will feed all who
need feed; the self-possession of
our people amidst the most seri
ous anxieties and difficulties and
the. steadiness mul resourceful
ness of our business men will
serve other nationsaswell as our
-OWn ;';
?'The business of the- country

Never before have the people of

Doing Business With Europe.
NVw nitil nimcrvrr.
Aironling to the NVw York pa
'rs entirely ihmv exjiort busines
amounting to scores of millions
of dollars has bee"n' dorie by the
I'nited States through the port
of New York in the last three
weeks ns n result of the war in
Kurojie nn.1 the European de
mand for food clothing nnd war
supplies.
This development of foreign
commerce hs pointed out by the
New York Sun, is in line with
many predictions that were made
when the war broke out. It was
realized that the buying power
of the jeople in war-stricken
count l ies would be. largely cur- j
tailed, out at the same tune it
was pointed out that the belig
erant nations would be sjiending
money like water and that a lib
eral portion of it would come to
this country for the various
things that soldiers have to have
and wliTcfT tHeft gTriTTgrmtitueirj
vaituotjurnish themselves owing
purJ'lV to the swoleii demand and
partly "to the discontinuance of
ii'uiny pf tlie. factories and .the
:.....Y -.- f ,.:V.:r ." , ix.il'lliJl'-i
".' bI' ' " ul """" oi ine.iiuuii'Tsom
of food supply; ."'
The French government alone,
it is estimated has bought thirty
million dollars worth of food
stu ff s and war materials in
New York since the war started.
Other countries, neutral as well
as beligerent, have also been buy
ing on a large scale. Germany
has begun to take limited quan
tities of cotton.
This growing business with
Europe has given the financial
situation in New York a decided
edly more hopeful asjiect, and
when New York is jhopefnl, so is
the rest of the country, to such
an intimate degree is the busi
ness of this country related to
that city.
The United States had rather
have the eace money of Europe
than its war money, but whether
peace or war is to prevail it
seems that there need be no un
certainty about Europe buying
more and more largely of the
United States. And that cireura
stances will help to keep the
wheels of industry turning in this
country.

H-i ity. President Wilson today '
told directors of the Federal re-1
M-rve banks whom he received at
the White House. The President
d.vlaiV.l lie thought business
men were moiv nervous than was
tiii-essary.
' Fir my own part," said the
President,"! U-lieve the best
thing that can be done for the
country is to open up the banks
at the earliest posible date; oth
erwise ve should seem to doubt
their efficacy. Otherwise we
should seem to discredit in part
the very thing we nre underta
king. "For my feeling about the
present situation is: The only
t hiur lacking is confidence. The
circumstances of the world are
extraordinary, but weought not
to allow our mental attitude to
be extraordinary. We are more
nervous than there is cause for.
and if we go about business as if
nothing were hape'ning, busi
ness ..will- take care of us as we
take care, of it, That is my con
viction. "I will riot again use the word
"psychology", but there isapsy
cological element, there is astute
of mind Involved in this thing
which it would be very useful if
we were to correct and the way
to correct it with others is tocor
rect. it in ourselves to feel that
thore is nothing to wait for in
putting business upon the foot
ing upon which it is to remain, I
hope for a great many years to
come.
' "But when I started out I did
not expect to say these these
things. I merely expected to tell
you how sincerely gratified I am
to have the opportunity of meet
ing you and of telling you how I
congratulate the country upon
being in the hands, in the mat
ter of banking, of such a body of
men.
President Wilson is reported
as saying he is greatly pleased
with the manner in which the na
tion's foreign trade is recovering
from the shock of the European
war. He says the improvement is
constant, but while slow will be
accelerated as Nations and indi
viduals gradually adjust them
selves to the changed conditions.
