Proclaims Thursday Nov. 25 Thanksgiving. Washington, Oct. 21.—Presi dent Wilson in a proclamation declaring Thursday, November 25, as Thanksgiving day, called attention to the fact that the United States has been at peace while most of Europe has been at war. "We have been asserting rights and the rights of mankind without breach of friendship with the great nations with whom we have had to deal," said the President. The text follows : "It has long been the honored custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumns of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. The year that is now drawing to a close since we last observed our day of national thanksgiving, has, while a year of distress because of the mighty forces of war and of changes which have disturbed the world, also been a year of special bless ing for us." "Another year of peace has been vouchsafed us; another year in which not only to take thought of our duty to ourselves and to mankind but also to ad just ourselves to the many re sponsibilities thrust upon us by a war which has involved almost the whole of Europe.

"Our ability to serve all who could avail themselves of our services in the midst of crisis has been increased, by a gracious providence, by more and more abundant crops; our ample financial resources have enabled us to steady the markets of the world and facilitate necessary movement of commerce which the war might otherwise have rendered impossible; and our people have come more and more to a sober realization of the part they have been called uDon to play in a time when all the world is shaken by unparalleled dis tresses and disasters, "The extraordinary . circum stances of such a time have done much to quicken our national consciousness of deepen and confirm our confidence in the principle of peace and freedom by which we have always sought to be guided. Out of darkness and perplexities have come firmer counsels of policy and cleaner perceptions of the essential wel fare of the nation. We have prospered while other peoples were at war, but our prosperity has been vouchsafed us, we be lieve, onlv that we might the better perform the functions which war rendered it impos sible for them to perform. "Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby THE DANBURY REPORTER designate Thursday, the 25th of November next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and and invite the people throughout the land to cease from their daily occupations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks to Almighty God.
