PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
President Wilson issued a proclama-
tion designating Thursday, November
26, as Thankgiving Day. The presi-
dent's proclamation, which refers to
the fact that the United States is at
peace, while the rest of the world is at
war, follows:
"By the President of the United
States of America:
A PROCLAMATION.
"It has long --
been the honored cus-
tom of our people to turn in the fruit
ful autumn 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 draw-
ing to a close 'since we last observed
our day of national thanksgiving has
been, while a year of discipline be-
cause of the mighty forces of war and
change which have disturbed the
world, also a year oi' special blessings
for us.
"It has been vouchsafed to us to re-mi- n
at peace, with honor, and in some
part to succor the suffering and supply
the needs of those who are in want.
We have been privileged by our own
peace and
self-contr- ol in some degree
to steady the counsels and shape the
hopes and. purposes of of fear
and distress. Our people have looked
upon their own life as a nation with a
deeper comprehension, a fuller reali-zati- n
of their responsibilities as well
as of their blessings, and a keener
sense of the moral and practical signi-
ficance of what their part among the
nations of the world may come to be.
"The hurtful effects of foreign war
in their own industrial and commer
cial affairs have made them feel the
more fully and see the more clearly
their mutual interdependence upon
one another and has stirred them to a
helpful such as they have
seldom practiced before They have
been quickened .by a great moral stim
ulation. Their unmistakable ardor for
peace, their earnest pity and disinter- - j
ested sympathy for those who are
suffering, their readiness
to-kel-
and
to think of the needs of others have
revealed them to themselves as well
I
as tne worm.
"Our crops will feed all who need
food; the self possession of our people
amidst the most serious anxieties and
difficulties and the steadiness and re-
sourcefulness of our business men will
serve other nations as well as our
own.
"The business of the country has
been supplied with new instrumentali-
ties and the commerce of the world
with new channels of trade and inter-
course. The Panama Canal has been
opened to the commerce of the na-
tions. The two continents of Amer-
ica have been bound in closer ties of
friendship. New instrumentalities of
international trade have been created
which will be also new instrumentali-
ties of acquaintance, intercourse and
mutual service. Never before have
the people of the United States been
so situated for their own advantage j
of the advantage of their neighbors o;'
so equipped to serve themselves and
mankind.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wil-
son, President of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs-
day, twenty-sixt- h day of November
next, as a day of thankgiving and
prayer, and invite the people through
out "the land to cease from their wont-
ed occupations and in their several
homes and places of worship render
thanks to Almiehtv God.
"In witness whereof I have hereto
j
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
"Done at the City of Washington,
this
twenty-eight- h day of October, in
the .year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and fourteen, and of
the independence of the United States
of America the one hundred and thirty-nint-
"WOODROW WILSON,
"By the President. Robert Lansing,,
Acting Secretary of State."
Could Be Arranged.
A young woman with a party of
Americans going through the parks
and gardens of Warwick castle, Eng-
land, lingered behind to admire the
gorgeous peacock. "Do those birds
ever drop any of their tail feathers?"
she asked of a gardener who stood by.
He looked around, lowered his voice,
and replied: "They're hobstinate
beasts, miss, but they drops 'em heasy
at the sight of a shillin'."
Aptly Answered.
Paddy Gaffney was after getting the
old-ag- e pension, and wended his way
tq the post office for his first grant.
Paddy couldn't write his name, but
managed to make a cross all right.
The postmaster, wishing to have a
joke with him, said: "Now, Paddy,
don't you think 'twas hardly worth
your while to come so far to make
that cross?" "Well, replied Paddy,
"no cross, no crown, me boy."
They Come High.
"My darling," she murmured, "you
were ho grand, so noble, when you
proposed to me that day in the au-
tomobile! Shall I ever forget how
touchingly you Epoke of your future,
of the sacrifices you would make for
me? It must have cost you some-
thing to speak those words." "It did,
Mabel' replied the young man, a
shadow: creeping" over his face. "It
cost me about two weeks' salary for
the auto hire."
.Maxim That Holds True.
"He dines not that eats alone" was
a maxim which never fell upon dis-
honor. That we should notice similar-
ity rather than differences, as we
took backward, is but natural. The
raving for
well-cooke- d food is whole--omel- y
human, and if the palate
rows more delicate as the appetite
Decomes less gross the change is not
jeculiar to this country or that. As in
)oetry, 'so in food, the love of
sim-jlicit- y
is the .proof of a golden, if
irimitive, age.
Daily Optimistic Thought.
Who tells his own'secret will hardly

Washington. Probably few realized
recently when Germany threatened to
stir up the Mohammedans of the world
against the allies that the second most
exalted potentate of Moslem lands is
a protege of the stars and stripes.
According to tables of precedence
approved at Mecca the sovereign rank-
ing next to the sultan of Turkey ic
the sultan of Jolo.
The tactful American army officer
lets the sultan of Jolo retain all his
string of titles including that of "Over-
lord of the United States' but his real

But by Mohammedan law he is yet
the religious and political guide of mil-
lions of Moslems in Siam, Johor, the
Federated Malay States, Malacca,
Penang, Singapore, Java, Sumatra,
Borneo, Celebes, Mindanao and other
islands of the East Indies.
Nothing could illustrate better the
lack of unity in the Mohammedan
tribes and nations and the decadence
of the Moslem world in a political
sense from the time of the conquests
of the Saracens and the Turks.
The ancestors of the sultan of Jolo
for centuries controlled and led nu-
merous pirate fleets that harried the
Asiatic coast from Hindustan to Ton-qui- n.
They converted by the sword
the inhabitants of the East Indies
to the faith of Islam. On these serv-
ices the sultans of Jolo received rank
freely accorded to the present sul-
tan on his pilgrimage to Mecca only

If the sultan at Constantinople
should proclaim a jehad or holy war
through the
Sheik-ul-Isla-
the sul-
tan of Jolo would probably consult
some American second lieutenant on
the subject and then oroll a cigarette
and discreetly retire to the depth of
his harem.
This brings us to the question how
much Mehemed V of Turkey could as-
sist the German emperor.

It bars, too, the Moslems of Hindu-

influential, though fewer in number.
the Shuah to the Sunnite is "a
oursed heretic," while the Sunnite is
called "an unreasoning fanatic" by
the Shuahs.
Then, too, the different Mohamme-
dan communities are separated wide-
ly, geographically. They cling tena-
ciously to their religion but they have
little intercourse, either of goods or
of news.
It is fair to believe that a proclam-
ation the Sultan at Constantinople
would not reach Moslems for many
months or even years. Then it might
be flouted.
Ethnographically the Cossacks are
closely related to the Turks. the
hard riders of South Russia were in
the front ranks of the Czar's troops
in the Russo-Turkis- h war and in the
present struggle they would be unlike-
ly to desert on account of the com-
mand of the

would oppose them.
sultan of Turkey might, how-
ever, cause a great deal of trouble by
rousing the wild, of Arabia.
These Bedouins, always fighting the
Constantinople ruler, might yet be
brought to his standard by a combina-
tion of religious fanaticism and desire
for booty. In British Somaliland, too,
there are 500,000 Mohammedan ne-
groid natives, who remember vividly
the wars cf the "Mad Mullah" and
might be induced to take up arms
again.
The Germans promise to ad-
vantage of Egypt's discontent. Egypt
has been under the domination
Great Britain since lSSJJ. There have'
been many pilots against the govern-
ment in recent years and Turkish
emissaries have lately been very busy
In Egypt. But the discontented class
in the Nile valley is small. The
Fellaheen, who are not fighters any-
way, realize that British domination
has meant better crops and better
times. There are, however, about six
hundred thousand desert nomads in
Egypt and these might be rallied to
the jehad.
Cairo is the seat of Moslem learn-
ing. Here is the Mosque and Univer-
sity of El Azhar, with 15,000 students.
The
Sheik-ul-Isla-

considerable. But the 18,000 Egyptian
troops, who are officered by 'British,
probably would stand by their mas-
ters.
