1 8 THE BOSTON GLOBE MONDAY NOVEMBER 18, 191S Order of Gold Stars For Survivors of Soldiers THANKS FOR VICTORY HUNS 42 GUNS TO AMERICANS 130 MEN KILLED AND 91 MISSING President in Thanksgiving Day Proclamation Says Justice Will Replace Force When You Cannot Sleep IN BOSTON CHURCHES Cosmopolitan Gathering at Old North Flags Everywhere WASHINGTON, Nov 17 President Wilson in a proclamation today designated Thursday, Nov 28, as Thanksgiving Day, and said this year the American people have special and moving cause to be grateful and rejoice. Complete victory, he said, has brought not only peace, but the confident promise of a new day as well, in which justice shall replace force and jealous intrigue among the Nations. In the proclamation the President says: It has long been 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 he grateful 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 promise of a new day as well, in whch justice shall replace force and jealous intrigue among the Nations. Our gallant Armies have participated in a triumph which is not marred or stained by anypurpose of selfish aggression. In a righteous cause- they have won immortal glory and have nobly served their Nation in saving mankind.

God has indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoicing as revives and strengthens in us all the best traditions of 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 seek the Divine guidance in the performance of these duties, and Divine mercy and forgiveness for all errors of act or 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. Therefore, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, the 28th day of November next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and invite the people throughout the land to cease upon that day from their ordinary occupations, and in their several homes and places of worship to render thanks to God, the ruler of Nations.

The question of feeding and housing them is taxing the facilities of the Army and the various organizations which have been supplying the Americans with luxuries.

In Spincourt the Americans found 2000 hungry Russians and late Sunday started to transfer them to Verdun by trucks which had hauled supplies for the American advanced troops. Owing to the shortage of food on Saturday two horses were killed at Spin-court. but this meat only half satisfied the Russians, who had been freed by the Germans several days ago. Wear Old German Uniforms Many of the former prisoners were attired in German castoff uniforms and had their effects in wheelbarrows, carts, hand trucks and baby carnages. For the most part, the prisoners were well clothed, but hungry.

Already the Americans are starting outpost feeding stations, where they are serving coffee, bread and canned meat. In one instance released prisoners rushed an American truck loaded with bread, cleaning it out before the crowd could be controlled.

WILSON SAYS PLACE IS IN WASHINGTON "WASHINGTON, Nov 17 Announcement today of President Wilson" declining an Invitation to attend the Britain Day celebration In New York.

Dec g. caused renewed discussion here question of whether the President will go to Europe for the great Peace Conference that is to settle, finally the issue growing out of the war. Tha President had said: "It is mv plain duty to be here, for I can act more promptly upon matters which seem to mature almost every hour, and I am sure that I can be more true to the common cause by staying here." By some this was taken to mean that the President would not attend the Peace Conference. Generally, however, ecePted as meaning that the President expects that the exchanges between Col E. M.

House, his personal representative, and the Entente Premiers in preparation for reassembling of the Peace Conference still will be continuing Dec 8. In advance of the meeting of the conference many delicate questions must be settled by the Supreme Wur CouncU at Versailles. Since Col House reached Paris tnere have been daily exchanges between him and President Wilson, and these must continue unttil the council work is completed and the wav is clear for the assembling of the congress. haa Veen no indications that the I resident has reached a decision on the suggestion from high sources in Europe that he at least be present for the opening of the congress, but there has been a growing feeling here for several days that he will Eo to Europe, though probably not as an active participant in the meeting The general belief here now i that the congress cannot assemble before January, for even after the United aJe8 and the Allies have completed their present exchanges of views and the Supreme CouncU has drawn ud the or 4h meeting, several weeks required for the assembling of the commissioners which are to represent the participating Nations.

Already President Wilson has formally advised Chancellor Ebert, In reply to an official communication from him. that on receiving definite assurances that order will be and foodstuffs distributed equitably, the Allies and America would take steps to send relief. From the outset the Allicd-Amerioan plans contemplated the use of German merchant ships to transport foodstuffs for the relief of the peoples of Central Europe, and incidentally for other peoples who are suffering as much as the Germans. Germany is not to be made a favorite in the matter of obtaining foodstuffs from Allied or neutral countries. The Allied and American Governments fullv realize, the seriousness of the food and political situations in Germany and have no desire to see a rule ot anarchy there, which would further complicate an already complex situation.

In the numerous appeals to America for assistance in relieving the food situation in Germany a new form of propaganda is seen. The Ebert Government apparently desires to build up a sympathetic background tn the United States and elsewhere throughout the world in the hope that it may have some bearing on the final peace terms. Those in positions of authority do not hesitate to say that the Germans may. be able to work up some sympathy here, but that it can have no possible effect on the outcome of the peace conference. President Wilson had announced to the world that America stands for a peace of justice.

Recently Premier Lloyd George announced that the British Government also adheres to this principle. The same is true of other Allied lowers. The American delegates will not be influenced by any propaganda sympathy worked tip by the German wireless messages which are being broadcasted throughout the world. SOLF FEARS BERLIN FOOD SUPPLY WILL BE CUT OFF LONDON. Saturday, Nov 16 The fol lowing wireless dispatch from Dr Soil the German Minister of Foreign Affairs, addressed to Sec of State Lansing, was picked up here today: The return of the troops from the West gives rise to the fear that within a verv short time Berlin and other large German towns will be cut oft from supplies of food from the Interior.

We therefore repeat with the greatest anxiety our request of yesterday that you should not hesitate a moment In convening a conference at The Hague, as proposed by us, to which our representatives could travel in the next few days. "Further, we urgently request that permission of the President of the United States be given so that a German commission nay leave immediately for America and personally lay before the Government tfrre the conditions existing here and to assure steps being taken for the purchase of most necessary foodstuffs. "We cherish the confident hope that the humanitarian feeling of the Ameii-can people will not frustrate the possibility of saving thousands of women and children from death by starvation." FINLAND REPORTS THERE IS TOTAL LACK OF FLOUR STOCKHOLM, Nov 17 (By A. Reports from Helsingfors are to the effect that bread flour has become exhausted. There is none for distribution this week, and the situation Is said to be desperate.

URGES SAVING FOOD' TO PREVENT ANARCHY Feed away the discontent of the says the Massachusetts Food Administration, "by saving food at every meal. Every person in the State must aid in conserving for the hungry millions of Europe in order that revolt may not spread to all the nations of the world. Anarchy is the offspring of starvation. "Action on the part of the people of Massachusetts should be taken immediately if the cause of organized liberty is to be upheld and advanced. The surest channel through which to' first direct our efforts is that of feeding the discontented.

Saving food is the only means by which Bolshevism can be stifled and the newly freed peoples of Europe made free in fact as well as in word." OFFICER ATTACKED FOR ARRESTING TAR About 7 oclock last evening reserve officer Stenhen J. Whalan of the Iludlev-st Police Station had a lively 15 minutes with a crowd on Hampden fet, near Eus-tis st. Roxbury. Rowdies Protested ins arrest of Albert E. Vincent, aged 18 a United States sailor.

The sailor protested being halted by the officer, but was arrested on a charge of operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor. A large crowd gathered and the sailor shouted to the gang to stick with him. Several young men responded to his call and in a free-for-all tight officer Whalen lost his helmet. The melee occurred near the police station and Sergt Walter G.

Urg Free Luxemburg CHICAGO, Nov 17 Resolutions addressed to President Wilson asking recognition of Luxemburg as an independent State and that he use his in-1 fluence to have that country represented at the peace conference, were adopted todav at a meeting of more than 7u)i Luxemburgera. Victory services were held in several ff the Boston churches yesterday.

In most instances there was special music, and in all rases the churches were appropriately decorated with the Haas of the Allies and the United Statc-s and Speakers of local prominence delivered brief addresses at some of the exercises. They drew comparl-aone from the war and told of the les-tiona taught by it. and in speaking of the loanee and sacrifices predicted that in all instances the benefits derived from the war will more than compen-fciite for the losses and great sacrificed. f'hlldien had a prominent part at some of the services, which were begun In the Sunday school and continued throughout the day at all church exercises. At Old North Church From the belfry of the Old North Church, where nearly 150 years ago the Signal lights sent forth their message of revolution, the ancient chimes pealed yesterday In Joyous tones, and trumpeters proclaimed the coming of victory, calling to 4rayer one of the largest and most cosmopolitan gatherings Unit historic temple has ever held.

Uniformed men and civilians of every ac and creed took part in the victory service, which was conducted by Itev V. H. Iiewart, rector of the church. 0ev Mr Iiewart spoke of the part the church took in the conflict of other days, and told of the historic significance of the various memorials in the edifice. Victory addresses were delivered by "William Hoscoe Thayer, overseer of Harvard College; 1rof Louis J.

Mercler, Instructor of French at Harvard, and Nolta of the Aviation Corps. "The most tremendous manifestation of an attempt to make evil overcome good," said William Hoscoe Thayer, "as Germany sought to do. has been frustrated, and today we celebrate the overllow of JriiHHlanlBm, a term which tj pities the meanest, vilest, moHt atro-t ious attempt to force the domination of every moral law and right by the power of evil. Liberty Assured to World "What the war has mount is that Germany has been forced to give up what she planned from the very start, of w-orld ambition; instead of mercy, she scattered frlghtfulness; instead of justice, we know not v. hat, for there no word in any language that can bo liaed to name what Germany substituted for "Justice." war has shown us what civilisation really means; we were born to liberty and had taken too much for granted for the rest of the world.

We thought liberty would go on, Just as in the loping times of peace, everywhere: today the wur has made our boys decide tn it it is better to die than not have liberty 1 ule the world. "The war has made visible, tangible and real the fact that civilization is the most precious thing man can have, and that civilization must tie defended. LV perverted science which turned Ger (nail men into soulless machines of horror will never hereafter dominate toe "world, "In our great Joy and natisfaction at the result, let us not forget to lie humble, to choose justice over revenge, good over evil.

Germany looked into the eyes of ier victims cynically, sardonically aod mercilessly, and we know it Is not with pleasure that she looks into the Wes of Ferdinand Foch. Must See Justice Done "We must not fail to see justice done, we have no spirit of revenge, no bitterness, we shall not starve our enemies, but let us make sure thnt the one moral effect of the war is not lost by mitigating Justice." Prof Mercler said that the war is the culmination of the great struggle begun when the lantern of Paul Itevore started the tight for freedom, that tho real full (meaning was not clear till America threw her sword into the fight to emphasize the sentiments of the first nation born of freedom. "If America hud not realized her duty, who could tel) the consequences" If America hadn't answered the roUcall, this Faster day of the worlds victory, we might now be chattels in the hell of Germanys autocracy." Mr Nolta spoke briefly on the work of tthe aviation service during the war. At Church of the Advent "We shall never forget, we have not forgiven.

"Let us give thanks for the valiant men who have led our armies to this victory. Let us give thanka to the men in all the Allied armies.

"Let us have gratitude and thanksgiving for every one of these men. We honor ater thank all who have had a share In this victory. "We, here in our own land, safe and far from the scenes of conflict, must now pay our debt of gratitude to those who first threw themselves into the breach. We must split no hairs now as to our Allies. Aristotle has said, "There Is no union so great as that made by comomn suffering in a good cause." We are united with France, Belgium and all Nation and peoples who pledged their lives and their word to this sacred cause.

To them we must pay our debt of thanksgiving. "We have shown our joy, we have given thanks, but we must not forget. They are unwise and unthankful who talk to us now of forgetfulness. We snail always remember every evil deed of this war as we shall remember the good. Nothing can take from us the horrors and wrongs which have tome from the unbridled ambition of one man.

We shall never forget. What nien believe determines what they are. Because we believe in freedom and truth we are enemies to oppression and cruelty. Forgive the enemy? Forgive what this man has done? Shall we forgive and forget? They only are forgiven who have confessed, done penance and made restitution. We shall not forgive until proof of repentance comes forth, and even then let Justice be empowered as she is enthroned." At Other Churches At Trinity Church there was a service of thanksgiving conducted by Rev Dr Alexander Mann, the rector.

Bishop Lawrence had appointed the day as Victory Sunday and Pr Mann preached a most eloquent sermon, drawing lessors from the war and Indicating the benefits the world has derived from it. The musical pervice was especially patriotic and stirring. Rev A. It.
