Thanksgiving is a helday which has come down to us from the earliest €olonial days. It is a day sgjiected at 1he close of the harvest semson for the yurpose of expressing our thanks to Almighty God fer the mamy blessings which have been bestqwed upon us, a than day in which te manifest more our daily thanks for the mercies comsiderations with which we Baen favored. But this Thanksgiving day is un- usual in that it comes so closely after the signing of the mrmistice which Lrought to an end one of the greatest wars the world ever saw and such a vonflict of arms ag it is hoped wiil never take place again. The promi- yemt part waich this country has yed in this strugsle cannot be overlooked and imasmuch as it was a fight for right it is impossible to over-' look or to fail to give thanks for the supreme guidance which h Mayed such a part i destintes of the world. There have been plent) of reasons ter giving thanks to God ein in each passing ‘year bwt at no time has there ever been u greuter oeeasion for it. As Than bave vives best President giving Wilson says im his proclamation “We cause for ch rejoicing as re- and strengthens in us all the traditions of the matmwonal his- A new day shines about us in our hearts take new courage and look forward with new hope to new and greater duties.” And while it will! be a day of res icing it will alse be a dar of sorrow many homes Dbe e of the oughts of these whe will never re- tgrm, but we must reconcile our- seives with the thought that they ha gone to greater rewards and for the Surtherance of the great cause far which they gave their lives we should pray that the Almighty wiil direct the nations in the laying of the founda- ticn for a pel ent peace. KEEP THE SHIPS HERE. Quite the praper thing was the ace #ion of this’ government in declining 1o approve the proposed sale of the gels owmed by the International ercantile Marine Corporation to a Dritigh syndicate. aven though those yessels are at the present time under British vegistry. They are so regis- fered because gives an advantage to the owners which cannot be secured unfler American registry, but there Las been no time when this country . Was in greater need of gships or had mows cause Tor hoiding what is owned in this coumtry than right now. Bwery effort has been put forth to get ships. We have bought them, built, borrowed and seized them in or- der to meet our requirements, and while the need of transperting war material to Europe has ceased, we are “nevertheless in need of more than are possessed to taks éare ef the problem of getting our soldiers home and to take eare of our foreign irade. It would therefore be a serious handicap ta permrit these vessels o go to for- , eign owners now, for while we are not reluxing any in our ecnstruetion aetivitles we are far from being able ta take care of our shipping needs i present to,say nothing abeut the Tuture. From all indications the proposed . deal appears to be entirely above . bheard. Negotiations were cpenly car- ried en and it was a requirement that the transfer should have the approval of both the Unjted States and Great Britain. The shipping board, how- ever, ghows that it is right on its job in this connection and when it de- clares that this government will take the 85 vessels of an aggregate tonnage of 73000 at the price which the own- ery were ready to sell to the Dritish gypdicate for, therz certainly can be no objeetion. The British purchasers may be disappointed but it is enly what they must have realized was likely te occur. The ships should cer- tainly be kept here. $ SETTLE IT RIGHT. | Reports~at the present time in- ! dieate that the threatened trouble be- “tween Peru and Chil has been brought to an end through an apology which has been made by the former for the action of its rapresemtative at Iquique, Chile, in spreadimg the in- correct rumors regarding the hostile attitude which had been manifested by Chflegns against Peru. 1 certainly is to be hoped that the trouble amounts to nothing more se- ‘#lous and that it will pot prove the stepping stone for more and worse flare-ups.

As a cabinet officer Mr. McAdoo has had a salary of $12000 a year and he has received no extra compensation for his services as director general of railroads.

The British and &llied ships all flew battle ensigns and had their crews at statioms with ev- ery gun manned.

(Correspondence of The.Associated Press): ee et e ae ‘There were tears in the eyes of five American soldiers saved from the wrofked treopship Otranto when they said goodby to the good people of the little hamlet of Kilchoman. They had just attended a simple sabbath serv- ice especially held for them by their friend the padre, the Rev. Donald rant, in the cottage of the village schoolmistress, Mrs. Isabelle Mac- Intyre, who had personally cared for seven of the twenty survivors who reached the island, amd who with Mrs. Gr;nt, the padre’'s wife, were regarded by the men as secend moth- ers. One of the five, Private Barl Garver of Cincinnati, owed his life to Mrs. CGrant who worked for five hours over him before he revived, and who was fighting - to sove Private William Cooney, of Augusta, Ga., critically ill with ppeumonija. Far years Mrs. Grant as the assistant matren of a big hospital in Giasgow and Dr. Hugh Melntyre of Bridgend, who treated all the Otranto smrvivers, regards her as one of the mest skilful nurses in Scotland. Big Sergeant C. A. McDonald ef Galesburg. IIl, was visibly affected over the handshaking, and he said te The Associated Press representative as they dreve away te Bridgend, Island of Islay, Secotland, “That's al- mest as bad ag it was to leave home.” But neither MeDonald nor any of his cempanions realized the extent of the sacrifice those two wemen had made for the Amerfcan boys, or that of other of the islanders jncluding a warmhearted shepherd named McPhee whese twe sens, Ronald and Jehn, rescyed five men and took feur of them to their home, In order to pro- vide for their guests, the rants. Mrs. Macintyre and the McPhees not only gave up their own needed clothing but | cheerfully used every scrap of food they had to supply the hungry sur- vivors with meals, and were them- selves literally starving when Ameri- Red Cross officers by accident dis, covered the situatien and drove twenty miles to a country stere te buy pro- visions to replenish the larders of tne good samaritans. One of the Red Cross officers in re- counting to the correspendent the re- lief of the islanders concluded by saying: ‘“The people of the United States owe g debt of gratitude to the peeple of this little island that cun never be repaid,” The Otranto was i Kashmir off the Seottish coast with a loss of 357 American soldiers, Unpited States army officers have been so greatly impressed by the kindness and hospitality of the island- ers that they made a special reguest of The Associated» Press to carry a list of the names of those whose service was partieularly netable. From the Laird of Islay, Hugh Mor- rison, and his wife Lady Mary dewn to the humblest peasant, the islanders have done everything in their power to comfort the syrvivérs and hela to recover the dead. In addition te those already named the army officers’ honor list includes David MacTagzart, a farmer, and his wife and son. MacTaggart, who - is the chief of the island's volynteer cost lifeguard, led the rescue partics when the survivers begam to come ashore. Standing up to his armpits in the dangerous surf, he pulled eut four drewning men. three o f whom were soldiers and the other a mem ber of the erew. All of these, with four other survivers, were taken by ily's home at Kilchiaran, several miles distant. where they were taken eare of until a British destroyer toek them to Londenderry. Another lifesaver was Andrew Stevenson, a seaman who holds a Carnegie medal for heroism. Others on the army list are -Mrs, Sarah Hyland, Alex McMillan. Miss Jeanie Killen, Captain Rob Lawson, { Miss Mary Clarke, Miss Flora MacAlpin, Miss Fuphemie Currie, Maeiadgen, | Miss Kate Clark, Ronald McLugnrsh ;and Miss Mary Maelntyre. Many of these already had earned American gratitude by their labors in conneetion with the Tuscania disas- ter. Colonel Turnhull. head of the cen- stabulary of Argyll, is warmly praised the army officers for his able ad- ministration of the work ef recavering bodies. Sergeant of Police Maleolm MacNeil, who led the Tuscania rescus work. is also commended for his tire- less labors in recovering the Otrante bodies.

There is, indeed, no occasion for a panic for Hartford will have coal enough to keep warm—if it uses goed sense— but it will not have coal enough to keep warm if waste and extravagance in the use of fuel are unehecked. Few consumérs have received more than twa-thirds of their accustomed supply and whether they will get the other third is a problem.
