CITES PEACE AND PROSPERITY THE BEE PARIS, Oct, 21.—A prolonged meeting of the Greck cabinet late Tuesday night after which no communication was issued to the press, is being generally com mented upon by the Athens newspapers, says & dispatch filed yesterday at the Greek capitol by a eorrespondent of the | Havas News agency. The message adds WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Preaj-| dent Wilson today, in a proclamation | designating Thursday, November 25, @8 Thanksgiving day, called atten- tion to the fact that the United States has been at peace, Rurope has been at war. “We have been able to assert our rights and the rights of mankind without breach of friendship vuhl the great nations with whom we| have to deal,” sald the president. “It has long been the nonored custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanks- | giving to Almighty God for His many blessings and mercies to Us As & nation. The year that is now drawing to A close since we last observed our day of na- tional Thanksgiving has been, while a yoar of discipline because of the mighty forces of war ana of changes which bave fisturbed the world, also a year of special blessing for us. “Another year or peace has been wouchsafed us, another year in which not only to take thought of our duty to our selves ang to mankind, but also to adjust ourselves to the many responsibilities thrust upon us by a war which has in- volved almost the whole of Burope, We bave been able to assert our rights and Ihe rights of manking without breach of friendship with the great nations with whom we have had to deal and while we have asserted rights, we have been able also to perform duties and exercise priv- Jleges of succor and helpfulness which should serve to demonstrate our desire to make the offices of friendsbip the means of truly disinterested and unselfish vervice. while most of| “Our ability to serve all who could avail themseives 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 enabied us to steady the markets of the worlg and facilitate necessary movement of commerce which the war might other- ‘wise have rendered impossible, and our people have come more and more to & sober realization of the part they have been called upon to play In a time when ali the world is shaken by unparalieled Slstresses and disasters.

PORGING GREECE 10 DEFING POLICY Opinion of Allied Diplomats that the Ambiguous Position Should Not Be Permitted to Continue. TALK OF TRADE WITH ENGLAND LONDON, Oct. 21.—The entente powers are bringing all possible pres- sure to bear on Greece in order to ellcit an unequivocal definition of its policy toward the other Balkan states and the European belligerents. They have intimated clearly that on ac- count of the geographical position of Greece and its treaty obligations to Berbia, its announced policy of neu- trality will be difficult, if not impos- sible to maintain, It has become a questién in the opla- fon of the allled diplomats of not per- mitting G to continue what is con- sidered an ambiguous policy until thelr opponents in the war are unable to util- ize the neutral position of Greece to their own advantage. Consider British Offer. The Greek goverment is now consider- ing the British offer of the island of Cyprus, which according to an Athens message, British will cede immediately, on condition that Greece joins the al- Ues. The Russian foreign minister, M, Sasen- off has issued a statement that he con- siders the allies justified in adopting any measures to prevent thelr enemies from taking advantage of the neutral position of a third power. The fleets of the allles already bave established a close blockade of the Aegean coast of Bulgaria. It has not been established whether the Bulgarians have occupled Vryania on the Nish-Saloniki rallroad, concerning which there are conflicting reports. It is & fact, nevertheless, that rallroad com- munieation between Nish and Uskup has been Interrupted, and if they have at least advanceed far enough to inter- rupt traffic, which accomplishes the same purpose. | Pressure On Serbia. The principal pressure on Serbia is now coming from the Bulgarian side. Recent dispatches reveal no further ad- vances of importance by Field Marshal von Mackensen's German and Austrian forces. The outstanding features on the Rus- sian front are the continued offensive of the Russians south of the Pripet and the new German offensive south of Riga. In the latter distriot the Germans are mak- ing a most determined effort to force the Dvina river, in & oountry presenting many ditficulties to the invaders. In the southern area Russian successes have modified the situation radically, and the Austro-German line from Pinsk to Lemberg is no longer held securely.

Walter Hoag]aad South Dakota Boy Writes from Trenches PIERRE, 8 D, Oct 21.-~(Special)— John Boucher has recelved a letter from & boy friend who is fighting with the Canadian troops In the trenches in Bel- glum, He says. ‘“The war rolls on and any definite set- tlement seems as far away as ever. But we should worry, for I expect to get to England soon, and believe me that be- tween Turkish baths, autos, theaters and real beds, I shall have some time. “Our battery has had no real fighting for some time, but we keep life from being too monotonous by letting loose a bit mornings or evenings, For the last few days the Germans have been throw- ing over quite a few shells, However, they don't worry us much, exeept that they occasionally disturb us while we are cooking meals, making it more expedient for us to postpone our meal until they finish their date. “we are getting the trenches fixed up so comfortable that we should about as soon be in them as out. The last time’ we were in, the Germans blew in the parapet in front of our dugout. That night we got even with them by turning the guns into their working party which they had out fixing up their bard wire, and stlenced one of their machine guns, The weather here ls. fine, the farmers Charged With Firing Depot SIOUX FALLS, 8 D, Oct. 21.(Special.) —Charged with arson, “Jack” Slyman, & farm band employed near Burbank, has been held under bond of $2.000 for trial| &t the next term of the clreuit court for | Clay county.
