PARIS, Oct. 21.—It was announced by the war office to-day that the Germans failed last night in a tremendous effort to break through the French line east of Rheims, There were three attacks along a five-mile front. The attacks followed a heavy bombardment, which was described as having been of great “violence and density.” The French artillery and machine guns were reported to have decimated the German forces before they reached the French barbed wire TO DEATH AT END OF BIRTHDAY PARTY French first line trenches.

For the past month Miss Lamey, who was twenty-five years old, had occupied a luxurious apartment with Miss May Flannigzn in the Paterno. When Miss Flannigan was asked to identity the body, which was only partly clothed, she collapsed and had to be attended by Dr. Steele of the Knickerbocker Hospital. She said that Miss Lamey’s death must have been an accident. They had a little birthday party in their apartment last night, she went on, a girl friend and three men being pres- ent. The guests left at 11 P.M. Miss Lamey appeared to be cheerful and happy as usual when she left Miss Flannigan and went to her own room, and she heard nothing from her dur- ing the night. A few days ago Miss Lamoy re- ceived word that her brother John | was dying in a Long Island hospital. She went to see him yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—President Wilson to-day in a proclamation de- signating Nov. 25 as Thankegiving 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 able to assert our 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 President's proclamation reads as follows: “It has long been the honored cus- tom of our people to turn in the fruitful 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 drawing to a close since we last observed our day of national thanksgiving has been, while a year of discipline because of the mighty forces of war and of changes which have disturbed the world, also a year of special blessing 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 adjust ourselves to the many re- sponsibilities thrust upon us by a war which has involved almost the whole of Europe. We have been able to as- sert our rights and tho rights of man- kind without breach of friendship with the great nations with whom we have had to deal, and while wo have as- serted rights we have been able also to perform duties and exercise privi- leges of succor and nelpfulness which should serve to demonstrate our de- sire to make the office of friendshtp the means of truly disinterested and unselfish service, “Our ability to serve all who could (Continued o on Second Page.)

The New York delegates to the Safety First Convention at Detroit returned home at noon to-day con- sidering themselves lucky to be alive.

They think that if they hadn't been on the Detroiter last night and to-day something might have happened to that train, 37 TO LOSE JOBS IN FINANCE OFFICE Salary Scale Some New Adopted Cut and Gives Raise to Others, The Sub-Budget Committ Board of Estimate recommendations Finance Department 1916, whieh mea 010, The 1915 allowar Finance Department was $1,384,045.
