WHY WE MUST EAT TURKEY
millS day brings with It the W rennhil
ipiestlon, "What have i to bo thank
ful for?" From Kngland and I'rauoo
como the KieetliiKS of famous men, who
frankly say that what they hno to bo
mokt thankful for Is that tho fulled
States Is at war. t.'an we echo that south
nientV Can wo honestly ay. "Thank. iod,
wo urc ul war'".' .Some Americans seem
to think that It Is In u negative spirit
that we light, that our war is not to press
a good cause forward but merely to drus
a bad cause down. They think the war Is
a necessary evil and that as soon as tho
U-boats, which caused us to take up arms,
are crushed wu can patch uji a tpilek
truco with evil.
Hut those who regard life as ouu lone
battle see this war as simply a new phase
of an ancient conflict. War we have with
us alwas. Christendom has been at war
with Turkey for a thousand years. It
may be a bad pun, but It Is a good symbol
that Christians must cat Tin key every
TlianksKlvlng Day. We must oat Turkey.
"We must forever right and thank heaven
we want to tight the evil spirit that op
presses men and abuses women, which Is
not confined to the realm of tho Sultan,
but spreads Its tentacles wherever men
are willing to give up the Cross and sell
their souls for power and gold. The
Crescent floats over Wllliehnstrasse.
Those who do not want to light the
Sultan of (lermany arc those who do not
want to light evil In any form.
World war wo have had with us for
half a century and mdro, but only in tho
Inst three years has It broken out Into
open conflict. There was war In the
making In 1S4S. when the Prussian demo
crats trot their King In a corner and all
but forced him to become a liberal. Hut
they wero tricked by peaceful, lying
promises. There was world war In the
air when Prussia robbed Denmark of
Schleswlg-Holstein. Hut England's Ger
man Queen talked peace when there was
no peace and the tragedy went on.
Europe stood by when (Jcrniany sacked
l'rance In 1S71, preferring unrighteous
peace to justice. And for another genera
tion the Sultans of Germany nibbled now
bits of territory, made open alliance with
the Sultan of Islam, set their spies In
every corner of tho world, armed them
elves to tho teeth and all i tho world
cried "Peace," Just as Germans cry It
now. Peace, peace, that was what Gcr
nutny wanted hi 1914 peace that would
let her bully the world Into agreeing to
new pacitlst conquests. Her armies wero a
Blgaiitlo blutf, not meant to light but to
conquer by threat. Tho Sultan beiievcu
he had acquired a strength that the world
would not daro to challenge. Ho was
honestly amazed when Kngland, without
' en army, declared war; when Ainoricd,
, jvithout an army. 'Usclared war. He
', .could not understand how the civilization
Christendom could rush, half-arined,
buttlo for mi ideal that had nothing
o do with power or gold. Turkey-iii-Germany
would no nioro flsht for an Ideal
than Turkcy-In-Asla would. He could not
understand. H docs not understand yet.
Wo can Indeed give thanks that evil,
the evil that fights Christendom, has
come out Into the open for honest war
tarq and that we are at last ublo to set
clearly whero wo can deal It mortal
bfows. Already It Is apparent that the
clear vision of the difference between
right and wrong, which keeps tho Allies
fighting, Is opening- their eyes to wrongs
f.thoj hud been blind to In peace times.

AN ANTHOLOGY
OF MINCE PIE
History of Thanksgiving Pastry
Spread Across the
Centuries
.Hy HENRY LONGCOPH
Wllll.V tho owl and the pussy cat went
to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat,
II will be i eiiibeteil they took along with
them a plentiful supply of mice, which,
luring tho course of the legend, It Is told
they ale with a runelble spoon, whatever
that limy be. Long before that exeiil, Lit
tle Jack Horner, the hero of the nursery
tli.wne, was able to llnd a plum hi ills
Christmas pastry without the aid of a fork
or spoon. Hut long, long before either
event was llrst locorded the mince pie
was in hUh favor throughout Christendom,
fin no less authority than the renowned
Miss .Maty Hooper, the last word In the
olden days on all cillinaiy subjects, the
nilttce pie was eaten universally. Here Is
mi extract fioin ono of her marked pro
nouncements: ' Whether or no II Is requisite
to pour a fill ther libation of brandy Into
tho opened Interior of the nilnco pie after
It has been put Upon nur plate, as Is the
custom of some gorinaiuN. and whether or
no IIiIh brandy slmuld he lighted and set
allame, and whether or no the mincemeat
slmuld nil bo eaten, these are knotty points
tltat ma he left to Hie consideration of tho
millions nf mince pie eaters found all ner
thn world. '
There will, no dituht. he millions of
mltiee pies consumed during tho holiday
(eason this year In American and ' uglish
honics, for both are nations of Instinctive
mince pie caters, and as Instinct Is littlu
more than Inherited habit It would be a
bold housewife who would care to defy
custom and banish from the festal boatd
tho principal member of the gistrotionilc
triumvirate turkey, plum pudding and the
most ainileiit and honorable mini o pie When
the boys at the from open their boxes II
hould make them value ninro highly one
of the confectlriiis which is sum to be
there-the mince pie -when they under
stand t .mi It was originally conceived with
a more serious purpose than mere trniilll
iitlon of the appetite. Like Hie "pockel
hook" roll, an ancient cake made as an
offering to the goddess of hue, and the hot
cross buns eaten on Ootid Filtlay. the mince
pic had a sacramental or sairlllciiil origin.
The pie, with Its elongated form, represented
the cradle, creche or manger of llelhtehem,
and the mince made up of spices was sym
bolically regarded as tho Hirelings of the
Magi to tap Christ Child.
No Mexican revolutionist bus laid tlie
diversllled career that the mince pie lias had.
It has been brought to kings' tables accom
panled by the flourish of trumpets ami the
trains of tiiiiitrrlsy. and cooks bine re
ceived great emoluments for their success
in adding something particularly pleasing
to the palate of the rovil eater Inee It
wits considered a sign of orthodoxy to eat a
niinep pie to prove thai the eiter was a
"'lirlstiim. Again It was regarded with holy
aversion and preachers thundered against
its use. This plo, which was lu high favor
before the days of I'ralse-ijod-llarebones.
was also known as I'lirlstmas pie, which
term was particularly obnoxious to Hare
bones anil Ills straight laced brethren and
offensive to good purlin n oars and abhor
rent to Puritan tastes. A clever rhviiiester
of those da.vs bit It off In this manner:

At any rate, laws were made, emanating
from lln same social conscience which
tli.cd a man for kissing his wife on the
Sabbath day, making it a misdemeanor
punishable by fine to eat mince p(. or. lit
fact, to celebrate Christinas at all. P.ut
persecution could not kill the custom. To
bo sure, for a time It wa surreptitiously
eaten bv the ungodly; bin In many instances
pumpkin plo was use.I i.s a substitute, and
to this day the two are close rivals In the
homes of New L'ngland.
Poets of no moan reputation havo vied
to honor the minoc pie In Immortal verse.

Through the pagps of Samuel Pepys's
diary wo obtain many curious glimpses Into
the past, none of them more Interesting
than those bearing upon the dietary of tho
period. In tho year Ififis ho wrote this:
"To dinner with Kir William Pens, It being
a solemn feast day with him his wedding
day. and we had beside a gootl ehino of
beef, .iiid other good cheer, eighteen inlueo
pies In a dish, the number of years he had
been married."
Accoiding to another writer of the tunes
the Ingredients of the mince plo were as Is
herewith described: "The tnio mlnco pie.
as distinguished from the Christmas pie
not that of Jack Horner, which was a pasty
of mote chicken ami neat tongues, art
fully commingled with raisins, spices and
other Incieillents was made up of fruits
and spices. Not but that meat entered
largely into the elaboration of the confeo
tlnuety known as mincemeat, as one author
ity mentions as necessary Ingredients. An
unsalted ox-tongue, boiled tender and free
and the Inside of a tender and well-roasted
sirloin of beef, to which are to bo added
good sherry and Madeira " Then follows this
reflection of the author. "Some persons like
a larger uuantlty of brandy."
In Sheppard's Kplgrams of 1 n .'. 1 mlnco
pies are referred to as "Shi Id pies." ".Vo
matter, for plom-porrige or shrld pics aro
offered as a sacrifice to Comus, not to
Christ." In Yorkshire on Christmas Day
it was thn custom for tho grocers to send
each of their customers a pound or half
pound of currants and raisins and some
times other material as an encouragement
to continue the practice of pie making, as It
Is contended that a particular luckiness Is
attached to mlnco pics when eaten In twelve
different bouses during tho twelve days and
will bring a happy month each. In the
Hrltlsh Museum is preserved a copy of a
niasfiuo In which the character of Mlnco
Pie is taken by the Honorable Miss Sellna
Dennisott.
Whether the plum pudding or the mlnco
plo can claim priority is merely a matter of
conjecture ; but It Is fiulto probable that tho
mince plo antedates the plum pudding,
owing to Us religious origin, and that una
Is a modilleation ot the other. Tho nanio of
plom porrigo was given to the pudding
which Is the pride and joy of all Anglo
Saxons. It was made by boiling beef or
mutton hi a brotli thickened with brown
breud ; when hilf boiled, raisins, currants,
prunes, cloves, mace, ginger and citron wero
added. When the mass was thoroughly
boiled It was said to bo of great similarity
to tho modern nuddlng. "No man." unlit
the V.itler, "of tho most rigid virtue gives
olfenso by an excess of plum pudding, i)e.
cuuso they are tlie first part of tho din
ner." Tho custom of making one's own mince
meat has almost gone out of fashion, as It
Is so eusy to order it from tho baker or
place It on the table at a moment's notice
by n trip to the corner grocery, aided by
a kettle of scalding water and u can opener.
Hut tho mlnco pie or plum pudding of coin,
merco of a generation ago was not looked
upon with favor by the thrifty housewife.
She preferred to make her own mincemeat,
and took as much real prldo In stoning tho
raisins, chopping the suet, paring and she.,
lug tho apples, washing and drying the cur
rants, crumbling tho bread, slicing the cit
ron and mixing and stirring as a chemist
would In compounding a pet forrftula, Kha
scorned to transfer her allegiance from tha
family altar and make her cakes, bread or
preserves by telephonic, conspiracy. His
tory has a habit ot Iteration, and many of
tho old customs which hive been abandoned,
either through sheer laziness or lack of
time, will now be resumed by dire necessity.

That's me of tho things that beat us."

I A CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK rtoJ
THANKSGIVING-DAY THOUGHTS
Noted English and French Authors and Publicists
Express Sentiments of the Season Thank
ful for American Intervention
W1
ll AT has the world to bo thankful
for?
This ipicstloii was put to a number ot
Hrltlsh and French writeis and publicists.
"I havo never personally been thankful
for anything so much as tho entrnnco 01
tho United States Inlo tho war," bald tho
Hlght Itov. A. F. Wilmington Ingram,
llisbop of London.
"II scorned unthinkable that wo should
Ins lighting for the freedom of tho world
and not have our brothers by blood fight
ing at our side. Hut now we have, aim
It Is a great cause of thanksgiving that
wo are now- bound to ono another lu n
bond of common self-sacrlllco which noth
ing can ever bleak.
"It Is also a matter of great thanks
giving that the Issue Is so clear. No ono
can doubt for a moment that tho triumph
of our enemies means the downfall of all
that wo mean by Charity, .lustlco ami
Truth and that all our glorious sons who
die for these causes dlo in the same causa
for which Christ died. It must bo our
unflinching determination to sec mat their
sacrifice is not In vain."
Arnold Bennett's Comment
"Hoth America and Croat Ilrltaln hav
to bo thankful that the Idea of democracy
Is making progress throughout the world,"
said Arnold Dennett. "Democracy means
disarmament. The Instrument ot disarma
ment will bo n. Leaguo of Nations; and
wo havo also to bo thankful, that In both
countries thcro aro powerful men who un
derstand tho supremo importance of a
Leaguo of Nations."
Arthur Henderson Is tho spokesman of
Hrltlsh labor. Ho was for a time a member
of the War Cabinet.
"Sinco August, 1014, tho freo democracies
of tho woi Id have been subjected to their
greatest trial; and It Is cuuso for satisfac
tion that they havo btood the test," said Mr.
Henderson. "They realize that tho great
world conflict Inlo which they wero called
to enter was tho inevitable fruit of auto
cratic government and unbridled militarism.
"Hatred ot war had not dulled their
perception of national and moral responsi
bility, for they were quick to realize that
free, progressive democracy was not con
sistent with uncontrolled military despotism
Impelled by lust for world domination. With
unity, chivalry and courage they labored,
fought and sacrillced for a cause In which
the highest Ideals were Involved,
"Today tho great Hngllsh-spoaklng de
mocracies of America and Ilrltaln aio
comrades In a common cause; and, notwith
standing tho appalling loss of human life
and the Impoverished world by tho destruc
tion of property and material, they aro de
termined that tho war must bo so conclud
ed as to bo tho end of all wars; that such
it victorv must bo secured by moral, po
litical, diplomatic or military means, ac
companied by a Leaguo of Nations, arbltra-
turn una uitarniuincui. an wm nuiw n. in
currence of such it catastrophe Impossible ;
by which alono the world can bo uiudo bafo
for democracy."
Viscount Uryco Speaks
Viscount Hryco uiado this statement:
"America and Ilrltaln havo to bo thank
ful that they have both obeyed tho volco of
duty which called to coma forward hi tho
causo of all mankind to defend tho prin
ciples of right, tho biicredness of interna
tional engagements, tho dictates of hu
manity which forbid cruelty and protect
even In time of war Innocent noncoiu
batants. "Ilrltaln has suffered Borcly In discharg
ing this duty. America In her turn will

front cowardice or Indifference at' 11 mo
ment when the wliolo future of tho world Is
at stake.
"Never before have wo had moro reason
to feel prldo lu our, countries and to love
them." , . .. , ,
From Sir Arthur Conan Dpyic, creator of
"Sherlock Holmes," comes this sentiment:
"The fact that every branch of the
linBllsh-speaklnS peoples Is now shedding
Its blood upon a common battlefield with a
common end In view is so great an event
that It will repay us for all present priva
tion and untUty. .

tills situation would never have arisen. If
they remain close it will never ariso again."
Tho French writer, Jean Flnot, editor of
La Itovue, said:
"Ono consequence of this war Is a now
discovery of tho Fnltcd States. Tho nation,
oiicp" represented by Its detractors as vowed
to tho cult of tho Golden Calf, stands today
ri vealed before Cod and man as tho most
ineiitorlous of nations. Hehind tho In
genious money makers wo havo detected
millions of noblo souls led by an admirable
chief, win. Is, Indeed, the just man of the
Lbble. I refer to President Wilson.
"Tlie division of tho old and new world
Is a thing of tho past, hi futuro there
will bo but ono fraternal group of peoplo
communing across the ocean with tho same
respect for liberty and right. Tho people
of tho United States will have to their
credit that of having aided this triumph
of liberty and right. Without their Inter
vention tho fate of humanity would havo
I feu compromised fir centuries to come
Willi their aid. humanity will bo caved.
In shethllng their blood for the most noble
ol causes they will thereby retemper and
strengthen thtlr natloral unity
"Til-- months of war undertaken In com
mon will acccnipllsh tho work of centuries
In consolidating your country. Thanks
giving should be celebrated this year with
tho conviction that tho Kreat American 11a.
tli-n has become tho first mid most loved of
nations."
Kmllo Houtroux. celebrated writer and
member of tho French Academy, made this
comment:
"It has been said, 'What shall It prollt
a. man It ho gain tho wholo world and foso
his own soul?'
"Kvll-dlsposcd observers, especially on
tho other sldo of tho Hlilne, thought this
saying could bo applied to tho United
Slates, nid tho citizens ot tho Union, all
powerful In material things, still preserve
tho high Idealism of the Pilgrim Fathers and
of the heroes of the War of Independence?
The Sublime Ideal
"Th present war, which Is a dcllauce
thrown by force lu tho faco of liberty, of
Justico and humanity, put tho American
nation to tho test. Provided It would con
sent to renounce Its noblo origins, religious
and moral, it was practically assured of an
enormous Increase ot prosperity and well
being: whereas to stand up against thu most
formidable machine of destruction ever
known meant taking every risk.
"America, after nro'founil reflection reui
Ized tho tiaturo of tho strugglo and' reso
lutely spoko up: Hero am I !'
"When duty whispers low: 'Thou must,'
"Tho Vouth replies: can.'
"According to tho poet-phllosopher, this.
imi-iiui- motive, tnis aosoiuto devoting of
one's self to a duty which whispers softly
and exercises no coercion, Is Inspired by Cod
hhiibclf.
"President Wilson lias declared loudly:
'It was not thn consideration of material
advantages, tho deslro for obtaining any
profit whitsoevcr, which in April, 1017,
guided tho American soul ; It was tho spirit
of our ancestors which hud remained faith
ful to Its subllmo Ideal.'
"And It Is for this triumphant action of
Dlvluo Grace hi tho American soul that tho
American people, and with It all those who
are lighting for Justice, should thank Cod In
this year of trial which will, without doubt,
bu dcclslvo for tho futuro of Immunity."
THE ELDERLY SAFETY-PIN
The safety-pin and the book and eye
are generally supposed to bo modern In
ventions. The former, lu fact, has been
credited to Queen Victoria. She may huvc
Improved upon It, but certainly she is not
entitled to tho distinction of having in
vented It. Numerous specimens of tlie use
ful contrivance have been round In the
ruins of Crete. Some of them ar In tln
mubeum.of tho University of Pennsylvania,
and the museum has also a book and eye
from the same place.
Hoth the safety-pins nnd tho hook and
