HAS BEEN BLESSED Points Out Mercies of Provi dence. THANKSGIVING NOVEMBER 25 Names November 25 As Day of Prayer and Praise Asserts Nation Should Rejoice Because of Year of Peace, Washington. President Wilson In a proclamation designating Thursday, November 25, as Thanksgiving Day, called attention to the fact tlat 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 with out breach of friendship with the great nations with whom we have had to deal," said the President, The text follows: . "It has long been the honoi'cd cus tom of our people lo turn In the fruit f ii 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, a year of special blessing for us. "Another year of peace has been vouchsafed us; unother year In which not only to take thought of our duty to oursches 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 the rights of man kind without breach of friendship with the great nations with whom we have had to deal, and while we have assert ed rights we have been able nlso to perform duties and exercise privileges of succor nnd helpfulness which should serve to demonstrate our drslre to make the offices of friendship the means of truly disinterested and un selfish service. "Our ability to serve all who could avail thetnseieve of our services In the midst of crises has been increased, by a grarlous Providence, by more and more abundant rrops; our ample finan cial resources have enabled us lo steady the markets of the world a"d facilitate necessary movements of com merce which the war might otherwise have rendered Impossible; and our peo ple have come more and more to a sober realization of the part they have ! been called upon to play In a time when all the world Is shaken by un paralleled distresses and disasters. "The extraordinary circumstances of such a time have been much to oolckm our national consciousness and deepen and confirm our confidence In the principles of peace and freedom hy j which we have always sought to be guided. Out of darkness and perplex ities have come firmer counsels of policy and clearer perceptions of the t essential welfare of the nation.

I GREECE SPURNS ALLIES' OFFERS Turns Down Bid For Co-Operation in Serbia. COERCION MAY COME NEXT Proposition Made By Entente Powers To Roumanian Considered By Cabinet Of That Country. London. Greece has declined for the present the Allies' offer to her of Cyprus and other concessions, terri torial and financial, In return for her adherence to the Serbo-Greek treaty of alliance, which would mean her military aid to assist in meeting the Hulgarian and Austro-German attacks against her former ally. The reply of Greece to the offer, is a lengthy one, and while it has not been made public there Is reason to believe that the Helleplc kingdom bases its decision not to Join the Allies on the ground that the Anglo-French force landed at Salonikl Is not, in the Greek government's opinion, strong enough for the tusk allotted It. The refusal to accept the Allies' of fer, which was not unexpected, as it has been often stated in official circles that both Roumnnla and Greece were withholding their assistance until the Allies either won a decisive victory or proved to the Greeks and Roumanians their ability to do so, or until the operations had reached a stage which would assure them that their coun tries would not be overrun by the forces of the central powers or their Turkish and Balkan allies. There Is no Inclination In the capi tals of the other members of the Quadruple Entente powers to minimize tho seriousness of the situation of Serbia. The Austro-Germnn and Bul garian campaign is developing slowly, but the plans are now fairly clear. The Austro-German center Is advancing down the Morava Valley from Somen drla, while the Bulgarians- have got across this valley to the south and command the Bclgrade-Nish-Salonikl Railway. The Austro-Gcrmans have three other forces engaged, one In the northwest, near Shabntz, one at Bel grade, and the third, which has not yet crossed the Danube, about Orsova. The Bulgars also have other armies moving across the frontier, neur ZaI tar, Pirot and Nish and further south, near Egrl Palanka and Kohnne and claim to be already In Veleze, on the Vnrdnr River. It Is this latter force the Anglo-French troops landed at Salonika probably will first encounter. On the other fronts the operations are considered to be more favorable for the Allies. The Russians, taking advantage of the removal of German troops from other points on the front to reinforce Field Marshal von Hinden burg for his drive at Riga, which seems to have been checked, have been de livering some fierce strokes at the Ger man center on the Styr and In Galicla. In all these they have had, at least, initial successes. Tho latest offensive by the Russians was assumed north of Tarnapol, where the carrying of Austro-German posi tions gave the Russian soldiers nearly 8,000 prisoners, two Howitzers and a number of machine guns. These prison ers, added to those taken near Barano vichi the day before, make a total of over 11,000 Austrians and Germans captured In two days. The Germans, on the other hand, claim lhat their counter attacks, both on the Styr and at Baranovichi, were successful, and, according to the Ber lin official communication, the Rus sians taken prisoners totalled upward of 4,000. The Germans admit, how ever, the loss of six guns on the Styr.

New York. Wireless telephonic communication between Arlington, Va., and Paris was established by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. The words, uttered by D. B. Webb, an engineer for the company, in the naval wireless station in Arlington, Just outside of Washington, were heard distinctly by H. E. Shreeve in the Eiffel Tower, 3,800 miles away. As Shreeve listened Lloyd Espen schied, in Honolulu, 4,900 miles from Washington, heard Webb speak. Thus by a few simple words Paris and Hono lulu, 8,700 miles apart, were linked for about 15 minutes. A score of reporters with telephone receivers clumped to their ears sat around a long, green table In the of fice of Theodore N. Vail, president of the American' Telephone and Tele graph Company. John J. Carty, chief engineer for the great corporation, was in Chicago. Over a special wire Mr. Carty told the reporters about Webb's message to Shreeve and Espenschied. Then he predicted communication with Toklo as the next Htep, and then the Inevitable words that would travel around the globe. Voice May Circle World. "Wireless telephonic communica tion around the world from Mr. Vail's office In New York over the continent, over the Pacific, over Siberia and Eu rope and over the Atlantic to the President of the United States. How soon? Ah, I cannot predict. I can not tell you how soon the wireless telephone to Paris can be put into com mercial service. Nor can I tell whether It will be cheaper or more costly than telegraph. "All that is In the future. We know now whut we can do. We don't know yet what we shall do. It has taken us more than three years to connect Paris and Honolulu. I wonder If you understand what the supremo moment of success meant to those engineers who have perfected this?
