THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
TERRITORY OF ALASKA
By the Governor
The annual observance of a day
of thanksgiving in the United States
having become a fixed custom, it
becomes a privilege to remind tire
people of Alaska of the recurrence
of this event, and to ask theif co
operation to the end that its sir
nificance may be duly and fittingly
acknowledged; and, therefore, in ac
cordance with the proclamation of
the President of the United States,
I. J. F. A. Strong, Governor of the
Territory of Alaska, do appoint
Thursday, the Twenty-fifth day of
November, nineteen hundred and
fifteen, a day of
THANKSGIVING
""And it is recommended that on
that day the people of Alaska re
frain from labor, so far as pos
sible, and unite in a general observ
ance of the day. As a people, we
should be thankful for many bles
sings. Our country continues to
be at peace with the world; it
stands out pre-eminently as the
sanest of nations in the midst of
the war conflict that engulfs the
peoples of Europe, and which shocks
the world. Through the many per
plexing situations that have arisen
during the year, and the many
problems that have ^developed and
demanded solution, this nation has
been enabled to preserve and main
tain peace without sacrificing prin
ciples; the continuation of this col
ossal war, involving, as it does, the
fclash of fundamental political ideas,
makes this especially a time for the
searching of hearts for taking ac
count of our stewardship as guard
ians of those principles which are
the foundation stones or the nation.
We have had bountiful crops, we
have had opportunities for service,
for public enlightment, and these
have been used for the uplift and
benefits of humanity; we have been
favored beyond all precedent, and,
while there is still much to be done
for the betterment of conditions
among our own people, there has
been substantial progress along
lines that make for the well being,
and greater economic freedom and
happiness of all the people of this
republic.

TYPHOID FEVER CONTROLLED
Three years ago the field men of
the Geological Survey, as well as
some of the office force took advan
tage of the offer of the War De
partment to supply official anti
typhoid serum, and practically the
entire force of men was inoculated.
Since that time, as far as reported,
there has been no serious case of
typhoid fever among those inoculat
ed. Two cases of typhoid among
topographic engineers indicate the
great effectiveness of this inocula
tion. In both these cases the men
simply felt "off feed” for a couple
or three days and refused to go on
the sick list; in fact typhoid would
not have been suspected in either
case except that in one of them
somebody suggested the possibility,
and an exhaustive hospital examin
ation, blood-test, etc., showed that
the engineer had a theoretically
well developed case of typhoid, the
practical results which, however
failed to incapacitate him for duty,
so that he did not even go to bed
/or one day.

AS A MEANS OF ENDING BIG
EUROPEAN WAR
PARIS, Nov. 13—A correspon
dent of the Associated Press has i
given out the following curious
communication written on thick
official-looking paper without any
indication of its origin. The article
follows:
“The United States as the Prize
For Setlement of tile Present
European Conflict’
__
“It is suggested on high author
ity that ‘sugestions have been made
in the diplomatic circles of Euro
pean chancellories declaring that the
easiest solution and the one mos~
acceptable to all warring nations
would be the partition among them
of the United States of America.’
The United States of America are a
most inviting prize as compensation ,
for the sacrifices rendered by these i
nations, and the respective rela
tions of the different nations is
surprisingly practicable.
“So far from being a visionary
scheme for a solution of this great
world conflict, the fact is only too
apparent that only a small port of
the effort expended in the san
guinary struggle, now raging, would
have sufficed to satisfy all nations
in their respective ambitions.
“A noted diplomat declared his
surprise that this idea of the parti
tion of the United States had not
emerged sooner, because the land is
so largely made up of the constit
uency of all the warring nations.
“The tentative plan to satisfy thus
the national ambitions of the Eu
ropean countries at war, instead of
prolonging the intemicine struggle,
is broadly outlined ns follows:
“Great Britain is to occupy New
England, Maryland, Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida.
“France is to get the French parts
of Eastern Canada and the states of
Louisiana, Mississipp, Alabama, Ar
kansas, Tennessee and Kentuckey.
“Germany is to occupy the states
of New York, Pennsylvania, Oh'o,
Indiana, N' -higan, Ulinoise, Missouri
Town, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
’* Japan is to take the Pacific
Coast, Upper and Lower California.
“Mexico is to be compensated for
Lower California by codin''- to it
Arizona, New Mexico and nnrt of
Texas.
"Russia will receive A In-lra.
The Panama canal will bo declar
ed free, whilst the Western states.
North and South Dakota, Nob’-aska.
Kansas, Oaklahoma, Washing ton,
and Colorado will ho consolidated
into an imperial crown domain of
the German empire.
“Though these ’satisfactions’ are
to he acquired in a concet-tnd cam
paign, each of the several nations is
to affect the occupation of its own
allotted territory.
“Thus it is claimed, would best
be met the rights and interests of
the different nations of old Euronn.
as it would safeguard their nation
als under their respective flags.
"Whatever may be said about
this bold solution, it should be ap
preciated in many ways it is more
feasible than the three successive
partitions of Poland, which never
the less are historic facts.
"Truth is sometimes stranger
than fiction. This alleged tenta
tive understanding of *he nowors
at war may be releagted to imagin
ative fiction, but it is surelv not
stranger than the sober truth, and
it. might easily take its form.”

The Return of Miss Petticoat
After masquerading in various guises==such as the
tango=skirt, the sheath like skirts and a host of other varieties
“the petticoat is with us again for a season or two. But she
is wonderfully changed. Instead of the old stiff and starchy
kind, a mass of muslin, embroidery and lace, we now have a
demure, simple and graceful garment, so necessary for proper
lines in the new fall skirt; which is short and swirls about so
much when one walks or dances.
The most interesting feature, however, is the low
price which Heckman’s are selling the new petticoats for:
