ASIIINGTON. Nov. 13. Presi
dent Wilson in a Thanksgiv
ing proclamation issued Friday
night, said Americans have abund
ant cause to be grateful because
the lesions of war are rarndly
healing and because "in plenty, se
cuftty and peace our virtuous and
self-reliant people face the future,
its duties and its opportunities."
Following is the text of the proc
lamation: "The season aproaches when it
behooves us to turn from the dis
tractions and pre-occupations of our
daily life, that we may contemplate
the mercies which have been vouch
safed to us, and render heartfelt
and unfeigned thanks unto God for
his manifold goodness.
"This is an old observance of the
American people, deeply imbedded
in our thought and habit. The
burdens and the stresses of life
have their own insistence.
Peace Pursuits Followed.
"We have abundant cause for
thanksgiving. The lesions of the
war are rapidly healing. The great
army of free men, which America
sent to the defense of liberty, re
turning to the grateful embrace of
the nation, has resumed the useful
pursuits of peace, as simply and as
promptly as it rushed to arms in
obedience to the country's call. The
equal justice of our laws has re
ceived steady vindication in the sup
port of a law-abiding people
against various and sinister attacks
which have reflected only the baser
agitations of war, now happily pass
inj;.
"In plenty, security and peace,
our virtuous and self-reliant peo
ple face the future, its duty and its
opportunities, are those of service.
I'Ii-iii- Vision Sought.
"In a spirit, then of devotion and
stewardship, we should give thanks
in our hearts, and dedicate our
selves to the service of Clod's merci

dren. "Wherefore I, Woodrow Wilson,

America, do hereby designate

Hazing at

that any number of midshipmen
would be dismissed if necessary to
end the practice.
"I would rather have 800 men at

Fourth Annual Roll Call
Of Red Cross Success;
Churches To Aid Cause
Reports from Salem's forty-one
districts show that the fourth an
nual Red Cross roll call bids fair
to be one of the most successful
conducted since the return of the
organization to a peace time basis.
Although active solicitation did
not begin until November 11, rapid
progress has been made and It is
estimated by local headquarters
that the canvass of Salem proper
will be completed long before the
last day Thanksgiving.
As a feature of the publicity work
of the renewal work of this season,
special motion picture films are be
ing shown locally and throughout
the counties of Marlon and Polk.
This has attracted, considerable at
tention, as have the two displays
of war photographs In the city.
Work Is Extensive.
"The Willamette chapter of the
Red Cross is not a voluntary or
ganization," stated President H.
Meyers today. "It is a branch of
the Aenuican Red Cross and direct
ly governed by that body. It is an
integral part of the American gov
ernmental system and its accounts
are audited by the war department.
It is now doing not only military re
lief work but is actually carrying
on' an active campaign of civilian
relief. The Red Cross for Maiton
and Polk counties is ready and an
xious to help any person In need,
irregardless of whether they are ex
men. The chapter has financed
necessary operations, paid hospital
bills, furnished food and clothing,
and acted as an active assistant to
over three thousand families dur
ing the last year. It does not con
fine tis activities to- any one class
or nationality. The American Red
Cross is aiding citizens of every
civilized nation, including Germany
and Austria. A great bulk of its
work is now being done in Europe,
among both Catholic and Piotes
tarn residents."
Churches Make Plea.
The pastors of Salem are to ob
serve Sunday. November 14. as Red
CCross Sunday. This is to be a na
tional Red Cross observance day
and the pastors w'iil tell from the
pulpits just what the Red Cross
now stands for and its aims in fu
ture' work. Among others, the fol

Budget Shashes
Left to Council
By Committee
With every item in which a re
duction could be made stripped to
a skeleton, the ways and means
committee of the city council in
their meeting Friday night found
that a reduction of $4398 would
still have to be made, to keep with
in the amount allowed the city for
expenses this year.
Though thct otal must be still
further cut by the council when the
report is brought before It at its
regular meeting Monday ulght,
some of the items are already cut
to a point where the departments
affected will be plactically unauie
to function, says Chairman Baum-gardner.
The health department is only al
lowed $750, although $1500 was
siient last year. The appropriation
for public buildings has been cut,
although the anual insurance pre-
iums have to be met as usual and
the city hall roof needs repairing.
In addtiion to other items.
. Library Fund Cut.
The public library has asked for
$500 more than is allotted to It. No
reduction call be made on the street
lights, as was suggested, because of
a contract wtlh the light company
which has not expired. However,
no new lights can be granted under
exlsitlng conditions.
Even though all of the taxes
were collected this year for 120,
the city would run behind, and this
is a condtllon not to be expected.
There was a large delinquency list
for 1919, while taxes for the three
years previous have only recently
been collected.

Germany Not
Asking Entry
Into League
Mueller Says Member
ship Not Sought, but
Invitation Would not
Go Begging
Geneva, Nov. 13. Germany will
not make a formal application for
admission to the league of nations,
but would not ignore un invitation
should it be extended by the organ
ization, said Doctor Herrmann
Mueller, vice-president of the for
eign affairs committee of the Ger
man relchstag. In a statement to
the Journal De Geneve yesterday.
"Germany will not ask the as
sembly to admit her to the league,"
he declared, "because such an ap
plication would give rise to. a'sharp
discussion in the assembly, for it is
known certain states have given In
dications they would oppose her
immediate entry. I do not know
whether they have sufficient sup
port to insure the triumph of their
view point, but, howevor thrjt may
be, such a discussion would not be
without danger to the league Itself.
Besides, the German government
does not consider the league in Its
present form as perfect. How, In
deed, could It be, since, to mention
only two states ,tt includes neither
Russia, nor the United States, and
universality is the fundamental
condition of Its existence."

might beforced to follow in future
