The special purpose, as recommended to congress, was to give thanks for the 'adoption of the constitution. In 1795 the suppression of the whisky insurrce- tion was recognized by a presidential call for a national day of thanksgiving. The practice of, officially recommend. ing the observance of a thanksgiving festival was gradually adopted by the Mstates until it now has Hthe.great holidays of the nation. - --- ~The First Thanksgiving. " The first Thanksgiving in New Eng: Jand 1s described in a letter written to a "loving and old friend" and dated at j "Plymouth, this 11th of Novembes, 1621." This "loving and old friend" is supposed to have been a certain sister of Governor Bradford and whe ycame over to Plymouth in July, 1628 The letter is signed BE. W., and these Winslow. Of the 102 emigrants wha /landed on the 11th (old style) of De cember, 1620, on the bleak coast .of Cape Cod, almost one-half had died and nearly all of the remainder bad suffered seriously from destitution and 'the rigors of the winter, for which they swvere ill prepared. The reward, how ever, of the industry of the few who were not disabled was so abundant as to call forth the thankfulness of this very religious colony. The letter al Juded to says: "You shall understand that in this little time that a few of us have been here we have built seven dwelling houses and four for the use of the plantation and have made prep aration' for seven others, We net the Members Side-stepping.

It probably is the best-trained body the world «Ver has had. Military eritics havg "praised its organization in un St.aled terms. A few, it is true, have §eestioned whether the Germans have ween altogether wise in carrying dis- cipline to the extremg that prevails in the anny. They contend the system is so rigid it destroys individuality, checks incentive and sooner or later must prove destructive; but war has been morg & matter of machines than of men. Fighting now is more largely mathematios and machinery <han dashy And personal valor. The Gore mof3 lead the world as mathemati clans, and they are not far behind in war 'machinery. That they have pre- pared calmly gud cold-bloodedly for ths ay when they are to hurl their armies into France, no one who has an opportunity to study their work pear the frontier can doubt. Within the last five years the rail tdads leading to France have been re. inforced. More side tracks have been pos in 'and tear the frontier these side racks spread out fan-shape, ready for the rush of trosp trains when the war signal is sounded. The army manocu- vres have familiarized commanders and men with the task they are to be called upon to perform. The mobili. 2ation plans of Germany are so drawn that & vast army can be rushed to the rontier in a few days. But France's mobilisation plans are almost as good, A great deal has been printed about the German army and little about the French. A great deal has been printed, too, about the growth of Germany and its industrial development. France has been considered to be retrograd- ing; to be no longer among the first. cl powers, and to be no match for the Germans in war. Therefore it has come to be believed that if the two should clash the Germans would ove-. run. the country from the Rhine to» Paris as they dd in 1870. The Ger- mans do not think so. They know better. They know France is formid. able. They know therc has been a marvelous change in the army of France. It is not a case to-day of a fool of an emperor, a corrupt war ministry, one marshal a blockhead and another a traitor. Neither is it a caso of an army badly armed, badly train- ed and badly led -strong ouly on pa- per. @ "French scldier does not measure up well with the German in discipline, but there have been some military observers who have declared of late that the French army will sur. prise the world. Numerically the navy and the army of Germany are stronger than that of France. But both by sea and by land Germany is hemmed in geographical- ly. Bhe has only & scant 300 mii a pf free seaboard, a little strip of coast line that stresches from the Dutch to the Danish frontier, where the Elbe and the Weser empty themselves into the North Sea. Only a few hours' steaming across the water is suspi- cious and unfriendly England. To the northward is Denunark, that still re. members t.e war of 1834 and the seis. ure of Behileswig.Holstein.
