The proclamation follows: "By the President of the United States of America. "A proclamation. "The season of the year has again arrived when the people of the United States are accustomed to unite in giving thanks to Almighty God for the blessings which he has conferred upon our country during the twelve months that have passed. A year ago our people poured out their hearts in / praise and thanksgiving that through Divine aid the right was victorious and peace had come to the nations which had so courageously struggled j in defense of human liberty and A \T????? avv> foci' ic* JUSl/iCC. i.\UW llldL CI1C OIC111 taoii w ended and the fruits of achievements are ours, we look forward with confidence to the dawn of an era where the sacrifices of the nations will -find recompense in a world at peace. "But to attain the consummation * \ of the great work to which the American people devoted their manhood and the vast resources of their coun try they should, as they give thanks xo God, reconsecrate themselves to those principles of right which triumphed through His merciful goodness. Our gratitude can find no more perfect expression than- to -bulwark with loyalty and patriotism th.ose principles for which the free . peoples of the earth fought and - died. . "During'the past year we have had much to make us grateful: In spite fVio nnn-fncmri in mir Q^ATIrtmic 1 0 VI Wiuugivu AAA vv?* vwuvaiiv *i*v resulting from the war we have prospered. Our harvests have been **" plentiful and of our abundance we have been able to render succor to less favored nations. Our democracy remains unshaken in a world torn with political and social 'unrest.! Our traditional ideals are. still our guides in the path of progress and civilization. "These great blessings, vouchsafed to us. for which we devoutlv . . give thanks, should arouse to us a fuller sense of our duty to ourselves and to mankind to see to it that mothing we may do shall mar the ^completeness of the victory which we helped to win. No selfish purpose animated us in becoming participants in the world war and with a like spirit of unselfishness we should strive to -aid by our example and by our co-operation in realizing the enduring ]welfare of all peoples and in bringing anto being a world ruled by friendship arid good will. "Wherefore, I, Wcodrow Wilson, ' President of the United States of America, hereby designate Thursday, the twenty-seventh day of November next, for observance as a day of thanksgiving and prayer by my fellow countrymen, inviting them to jcer.re cn that day from their ordiTary tasks and to unite in " their homes and in their several places of worship in ascribing praise and thanksgivng to God, the Author of all blessings and the Master of our destinies.

A ^ Washington, Nov. 7.?The first affirmative step toward qualification + vnof-,r Ti-ne toVon tnrlav VX tllC pCtlLC l i . ?V UkJ tuuvit V-U- 1?1TJ 1>y the senate after administration leaders, with the backing of President Wilsont had reaffirmed their intention Ox voting against ratification if the reservations drawn by the senate majority are adopted. 'Xiie initial test of strength on the "reservation program of the foreign relations committee found the Republicans almost solidly united behind it, the group of mild reserva tionists who helped kill the commit 'tee's amendments and the irreconcilable group of treaty foes standing together for the first time since the long treaty fight begun. By a vote of 48 to 40 the senate approved, after all efforts to amend it had failed, the committee's resnervation to the preamble guaranteeing that to make the treaty binding ' at least three of the four great pow- [ ers must accept the senate qualifi- j i cations. The only Republican who j did not swing into line for the pro->} posal was Senator McCumber of i North Dakota, while three Democrats, Senators Reed, Missouri, Gore, Oklahoma, and Walsh, Massachusetts, voted with the majority. n/liAiivrirnont W9S T*P?f'hed \\ lie 11 aujvunuuvuv .? the first of the 14 reservations was under debate, and Republican lead-; ers were claiming they had safe majorities pledged for the entire group.' , The mild reservationists, it was de; clared, had turned down a new Democratic offer of compromise while the irreconcilable wing was | devising a plan of action by which they hoped to defeat the treaty entirely. The best claim made by the j administration forces was that the .treaty would be wedged into a deadlock which in the end would make compromise inevitable. ??.. i i_ e nitcncocK jccs *? iiovn. Senator Hitchcock of Ne/oraska, . the administration's leader saw the 'president during the cjy- for the ! first time since Mr. Wilson returned j from his speaking tour and we"nt ; : over with him the entire situation j surrounding the treaty in the sen-' ! ate. Afterward, Mr. Hitchcock said, the executive regarded the | committee reservations as "destruci tive" and the preamble as "very em| barrassing" and advised the adminj istration senators to stand by their fiins. ? j The president was said to have j asserted an aggressive opposition to 'acceptance of reservations which j would impair the treaty but to have j shown a willingness to leave the matter of a compromise in the hand? of the administration's senators, to he worked out after the deadlock had been reached. Mr. Wilson explained^ Senator Hitchcock said, that fcfe had sent ior xne administration leader to give the treaty's friends the assurance of his support. Then the time would be ripe, he said, for the senators favoring ratification or those wanting ratification with reservations to get together. Among leaders of the reservation Republicans, the possibility of such a compromise was emphatically de- niprf. and it was declared the group 1 had gone as far as it would go in curtailing treaty qualifications. Feel- < ers had been thrown out immediate- c ly after Senator Hitchcock had re- t turned from the White House, these I i senators declared, and had been ab- ( i solutely "fruitless. They were more s [certain as to what might happen, r however, should the irreconcilable f enemies of the treaty adopt the \ course, said to be advocated by some f of themT of demanding more drastic t reservations as the price of keeping t the Republican majority intact. y Preamble of Reservation. s As it was adopted by the senate, t the reservation preamble was as s foHows: e j "The reservations and understand- a ings adopted by the senate are to be P made a part and condition - of the C resolution of ratification that rati- o fication is not to take effect or bind P States until the said reservations and understandings c adopted by the senate have been ac- v cepted by an exchange of notes as a part and condition of said resolution of ratification by at least three v of the four principal allied and associated powers, to wit, Great Brit- E ain, France, Italy and Japan." With the same lineup the senate n rejected, 48 to 40, two proposals! "by Senator McCumber to modify the acceptance . requirement and T also voted down, 63 to 25, a motion ! by Senator Borah, Republican. Ida- a ho, to require 'acceptance by all four of the powers named. An n amendment by Senator King, Dem6- : crat. Utah, to make tacit recogni-1V fcion of the United tates as a party to the treaty equivalent to affirma- s: tiv e acceptance of the qualifications 1 was defeated, 46 to. 42. E As a result of the day's develop? j n ments four separate elements in the Senate were claiming to hold the E balance of power which ultimately would decide the treaty's fate.. The h Democratic leaders claimed it on the basis of their deadlock program, and c the Republican leaders on the ti strength of the united Republican. support of the committee. The n 1 wi Q c; claim of the nmu reseivauvmow ? based on their determination to ri force acceptance of reservations t just as they had forced rejection of t amendments. : t The fourth element, the irrecon- ; I cilables, although not admitting c , they had any definite plan, pointed ] out that should they decline to sup-! s port certain reservations in their > present form they might secure their ( defeat and then kill the treaty on a \ vote for unreserved ratification, j ? The senators of this group, following ? a conference last night, spent a busy ( i dav canvassing the possibilities of j j I the situation and are said to have j notified the Republican managers that they intend to make a vigorous \ < fight for more drastic reservations , on Article 10 and one or two other j provisions of the league covenant. f "My uncle is very fond of the i works of Artemus Ward."
