PAST fEAR PROSPEROUS
Washington, Nor':' 17. President
Wilson today formally by procloma
tion designated Thursday, November
30, as Thanksgiving day. '
Here follows the president's proc
lamation: '
"It has long been the custom of
our people to turn in tht fruitful
autumn of the year in praise and
tlianksziving to Almighty God for his
I many blessings and mercies to us and
I the nation. v
I lie year mat nas ciopocu onn.o
we last observed our day of thanks
giving has been rich in blessing to us
as a people, but the whole face of the
world has been darkened by war. In
the midst of our peace and happiness
our thoughts dwell with painful dis
quiet upon the struggles of the na
tions at war and of the peoples upon
whom war has brought disaster with
out choice or possibility of escape
on their part We cannot think of
our own happiness without thinking
of their pitiful distress.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wil
son, president of the United States
of America, do appoint Thursday, the
thirtieth of November, as a day of
national thanksgiving and prayer and
urge and advise the people to resort
to their several places of worship on
that day to render thanks to Al
mighty God for the blessings of peace
and unbroken prosperity which He
lias bestowed upon our beloved coun
try in such unstinted measure. "
"And 1 also urge and suggest Our
duty, in this, a day of peace and abun
dance, to think in deep sympathy of
the stricken peoples of the world upon
whom the curse and terror of war
have' so pitilessly fallen and to con
tribute out of our abundant means to
the relief of their sufferings. .
"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle of the nations than
by contributing out of their abund
ance to the relief of the suffering
which war has brought in its train.
"In witness whereof, 1 have here-;
unto set mv hand and caused the seal
sot the united States to ne amxea.
I Done at the city of Washington,
this seventeenth day of November, in
(the year of Our Lord, 1916, and of
the independence of the United States,

000 and consisting of nickel, rubber
and silver bars. '.
The trip down the harbor was with
out incident and when last seen by a
newspaper launch, ..the submersible
was ploughing through a smooth sea
at the rate of twelve knots an hour,
headed for Montauk Point The
newspaper launch returned here after
following the submarine . several
miles. At that time the sea was
smooth and the moon in its last quar
ter cast its rays over the water.
Failure of the tugs to return at an
early hour led to much speculation,
but it was believed they would accom
pany the submersible well beyond the
three-mile limit..
: Start it Unexpected.'
Although the Deutschland appar
ently had been ready for its dash for
home days ago, its departure was
rather unexpected. Its commander,
Paul Koenig, spent the evening in his
usual manner about the city. He
called at two hotels and shook hands
with friends. When asked about his
sailing, the captain merely smiled and
said he did not know.
., After leaving a theater the captain
strolled down to the state pier, ttop
ping to converse with persons on the
way. In the meantime thorough pre
parations had been made for leaving.
The machinery of the boat had been
tested days before and the craft was
provisioned. First the lights at the
pier were extinguished and the launch
Efco of the North German Lloyd
liner Willchad scurried down the river
to see that the course was clear. Then
the' steel net that had protected the
entrance to the pocket was hauled up.
At 1 o'clock the tugs Gassie and T.
A. Scott, jr., of the T. A. Scott Wreck
ing company, steamed up to the pier.
The pontoon, bearing a high fence,
which stood between the Willchad
and the dock, was pulled to one side,
and at 1:30 o'clock the Deutschland
slipped silently down the Thames.
, Eddy Causes Collision. "
' An "eddy" caused the accident, ac
cording to Captain Baker, of the tug
Cassie, the other convoyer of the
submarine. The Cassie was traveling
about half a mile astern of the
Deutschland while the Scott and the
submarine were . moving about
abreast The sea was calm. Cantata
Baker said, and conditions were nor
mal. 1 he acott carried the usual
lights, but the Deutschland had only
its headlight and two side lights. The

tide was running almost full and
when about seven miles west of Race
Rock they struck an "eddy" which
twisted them about and out of con
trol. Shortly afterward they came to
gether. He heard the crash. The night
was clear, he said, and there were no
boats other than the two tugs and
the submarine Deutschland in the vi
cinity. He gave no credence to reports
that a hostile motor boat was ap
proaching the submarine at the time
of the accident.
Henry G. Hilken of Baltimore,
president of the Eastern Forwarding
company, said that so far as he knew
the only damage the Deutschland
suffered was a twisted stem. It was
learned later, however, that the under
sea boat has in its bow at least one
hole about twenty inches square.' A
portable forge was taken down to the
pier and the hole is being patched up.
Captain W. A. Fones, shore super
intendent of the Scott company, in
charge of the repairs, said he ex
pected that the Deutschland would
be ready to leave within two or three
days. . ':''' ;,'.-

First word of the Deutschland' dam
ages from one who saw the submer
sible after the accident came this af
ternoon from Captain ' William E.
Withey, United -States steamboat in
spector for this district. - "I found
its stem twisted to starboard sliehtlv
and three plates were damaged some
what," he said; -"The injuries were
all above the light water line and they
snouia dc easy to repair.
Captain Withev set in motion an
official investigation to determine
the cause of the accident For this
purpose he summoned Captain Koenig
to a neanng set tor i o clock this
afternoon.
President Hilken, he said, assured
him that the Deutschland's captain
would attend. The hearing was in
private.
The engineer of the Deutschland
and the lookout who was on duty
when the vessels came together, and
members of the crew of the
Cassie also will be heard before the
submarine starts again on its return
trip. It will be several days before
the inquiry is completed and nothing
as to its progress will be made public
in advance of the official findings, the
inspector said.
ADAMSON LAUDS
EIGHT-HOUR LAW
Author of Railway Measure
Denies That Act Eegu-
lates Wages.
DENOUNCED BY VAN HISE
Washington, Nov. 17. At a special
meeting of the chamber of commerce
of the United States today, Repre
sentative Adamson, . author of the
eight-hour railroad law and vice
chairman of the congressional com
mittee about to investigate the whole
subject of transportation, predicted
that congress would not wait for the
committee's report to speedily enact
legislation to make impossible such
national paralysis as was threatened
a few months ago.
Mr. Adamson told the chamber the
law was within the enacting power of
congress and denied the contention
that it is an act to regulate wages and
not an act fixing hours of employ
ment. Speaking tor himself alone he
did not believe in government owner
ship of railroads, nor in any attempt
to consolidate the regulating power
into federal hands to the exclusion of
state commissions.
Charles R. Van Hise, president of
the University of Wisconsin, attacked
the eight-hour law.
"Why may the same men not come
back in two years when another con
gress is to be elected, or in four
when a president is to be elected and
say, 'Gentlemen, if you do not pass a
law providing time and a half for
over time we shall strike,' " said he.
"It is inevitable if there is not reme
dial legislation this situation will arise
agiin and unless courage is exhibited
in the matter that was not exhibited
in this last case."
A feature of today's sessions was
the presentation by Henry R. Towne,
New York, of a plan for preventing
interruption of public utilities opera
tions by strikes. The plan is under
stood to be endorsed by the New
York chamber of commerce and pro-
IHMMIIMII
vides for the enforcement of the con
structural relation between public util
ities and employes.
Interest in today's discussions was
centered largely in the report of a
special committee which reviewed in
detail efforts of the chamber to pre
vent a strike last August in the con
troversy between the railroads and the
brotherhoods and which resulted in
the passage of the Adamson law.
The report emphasizes that the
chamber advocated throughout but
one remedy aa a basis for settlement
namely that congress direct the In
terstate Commerce commission to in
vestigate the question of wages paid
with hours of service to each class of
railroad employes and other relevant
matters.
The commission announces that it
will continue its activity in connection
with proposed legislation for compul
sory investigation and other phases
of President Wilson's program for
dealing with .the railroad problem as
well as the meetings of the joint con
gressional committee.
