THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
ISSUED ON FIRST ANNIVERSARY
OF SIGNING OF THE ARMISTICE
JUNEAU, Nov. 11.—The following
proclamation was issued today by
overnor Thomas Riggs, Jr.:
“One year ago today the battlefields
of France became silent—the armis
tice had been signed and the world
awakened as though from an ugly
dream. On Thanksgiving day last
year all hearts were filled with grati
tude that the awful carnage had
stopped. We were thankful that the
men of the armies and navies of the
United States, when called upon, were
not found wanting, and those who had
died had passed onward in all honor.
“This year we are thankful that our
men and and women have been re
turned to us from foreign shores and
that we may now look forward to an
era of peace and contentment. Espe
cially in Alaska should we be grate
ful that we have been spared tlje
manifestations of incipient revolution
so much in evidence elsewhere in our
country, fostered by alien or sedi
tious agitators, spreading doctrines
contrary to American institutions and
ideals. We are thankful for the ex
istence of that overwhelming Ameri
can determination which will put
down and destroy any disloyalty to
our country and our flag.
“Now, therefore, I, Thomas Riggs,
Jr., governor of Alaska, do proclaim
Thursday, November 27, a holiday to
be observed throughout the territory
of Alaska as Thanksgiving day, and
do urge on all the people, in their
homes or in their churches, to give
thanks to God for the many blessings
he has bestowed upon us, and in par
ticular for the spirit existing in all
true Alaskans, which will not brook
interference with American princi
ples enunciated in the Declaration of
Independence and confirmed by the
Constitution.
“Given under my hand and the seal
of the territory of Alaska, in Juneau,
the capital, this 11th day of Novem
ber, in the year of Our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and nineteen,
and of the independence of the Unit
ed States the one hundred and forty
fourth.”
The proclamation is signed by the
'mum.ilill|i|llllllllllllll!l'l!!!lll..
governor and attested by R. J. Som
mers as ex-officio secretary of Alaska,
and has affixed to it the seal of the
territory.
