of the Governor of Alaska:
“Although during the past year Alaska has been stricken with
flood, disease, and marine disaster; although through war and
other calamity, there are many sorrowing for dear ones departed;
although our territory has been depleted in population, due to the
national call to other fields of endeavor; still, never before have
loyal hearts poured forth a like measure of thankfulness for the
blessings bestowed upon the nation, in the re-establishment of inter
national peace; a peace which must endure, founded as it is on
American ideals, on honor and justice. We are thankful that we
have learned- the lessons of patriotism, of which our flag is the
symbol; thankful thgt we have found the way to respond to the
call of charity; thankful that our Alaskan men and women, yes,
and children, have answered immediately to all demands of the
government, and, that in so doing, we have led all the states and
territories; thankful that those who have perished for flag and
country have not passed to the great beyond in vain.
Now, therefore, in accordance with custom and following the
proclamation of the President of the United States, I, Thomas
Riggs, Jr., Governor of Alaska, do hereby proclaim Thursday,
November 28 next, as a day of Thanksgiving, whereon the people
of this territory may refrain from their labors, and in their homes
and churches, render thanks to God.
“Given under my hand and the seal of the Territory of Alaska,
in Juneau, the capital this nineteenth day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, and of the
Independence of the United States the one hundred and forty
second.”
Signed by me over my title and attested to by Charles E.

tory affixed.

_ i
Attempt* to Drive the Allies Have
Been Fruitless Since Last
September.
PETROGRAD.—Since last Sep
tember, the Bolsheviki forces have
striven hard to drive the Allied i
forces northward along; the Dvina
river to the point where it joins the
Vaga river. They are still hammer
ing away, but so far have made
no impression at all.
The Bolsheviki possess many river
craft armed with naval guns, a good
many of which are on the Vaga
and cannot be used against the
Allies until they have been forced
to the confluence. This is the main
reason for their long and persistent
efforts to force the Allies farther
north.
The Allies are in strong positions
and it is thought that the Bolsheviki
will never be able to dislodge them.
The Allied troops are composed of
Americans, Britishers and Russians.
