There is no parallel in the annals of history, ancient or modern, of so rapid a rise to the brilliant pinnacle of prosperty as that achieved by the people of the United States; for no country of the globe does the future hold greater promise of golden fruits. To enumerate the bles sings for which more than eighty million people are this day giving thanks to Heaven would be to re write the history of the United States, a chronicle of progression in all the essentials making for the welfare of a people, upon which the ephemeral dif ficulties inseparable from phenomenally speedy de velopment have left no lasting blemish. In the less opportunist times of our forefathers the path of progress for a rising nation was strewn with ob stacles, often insurmountable, always impeding. Each gain in prosperity, each fresh accumulation of treasure, rendered more likely an attack from some powerful and unscrupulous neighbour, ever ready to hurl its mercenary legions along the line of least resistance if tempting spoils might be gained. The birth of the American Republic, however—surely while its star was in the ascendant—took place at a period when the world had grown weary of lawless and predatory wars waged‘from motives uncharac terised by those higher ideals which are today neces sary to arouse the just wrath of nations and range them in battle array. Difficulties there have been it is true, but these have been surmounted in a manner worthy of the great traditio.is of the race from which the American people have sprung. The san guinary internecine co.inict that nearly half a centurv ago convulsed the land, fused the heterogeneous elements of the race into one single-minded, virile nation. The acrimony between North and South which had been smouldering for many years previous to the struggle has since died a natural death. North and South and East and West, it is all one. The same aims are striven for, the same ideals are held, the same work lies ready to the hand of every citizen’ and this remarkable unanimity of national aspira tions is a potent factor in the rapid progress to wards national exaltation which has attracted the gaze of the world to the Golden West. It is unfortunate that Thanksgiving Day must pass without a celebration by the members of the Ameri can colony in Dresden. Those of our readers who were present at the highly enjoyable a Tair held last year at the Hotel Bristol will remember its great success, and regret that a similar celebration was not arranged for today. We are given to under stand, however, that various circumstances have rendered it impossible to arrange a festival this time, and that many Americans residing in Dresden have gone to Berlin to participate in the celebration at the Austellungspark, at which the Ambassador, Dr. David Jayne Hill, is to preside. Thanksgiving Day this year dawns under more auspicious circum stances than its immediate predecessor. Twelve months ago the great financial and industrial panic had just passed the climax, but its ejects were still sorely felt by all classes. Disastrous possibilities cast their dark shadows across the festive tables at which the national holiday was being celebrated. Ruin was in the air, and there was a necessary touch of irony about the occasion. Twelve months of “house-cleaning” have sufficed to remove the cob webs, repair the damage, throw out the debris, and to get into working order a thoroughly renovated establishment. Prosperity has returned with the suddenness characteristic of the country, and the shaky financial props upholding the national edi :ce have been strengthened by the bitter experience of the past. The panic may have been a badly needed lesson. Certain it is that its ultimate effect will be good. Men, like nations, never attain full vigour until they have discovered their weaknesses and per manently overcome them. A policy of recklessness and lavish expenditure in America has given place to a firm movement in favour of increased internal potentiality. Flourishing without and rotten withi ; no longer describes the position of America, how ever justly the description may have been employed a short time ago. That the labour of the people H. G. B.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS. London, November 24. At the sitting of the Upper House today, Earl Cawdor expressed his satisfaction at the statement of the Prime Minister in the House of Commons yesterday. The two-Power standard, his Lordship remarked, was the only sure principle; but, if that principle is. to be carried out, England must by the end of the year 1911 build six or seven first-class battleships more than were provided for by the present programme, and as many more by the end of 1912. The Earl of Granard, on behalf of the Admiralty, raid he admitted that Great Britain would have at the end of the year 1911 eight ships of the “Dread nought” class and four of the “Invincible” type against thirteen German warships of the same types. But in saying that, he was taking no account of the programme which the Government intended to bring forward next year. THE LICENSING BILL TO BE THROWN OUT. London, November 24. At a meeting of Unionist members of the Upper House held today it was resolved by a large ma jority to vote against the second reading of the new Licensing Bill. NEWS FROM AMERICA. THE SUPPRESSED IMPERIAL INTERVIEW. The official Reichsanzdgzr prints the following: — “According to New York reports, the World pub lishes statements as to utterances made by the Em peror to an American writer, Dr. Wilfiam Hale, in the course of an audience. We are authorised to characterise these statements from beginning to end as baseless inventions.” LARGE AMERICAN STEEL ORDER. Neiv York, November 24. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad has placed contracts for 65,000 tons of steel rails with Eng lish and Belgian firms. The tenders of the American Steel Trust were too high. AUTOMOBILE MYSTERY. New York, November 24. The bodies of two men were yesterday found ter-, ribly injured lying in the roadway at Tarrytown, near New York. They had evidently been killed by a motor car. The tragedy, which is at present a mystery, had occurred just outside the gate of Mr. William Rockefeller’s residence. MR. ROCKEFELLER’S EVIDENCE. New York, November 24. The cross-examination of Mr. Rockefeller was con tinued today. In answer to questions put by coun sel, he deposed that he held shares and bonds in the Delaware, Western Maryland, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Texas Pacific, Colorado Southern, and Erie Railroads. He also owned, he said, a rail road in Mexico, the name of which had escaped his memory. THE REBELLION IN HAYTI. The first information respecting the grave state of affairs in Hayti is now fully confirmed from va rious sources of news, official and unofficial. All these reports agree that the rebellion commenced by Gen. Simon in the South is serious, and that the position of President Nord Alexis is by no means secure. For the moment the President appears to be act ing with a great show of energy, but it is doubtful if he feels able to trust the very men upon whom he must rely to take the field against the insurgents. In fact, every man prominent in Haytian public af fairs distrusts everybody but himself. There are at least three aspirants to the Presidency in succes sion to Nord Alexis, but Alexis, although old and worn, shows no burning desire to retire, despite the fact that his term legally ends within the next six months. On the whole it looks as though the Simon rising will be crushed after some sharp and bloody fight ing, and that there will be a desperate fight for the Presidency between the remaining rivals in the early spring. The course of events, says a New York report, will be carefully watched by the Washington Government, whose intervention may at any mo ment change the whole aspect of affairs. The Central News learns from the Haytian Mi nister in London that he has received no commu nication from his Government respecting the revolt in Les Cayes, in the Republic of Hayti. Dr. Diard stated that in his opinion the revolution was not a serious one, otherwise he would have had a com munication from his Government. President Nord Alexis would terminate his Presidential period in about eight months’ time, and he thought the re ported revolt was more or less merely an electioneer ing outburst. New York, November 24. A telegram from Port-au-Prince states that the revolutionary movement is extending. It is reported that the Minister of the Interior has been shot by the revolutionaries. THE VENEZUELAN PRESIDENCY. Caracas, November 25. Vice President Gomez has assumed the duties of President Castro, who is starting today for Europe, to undergo an operation by a Berlin specialist. EUROPEAN MURDERED BY CHINESE. Singapore, November 24. A serious case of murder by Chinese is reported from Penang. A British subject there, named Mac- lean, received from the Government a sum of 18,000 dollars for work performed, and some Chinese re solved to rob him. As he was driving with a Ger man friend of his, Dr. Marrack, to the baths, the two gentlemen were attacked at a lonely street- corner by a party of Chinese, who, mistaking Dr. Marrack for. Maclean, murdered the former but allowed Maclean to escape. No fewer than 170 Chi nese were arrested on suspicion, and eight of them have been found guilty and condemned to death.
