(Note: This section is included in all except the New York prints.) San Benito, Tex: National Guardsmen on duty on the Mexican Border eat their Thanksgiving dinner outdoors. The dinner consists of wild duck brought down by the Guardsmen's guns and prepared by the camp cooks. New York: Public Schools of New York keep the pupils outdoors during study and recitation hours. Outdoor exercises improve the physical condition of the children and make them more capable at their studies. On the Somme Front: A dummy gun made of wood is erected in a conspicuous place by French troops to deceive hostile aviators. A battery of 1.55 mm. guns clear a path for an infantry attack. New York: The old horse cars that ply the streets of New York are soon to give way to the modern electric equipment. Pictures show the last of the antiquated vehicles travelling about the city piloted by veteran streetcar drivers. Fashions De Luxe: The latest gowns and hats designed by Lady Duff-Gordon (Lucile) are displayed to best advantage on the screen. Philadelphia, Pa: Sailors of the interned German liners held up in this port are constructing a village of small houses, which they will occupy during the winter. German atmosphere pervades the village, and German ideas are carried out in the construction of the church, the old wind-mill and the residences. Washington, D.C: Aided by a large company of Boy Scouts, Edward B. McLean gives away more than 400 turkeys to the poor families of the national capital. Frederiksted, St. Croix: Negro laborers of the West Indies celebrate Liberty Day, the anniversary of their release from slavery, with a monster parade. D. Hamilton Jackson, leader of the West Indian toilers, who recently procured for them an advance in wages which makes a day's work worth 35 cents, addresses the cheering negroes. The Danish flag, which will be replaced by the Stars and Stripes if the United States purchases the West Indies, flies conspicuously during the festivities. New York: President and Mrs. Wilson arrive in New York and proceed aboard the yacht "Mayflower" down the Hudson River, where President Wilson gives the signal for the illumination of the Statute of Liberty. Battleships in the river fire the President's salute of twenty-one guns. Miss Ruth Law's aeroplane is a streak of flame in the sky as she circles the statue just before the President's signal and the emblem of Freedom in New York Harbor flies in the flood of electric light.
