ONRUSHING REDS SLAY 15,000
MORE NAZIS, CAPTURE 12,000
Hun Army of More Than
Quarter-Million in Peril
MOSCOW Wednesday, Nov. 25-(AP)-The three-months-old Nazi grip on Stalingrad
was weakened Wednesday as a swiftly advancing Red Army killed 15000 more Germans
and captured 12,000 including three divisional generals in a great winter offensive
rolling so fast that some Nazi units were cut down from behind in a panicky retreat. Russian announcements raised the toll of Nazis to 77,000 dead and captured not
acountmg huge numbers of wounded who apparently are freezing to death on the frozen
steppes as did other German units last winter in the rout from Moscow
(Reuters Moscow respondent estimated that 120,000 Germans had been wounded in
the last few days
Based on the usual formula of three wounded for each of the 41,000 Germans reported killed.)
The Red Army's effort to encircle the entire Nazi army stalemated before Stalingrad
estimated at 300,000, clearly was gaining in power.

Thanksgiving Day
Proclamation
Text of President Roosevelt's proclamation asking that
Thanksgiving and New Year's days be observed as days of
prayer.
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation.
"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord." Across
the uncertain ways of space and time our hearts echo those
words, for the days are with us again when, at the gathering of
the harvest, we solemnly express our dependence upon Almighty
God.
The final months of this year, now almost spent, find our
republic and the nations joined with it waging a battle on many
fronts for the preservation of liberty.
In giving thanks for the greatest harvest in the history of
our nation, we who plant and reap can well resolve that in the
year to come we will do all in our power to pass that milestone;
for by our labors in the fields we can share some part of the sacrifice
with our brothers and sons who wear the uniform of the
United States.
It is fitting that we recall now the reverent words of George
Washington,
"Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt
keep the United States in Thy holy protection," and after that every
American in his own way lift his voice to heaven.
I recommend that all of us bear in mind this great psalm:
"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth
me beicde the still waters.
"Ho restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
"Yea, thhough I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy
staff they comfort me.
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."
Inspired with faith and courage by these words, let us turn
again to the work that confronts us In this time of national
emergency: in the armed services and the merchant marine; in
factories and offices, on farms and in the mines, on highways,
railways and airways, in other places of public service to the
nation; and in our homes.
Now, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the
United States of America, do hereby invite the attention of the
people to the joint resolution of congress approved December 28,
1941, which designates the fourth Thursday In November of each
year as Thanksgiving day; and I request that both Thanksgiving
day, November 26, 1942, and New Year's day, January 1, 1943, be
observed in prayer, publicly and privately.
It witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this eleventh day of November
in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-two, and
of the independence of the United States of America the one
hundred and sixty-seventh.
(Seal)
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
By the president-
Cordell Hull, secretary of state.
