Hub Hooper, Ger- many, to The Editor: In his letter of May 11, our veteran overseas correspondent Hub Hooper, tells 0f somne of the reactions of the Canadians wheriA the final German surrender took place. He also encloses a copy of the army paper, Maple Leaf. Its front page had only the one word "KAPUT" in taîl letters as in- troduction to inside columns tell- ing details of the end with pic- tures showing actual signing of the documents. As Hub says, there were no great celebrations at the front, just a serious acceptance of the end of a job that stili had many comnplexities. Mostly the fellows accepted the news with a hand- shake and a grin as they carried on their duties.
