BLACK "i'ifjlitt El iititlt (tlla, tltyi:rittt,, STOP AT Awful Was! ot FUE The Thursday ebuliition of patriotic rejoicing was a kind of rehearsal for the real thing uhich came on Monday. Dur- ing Friday, Saturday and Sunday feelings were at high tension as the German dele- gates were being conducted before Mar- shall Foch. Did ever such humiliation fall upon a proud and arrogant people ? Not only did they come, hat in hand, un- der a white tlag, to beg an armstice---they were blind folded and taken to Marshall Foch, who received them in a railway earl! and sent them blindfolded back again to their waiting escorts, after he had presented he little story, and got their acquiescence to hic plans ! The great deed of signing was done about midnight (our time) Mon morn. ing Then the wires got hot. ashing- ton got the news first, and before daylight all niaces within reach of a wire were drinking in the good news, which were all correct this time. . A cablegram frprn France to America, either false or misunder:st.tari, was the cause of the premature rejoxcmgs. Some time after 4 a m , T. G. Lauder was roused from sleep by his telephone ringing. Who should be seeking him but our old townsman John Towner of Strat- ford. telling him the good news. In short order Lauder was astir and spread the news '. factory wNstles, church bells, school bells, brought everyone to waking and waiting expectation and there was joy undiluted for breakfast that morning Other telegrams came, Mayor Laidlaw received an official one and as the certain- ty worked into the consciousness of the citizens, there was a squaring away for action. The High and Public School Boards promptly authorized a holiday. AMayoral proclamation proclaimed an afternoon holiday, soon plain motor cars were transformed into moving symbols of patriotism and "all went merry as a mar- riage bell " Factory whistles blew, bells rang, and citizens of all shades were congratulating themselves that the war was ended. As evening approached drug stores got out theirstorett away tirecrackers, flags and tavors began to make their appearance, and though a muddy night some hund- reds of speclatori were on the streets and witnessed the burr ing of the Kaiser and a bonhre. '1 he Durham Baud livesied the evening with snappy musrc. and be- sides a procession of it) or 80 youths, maidens and children took shape and with whistles. hcras and other noisy ton- traptions marched and sang in two's up and down the sidewalks, while the sta- tionary crowd waited around and endured the racket till the evening papers came in stating the news ”unotlicial " All the same everyone felt, they had a gcod time, it was coming anyway, and we were not the only ones that were "hoaxed." Be- sides there was plenty to cheer for in re- cent allied victories, so no one felt bad. In the midst of the hilarity there was visible everywhere a thankful note, which led to the calling in the evening of a union service of thanksgiving in the Presbyter- ian church, which has the largest auditor- itum in town. Large numbers came in from the sur-l rounding country, and the streets had a, fair day aspect as far as numbers were concerned, but, oh !my ! how different otherwise ! The smile, the handshake, the exultation. the enthusiasm all betokened great things. Plincipals Allan and Mor. ton marshalled their respective schools and headed by the manly Cadets they made an imposing array. They marched from the school grounds to the hotel cor- ner. went down town and up town and around town, the while waving flags, blowing horns or singing schoo. songs. A number of autos hedecked and loaded to the limit, followed the Mayor with tive or six returned soldiers in his car Smith's, of the Garage, had thtir truck out, and on it the old tannery bell had much to say. Another had improvised a collection of "old wash boilers, tin pans, &c, fastened 1 them together and attached them to the _ rig, drove rapidly through the streets, and l sure there was noise enough. Thursday last, Nov, 7th, a teiegram reached town that the enemy had accept- ed the anied lums, that Signatures had been attixed at 11 a. m. and nghung was to Slop at " p. m it looked all tight, Toronto and ad Canada were rejoicing, so were New York and Washington so"lel joy be unconfmed." Durham Enthusiastically Celebrated Close of War 1nto secure The school children's procession ended at the public school grounds. and there maseed together were addressed by Mayor Laidlaw and Dr Jamieson makin to them a day long to be remembered. gl‘he band deserve great credit tor their contributions. to the day's enjoyment. The lack of organization was noticeable in that there was no adult processsion. It would have done the crowd, that lined the sidewalks and admired the children'e en- thusiasm. much good, if they had flung off reserve and marched along with them. If they were waiting for the town council to lead them, they waited in vain. The lesson from this unfortunate piece of apathy is that if other big occasions are expected. there should be previous plan- mng Premature Rejoicing Thursday The Pre.sbytero.n Church was filled in the evening, and a most appropriate thanksgivlng service was thoroughly en. joyed. It was a pleasing, intense teeling. as one realized that the hundreds of fellow. worshippers were actuated by one strong feeling of thanktulnee to the Divine be-' The Real Thing This Time THE THANKSGIVING THE AFTERNOON DURHAM, THURSDAY.

Dr. Jamieson referred to the new legir lation taking from Doakbohors and othe such immigrants in future the privilege of military exemption, a privilege that has caused much exasperation in this war. The entrance to the post office has been changed by moving the door out to the street with an entrance way inside, the office being separated by swinging doors.

He fortun- ately fell in a dry spot, and lay wounded from 5 a m to 5 p. m. His wounds were twice dressed, once by a German prisoner and he was earned direct to hospital in- stead of cleaning station, thus the report "wounded and missing" was published, and fr ends here we e some weeks in anx- iety.
