q dispatch was received from Versailles an-
nouncing the cessation of hostl!ties. The
announcement was made In the name Of Won
Mollke, and caused immense excitement.
This has been followed by sudden calm, and
the change in the attitude OF the two armies is
marvellous TO behold. Before, watching for
an opportunity to kill one another, they now
halt when they meet and minGle together In
groups indulging in pleasant chat. The Ger
man soldiers look forward 70 the return Of
peace with great demonstrations Of applause.
On the 3lst ult news Of the armistice was re-
ceived at Amens In short, decisive telegram.
The effect of this news upon the people was in
describable. Joy and delight was everywhere
manifested at tie prospect OF the close Of the
war; There was disposition at first to pay
no attention TO the news Of the armistice on
the part Of the army on the Soimme, but later
dispatches changed their attitude, and the Ger
mans and French embraced each other. The

the fatherland. They all want to so home.
