and he delivered a message to the
 mothers and fathers of the district from the men at the front. He praised
 the patriotic spirit of the residents
 of the Warren district, and spoke il | glowing terms of the manner in which
 this district is celebrating the signing
 Of the peace armistice. His auditors
 cheered him constantly and roundly
 and he received one of the most spon
 taneous welcomes ever accorded
 a speaker in the Warren district
 Throughout the district the celebra tion continued after noon. Small
 crowds here and there gathered and cheered. The national colors and
 bunting in red, white and blue were flung from every car and from every
 "InuVw and DuiiuIng. In the crowds
 were to be distinguished the national coIors of every aILed nation and those
 of several nations not in the war. On the platform was the flag of Servla,
 the nation which opened the war, and
 the flag of the UnIted States, the na- ton which assisted in the closing of the war.
 At o'clock in the afternoon Dr. ! CnIIord appeared again at the City
 park plaza in another celebration
 which had been arranged by the com merclal cub. He spoke this time of
 what must be done to assist the army during the next two years. His ad- dress was interspersed with little tales of the trenches, of how the American
 boys are showing a spirit which is the envy of the world. of how he has found the men of the United States the best and manifest men in the world. He urged heavy subscription to the united war work campaign, because, as he said, the boys will need the assist ance of the home folks now more than ever in the past"

 During the morning the prisoners in the city jail were released and told to go have a good time assisting in the celebration. Advices from Doug las told of a similar treatment accord ed the prisoners in that city's jail. They joined in the impromptu parades which formed as soon as the news of the signing of the armistice had spread.
 Street car traffic throughout the day was an uncertain quantity. Cars en route to and from Warren during the early hours of the morning were held up from half an hour to an hour. Hundreds of persons in automobiles and thousands on foot, marching down and up the roads between Bisbee and Lowell made it impossible for the cars to run. The motormen and conductors and the crowds which congested the cars climbed out of the cars and lined up to cheer the men and women marching. Many of the passengers on the cars joined in the parade, leaving the stalled cars for a later completion of the trip.
 Several characteristic make-ups ap- peared on the streets within a short time after the formation of the first parade. One man made up as Uncle i Sam paraded through the crowds. | Later q number of men with one dress ! ed as a pastor and others bearing a coffin, carried the body of the kaiser to its grave. Girls and boys, their heads decorated with the national col DTS and their clothes hung with bunt- Ing. circulated through the crowds, | blowing horns and cheering.
 The celebration was spontaneous. After the first of parades had been in iuguTated the commercial club took he reins of the celebration in hand. They made an effort to organize a :onserted celebration which would be representative of the district More han 40O0 of persons stood in front of he Phelps Dodge store at the opening ,f the celebration and this audience lad been swelled by one to two thou ands more before it closed.

Never in the History of the district has there been o spontaneous and tremendous a cele- 'ration.
