Soldiers Do Work
For Civilians Who
Are Celebrating

HEMPSTEAD, Long Island, Nov. IL
In camp and town and countryside
Long Island flung its cap into the air
to-day asd cheered for Germany's sur
render. But there was sharp demar
cation between the military and the
civilian celebrations. Civilians flung
aside their sponsibilities with their
caps Soldiers picked up the respon-
sibiltes.
At Camp Mills, for example, 1000
carpenters employed by the Clough
Bourne Company on the construction
Of winter barracks and other struc
lures, threw down their saws and ham
mers at o'clock when the news
reached camp. Their wages, in some
cases $12 q day. were Of no account iii
the face OF that news. 1t drove from
their minds all thought Of the return
ing hosts who might need those very
winter barracks.
Wanted Holiday
They told Colonel c. H. Smith, camp
quartermaster, that they were going
to hop into their Fords and go cele-
brate. They would be back tomorrow,
they vowed each bringing an extra
carpenter SO that two days work would
be done in compensation for their cele-
bration. No arguments availed to stop
them and off they went.
Then 1000 soldiers, carpenters before
they put Oh the olive drab, volunteered
to go on with the work and did so,
hamnering and saving with q vim
while their companions, off duty, were
doing snake dances or attending the
boxing matches and other entertain
ments that had been arranged as soon
as the news was known. The faithful
1000 probably will be rewarded by
getting the first twenty -four-hour
passes issued after the quarantine is
lifted.
At Camp Upton. where the troops
were similarly retained under quaran-
tine, there We're games, bouts, drills and
entertainments at the camp theatres
and motion picture houses. The avia-
tion fields at Camp Mills were busy
places throughout the morning, as it
was decided early to give New York the
biggest aeroplane parade ever seen.
The parade had to be postponed for
few days, however, because it was
impossible to get all the planes in
shape on such short notice.
Upton was hilarious all day with inn
ppromptu parades and mushroom bands.
This evening there was final carnival
III which the kaiser's coffin figured
prominently. At Garden City the en-
ployes OF the Doubleday Page and Cur
tiss plants paraded in thousands, the
men carrying girls on their shoulders
and snatchlng up to similar perches

Fifth Avenue Deluged for
Miles by Human Flood
Throughout Day

Fifth Avenue saw the widest spec
tacls of it's history yesterday. Of
ficially, it was victory parade of the
city officials, led by Mayor Hylan.
Practically, it was thiFty or forty pa
rades, led by Mr.. Average Citizen,
with red. white and blue horn at
his lips, feather duster in his coat,
and a hat band which faunted the
words: T'rn going to the Kaiser's fu-
neral"
Sometimes the Mayors parade had
the right Of way, but most Of the
time the various parades swirled and
eddied and smashed headlong into one
another. breaking up into new groups
that turned on themselves, following
new leaders as the reckless god of
hilarity beckoned.
The Mayors parade was supposed
to start from the City Hall, but owing
to the crowds which swarned through
the park it was impossible to form
there, and the order was finally given
to form at Canal and Lafayette Streets.
Mrs. Hylan in Parade
Mrs. Hylan marched beside her hus-
band and both nodded and smiled SIS
the crowds surged about them, shower
ing Mrs. Hylan with confetti and blow
ing their horns unabashed in the
Mayors ears. Behind them marched
three police lieutenants carrying an
American flag. All hats came off in
its presence. At first Mayor Hylan
seemed to take this demonstration to
himself and his silk lid was dof'ed
again and again in reply, but eventu-
ally someone reminded him of the
presence of the flag and he strode
along without further demonstration.

to Fourth Street, to Fifth Avenue, to
Forty second Street, to Broadway, to
Columbus Circle. At the Circle Mayor
and Mrs. Hylan, Grover Whalen, the
Mayors secretary, and his bodyguard,
Police Lieutenant William Kennel,
stepped into an automobile and re-
viewed the rest of the parade.
Girls Wear Soldiers Coats
Like an avalanche, which moves
slowly over the country, gathering
up every small object which lies along
its pathway, SO the central parade Of
the afternoon picked up a conglom-
crate Of men and women of all ma
tions and all moods. French sailors,
swinging along arm-in-arm with girls
with red, white and blue paper caps.

New-York tribune., 1918-11-12

From carly morning until long after
midnight City Hall Park served as
port Of mobilization for the forces OF
patriotism. Night workers, called from
their tasks by the blasts of sirens in
and about the harbor, hurried toward
Park Row, and, hearing the news,
forgot to go home.
Day workers, reaching the downtown
district on their way to Offices and
stores in lower Manhattan, Joined them
and decided to call it holiday. Thou
sands of flags, horns, bells and noise
makers of every variety were brought
forth from mysterious places and put
into immediate service. Such paper as
hadn't been dropped from the tops Of
skyscrapers in celebration Of the false
reports of an armistice Thursday was
torn into small bits and rained down
upon the heads of pedestrians.
By the time Mayor Hyland's machine
drew up shortly before o'clock more
than 5000 cheering and flag waiving
men and women were gathered there.
Nobody had any suggestion for pro-
)
satisfied to permit the demonstration
to take It's course.
"Let's hear from the Mayor" some
body cried, as Mayor Hylan mounted
the steps.
Of Course Mayor Talked
Mr.. Hyland smiled, refused, started
on, then thought better of his refusal
and turned about and faced the crowd.
81 am delighted to sec you all so
happy this morning" he said. "The
news this time no doubt is correct and
the Kaiser has surrendered. The war
is over and President Wilson will be
hailed throughout the world as the
great liberator.
81 know you are still looking forward
to the time when the boys will be
coming home. We all will be glad to
give them hearty welcome and cheer
them as they join their families and
loved ones"
Immediately on entering his Office
the mayor annonced that employees Of
all city departm ents might call it a
holiday and celebrate victory as they
saw fit
Brokers from Wall Street, evidently

came part of it, some of them be-

Through the operations of this board

that If these reductions are accom-

serious disturbances.
On the other hand. it is feared that
unless care is taken to reduce the cost
of the workers living at the same time

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-In the

Mrs. Wilson seated beside him. drove
down Pennsylvania Avenue through
throngs of shouting merrymakers.
When the President was returning
UP Pennsylvania Avenue to the White

closed.
Business was suspended throughout
the Middle West. In Chicago Mayor
Thompson refused to close the saloons.
In Milwaukee an official proclamation
announced a holiday, and asked citi-
zens to offer prayers of thanks for the
return of peace. Airplanes from Scott

City's Policen,en,
10000 Strong, Keep
Joy in Bounds
Night Force Held on Duty
and All days OFF"
Are Cancelled

New York City's entire police force
and the police reserves were put on
the job yesterday to guard the millions
of peace celebrants and to keep their
wild exuberance of spirits as nearly as
possible within bounds.
Early in the morning Chief Inspector
DAILY sent out an order which in effect
placed the city's 10000 policemen and
several hundred police reserves on ac-
tive duty or in reserve.
He ordered all district inspectors TO
call in the police reserves, hold on
duty the night detail of about $500
patrolmen, who were to have gone
home at 8 O'Clock, and to summon all
other patrolmen to their respective
precinct stations. His order included
the cancelling of all days off," which
brought into service about 500 men
not supposed to be on duty yesterday.
Police Get "Cat Naps''
Men who had been on duty the pre-
ceding night were held in reserve at
the station, where they were allowed
to snatch "cat maps" when not needed.
Scores of patrolmen augmented the
traffic squads, which had orders to re-
main at their posts until the traffic
crush was over.
More recklessness was shown during
the first paroxysm of JOY early in the
morning than during last Thursdays
celebration, several persons giving
vent to their feelings by discharging
loaded revolvers from windows, house
tops and automobiles, killing one per-
son and wounding five others.
Charles V. Velanda, fifty, Of S33 East
Sixty-third Street, was killed instantly
while riding in an automobile in East

brating the victory, when bullet fired

and was taken to ST. Vincent's Hospital.
Samuel Umper, eighteen, of 327 East
