London, Nov. 13 Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-A German
band at prison hospital near Lon
don played the Star Spangled Ban
ner and several hundred wounded
German soldiers sang it as if they en-
jcyed it in celebration of the signing
of the armistice. The music was in
honor Of a parade Of American
wounded qrartered in hospital near
the prison hospital.
If the sentiment of these prisoners
may be taken as criterion the Ger
man people will harbor no old scores
against Americans for helping TO de-
liver the final blow Of the war. They
entered heartily into the armistice
celebration and were glad the war had
ended.
Soon after news of the signing of
the 'armistice was received at the big
American hospital at Dartford it was
sent over to the Germans, who's pris-
on hospital joins the American es-
tablishment.
On the following day every Amer
lean able to walk was mustered into
a parade the route Of which took
them through the prison grounds. AS
the vanguard entered the German
band-Germans always manage to
scvape up a hand wherever large
number Of them are quartered-be-
