 with demonstrations of the widest joy. Shortly before two o'clock Monday morning the news of the Teutonic collapse came ticking in over the Santa Fe railroad wire and if was at once communicated to a number of persons in different parts of the city. The siren at the fire station was set in operation, and the steam whistles of the Santa Fe shops took up the chorus. Several loco motives which happened to be in the local yards joined in, and for ten or fifteen minutes the din was so great that practically the entire city was awakened The meaning of the noise was at once apparent. Crowds gath cred in the streets and from various parts of the city came the rattle of six-shooters which were being fired off by happy celebrants.
 Parade Is Organized.
 During the morning hours the city authorities and a number of other public-spirited citizens organized parade for l0:30 a. m. By that hour the streets of the downtown sec ton were crowded and the majority of the places of business were clos ed
 The parade, which was led by the Prescott band, began on scheduled time and was participated in by about lCO of the soldiers from Fort Whipplc, about POO men from the Santa Fe shops. the Scouts, Victory Girls. high school cadets, and sev- c-al hundred other marchers and automobiles. Flags were flying and every noise-making apparatus that the youngsters and their elders had been able to find had been pressed into service to express the delirlous ioy of the city at the downfall of the kaiser. Several times the marchers circled the public square and tra- versed the streets of the remainder of the business section, the parade growing momentarily. It is estimat- cd that about 800 persons took part in the demonstration.
 At the conclusion or the parade, the crowd gathered about the band stand on the plaza and listened to a xnc'ng patriotic speech by Attorney F. $. Clark. The speaker cmphasiz- cd the fact that this was the hour which America had long been wait ing for-the hour that had sounded the doon, of the arrogant and wicked Germany. For many months, the sneaker said, America had been glv- ;ng or her best to help crush the powers cf darkness, and now the sacrifices of the nation had borne fruit. inc kaiser was fugitive and his tlsrone gone, proud Germany had beer hurbled in an unprecedented fashion and the Allied ,cause had tritn:phcd.
 Following the speaking, a large number of persons went to Fort Whipple to escort home the soldiers who had taken part in the cercmon- ;cs of the morning, and at the post an impromptu celebration was also Icld. in which both the soldiers and thc civilians took part.
 Mir. Clark said:
 For the first time in more than fonr years the sun of Gods provi- dence dawns upon world at peace.

Peace with all its blessings has come again to soothe the bangs and hor- TOTS of the blooNcst war of all his tory. The people of this great na- ton, blending their song of victory with that of thc mighty chorus ot the Allied countries, are in harmony with the multitude of Prescotts $ patriots in rendering devout thanks to the God of Battles for the incon- ceivable triumph of the United States and her allies. In this glor- ious hour we do not forget the dcso- lation wrought by German cruelty in France. Belgium, Servia and else where: rather ve recall the old Wal loon proverb, "Comcth the day when all shall pay" and we cannot reprcss righteous exul,ation as we reflect that today Germany commences to pay. May she pay to the last full measure for the awful atrocities she
