At NEW YORK

New York, Nov. 7.-Sophisticated
New York went stark, staring, raving
mad with Joy today over the I'M
founded report that Germany had
agreed to the armistice terms which
meant unconditional surrender. The
celebration was combination of
Fourth Of July, election night. New
Years and Thanksgiving day and
Christmas merged into one.
The delirium which seized the
city's missions at the magic word
peace was spectacular, picturesque
and ear splitting. but as the realiz
alton grew that 1t was at least pre-
mature its tragic side came to the
fore.
Not all the celebrants had joined in
the hilarious f1ag-waving, horns
blowing impromptu parades Thou
sands of fathers, mothers, wives, sis
tiers stole quietly up the steps of ev-
cry church with open doors to Offer
solemn prayer Of gratitude because
they thought fighting had ceased
Fifth avenue was literally filled
with automobiles from Central park
to Washington square, while mad
multitudes filed along the sidewalks.
But the most Impressive scene to be
found in the whole length of the
street was inside St. Patrick's cathe-
dral. In the semi-darkened nave
We're hundreds of reverent men and
women kneelinG in thanksgiving. In
hundreds Of other churches were sim
liar solemn gatherings.
While thousands went to pray 9TH
er thousands gave vent to their JOY
in more convivial surroundings. The
pail of prohibition gloom which has
shrcuded cafes and saloons was dis
PEELED and they were filled with revel-
lers. The Star Spangled Banner with
variations and without accompani
ment was in the air which foated
through the swinging doors. Hours
after the report Of an armistice had
been officially denied the city was
bedlam. 1t seemed that New Workers
were more eager to credit reports
of peace, once they had heard them
than believing the war is not yet
over.
A paper snowstorm was one Of the
picturesque but expansive features Of

Then came the shadow of fearful war.

SO it happened that the three fathers
found themselves working shoulder to

And as they worked they came to know

A CERTAIN MAN WHO
WORKED FOR The RED CROSS

But he said unto Jesus, And
who is my neiehbor?
And Jesus answering said, A
certain man went down from Jeru-
salem to Jerico and fell among
thieves, which stripped him of his
raiment and wounded him, and de.
parted, leaving him half dead.
And by chance there came down
certain priest that way: and when
he saw him he passed by on the
other side.
And likewise a Levite, when he
was at the place, came and looked
on him and passed by on the other
side.
But a certain Samaritan as he
journeyed, came where he was:
and when he saw him, he had
compassion on him,
And went to him and bound up
his wounds, pouring in oil and
wine, and set him on his own
beast and brought him to an inn
and took care of him.
And on the morrow when he de-
parted, he took out two pence and
gave them to the host, and said
unto him: And whatsoever thou
spendest more when ! come again
! will repay thee.
=, Go thou and do likewise.
