AID St. Transformation
Interesting Development

The southeast corner Of Forty second
street and Fifth avenue, once the home
of the Columbia Bank, Is now the site
Of the Astor Trust Building. a beautiful
twenty story structure.
On the northwest corner Is the Bristol
Building. This, too, is under lease to
, changed tho lower part and recon-
structed tho interior for offices. Show
fronts have been installed on the street
: lsvels. The building Is eight stories,
and although 1t still retains some OF its
orig1nal lines II lacks the aristocratic
look which II once possessed. The
cAange0 wrought hero are noticeable
particularly because of the removal of q
striking landmark. The hotel in its
early days had an areaway about fifteen
fest wide on the Fifth avenue and the
, Forty second street frontages. The
curious crowd which peered into the
splendid dining room through advan-
taseous openings Is now invited to come
closer and inspect the tradesmen's stock.
The transformation of the Hotel Bris-
toll took place in 1902, at a time when
the subway was being constructed by the
open cut method. and when the New
: York Public Library was being erected
Tho condition of the street was ono OF
: chaos, and the snoring work on the
hotel which was necessary to recon
struct the FIRST two stories. was consid-
cred one of the greatest feats of the
time. The danger OF collapse was ever
present. being aggravated by the exca-
vations in the street and the blasting
made necessary by the progress OF work

great ENHANCEMENT has grown the busi-

Yet, strange to relate, progress which
brought this street to the highest point
{ Of development has also placed q tenn
porary check upon 1t. The discontinue
ance of the subway service under this

greatly reducing the pedestrian traffic
and consequently the opportunities OF

been recognized by realty owners and

Paris Announcement.

At 1885 o'clock in Paris it was off,
cially announced that four German
officers bearing white flag probably
would arrive at Marshal Foch's head
quarters some time last night. That
announcement was one hour and
thirty-five minutes after the hour re-
ported as the end Of the fighting filed
Associated Press" dispatches filed
with the merican Army on the Sedan
front at $50 o'clock last night showed
that an hour and half after the
German commissioners had been ex-
pected the troops still were fighting
their way forward. This dispatch said
clearly that the merican Army was
consolidating its positions and pre-
pairing for a further advance.
When 1t was $3.50 o'clock last night
in London the foreign office pro-
nounced unfounded the rumor that
the armistice had been signed and at
that hour no word had been received
in the British capital that the German
delegation had crossed the French
lines.

In Charles City, Iowa, one concern
offered a prize OF SIS to the person
producing the most effective noise
Three persons were shot, none
fatally, during the peace" demon
stration in Topeka, Kan. Excited
citizens paraded the streets until a
late hour. firing shotguns and re-
volvers.
A peace" celebration held in Salt

carried by the Associated Press.
But for the prompt denial by the
Associated Press of a report that an

Ariz., district, employing several thou
sand men, would have been closed
down for a days celebration.
The peace" celebration was quoted
at Twin Falls, Idaho, when Mrs. Amos
A. Wright aged fifty, was killed
while joining in the hilarities. A por-
ton Of the streets had been roped
off for the dancers and paraders,
when an automobile crashed into the
taut rope and broke it. In the recoil
the swapping rope hit Mrs. Wright
and threw her against another auto
mobile. Her skull was fractured and
she died within fifteen minutes.

$17O. SOC. 900 with which to continue
their work among the American SOL
diers and sailors are showing a won
derful development Of service, accord
ing to Mrs. James S. Cushman, chair
man Of the war work council OF the
Y. W. c. A, who is in Washington
in the interest of the coming drive.
tThe Y. w. c. A, which I repre-
sent" Mrs. Cushman said, sis, the
only one Of the seven organizations
working directly for women. and that
our efforts for the French women are
appreciated is shown by the nu-
merous ways in which the French
people honor us. They were quick
to sense the true values of our as
sociation's efforts to serve and be
useful to the French women, ana the
honor bestowed upon me, as repre-
sentative of the Y. w. c. A, on MOTH
ers' day in France proved this. I was
asked to be present and speak as
the representative Of the Y. w. c. a.
and American women at the great
meeting in Paris on that day. over
which Gen. Joffre presided. Gen.

Effect on the Stock Market.

The New York Stock Exchange. as
well as the curb market. was closed
at 2:30 p.m., after a hurried meeting
of the governors. A market which at
first appeared to be unresponsive sud
denly developed activity, which shot
up some Of the so-called peace stocks
from two to twelve points. Exchanges
in other cities were similarly affected.
To grasp the situation it should be
borne in mind that Paris, being to the
east of the United States, is about
six hours ahead of New York time.
Although it had been announced that
the armistice was signed at II o'clock
and that fighting had ceased at 2
o'clock, 1t was a fact that the German
commissioners were not to be received
by Marshal Foch until o'clock, three
hours after the hour reported as the
end of the fighting.
The State Departments cable of in
quiry to France was not dispatched
until after the report had been called
to the departments attention, and
when reply came saying the armis-
tice had not been signed and the
fighting had not ceased. more time
had elapsed
