LONG STRAIN BROKEN

LUNG STRAIN BROkEN For four long years these woshon pS sLcs,dop had horneS the bnrden as T war and knew the horror of is in
 a way that God has spared us in
 America. There was not one among
 them who had not lost n husband, n son, n brother or sweetheart, buried somewhere in France. For
 four years they had carried on. as
 the British say. but when the end
 came at last md the victory was achieved they broke.
 For days the nations nerves had been taut while the armistice hung fire. and the tension was tremendous. Saturday and Sunday from all prov inces people poured into London until standing room was almost at pre- mium. Thousands were unable ito find beds or to get into hotels or boarding houses. Thousands camped all night on the he--Thames embankment and waited, waited for the hour to strike, and when it struck London, for tne first time in it's history, gave con- pletely away to emotion.
 Girls of high degree and girls Of
 low degree joined like sisters. All
 class distinctions were. swept aside
 in the joyous flood. Women flung
 their arms unrestrainedly about {. the necks of any man who wore
 khaki and it made no difference
 whether he was an officer or
 private.

 The city literally blazed with flags. The British union, of course, pre- dominated. but up and down the Strand were hundreds of American flags, and hundreds of American soldiers, and American civilians joined in the Dis celebration, waving the star-spangleA banner and shouting madly with the Britons. e
 KEPT UP ALL DAY
 Everybody loved everybody else.
 Wherever you looked you got an
 answering laugh and whole
 hearted response, and the crushing
 mass of humanity on the streets
 and in the hotels were for the time
 being all brothers and sisters. It
 made no difference whether you
 were English, American, French or
 Italian It may be diffirent tomor-

The night was cold and the mtd |. that yet marks the roads, notwith- standing there have been two or three days without rain, was slightly frozen. The men shivercd
 as they rested by the roadside.
 When the command finally was
 given for the advance, the elc-

 that appear always to shroud this
 part of the county and disap-
 penrcd.
 For the first time since the : Americans had been ordered to ad-
 vance into enemy-heid territory,
 there was assurance that they
 would encounter no hostility. The
 intelligence department, which has
 never ceased 70 function, had ac-
 curately reported that the Ger
 mans were carrying out their
 agreement of evacuation and there
 was evident the belief both by of
 fIcers and men that no trap was awaiting them.

 RUSHED FROM HOTELS
 It was wonderful to see when at

 rushed like mad out of the hotels.
 Clerks, ianitors and shopkeepers
 dashed out of shops. Women in the

 anything just threw it in the air
 and leaped for the street.
 There they joined the singing and shooting throngs that surged up and down the streets. All business was suspended. including all public busi ness, and London gave itself up whole heartedly and unrestrainedfy to re- joicing. The most wonderful part of it all was the women. Thousands upon thousands of them crowded the streets and poured into the Strand like tor rent They captured and communicated tram cars, taNis. vehicles of all de- scriptions, upon which they piled i'll unbelievable numbers.
