BELFAsT'S CELEBRATION. Several
residents were called from their beds
at an early hour Monday, Victory Day,
by private messages from Boston and
Portland stating that the Germans lad
signed the armistce. In many instances
both men and women wept when they
heard the joyful news. At $50 a. m. all
the whistles and church bells notified the
general public and men, women, and
children began to collect on Main street,
where bonfire was started and kept
burning as long as material could be OBJ
tanned. A large load of new barrels on
the way to business house were contis-
Gated and made lovely blaze. Flags of
the allied nations, with Old Glory lead
ing, appeared as if by magic; everything
that could whistle, including the fire en-
CINE and road roller was called into &C
ton; bells galore, big and little; tin COW
ers, pals, boilers, ETC., were utilized to
add to the racket. By 1880 many hand
somely decorated autos were out. The
Kaiser and Crown Prince had also arriv-
ed and were being towed by their necks
in the rear of cars and behind horses.
Public Safety committee, boys once
more, had charge of the celebration and
by 10 a. m. had the parade started under
the direction of Ralph H. Howes as mar
shall. By this time all business was clos
ed down for the day. In this incredibly
short time a procession over mile long
and one of the best ever seen in the city
was on it's way through all the principal
streets. The line included a squad of po-
lice, the Band, Co. F. of the Third Maine,
under charge of Capt. Orrin j. Dickey,
the Boy Scouts, all the branches Of the
Red Cross, representatives. of the seven
sections of the United War Workers, the
Sons of Veterans and representatives OF
all the allied G. A. r. bodies, the Camp
Fire Girls, Knights of Pythias, Red Men,
Odd Fellows, the manufactures with
Pierce-B Billings conducting the Kaiser
under the heels of Yank, the fire de-
partment with cartons paying their re-
spects to the Kaiser in very emphatic ex-
pressions, members of the city govern
ment, the banks, stores and business
houses and private autos. A large BAN
ner in white with the word Victory IN
red was carried betw cen two autos. Al
ter the parade disbanded Co. F. were en-
tertained at the Service Club. The streets
were crowded all the afternoon and the
noise kept up. At 1880 p. m. Victory
meeting was held in the Opera House.
