HUN SURRENDER
RECEIVED WITH JOY
Willmar lndulged in Two Cele-
bration-The Genuine with
Increased 'Pep."

When the report came over the
wires last Thursday forenoon that
truce had been signed and that the
war was over there was suppressed
excitement to be seen in the eye of
those who received the news. Many
were inclined to discredit the report
at first, but when an hour later the
siren at the city plant and the scores
Of whistles in the railroad yards
started to blow, everyone believed that
a confirmation of the report had been
received and their enthusiasm became
intense. Especially was joy supreme
among the women, and "Old Glory"
was soon seen waving at many homes.
Many folks with sons and brothers
"over there" fairly danced with glad
ness. The church bells pealed the
glad tidings and the noise from the
many whistles was heard as far as to
New London.
The fine spirits were dampened
later in the afternoon, however, when
it was learned that the report was a
false one. Yet everyone seemed to
feel that the end was but question

The celebration began in the early
morning and there was no sleep after
five o'clock. Celebration continued
thruout the day. The afternoon was
proclaimed as a holiday by the city
mayor, after the exercises at the
court house park for the boys who
were supposed to leave. All the
banks, stores and shops closed up for
the day. Fronts were decorated with
the national colors. The band came
out mad the Home Guards marched
and fired salutes. The new fire truck
raced back and forth with it's gong
agoing. The anvils were brought out
but only quarter pound Of powder
was to be found in town so little
cannon music was possible.
In the evening the crowds became
even more enthusiastic. At eight
o'clock the parade formed again out
side of the City hall, headed by the
fire truck and the Home Guards, and
the celebration lasted far into the
night.

No Services Sunday.

After consultation with the Health
Officer today pastors Of the city con-
cluded that they would not attempt
to hold services next Sunday although
it was not positively forbidden under
certain restrictions. The situation Is
very much improved in the city, but
crowding inside of doors is still dan
gerous. The Seminary and Business
College were permitted to open Mon
day, but under conditions where there
is no crowding.
It is not likely that the public
schools will open as yet.
