inspiring and eloquent address. Mr..

mittee campaign in Vermont and has
his headquarters in this village. He
spent a year or more in Belgium and
France as assistant to Food Director
Hoover and has been through all the
scenes in and ut the front.

THE VICTORY CELEBRATION

i Manchester was awakened from he
lethergy on Monday morning by tn
blowing of whistles and the ringini
of bells, all of which announced to tn
expectant populace that at last peac'
was in sight for it was understood
on Sunday that it was only matter
| of hours before the armistice terms OF
the Allies would be accepted by the
Germans.
Business was Immediately suspend.
ed for all day, or rather it would be
better to say that business was chang
ed from the ordinary routine of get
ting living into a blowing off of pent
up steam in the way of celebrating the
event. We think that we can say
without contradiction that Monday,
November 11th, will go down in the
history of Manchester as the noisiest,
happiest day that Manchester ever
saw.
1t was but a short time before the
word was passed along that there was
to be an automobile parade starting
from Walkers Garage at 1890 and
all who were possessed of a car i'm
mediately proceeded to get bunting and
trim up the machine. In the mean
time the schools had been given a
holiday and the teachers prepared the
children for the march. The children
from the Depot and Center schools
were brought over in autos while the
three departments of the Village
school was marshalled under their re-
spective teachers and supplied with
flags and musical instruments.
The procession arrived on time, be-
tween so and 90 machines all decor
ated with the national colors and some
with the flags of our allies, with Miss
Ruth Walker in the lead The cars
slowly filed past the soldiers monu-
ment and Equinox House and then
made the turn back TO the Court House
where they stopped and the band fav-
