 ] The American victory in France in- cited an innpromptu celebration in Westerly that for real enthusiasm could not be excel,ed and which was participated in by practically all the 1 towhspeople. While the news of the victory was received in the early even ing, the real celebration did not begin !. until after midnight, when the. great l majority were asleep. but they were 1 awakened in short order. The cele-
 bration started with the ding ding of the fire alarm. and soon every factory
 and shop whistle and the church bells
 joined in. The fire apparatus of both sides of the rlver rushed through the ! streets with sirens sounding and bells
 ringing, and before this ended the
 horns of a hundred or more automo- : piles were footed in all sections of the l town. All the noise possible was made Q by the autos as they went through the f streets with cutout wide open and
 filled with shouting parties Then the l Westerly band commenced to play in t Dixon square, C company of the Con-
 necticut State guard came across the river. Soon a procession was formed . of men and women old and young. and l there was a march through the busi- t ness cented.
 Later large motor truck was se- a | cured for the bandsmen a line of au- = tomobiles was formed and away sped
 the party to Watch Hill, carrying the n battle news flom the front In a :, short time the hill was alive and the automobile line heightened. When z !. return was made the noisy demor~.---
 tion continued until daylight did ap- ., pear. It was one of Westerlys big
 gest nights.
 Bonfires were started in several sec.
 tions Of the town, automobiles TUT a with tin cans attached and the noise O. o the trailing tins over the street sur. " face added to the pandemonium. Tn, l. big crowd remained out until tiret n out.
