Americans March Through
Verdun In Peace Celebration
sp A ssocrated Press.

VERDUN, Monday, Nov. liz
Verdun came into its own tonight.
While the bells of the ancient cathe-
dral were ringing the news of peace,
the fortress city was illuminated by
a procession headed by the drum
corps of the Twenty-sixth American
division which swung along the
crowded streets accompanied by
detachment of French buglers repre-
senting the famed defenders of Yer
dun.
Only a few hours before the Ger
mans had thrown large shells within
the city walls apparently as re-
minder that Verdun was still within
the range of their guns on the hills
to the northeast.
T Monday afternoon and night vir-
tually was the first time that Verdun
had not been shelled in that many
hours almost since the war began.
A large American flag was carried
by the men of the New England divi-
sion while the French buglers bore
the tri-colors of France. The soldiers
were Joined by q few civilians who
had struggled back into Verdun since
the German repulse on the north.
The procession wound its way
through the streets lighted by flares
and vari-colored signal lights sent off
by infantrymen. The entire city was
in a great blaze OF glory and the Mu-
mination was visible for many miles
around, even to the Germans going
homeward in the east. Behind the
buglers marched a shouting, singing
and dancing column of French,
American, Senegalese and Algerian
soldiers and civilian celebrants. keep
ing time with the drum beats and
shouting ''The war is over! Vive la
France. Vive L'Ameriquei"
The marchers marched until they
were tired. the bell ringers rang the
chimes until they were exhausted
and the flares burned themselves out,
and late tonight the American ana
French soldiers and the handful of
faithful civilians in Verdun went to
bed-in peace.

QueStiOnndireS Must be Filed

Two very different emotions filled
the breasts of seventy-three local
boys yesterday. They were the con-
tingent who were to have left for
Camp Dix but who were notified of
the cancellation OF the order at the
last moment.
Some expressed great Joy and their
celebration of the signing of the ar
mistice took on personal note.
Others. however, were plainly disap-
pointed at the turn of fate that
stopped them just as they were about
to leave for the cantonment.
Late yesterday afternoon Mayor
TenBroeck received the following tell
egram from Adjutant General Gilky-
sons office: Pending further orders
from this Office you will discontinue
inductiolsst OF any men on any calls"
