ciated Press. )-Peace descended like a
mantle over the battle front at II

big gun crashed Its challenge and a
great o~verpowering quiet replaced tur-
MOL, death and destruction,
Almost coincident with the signing
of the armistice by the desperate en-
envy, the city of Mons capitulated be
fore relentless British pressure. ON
this hallowed ground the troops now
are resting on their arms, happy in the
thought Of the fitness of their final
triumph. They had driven the enemy
out by the same gateway through
which Field Marshal Won Buelow and
Field Marshal Won kluck hurled their
great armies against the valiant little
force of "contemptibles" in 1914.
The population of Mons today
paraded the streets, cheering madly
their deliveries. Their glad cries must
have reached the ears of the Germans
outside the walls of the town,
Principally at II o'clock the firing
ceased. Fleets of British airplanes
dropped showers of signal lights which
descended with the mOmentous mes
sage to those below.
