LONDON, Nov. 11.-A special

no women we're among the party.
This dispatch, which is dated Sun

tion of the former Emperor to re-
main on board the train at Eysden
throughout the night and that he

ternment in chateau between
Utrecht and Arnheim. 1t was added

a usually staid and respectable old
gentleman hung his dusty knicker-
bockers over chair at an unsarthly
hour this morning, dug q handful Of
confetti out OF tho hack of his neck,
threw the alarm clocg out OF the win
dow and, after placing the aromatic
spirits OF ammonia close by his bed
eide, raised a trembling hand to turn
out the light, murnuring dedantly:
"I'll try anything twicel"
Then Father Knickerbocker, having
celebrated the advent Of peace twice
in five days. sank into slumber with
the fading consciousness that if it
wasn't true this time he was prac-
tically done for
His city, which had greeted the
false news of the signing Of the
armistice last Thursday with trcmen
dous spontaneity, was awakened at 4
yesterday morning by the whooping of
sirens to the necessity of doing it all
over again and doing it harder this
time
Reveiry Spreads Over City
BY midnight last night even the most
captious observer would have been
forced to admit that New York had
done it. Never had such hearteniny
news come to waiting people. Never
had such mighty celebration shaken
and deafened and thrilled the greatest
city of the Western world.
At sun-up the jubilation was we'll
under way. At sundown it was still
gathering power and speed.
All night long Broadway reverber-
ated to thei crash of band music and
the tootinge of hundreds of thousands
of horns, echoed to the clatter of ex-
ploding automobile exhausts firing vol
ley after volley to the detriment of en-
gines and the ears of passers-by, trem-
bled to the footsteps of close to 1,OOO.-
600 people who surged back and forth,
screaming their exultation to the pale
stars high above electric signs that
blazed as though there had never been
such a thing as a coal shortage.
Din Increases Hourly
That was the climax of the most re-
markable day that the city probably
will ever see. The crash upon crash
of noise that swelled up from the
black river of people that flowed
through the brilliant canyon of the
White Way gave fat refutation to
those who had predicted that Thurs
days celebration would take the edge
off the city's JOY when the armistice
actually was signed.
Thursdays celebration, which hal
started splendidly. was begged down
by denals that began to pour in early
in the afternoon. Yesterdays jubla-
ton began more slowly, but picked up
speed and, fed by news that grew
more and more heartening as the day
went on, reached its climax after
nightfall and died away only through
the sheer exhaustion of the revellers.
Only "The Boys" Lacking
The whistles that reused the CITY
from dreams early yesterday morning
brought to q people who had stood up
uncomplainingly beneath the war
news as glorious as their own widest
visions.

LONDON, Nov. 11.--Dr. Solf, the

''the fearful conditions" imposed
on Germany.

the ambitions of the armistice, es-
pxlaly the surrender of transports,
means the starvation of millions, and
requests thnt the Presidents influ-

danger.

The President, he points out, has
declared that he did not wish to
make war on the German people and
did not wish to impede it's peaceful
Development.
