ga great day in the history of the
world was Saturday." says the Morn
ing News. "The Allied armies unop-
posed, in accordance with the terms of
the armistice, began their forward
march into Germany and into the
parts of Belgium that were occupied
by the Germans when the armistice
was signed. 1t is a rapid but orderly
march of this victorious army of lib
Grafton. And in this forward move
ment the honor of leading the first big
unit of the Allied army of occupation
has fallen to the Americans. Thus, in
the course of a short time, the Allied
armies will be in peaceful possession
of the territory that the Germans
must evacuate.

Smyrna is "over the top" again.
This time she came up magnifcently
with the United War Work Campaign
with a contribution of $4,000. Del
aware too, is over the top and there is
great cause for rejoicing, fof the cam
paign successfully across, credit is
due director ]. E. HOffecker and his
corps of workers deserve all credit.
Mr.. Hoffecker spent days and nights
figuring and planning the campaign
and engineered it successfully thru.
Smyrna, "over the top" in its Liberty
Loan, War Savings Stamps, Red
Cross, over subscribes its quota again
thus proving the lengthy and patrio-
tism every citizen has, no matter
what the campaign, Smyrna is always
to the front. No doubt Smyrna will
iadd its welcome greeting with heart
felt enthusiasm when "the boys come
home" Just when they will leave
France or when they will arrive, has
not been determined but they will be
given a welcome home back to Del
aware such as has never been seen.
Wilmington being the CHIEF and only
city in the state will have the honor of
having the big demonstration. Never
te less there is not smaller town in
the state, Smyrna included, but what
will extend a welcome sincere and
hearty in ever sense of the word.

"a few short weeks ago the average
American did not believe that the
Americans would so soon make such
a march as they are now making.
The average American believed that
our soldiers and those of the Entente
nations would plunge ahead over
coming the resistance of the Germans.
But almost in a twinkling, as those
on the inside know, the German mill
tary machine collapsed.
"In this new march of victory there
will be no devastation, no maltreat-
ing of the inhabitants of the occupied
territory. And it is not a forward
movement like the Germans would
make if the conditions were reversed.
The allied armies have won the bat

"What a mighty spectacle this must
be, the unopposed advance of this
great and victorious army, made more
impressive by the fact that the Amer

be hailed as liberators even by nc
small part of the German people
themselves, liberators from the crue
