Yesterday morning for five minutes
at 1870 o'clock thousands OF persons
throughout the Wheeling district stood
uncovered along the streets or IN the
business houses, while 5000 school
children paused In their school studies
in tribute to the one Wheeling younS
lady who died while in service as Red
Cross nurse in France and the eighty
six soldiers sailors and marines VINO
gave their lives upon the fields OF
France in the world war.
Never In the history OF Wheeling
was there more touching moment
than when the fire bells tolled out 81

America AS the bells were tolling out
thirty buglers stationed on the street
corners and at the entrance or the FIRST
Presbyterian church solemnly sounded
TAPS" the last call for one whose LIE
was taken in the war.
Yesterday, the second anniversary OF
the signing Of the armistice In France,
was greatly different from the day two
years ago.
On November IL. 1913, hundreds Of
proud mothers, brothers, sisters and
friends wept and cheered alternately
when the word reached them OF the
SHINING ot the armtstice which was to
end the greatest war the world has
ever known.
Yesterday the tears were shed for
those who lie under foreign soil, who
made the supreme sacrifice.
The observance Of Armistice day yes
terday began at o'clock, when members
of Wheeling post No. l OF the American
Legion began assembling for their short
parade.
The parade was only over short
route, following which they entered the
First Presbyterian church. Rev. Samuel
VI. Gibson opened with the invocation,
followed by several hymns. Mr.. Alfred
PAUL paid a tribute to those still "orer
yonder." saying IN part:
