Whenever a man appeared with large flag
he Immediately became the leader of an i'm
promptu, unorganized parade, swelling into
thousands where staid matrons marched with
chorus girls, where bartenders, still wearing
their white aprons, linked arm and with
men clad In ministerial garb, where white mingled
with black, the rich with the poor, where good
church women were not too good to march arm
In arm with the outcast of the streets
Drunk with excitement and girls set
the pace in the maddest revel the cities had ever
known. Motor trucks and ice wagons became
triumphal chariots where girls, still undaunted
from a hundred maulings rode astride the radi-
ators dsregarding the reckless display of silken
hosiery, or chung In clusters to the necks of
drivers and passengers to keep from falling

Then suddenly there was an explosion. A ter
rife silence Then all London swept en- masse
into the streets and went wild. The same shouts
the same noise. The streets filed with seething
humanity and traffic halted. Flags swirled every

the residential districts into the business sections
downtown began. Hurriedly throwing on their

means of transportation which would take them

America really had two Armistice celebrations

approached an orgy by night"

New York. April 80 Rt-Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., had under considera- lion today five offers Of money 10 have his s5,O0O,oOO newspaper prop critics from disaster.
 The 2s year old heir to good share of the Vanderbilt millions had announced his need Of |S00,o00 with In hX months because of his fam ily's withdrawal of financial aid. Dudley Field Malone. his attorney retained to handle the .!tuation, said last night that among five offers 0, money, one was for sl,o00,000 for purchase of one of Nanderbits newspapers
 He declined to say whether the offer was for the Miami Tab, Los Angeles Illustrated News, or the San Francisco Herald Mir. Vanderbilt also publishes two magazines, the Vanderbilt Farmer and Vanderbilt Weekly. The person or persons making the offer was not disclosed.
 The father of Walter J. Bonk, who served with Vanderbilt in the World War and J. R. Callahan, a linotype operator, each offered to buy $1,o00 worth Of stock, A taxi driver who drove him to town yes terday recognized him and offered him his s96 savings. James F., Mar in who said he was president of Boston Mailers' Union No. wired from Broolline, Mass, his belief union employees of Mir. Vanderbilt would invest.
 Mir. Vanderbilt spent most Of yes- terday in conference with Mr. Ma lone, whom he has retained as coun- sel with Clarence Darrow of Chicago.
 They said that the papers were now losing about s25.000 a month. but 16 months ago their monthly loss was nearly sS0,000.
 "Our advertising income is in- crcaslng," said Mir. Vanderbilt, "and am confident another six months will see us out of the woods"
 Sale of one Of the properties would not necessarily mean dissolution. said Mir. Malone. "We would have to call a meeting of the stockhold- CTS" he said, "and we are going to do so in 30 days. A new board of directors will be elected. which would have authority to sell proper ties"
 The young publisher denied any intention of quitting journalism. Part of his day was spent in writing editorials and articles for his papers, intended to reassure his stockhold- CTS.
