Happy people thronged the streets and motor passage was impossible. Waste paper baskets were thrown from office buildings and in a short time the noise reached such a terrible pitch that people had to stuff cotton in their ears. The hilarity in Times Square blew over into a paradisiacal occasion for soldiers and sailors. They danced through the streets, kissing every pretty girl they saw. In the nation’s capital, hundreds of people filled the streets in front of the White House. Shortly before issuing the momentous announcement, the President walked out on the lawn of the White House, when a large crowd cheered and whistled and broke into song. The President waved his hand to them and the crowd waved jubilantly back. Returning to the lawn after his announcement, Mr. Truman made a short speech. The President later declared August 16th and 17th legal holidays to mark the ending of the global war, with provision for overtime pay for war-workers who have to remain on their jobs.

The war which has cost the US 249,727 dead and total casualties of 1,060,727 had left most of Europe prostrate under bombing and shelling. As the war ended American servicemen were stationed all over the world, and American armed might had demonstrated its ability to smash the enemy wherever he was. Every ship at Pearl Harbor was illuminated like a Christmas tree for the first time since the Japanese struck on Dec. 7, 1941 and thousands of yelling, screaming servicemen began a wild celebration. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 14 (UP)—The official Japanese News Agency, Domei, broadcast today, “It is most fortunate... most fortunate... that His Majesty’s decision on the matter is final and the best,” the broadcast said. “Even if the imperial command should not be in line with our individual desires, the only thing left for us to do is obey.” Japan had signified on Friday its willingness to accept the Potsdam terms provided that the sovereign powers of the emperor were not compromised. The allies replied after 27 hours of consultations among their four capitals, that the emperor would be subject to the authority of the Allied Supreme Commander, who is expected to be Gen. MacArthur.

RIGHT PLACE BUT WRONG MESSAGE Washington, Aug. 15—Eagerness with which Japan’s reply was awaited led to misunderstanding earlier when Charles G. Ross, press secretary to President Truman told White House reporters at 0950, Eastern War Time (1550 hours in the ETO) that the Japanese reply was already “in the hands of the Swiss.” This was quickly denied by Berne, Switzerland. The misunderstanding apparently arose from the receipt by the Japanese diplomat in Berne of another communication from Tokyo. The Swiss Legation here issued a memorandum that “the Japanese legation reports that code cables received here this morning did not contain the answer which was awaited by the whole world.” Ross then made public this memorandum without further comment. Bags 3 Japanese Planes Without Firing a Shot RYUKYU ISLANDS (CNS) — Lt Robert J. Slone, shot down 2 enemy planes and then bagged 3 more without firing a shot. After getting the first two, his P-47 was attacked by 25 Japanese fighters. He dove from 28,000 feet to the deck. As he skimmed the trees trying to get away, a twin-engineed Japanese plane in front of him took off. Slone rose to avoid the plane. “My prop wash

While the President said that the surrender was “unconditional”, the Japanese surrender note directly followed one from Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, in which the Allies agreed that the Japanese would be allowed to retain their Emperor providing he subjects himself to the orders of the Supreme Allied Commander. The war will not be formally over until the surrender is actually signed and President Truman proclaims V-J Day. Britain, Russia, and China will be represented at the surrender arrangements by high-ranking officers, the announcement of all four governments said. In Japan there was moaning and wailing. The Domei News Agency, in describing a demonstration before the Imperial palace, spoke of the weeping and bowing “in their shame” at the “boundless and infinite solicitude” at the Imperial decision. Only a week ago it was felt that the War in the Pacific would continue indefinitely. Those who had fought through the water-filled foxholes and mud of France and Germany were reconciled to

Only a week ago it was felt that the War in the Pacific would continue indefinitely. Those who had fought through the water-filled foxholes and mud of France and Germany were reconciled to a long, drawn-out campaign against the Japs in the jungles of the Far East. On Monday the world shaking atomic bomb made its appearance, and was followed quickly by a haymaker from Russia when Premier Josef Stalin’s Red Army marched into Manchuria. Exactly 93 days after the collapse of the supermen and German Third Reich, the Japanese bubble of world conquest burst. The Japs first attacked China in 1931. For the United States, which threw a strength of 11 million men into the world conflict, the official announcement ended a State of war which began when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. For Russia, it marked the end of a period of warfare which began on June 22nd, 1941. The blood, sweat, and tears of Britain’s war started on September 3rd, 1939.

PREPARED FOR OCCUPATION WASHINGTON Aug. 14 (INS) The Army is prepared for the job of running Japan. Since last fall, a War Department spokesman revealed, hundreds of Army officers have been undergoing basic training for Military Government jobs in Japan. The course follows the pattern of that given to officers assigned to Germany. THAT “PLUS SIX” IS YET TO BEGIN Army legal authorities pointed out that Japanese surrender would not mean that soldiers could get out of the army in half a year, even though they signed up for the duration plus six months. As defined by the Selective Service Act, it was explained, hostilities will be considered as ended when a treaty has been signed, when the President has proclaimed the war is over or when Congress adopts a joint resolution announcing the war’s end. After any of these actions, a soldier will still be liable for service for another six months if the Army wishes to retain him.

Included in vaults are 90% of the defeated enemy’s gold, the scepter of the Hohenzollern family, of which the Kaisers were members, and thousands of gold teeth knocked from the mouths of those who were murdered at Dachau, Belsen, and other camps. Also in the Army’s custody are a small parcel of radium, a fortune in French, Norwegian, Belgian, Russian, and Italian currencies, $2,000,000 worth of American money, and 87 religious objects stolen from Polish Catholic Churches.

BULLETIN DU JOUR FRANCE Le Conseil des ministres s'est réuni hier matin à l'Élysée, sous la présidence de M. Carnot. Le Conseil a décidé, en principe, de saisir la Chambre d'un projet de tombola de 15 millions, dont le produit sera destiné à faire venir à Paris, pour visiter l'Exposition, un certain nombre d'instituteurs, d'ouvriers et d'agriculteurs. Les lots, dont le chiffre s'élèvera à 3 millions, consisteront en objets exclusivement achetés parmi ceux qui figurent à l'Exposition. Les termes de ce projet seront définitivement arrêtés dans un prochain conseil. Il reste, en effet, à régler certains détails d'exécution, tels que la nature des produits à acheter, la proportion des achats à faire entre les industries françaises et étrangères, etc. M. Spuller a remis au Président de la république une Adresse signée par les membres de la colonie française de Saint-Pétersbourg, dans une réunion qui a eu lieu le 5 mai à l'ambassade de France, et à laquelle assistaient la plupart des membres de la colonie française. On se souvient que les Chambres ont voté, avant les vacances, des crédits destinés à augmenter de 10 % pendant l'Exposition les traitements des fonctionnaires résidant à Paris et dont le chiffre est inférieur à 2,400 fr. Dans cette répartition on a omis les gardiens de la paix de Paris qui sont rétribués, moitié par l'État, moitié par la Ville. Le Conseil municipal a décidé dernièrement d'allouer à ses fonctionnaires, à titre de gratification, 5 % de leur traitement. Le gouvernement a résolu de demander à la commission du budget de voter un crédit pour permettre à l'État de donner, de son côté, aux gardiens de la paix une gratification de 5 %, afin que ces agents jouissent des mêmes bénéfices que les autres fonctionnaires. Les deux Chambres ont siégé hier. La Chambre a commencé la discussion générale du budget et décidé de tenir une séance exceptionnelle les vendredis pour examiner des projets de loi intéressant les ouvriers. Le Sénat a à l'ordre du jour de sa prochaine séance la discussion de la loi militaire. Les deux Chambres se sont ajournées à jeudi. PARADERHAGGARD

PARADERHAGGARD Une heure environ après avoir quitté Jesa, Hans Coetzee arriva en vue d'une petite maison en briques rouges et de l'ombre qu'elle projetait, émergea un cavalier monté sur un robuste cheval noir. Le cavalier, grand et bel homme au visage dur, à la barbe dorée, abrita ses yeux de sa main, afin de mieux voir sur la route, frappa ensuite le cheval de ses éperons et le bel animal se précipita au galop, dans la direction de Hans Coetzee. — Ah! murmura celui-ci, c'est ce démon de Frank Muller Qu'est-ce qu'il peut bien m'voir? J'ai toujours froid dans le dos quand il s'approche de moi. Un instant après, le coursier noir s'arrêtait près du poney et l'arrêt était si soudain, que le Boër voyait, à sa grande terreur, les sabots du grand cheval cabré battre l'air à quelques pouces de sa tête. Dieu tout-puissant s'écria le vieillard, en faisant volte-face; faites attention, neveu, faites attention, je n'ai pas envie d'être écrasé comme un hanneton. Frank Muller, car c'était lui, sourit méchamment il avait fait exprès d'effrayer le vieillard dont il connaissait la poltronnerie. Pourquoi avez-vous été si long? et qu'avez-vous fait des Anglais ? demanda-t-il. Le pèreur en fit demander

Pourquoi avez-vous été si long? et qu'avez-vous fait des Anglais ? demanda-t-il. Le pèreur en fit demander immédiatement la confirmation. À trois heures, la nouvelle était démentie, et, pour l'expliquer, on prétextait l'erreur d'un fonctionnaire. La vérité est que des jeunes gens ont tiré sur la troupe. Ils sont arrêtés, et il n'y a eu aucun blessé. Dimanche, l'autorité civile à Dortmund a interdit une réunion d'ouvriers mineurs, en invoquant la loi contre les socialistes. La presse indépendante s'élève contre cette mesure qu'elle considère comme arbitraire. C'est, dit-elle, une atteinte au droit de réunion garanti par la Constitution. À Berlin, le 12 mai. Il est incontestable que l'opinion publique se montre généralement très favorable à l'Exposition de Paris et que depuis longtemps on n'a tenu à l'égard de la France un langage aussi gracieux. On donne raison aux peintres qui y ont envoyé leurs œuvres, et plusieurs d'entre eux, M. Gleichen Rùsswurm, entre autres, qui est le propre petit-fils de Schiller, s'y sont décidés au dernier moment; il semble même, à lire une note un peu confuse des journaux, que le professeur Begas, l'un de nos bons sculpteurs, et qui s'était signalé d'abord par une opposition tout à fait véhémente, soit venu à résipiscence. On ne peut donc attacher beaucoup d'importance à la protestation de la Société
