noon with sigrns announcing a big pa¬ rade for the evening, no time speci¬ fied—and we had it. Its size may te judged from the length of the line. The march was along Merrick Road to Ocean Avenue, south to .Smith Street, east to Grove Street, and nortb and when it reached Merrick Road th«! rear of the line had not yet passed, so in order to avoid cutting it off, the line again went east along Merrick Road and up Main Street, which was lined solid with cheering folks with homs, bells, whistles, tin pans and happy greetings to their neighbors in the parade.
There was music, all kinds, with a band in the lead, and the Boy Scouto helping out through the sections of the parade, which was without a mar¬ shal—didn't want any—they just marched and shouted and hooted, and then made some more noise. At the head of the line, as a mattor of form was the village police department, with Chief Hanse in charge, followed by the Village President, Rotert G. Anderson and Messrs. Maxson and Mahnken of the Board of Trustees. The rest of the parade bad no formali¬ ty in it. Simply the essence of good times and happiness at the finish of
lived for over four years past.
Tliere were several original floato in the line, including one with a large elk which looked suspiciously like the one that tes been stonding in the Elks Ciub House so long. By the way, the Elks Club House was prettily decorated and illuminated for the event, as were clso a numter of tesi- ness places and residences along the line of march.
Before the parade storted and while the jollification crowd with the fire ap¬ paratus festively decorated were line! up on' the Boulevard, a bonfire was 3torted'and the effigy of the Kaiser appeared in bright relief above tho Hames, around which the crowd wildly cheered until the Kaiser sank in the flames and the blase had, died away to embers, and all then forined in lino or.rather en masse for the parade.
We of the United Stotos of America had a right to be proud—to celebrato —and we did it—but there will be an¬ other—a bigger one—when we are sure that the torms are binding, and the only way we can te sure German Govemment terms are binding is wher they have been carried out—to that day we are now looking forward ex- pectontly.

He wants his dominie and his priest and his rabbi; he wants the books of Yankee land and the singers and the songs of Yankee land; he wants the comforto and the education that he gave up to go and flght for us.
And he ought to have them. He has given the world freedom and us se¬ curity, and we would be a yellow lot, unworthy of wtet he has done, if wc didn't see that he gets everything he wanto.

We have had numerous campaigns, all of them successful. We never had a campaign that fell in a time so difficult as this. We do not have to toll you the reason. Everybody is up in the air over the peace. Everybody is excitod with the relief .after the tremendous strain of the past. It is hard to get attention ccncentrated on a campaign for funds.
But that is just the reason we are going'to make this good.
We are Americans. We are the brothers and fathers and mothers snd sistors and sons and daughters of the men who did it.. We have reason to te proud of a good many things back here, but our proudest achievement at home is a modest affair compared with the magnificent thing they did.    Oh,
the nightmare under which we have yes, we went without a little bread,'
Lest We Forget!
We can never forget, but let us in our Joy at the retum of peace, stoy a minuto and call the roll of those who gave their lives ttet this celebration might come—who made a real—the real—sacrifica for you and I, for your tey and mine—and they themselves now lying in Flanders field or other burial grounds, ani whose spirit must teve Joined with ours in our glad re¬ Uef from the oppression of the Kaiser's cruel war.

They won the war.
Won it with hearto of splendor, with souls shining and clean, with arms of mighty strength.
Now we are asked to give to the fund that will keep them comfortoble and happy until they come marching home.
Have we fallen down on anything in this war?
We have not.
Will we fall down on this service for the men who won the war?
We will not.

tlpeir comfortable homes, their lives, and the one bright spot in this terrible war has been the kindness of the war workers as represented by the organizations united in this drive.
It would bring tears in your eyes to read some of the stories of the joy that comes to the boys after the dreadfulness of the front line when they get to the Y. ^. C. A., Salvation Army or K. of C. huts.
This work oarried on at this time is very important be¬ cause of the probedble eirmistice period that will soon come when the actual fighting has stopped and then more than ever will these boys need the change and joy of being able to as¬ sociate with the war workers and take part in the recreations that are pljmned by them for the boys.
Peace does not mean that we should stop helping. This should be made a thanksgiving gift.
As a representative of the United War Work drive, I appeal to you to give again to your utmost for it is better to give than receive and noble to the giver.   Do your bit again and you will feel better and be better. Sincerely,
ELVIN N. EDWARDS, Chairman of the United War Work Campaign.

At the meeting of the Neighborhood Workers on Monday, encouraging re¬ ports were made in regard to the im¬ proved condition of many of those to whom assistonce has been heretofore extonded.

The request for contributions of Christmas red stockings to which there has alwa}rs been such a gener¬ ous response, will not te made this year becanse of the large demands upon everyone at this time.

President Wilson has approved of the suggestions of the Woman's Com¬ mittee of the Council of National De¬ fense that a brassard be worn as a substitute for mourning by the rela¬ tives of those soldiers and sailors who have lost their lives. The American Red Cross has undertaken the distri¬ bution of these, and will furnish them free to the widow or parents of the soldier or sailor. To other members of the family it will be furnished at cost. The brassard consiste of a ster on a band of black broadcloth three inches wide, to be worn on the upper part of the left sleeve. In P'reeport they may be obtoined through the chairman of Civilian Relief, Mrs. Rob¬ ert H. Earon, Southside Avenue.
On Wednesday, Octoter 2, the War Council of the Red Cross adopted the following resolution, and asks the rev¬ erent co-operation of every member.
Resolved, That every day at the hour of noon, in every workroom of the American Red Cross throughout the whole of the United Stetes, upon a given signal, all work shall cease for a period of one minute. During this time in silence we, the memters of the Red Cross, will solemnly con¬ centrate our minds upon our teloved soldiers and sailora overseas who are so nobly offering their all, even unto their lives, for us. We will think as one, hope as one, for their definito vic¬ tory and their individual well teing; consecrating ourselves anew to our country and to those who fight, later and suffer for her, becoming one with them in service.
May this united prayerl gathering power from <)Bt love and faith, mount to Heaven itself, and descending thence in the midst of our dear ones wherever they may be, fall upon them as a benediction, to be at all, times their comfort and their strength.

Service Club Re-opened
Th^ Soldiers and Sailors Club on Brooklyn Avenue opened again Mon¬ day evening aftor having been closed for the past three weeks becau.se of the  Spanish influenza  epidemic.
At that time the quarantine had not been removed from Camp Mills, but there were a numter of lads in uni¬ form around, and on account of the peace celebration it was thought tim 3- ly to open the rooms for the possible guesto.
At tte same time Mra. Davisson, chairman of the Ladies' Committee, with several of her assistonts, pre¬ pared some sandwiches and hot cof¬ fee, and while nst many of the sol¬ diera enjoyed them, the Boy Scouto did after the parade.
Speaking of the club rooms reminds tu ot this item reported through the Y. M. C. A.:
"The concert in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium was in full swing. A buck private was essaying a tenor solo, but the piteh of the song was too high, in the key set by the accompanist. Try as he could, the big doughtey couldn't reach the top noto, despito weird and wonderful contortions.
'Ill hang my harp on a weeping wil¬ low tree,' he tried to sing, but could not and when he had made three at- tompto a voice came from the back of the hall:
'Try hangin' it on a lower branch, old Uqp!'"
The rooms will now te kept open as before the closing and the men teve again been assigned to ragular sched¬ ule of duty. ^..'
