WANAMAKER'S 't' frH A Page of Cheerful News in Keeping With the High Spirits of the Houti I . r I . ! a . i r The White Flag on Its Way From Germany to the Military Forces Waiting Them on the Border of France headed by General Foch, was the welcome vision in every eye in the United States yesterday. Lost in the mists ot the early centuries is the origin of the custom of the White Flag, but its use is a matter of history. The entire world, from the first time it was seen, universally recognized it as a symbol of sur render and of peaceful intentions and adjustments. Its speech is that pride has been satisfied and is yielding hot, hasty or impossible ambitions, and that amity is desired and peace at any and every cost. The tumult of joy and gladness that the quali fied cable messages as they were posted awakened and expressed in this and other cities yesterday wit nesses the deep feeling of approval that fills the hearts of hundreds of millions of people on both sides of the seas. What a wonderful sight the streets were, thronged with happy people how they forgot everything of their sacrifices as they grasped each other's hands and hugged each other, saying: "Now our dear boys will be coming home soon!" , In the beautiful service of Evening Prayer in the Episcopal Church is the supplication, which all the world at this moment fervently makes its prayer: 'Give peace in our time, O Lord.' i Signed Nov.
