PLEASANT TIME AT CIVIC CLUB Out of-Town Guests Enjoy Hospitality of Hostess House Saturday Evening The week-end at the Civic Club was one of great pleasure but judg ing from the flaring headlines in this morning's paper even a greater num ber of guests are expected next week to celebrate the big news.

DELIRIUMOFJOY SETS CITY WILD [Continued from First Pagc.J from the residential district were hundreds of gray-haired old women, they were the mothers of Harris burg's soldiery who had made pos sible the Kaiser's downfall and burst his dream for world domin ion; they needed no peace alarms to open eyes wakeful all the night awaiting the news. There were thousands of young women, there were wives, sweethearts and sisters of young Ametlca and they brought with them the brothers and sisters who had been helping at home with Red Cross and other work. No Limit to Joy Apparently there was no limit to the joyous signaling. The whistles were tied down and the bells rang continuously. Every bit of fire appar atus, decorated with flags and bear ing dozens of cheering men, ran up and down the streets. Automobiles and motorcycles added to the gen eral din while revolver shots added an old-fashlonel bit to the cele bration. Pageant Grows Rapidly The general walk-around began almost immediately. Men appeared in the streets in on time, some with drums, some with flags. In a few minutes the procession grew into sizable proportions. A band appear ed. The crowd grew larger and the walk-around became a parade. Another band made its appearance and by this time the parade had grown to a remarkable size. Thousands of persons joined in while other thousands thronged the streets and the din became terrific. At no time did the noise makers seem to be satisfied with their eff orts as the i oar of the whistles rose and fell in tremendous waves. While the spectacular side of the demonstration wus of course the more easily seen there wus another part in which thousands participated. Thanks went up to the Great Jehovah for His deliver ance of h:s followers from the dangers of the barbaric emperor. In the sanctity of the homes thous ands knelt in prayer thankful that the God that has guided the des tiny of the right for all time had not forsaken the world in the time of its greatest peril. _ —-""Streets a Seething Mass The affair itself resolved into a regular Mardi Gras. Muny who could not purchase red fire bought red lanterns and carried them through the streets. Down on Market street when the parade came marching along the massed crowds blocked the way. Pressing in to see the marchers the crowd formed a mass in the middle of the street. The parade split up into two parties walking on each' side of the big mob. An amusing sight was a wee ur chin perspiring under the weight of a huge bass drum. But other boys took a prominent part, too. Boy Scouts with Scout Executive J. Fredrik Virgin leading, came tramping down the streets wearing their khaki uniform. Putlios in Parade Held In restraint by the alow movement of some marchers, a fire engine developed engine trouble between Second and Third streets on Market. Halting the parade for a minute or two, the trouble was quickly remedied and the great mass moved on. "There's a funny, one," shouted a happy girl as she saw a huge fruit truck come pounding down the street, crowded to the brim with loudly cheering women. It was funny, but it had its serious side. A woman in the load carried a piece of black crepe on her arm. On the crepe was a gold star. Governor Cheers Purailers Governor Brumbaugh mounted a Bethlehem Steel Company truck near the Bolton House. Forgetting official dignity, he waved an Amer ican flag and cheered just us loud ly as the worklngman. "It's great!" he said. "I'm not going to work to-day," was the general refrain. Hundreds of patriotic Harrisburgers will be missing from the places of employ ment to-day. Business will be crippled but who cares? The war is ended! "I'm going home," said many a father or mother when the good news was verified, "I'm going to thank God!" One of the funniest incidents of the entire celebration- oamq from an American of German descent who called the Telegraph on the telephone, "Wats da I hear about war news betn' good,'' said the man with a German accent! "The kaiser's gone to Holland and armistice has been signed," he was advised, "Guess PRESIDENTIN PROCLAMATION TELLS OF PEACE By Associated Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—Pres ident Wilson Issued u formal proc lamation at 10 o'clock this morn ing announcing the armistice with Germany had been signed. The proclamation follows: "My Fellow Countrymen: The armistice was signed tills morn ing. Everything for which Amer ica fought hus been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example, by sober, friendly council and bv material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world. (Signed) "WOODROW WILSON." the kaiser had business in Holland," returned the inquirer. Church Feels Out One of the first church bplls to peel out the news of the signing of the armistice was that of the Mes siah Lutheran congregation at Sixth and Forster streets. People who hurried from the northern section of the city downtown between 3 and 4 o'clock saw the beautiful edi fice ablaze with light. Inside, a pa triotic sexton was ringing the bell. People paused for but a moment, being too deeply interested in the parade that was to move as soon us some sort of formation was ob tained. Thei'e were some few people who, prepared by the extra edition of the Telegraph for the important an nouncement, did not seek their beds. The Pennsylvania Railroad (em ployes were on the alert through out the night, and at the round houses and shops word from the State Department through the Tele graph and the telegraph offices was awaited as an authorization for blowing the whistles. Faces Ileum With Joy There were in the crowds moth ers, wives und sisters of soldiers at the front, whose faces beamed with joy. "It eeems this news is too good to be true," said a mother who held to her breast the picture of her boy, a sunny-faced lad of twenty who had gone from a training camp but a couple of months ago. "We had a letter from him a few days ago. He spoke of his journey and told many interesting- Incidents of his voyage across the ocean. I hope we shall see him soon," she concluded, as she brushed away the tears that would not stuy back, and turned away lest she break down, and then threw herself into the spirit of the celebration that was marking the virtual ending of the war. Almost every conceivable form of device for making noise was brought into action —horns, whistles and drums —and these shrieked out in celebration throughout the morning. School Was forgotten. It was the first day since the Hoyer ban was lifted for children to return to j their studies, but there were many vacant desks and the teachers did not ask why or wherefore. The va cant scat was proof of the presence on business elsewhere of the little student who woul have been deep in study but for the crowning event in the world's history. "No school mor me," shouted a Joyous youngster as early as 6 o'clock. "No, indeed, the old Kaiser's gone; we got Mm," he salcl. "No school to-day. Parade Continues Man firetrucks were loaded with human beings, who hung on by the eyelash. The old Mt. Vernon Hook and Ladder Company carried half a hundred girls from the silk mill and turning into Market street ran smack, into Chief Kindler. "How about it, Chief?" yelled the driver. "Let her go," shrilled the Chief. "I have nothing to say to-day." Copious libations drove many to a species of hysteria. At Third and Walnut one wild demon shed all his clothes and with them two bottles of runt. ' He was provided with a burlap bag for covering at the Penn- Harrls and hustled away In a taxi cab. A near riot was prevented in Mar ket street by the wily police who found a mad crowd about a man accused of tearing down the Amer ican flag.

Join In Sing As the morning waned every truck in the city made Its appearance, loaded to the gunwales with men, women and children, all armed with some noisfe-maker. Colored folks gave the bystanders most amuse ment, crowded into small spaces and singing their own songs. One truck pulled up in front of George Harry's place, and an old man who had been a slave leaped out to do a shine on the pavement, while the bund of three pieces whooped up 'The St, Louis TJckle." The rattle of rifles, bang of bombs, tornado of confetti, and cataclysm of yells, was so tremen dous that inside the many hostelrles one could barely hear the lid being pried off. Song was the main out let of rejoicing and "The Old Grey Mare," with the chorus of "Stars and Stripes Will Wave Over Germany" penetrated to the depths of the Kittatinny. Men of serene age were seen to buek-and-wine on many a floor, and shortly after 9 o'clock thousands of school girls, joined with the boys in an impromptu pa rade, snake-fashion, down Market street. Trouble Brewing It was high time to close the saloons when Mayor Keister gave the order, for Intoxicants were wreaking havoc. Strawberry street looked like the days in old England, when the artist, Hogarth, wielded his clevef pen. Half a dozen frays were in progress all the time. One demon insisted on fighting the per son nearest to him and finally tackled the wrong party. "Fighting's over" said this would be victim, who looked so hardy that the crowd made way for a ring. "Not f'r me" shouted tjie other, and a right uppercut shoked oft the rest of his talk. When the word got about, what Keister had done, thousands fairly offered prayer. There seemed to be a feeling that every face should smile and at the corner of Third and Market a riot, started over the man who refused to smile. True, he had a mouth like a nick in a sword, carried no flag and evidently wanted to be alone. "What's the matter with you— t —smile," demanded a truck-load of machinists, jammed into a huge car. When the stranger kept his cold, smug phiz, he was assaulted first with light artillery and presently with everything throwable in sigljt and he only escaped by ducking into a saloon. Not one race in town took the lid off more eloquently than the Italians, and the funniest sight of the day was old George McGarry, perched on top the hood of a motor bus, playing an ancient guitar, not with perfect execution, but with the proper Juice. Lou Slmonetti made every drum-major on earth look like a crutch. "The Stars and Stripes are wav ■ ing" whooped the bystanders at Second and Walnut when the War Department select service truck, loaded with pretty girls buzzed by, the end of the car being lined with pretty girls, one of whom wore Stars and Stripes socks. Tin-pans, cymbals, accordions, kazzoes; everybody brandished some thing, and in Third street the cops saved <i man from being beat to pulp as he raced along carrying a - wash boiler on his back. Behind him an enthusiastic friend beat the boiler so hard that one blow felled the patriot and he lay stone-cold for some minutes. Packed on Trucks In front of Russ' market some one from a second story dropped a ten pound sack of flour, the whole bulk of which struck a brilliant, beauti ful brunette, and the rest of the day she was a blonde, for they could not get the stuff off. One-seat motor cars held as many as ten persons, and no one cared who sat on anybody else's lap. The stores were vacuum cleaned of con fetti at 11 o'clock, and with all saloons shut,-the populace demanded that Market Square be roped off for public dancing. But Mayor Keister, on the advice of Captain Thompson thought this would offer unneces sary danger, for, said Thompson, "two regiments of infantry, with bayonets fixed, could not keep the crowd from over-running on an occasion like this." Business at Standstill Business was at a standstill to- 'NOVEMBER 11, 1918. day, while all Harrlsburg celebrated and gave thanks for the cessation of hostilities with Germany. Even the schools closed after a rollcull of tho few studious youngsters who made their appearance. From 3.80 o'clock this morning, when practldally every industrial es tablishment in the city and vicinty was emptied of all its workmen at the first sound of the factory whis tles and church and fire bells, pro claiming peace, workmen and em ployers alike forgot all about their work and the normal activities of the day. Very few establishments were opened for business this morn ing. Parade Continuous Hundreds who were parading the streets all morning reported that all activities had ceased In their vari ous places of employment. The workmen threw off all thought of care and toil for a day, and joined the city's celebration of the Allied victory. The committee assisting Mayor Keister In arranging for the early morning parade and celebration in cluded the following; A. S. Pat terson, William Jennings, Henderson Gilbert, Francis H. Hoy, Jr., Mercer B. Tate, David Kaufman, George S. Reinoehl, R. Ross Seaman and C. W. Burtnett. A United Signal So that the whistles would be iblown and bolls rung at the same time, a few days ago a list of all manufacturing plants, fire engine houses and churches giving their telephone calls was prepared and furnished to the Bell Telephone Company. Mr. ' Reinoehl at once gave copies of tho list to the op erators and early this morning when olllclal word was received from Washington, calls were made all over the city, requesting that the whistles and bells should be sounded at 3.20 o'clock. Not one sounded before that time and the committee latter in the day expressed its ap preciation of the co-operatton In waiting until the time which had been fixed for the celebration to Btart. Cpnspicuous In the joyful crowd wheh thronged the downtown streets us early as 3.15 o'clock this morning, was a cripple who valiantly held his place in the throng in his wheel chair. Ho is a resident from Alli son Hill and joined heartily in the celebration of the Jostling masses who ushered in the dawn of the first day of peace In more than four years. Rotary Peace Luncheon Turns Into a Riot, and Then Into Walkaround The luncheon of tho Rotary Club at the Y. M. C. A. at noon to-day started out sedately by singing "God Save Our Splendid Men," and ended in a riot. The Joyousness of victory was in the air and President Eli N. Hershey was able to keep a semblance of or der in the room at odd moments, but not often. Lieut. Tinsley, chap lain of Camp Colt, said grace and made an address in which be paid a fine tribute to the American soldier. E. J. Stackpole. guest of James P. McCullough, also spoke, dwelling upon the American spirit which has made the victory possible and paying tribute particularly to the splendid war efTorts of the women of Harris tburg, to whom he proposed a toast which was drunk amid great ap plause. And right then a funny thing hap pened. An officer present proposed this "Roast to the Kaiser:" "Here's to the Kaiser, That old limburger cheese: May the swelling of his head Go down to his knees; May he break his damn neck On the Hindenburg line, And go to hell singing, Die Wacht am Rhine." And then the Rotarians, solemnly and most sincerely, sang "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow," and went out to hold an im promptu parade. Victory Dances i Every Night This Week i 13TH & MARKET STS. 25<* and 500 WITH FOCH VICTOR PEACE STEPS ARE NEXT IN PROGRAM Diplomatic Agencies to Ta&ti Up Task at Once; Placq Not Yet Known Wanhlngton, Nov. XI. With till) granting' of the armistice to the I beaten German armies by Marshal Foch, the next step will be the ar rangements for tho meeting of the peace conference .which will endeavor to reach a permanent settlement of the vast issues arising from the great world war. Beginning in August. 1914, aa the direct result of the assassination of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, the Archduke Francis and bis consort at Sarajevo, Bosnia, by a Serbian student, more than fbur and a half years of incredibly bloody strife have developed problems that may not be permanently adjusted for a generation. , No I'lnns For Conference The armistice which has terminated actual hostilities with the central powers, beyond general references to peace settlements and guarantees for the performance of any condition that may be dictated by the victors did not contain any provision for the as semblage of peace delegates. Con sequently it is believed that the diplomatic agencies will proceed to that task at once, leaving the mili tary agencies to deal with such ques tions as demobilization of the late enemy forces, extension of Imme diate relief to the distressed civilian inhabitants, not only of evacuated territory, but even of the central powers, where there Is general dis tress and disposition of the vast stores of war material, of warships and naval stores, and finally of the closure of munition plants In tho enemy countries, will proceed Imme diately with the plans for the peace conference.
