PARIS WILD WITH
JOY OVER PEACE;
CELEBRATE LONG
Captain Stackpolc Tells of
Cheering When Armistice
Was Signed
Captain Edward J. Stackpolc, Jr., j
now recovering from severe wounds
in a Paris base hospital, in a letter j
to his wife received to-day, describes
the happenings in the French capital j
the day the armistice was declared, j
The letter dated November 11 is >n |
part as follows::
"To-day was a big day w'th a cap
ital IS. At 5 o'clock on (be raorniit* i f
this day the armistice was signed
and at the eleventh hour of the elev
enth day of the eleventh month hos
tilities ceased on tlie western front. !
No more killing— it's all over.
"Excitement prevailed in Paris. !
you may well guess. We could hear ;
the guns booming nnd the people
shouting way in here. The French :
maids went dancing through the j
hallway singing "La guerre est I
flnle" and things were very stirring. ;
"For the lirst time since Septem- I
ber 5 1 left the bed without a stretch- ;
er (two orderlies between them car- j
ried me to the street and placed me ,
carefully on the seat of a taxi) all
bundled up in bathrobes pnd coats
and in company with Lt. Halle.v, who :
has a chest wound but can walk,
we started forth as delighted at our :
release from bondage as a kid with ;
a. new toy.
"It was a wonderful treat. 1 felt
like a baby being carried out to tlie
cab and back again, but 1 wouldn't j
have' missed seeing the crowds for
anything.
"New York on election day
couldn't begin to touch Paris when
the armistice was signed, lt seemed
as though the whole world had as
sembled together on the streets of
Paris. All the buildings were draped
with the llags of the Allies and
crowds of students and soldiers and :
civilians thronged up and down the
streets, waving (lags and kissing the
girls and singing. At times our bus
traveled at the rate of 10 yards per
hour and several times we got jam
med for long stretches. , To-night
Paris will 'no doubt be drunk and
they are goin§ to light up for the
lirst time since the war started.
"Every nation on the globe seem
ed to be represented in its soldiers
except the Germans and Austrians.
Even Turkey had one of iter of
ficers, wearing his fez and leading
a girl along the street. The American
' flag was far more in evidence than
the British. Y. M. t\ A. men and
soldiers who had fought valiantly
the battle of. Paris, were on the
streets and in trucks as the-contribu
tion of the United States to the gen
eral hilarity, and they made plenty
of noise. 1 didn't see many 'blesses.'
1 guess it was too dangerous for
them. •
"You'd have to see-it to appre
ciate it. i expect they'll bo celebrat
ing right along now, in a somewhat
more orderly fashion, but what I
wanted to see was the tirst spon- -
-taneous burst of enthusiasm, and 1
saw it." "
Wednesday. November 13, lie
writes: "Saw I aris again to-day. this
time in company with Captain Hahn.
We tried to get an open sea-going
hack but had to content ourselves
with a taxicab. It smelled startling!}*
like New York, but Paris is differ
ent'somehow. In spite of the crowds
we rode up around the Bois de Bou
logne. Arch de Triomphe. Place de
la Concorde and up and down all the
rues and boulevards without num
ber, stayed out for an hour and a
half for twenty francs.
