j Victory Demonstration. News of the
j allied victory was announced at 12o’clock
on Friday with a joyous din that lasted
! through the afternoon. Never has the
Revere bell on the white spire led its
i softer toned mates with a wilder clang or
■ the cannon, silent since the Spanish War,
! spoken with a louder roar. Whistles
[ shrieked and flags waved while excited
! groups gathered to ask, “Where is the
' fire?” and stayed to talk over the good
I news. At three a notice was posted,
^ asking the public to take part in a Joy
Parade expressing the gratitude of the
land and its faith in the ultimate outcome
of the struggle. The response was whole
hearted and eager and at 7.45 an amaz
ingly long line was formed in front of
Union Hall. First place was given to
| the Red Cross unit dressed in service
uniform and led by Miss Rebecca Ross,
j local chairman. Twenty-five Camp Fire
Girls in white sailor suits and crimson
ties followed, carrying flags. Large
| French, English and American flags were
carried by a group of boys, representing
the future of the country. T»ny floats
drawn by children were next in line.
Next carne a decorated auto truck in
which stood Uncle Sam (Story Trundy)
carrying the helmet of a departed Hun.
With him rode a drum corps of young
w omen singing trench songs. Columbia
and her little daughter (Mrs. Wm. Curtis
and daughter Betty of Everett) made a
striking picture in a car driven by Mrs.
L. C. Havener. Then came the long line
of cars, gay with tri-colored bunting and
e xtending further than those in the front
of the procession could see. Perhaps the
most picturesque of these represented
Italy. In it stood Antonio Croce in na
tive costume, proudly holding his beauti
ful flag. With him were Mrs. Croce and
son Carl, Mrs. Jack Croce and children.
Behind the cars came a sedate white
horse, drawing a dray on which a huge
Liberty Bell was suspended, and last of
all a gun carriage with a straw filled
Kaiser astride the cannon. The line of
march covered Union Square, Main street
to Norris, Norris and Steam Boat avenue,
back to Main. On returning a halt was
made in front of the post office. Here
the National Anthem was sung and a
cheer given with a deafening chorus of
I bells and horns. Ranks were broken and
the Kaiser placed in front of the big, old
gun, where he remained until assisted
skyward on a charge of powder. Ameri
ca with its added stanza was sung and
I the crowd went home after the biggest
j p arade the old town has seen since July
j 4th, 1898. Of course there were those
| who said, “The war is not over, why so
l much noise?” And to those we answer,
I the boys over there stand behind their
I guns and we stand behind the boys,
j When they cheer, we cheer. It will help
them “carry on.”
