When the Peace News Came.
Last Thursday afternoon, as was
published in the issue of the Register
just then going to press, the news was
flashed ail over the country that the
terms of the armistice offered the Germans
by General Foch had been signed
and that the war was over. The news
was given out by the United Press, and
though it was premature by several
days, it was sent all over the country
The whole of the United States went
wild, and immediately in city, town and
village the public literally were crazy
with enthusiasm and joy. In cities like
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and
Baltimore the scenes of excitement and
rejoicing were beyond all description.
In old Shepherdstown the good news
spread like wildfire. The church bells
began to ring immediately, and in a
short time an impromptu prade was organized,
with flags flying and drumi
beating and all sorts of noise sound
ing . This kept up most of the afternoon,
and we saw sights that we nevei
expected to see in Shepherdstown.
Dignified women who had never been
in a procession in their lives marche
up and down the street blowing horn:
ing yelling themselves hoarse, making
demonstrations of joy that were unmis
takable even if they were in a way very
funny. The women were more enthusiastic
than the men, while the smal!
boys used the opportunity to let off accumulated
energy that had been gathering
during a month of inaction. Th?
enthusiasm kept up all afternoon and
evening, and at night grew more intense.
The drum corps headed another
procession, which paraded the streets 1
Men, women and children marched about
the streets, shouting and blowing horn?\
and exercising various instruments for
making noise. A bonfire was built ir. 1
the public square, and the people gather*
ed around it and sang patriotic songs
and Mayor Waldeck made a brief speech. 1
Many country folks who had heard th& ]
news and the ringing of the bells came
to town and the noise and excitement 1
kept up until a late hour.
Word came in the evening that the ^
nPU'c VL'tic nromafiifo Kn?
.? "tf ^ ^ wtiiMiuiw, uui uuuvuy yuiu
much attention to it, for we all knew !
that it wouldn't be long until it woulc J
be true, and so we kept right on. Thev
did the same thing in New York?wh\ I
not in Shepherdstown? Friday morn .
ing's paper brought denials of the new's {
but we had our fling and everybody was
happy. The news from abroad made
it evident that the Germans could not <
possibly hold out much longer. ?
?
Monday morning about 3 o'clock word f
came from Washington that the J
armistice had been4 signed, and thif c
time the news was official. By sun-up t
it was being made public in our neigh- s
borhood, and once more the church bells t
rang out, carrying the good news to I
everybody. The school boys and girls t
celebrated by parading and shouting^ \
but the volder folks expressed thfir A
thankfulness by their happy faces and s
in congratulating each other that it was 1
all over at last. t
At twelve o'clock noon, the Episcopal
Church was fiilled with people who had
assembled to attend a service of prayei c
and thanksgiving conducted by the F
rector, Rev. J. W. Ware. There were c(
many thankful hearts in that audience. 1
and sincere and earnest prayers were c.
rendered to God for his gdodness in '
bringing peace to the war-weary peoples
of the earth. j.
Monday night there was another J
parade led by the teachers and students c
of Shepherd College and the Graded
School and participated in by the people ''
if the community. Headed by the drum 1
corps, with red lights burning and
hundreds of flags waving, the enthu- d
siastic marchers paraded the streets 2
and then assembled at the old college v
building, where patriotic songs were j
sung and address were made by Prof, r
Thos. C. Miller, Prof. J. D. Muldoon and A
H. L. Snyder. It was a really credit- o
able demonstration and all the com o
munity was interested and filled with h
enthusiasm. Shepherdstown has done c
her full share in sending her young men v
to the service of our countjY in the e
Army and Navy, in supporting every f
worthy cause that has been presentee t<
to us, and now we have celebratec
victory and the coming of peace in a
happy and becoming manner. C

Drunken Joy Kiders in Trouble. 0
A party of negro men and women from t
harles Town, who had been to Balti d
ore for a cargo of whiskey, met with f
bad accident last Friday morning a<
ey were coming down the mountain fc
:ar BoonsbOro. They wer^in a Ford t
r, and at a turn in the road it skidded p
aring off^two wheels and throwing the s
:cupants out. The party was composed s
Ambrose Bailey, known as "Jumbo," f
eorge Drew, Leah WilU^ms and Marie \
oupt, and the Kagerstown Globe says r
at all of them were intoxicated, Bailey i
5ing so drunk that he fought wher
ley tried to put him in a car. The
oupt woman was pretty badly hurt
id was takeo to the hospital in Ha
:rstown. Bailey was arrested, and the
hers in the party were held as witness
; for a hearing on .Monday, after they }
id time to sober up. Bailey was tried ^
:iore jumicc iiaiuiiuu ifi
i Monday, the case being pushed bv 1
rosecuting Attorney Omer T. Kaylor. '
he other negroes tried to shield him !
at Justice Hqrtman sentenced him to 1
lirty days in jail and a fine of S100.0C
rid costs, with an additional 100 days
the fine was not paid. George Drew 1
as arrested on the charge of carrying '
jncealed weapons, a revolver havim 1
een found on his person.
Mr. Kaylor demanded of Bailey who (
as the owner of the car, and heanswerd
that this was asking too much. He
nallv admitted that it belonged to
ev. Craven, a colored minister of
iharles Town. The negroes had forty '
uarts of whiskey with them in the car. ^

It is said that whiskey is being sold
reely in Charles Town by bootleggers
ho get their supplies from Maryland
r Pennsylvania. They are asking i
5.00 a quart for the stuff, some of
^hich has been so rotten that a few of
heir customers have been made sick
y it.

An Interesting Letter From France. Jj
Ihe i?mily of the editor of the Register
i.as receiveu an interesting and
amusing letter ?ioin Captain Harold A.
f-asicx, wno ..as occasionally visited
in Snepherastu..a, from which we quote
as follows:
1 suppose by this time you know that
1 sailed from the States on September
Jutn and landed in France on tne J9tn.
atter an uneventful voyage?uneventful
except for the fact that the third
day out 1 went down in the clutches of
tne good old Spanish "flu." That was
not so uneventful. We had a lot ot
colored troops on board, and they :
certainly were funny when they were II
seasick. Fortunately 1 did not suffer f;
from "Mai de Mer," for which 1 was
duly thankful. When one of the aforesaid
darkies was feeling the worst,
afraid first that he was going to die and
then afraid that he was not, and could
keep nothing on his stomach but his
hands, 1 heard him telling one of his
cronies:"You can have your Victoria
Cross, your Distinguished Service
Cross and your Croix de Guerre, but
the onlyest cross I want is "cross dis
ocean." Another said, "By Gaw d, unless
dey builds a bridge over dis here ocean.
I's gwine ter stay in France." They rp
certainly were funny, but after they had li
recovered from sea sickness 1 wish you [r
could have heard them sing. They
made that old ark fairly vibrate with
their harmony.
After debarking in France I spent
Ave days at the Casual Officers' camp
at the base post, and then received
orders to proceed to Blois for further
orders. Blois is Casual Officers'Head
quarters, and when 1 arrived there I
received orders to report to Tours, the
headquarters of the Service of Supply,
inhere I am now located.
At Blois there is a wonderful chateau [L
It dates back many centuries. Catherine rp
ie Medici lived there at one time, and Lt
was then that the Duke de Guise was murdered
by Henry Valois, the King
>' a? ?hn limp tt'hptl Guise
" X ?~ - ^
Henry Valois and Henry of Navarre i
fcere contending for the throne of l
France. j
In Tours the officers are billeted ir II
jrivate homes. We were fortunate in If
.ecuring a very desirable billet. Cap- V
ain Galloway and I are billeted to- |
tether and we have a very large front 1
oom with fireplace, From the windows /
>ne can look out into our garden, where /i
i fountain plays, with a number o. ll
toldfish swimming about in the base of ll
he fountain. The house has electric ft
ights and our room is next to the bath. \
vhere there is both tub and shower J
The electric lights are rather unusual !{
n the home of Tours, and the bath is \
tractically unheard of. You may be i
,ure that 1 have not told any majors or Ii
:olonels of our desirable billet, for fear If
hat tney might "rank" us out of it.
That is frequently done over here.
At present I am assigned to theRe- 1
luircrnents Division, but some time this J
ieck I uill be transferred to the Supply /
)ivision, and Tuesday of next week //
xpect to receive orders sending me ll
:ither to an advance depot or to an *'
immunition dump. That is what I \
lesire, for in that way 1 get closer to the J
ront, and that is where we all want to /)
ie. I would prefer being sent to an II
mmunition dump, but I am not par- V\
icular which assignment I get. If I
m fortunate enough to secure the A. D. 1'
ssignment I will be even closer to the I
ront than in an advance depot. Ii
Capt. H. H. Williams, who marriei If
liss Margaret Potts, is over here in V\
he same building with me . He is irr V.
he Supply Division also. Send me V
Jill's address, please. I may get tc J
ee him. fi
From Old Frederick. V
Dear Mr. Snyder?The hilarons but V
rcmature outburst of joy over the 1
rospect of peace recalls an incident of Ii
is boyhood, often related by my father, ff
his occurred at the close of the war \]
f 1812 with England. The mail was
hen brought to Mecklenburg, or Sheperdstown,
by an old German on horse
iack. Un this occasion ne came in
own wfth a grand flourish, riding up
treet in a heavy Dutch gallop, waving I
is hat and shouting at the top of his UL
oice: "Beese ! K'glory nooce ! Beese!
tccse !" W
As there was then neither railroad \|
anal or national highway to afford line
or mail routes, it is an interesting ..
uestion whence that was brought?pre- U
umably from the east and Baltimore ^
Is good old Grandfather Rcntch, our ?
racle and authority for the doings oi "
hose days, is now silent, we must i|
lepend on the Register's knowledgf
or such history and tradition.
Some German manufacturers in ||
iraziljhreaten that when the war closes
hey will flood this country with cotton
;oods at old prices. If this dire inva- .A
ion occurs, and our southern brethren tJ
till insist on having fourfold for in U
erior goods, the temptation to barter ik
vith the brutal enemy will strain our
latriotism and pocketbooks to the break- ||
ng point of capitulation. *
