sugar syrup to make a full pint. If
you prefer, ust clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,

Dignity was dethruned in Memphis
Monday nieht and the Joyous king of
carnival usurped his place. For ,th?
world was at peace, democracy bad
won a signal victory over autocracy
and all Memphis was on the streets to
fittingly celebrate the evem. au ii
nla and laiiL-hter were keynotes of
happiness never In the city's history
was such a merry crowd on the streets
and never was a momentous event more
fittingly observed.
Men. women and children weaved
through the streets, shouting and sing
ing, throwing powder and confetti,
blowing whistles and horns, beating on
drums, tin pans anything that would
make a noise. For noise was the para
mount feature of the evening, There
was little music and no dignity in the
racket that made a veritable pande
monium of Main street, but there was
a great deal of enthusiasm and patriot
ism and high spirltH in me noise, ana
everyone was satisfied.
A huge sign witn a aeep norocr in
black adorned tli Ford Motor com
pany's plant Monday. It read:
Closed for the day to atiena tne iu
neral of Kaiser Bill. Interment in
Potter's field."
And the funeral was concluded Mon
day night. For down the street drove
a big float with a nuge DiacK conin
resting on it. The casket bore this
line: ,
"The Kaiser's I-.ast Submarine."
But noise lots of noise was the real
keynote of the celebiallon and every
conceivable type of racket maker was
very much In evidence. "1'ime storeB'
were raided during the day and scores
of small frying nans sold to the cele
brants made ideal castanets. One man
dragged a big garbage can down tin
street to act as a sounding board for
an electric horn. A miniature bathtub
suspended from a polo was carried on
the shoulders of two men who were
armed with huge clubs, imitated a boil
er factory. Two boys who had placed a
wasntuo in a wneeiuarrow nan neaten
that once useful article out of all sem
blance of shape. One man found a lard
can lid in the street and It made a
beautiful racket as he kicked it down
the street. He used the lid for a foot
ball for several blocks.
It was a merry, good-humored crowd
and the man who could make the most
noise was the Ideal celebiant.
An attempt at a systematic parade
was quickly frustrated by the celebrants
for hundreds who had not been counted
In on the parade lineup Insisted upon
marching, and soon the regular parade
dissolved into sections, each sectlin
added to by scores of enthusiasts. But
that was the kind of parade that the
crowds wanted and Ihe crowds ruled
Memphis Monday night. Now and then
a big silken banner of America or
France, Italy or England was carried
by and then only was there a strain of
seriousness In the celebration. For
thousands of heads were instantly
bared and the crowds stood at reverent
attention while the flags went past.
Little Disorder.
But in all the shouting and singing
and boisterous noise making, whereby
the crowds vented their good spirits,
there was little or no disorder. Now
and then the horseplay among a group
or men or noys would grow too rough,
but this quickly subsided.
All of the Joy of victory, however,
did not take the form of grotesque
sound, for at St. Mary's cathedral many
men and women assembled to return
thanks to God for the wonderfully com
plete victory that had crowned allied
arms. All the Episcopal clergymen of
the city aided in the service, but the
nrinelDal address was made bv Rt Rev
Thomas F. Gallor, bishop of Tennessee,
who gave an eloquent review of the
mighty tasks performed by the armies
of America and her allies. He told of
how the Hun monarch and his mighty
war machine had attempted to conquer
a world and how the forces of France,
Kngland. Italy and heroic little Belgium
had held the field until America fin
ally threw her strength into the bal
ance and turned the deadlock into a
victory for right.
The nig'ht's celebration was but a
continuation on a larger scale of the
day's observance of victory. For all
day long crowds thronged Ihe streets,
shouting, singing and making all the
noise that lay within their power. City
hall and courthouse offices closed early,
as did many factories and shops, and
hundreds of workers were added to the
merry-makers. Hundreds refused to
leave the downtown district to go to
their homes for the evening meal and
restaurants did a flourishing business.
At an early hour those who had
gone home returned to the business
section to resume the celebration, and
until long Into the morning hours the
Jollification held sway.
Victory had come and Memphis fit
tingly observed Its coming.
Four-minute men in theaters Monday
night stirred their audiences to wild
enthusiasm by their sneeehes. At
Loew's Lyceum Rev. W. E. Clark, Uni
tarian minister, told his hearers, amid
vociferous cheers, that he wanted to
see William Hohemrollern and his six
sons sentenced to life work in the
depths of the Belgian coal mines as
retribution for their clmes against Ihe
honest and hard-working man.
He warned his listeners to be cau
tious of the German reports that re
publics had been coclalmed in certain
municipalities, until It wns an abso
lutely established fact. He said "the
boys" over there would have to police
the country for several months before
coming home.
Rev. Clark's our-minute talk was
preceded bv a series of patriotic songs,
participated In by the audience, who
rose to their feet and roared forth "Mv
Country. 'TIs of Thee." "Over There"
and '"'.'he Star-Spangled Banner."
Cheer after cheer rang out for presi
dent Wilson and Gens. Pershing, Foch,
Haig, Petain and Diaz, while Loew's
Current Events were portraying In
moving pictures scenes at the battle
front In France.
From a police anHe the night was
also a busy one. Three alleged foot
pads wel-e nabbed by, officers on com
plaint of celebrants, who claimed they
were robbed. Most of the entire day
and night forces were placed on Main
street to direct traffic
Only one accident, however, marred
the enthusiasm on Main street. al
though 500 automobiles participated In

Monday night when a Jackson Mound

PEACE DESCENDS
UPON BATTLEFIELD
WITH THE BIUTI8H ARMY IN
BELGIUM, Nov. 12. iBy the Asso
ciated Press.) Peace descended like a
mantle over the battle front at 11
o'clock yesterday morning. The last
big gun crashed Its challenge and a
great overpowering quiet replaced tur
moil, death and destruction.
Almost coincident with the signing
of Ihe armistice by the desperate en
emy, the city of Hons capitulated be
fore relentless Ilrillsli pressure. I 'ii
this hallowed ground the troops now
are resting on their arms, happy in Ihe
thought of the fitness of (heir final
triumph. They had driven the enemy
out bv the same gateway through
which Field Marshal von Huelow and
Field Marshal von KlUck burled their
great armies against the valiant little
force of "oonteraptlbles" in 1!H4.
The population of Mons today
paraded the streets, cheering madly
their deliveries. Their glad cries must
have reached the ears of Ihe Germans
outside the walls of the town.
Punctually at 11 o'clock the firing
ceased. Fleets of British airplanes
dropped showers of signal lights which
descended with the momentous mes
sage to those below.

BURN LESS LIGHT
The co-operation given by our patrons last night made
it possible for us to furnish light to every home in the
city. Of course the number of people down town was
also a great factor in the reduction of the amount of
power required for residence lighting.
Tonight Is the Critical Time
It will be the test. Burn as few lamps as possible,
and if your lights go out for a moment reduce still
further, for it will be a warning that your circuit is car
rying more than its share, and unless a reduction
comes at once it will be necessary to cut out all lights
on your circuit for the remainder of the night.
To Business Houses
When you close tonight turn out all display and deco
rative lights.' See that your porters in cleaning up burn
as little light as possible. By complying with this re
quest you will help to make it possible to keep light
in your home.
