that they had elected members

Although press dispatches stated that
Nugent, Democrat, had been elected on

the Republican had been elected, to

Armistice News
With Greatest
Abandon of Joy
The Journal's Extra Is Eagerly
Read With Its First Word of
End of Great War.
- Portlands
tieard the 'news of hs
armistice with mighty . acclaim this
morning. -Whistles along the waterfront
and bells and sirens were shrieking
within a few minutes after the word got
to the street In The Journal's special
extra. Impromptu parades were formed
and a band mobilised somewhere to
add martial music to the general re
joicing. Portland got the news with a jump
of the heart got it with radiant hap
piness and with more smiles in an hour
than Portland has smiled since the war
began.
How. the newsboys scattered ! How
the papers fluttered from hand ! The
United Press. The Journal's service, had
beaten its rlvaf, the Associated Press,
by 28 minutes 28 wonderful, thrilling
moments. '. Every minute was worth
more than diamonds. Every minute
helped fUl more full the cup of com
munity 'happiness.
Silence at first : Intent reading of the
lines. Then strangers smiled at each
other, shook hands, bemoaned the
weakness of words and shouts even to
hint their feelings.
Tfewa Spreads Like Wildfire
, The chimes up on The Journal's
tower began to ring incessantly.
Church bells took up the carol. The
Liberty loan siren caught the not.
Down on the waterfront the shipyard
whistles began to blow and the ship
sirens to scream. Across the city like
a flood of light spread the wonderful
news.
Telephone switchboards became sud
denly congested. The appeal to lighten
the telephone traffic was forgotten.
Men called up their families. Friends
exchanged happiness across the city,
in spite of lnfluenxa and every other
cause for depression, the spontaneous
celebration grew. There was never an
other day like it. Humanity is free.
Right is might.
As soon as the news had reached'the
upper floors of the Lipman, Wolfe &
Co. store, the balconies facing the Teon
building were crowded with clerks, who
waved American and allied flags and
cheered the soldier workers in the army
headquarters across the street. At this
the soldiers left their desks and went
to the windows where they returned
the greeting with a huge cheer.
Soldiers .Parade Streeta
They were immediately excused from
work and soon the stpeet in front of
the Yeon building became the .as
sembling place for a small regiment
of boys in uniform and they then
started to parade in college lockstep
fashion up and down the streets. A
city official, however, drove up and
requested the boys to disband as their
celebration was creating . a crowded
situation on the streets, which was
directly in violation of the health de
partment rules for prevention of in
fluenza. "You'll have to pay your fare to Ber
lin" was the taunt hurled at one nifty
young officer, down on Broadway.
"Well," he answered. "I don't care If
I do. That's the place I Intended to
reach when I enlisted, and If I don't go
there fighting, you bet Itn going to get
there celebrating."
. A youthful sailor who was helping
"Doc" Cornelius distribute united war
work campaign posters was just a little
bit more to the point. "Hell." said he.

the kaiser. I should worry-"

The United Press message announcing the signing of the armistice and the cessation
of hostilities was filed in Paris late this afternoon, undoubtedly considerably later than the
message received by the state department.
Official advices here stated that the commissioners at the front were to meet lata
this afternoon. This fact checked up with the transmission of the United Press
cablegram which, passed by the censor in Paris, showed that there was sufficient time
for the cablegram to have reached New York at noon, New" York time, when it was re
ceived and passed by the naval censor in New York.
