couriers tore along the roads today
shouting: "

Marching columns, tired and mud
spluttered, were galvanized into new
life. They shouted, laughed and sang.
I saw several doughboys under full
packs fox trotting in the middle of the
roads, the cheers rang from column to
column.
In the race back to the nearest cable
office I passed many detachment who
had not heard of the armistice. It was

had heard the news and who had not.
Two words "its over" changed
