Tie old Limestone City, historic for many things, has held celebra- tions and celebrations, but that fol- lowing the news of peace "took the cake," as the small boy would say. Kingston went wild -with joy during the day, but the civic demonstration on the Market Square in the evening formed a most fitting climax to the day's proceedings. The "big noise" started after tea time, and it was a very late hour when it ended, and the citizens tucked themselves in bed, very tired but happy. Monday, November 11th, , 1918, will be a 'red letter day" on the pages of Kingston's history. Men, women and children alike joined in the festivities, and never before has the city been so stirred. Kingston celebrated in royal fashion, and the day will be one never to be forgot- ten. The market square was the scene of the "big doings" in the civic cele- bration, and long before 7.30 p.m. the hour appointed for the pro: gramme to commence, the square and the surrounding streets were jam- med with people. And every ono was happy. Every one wore a smile. They came with a smile, kept on smiling, and went home with a smile. What a wonderful old world this would be if the people could just go on through life smiling like this all the time ratioa consisted hymns, band selec- war moving with which British sol.

Prayer was also offered for those whe had been wounded, and who were in ill health as a result of the great con- fliet. Following the prayer, the bands played the hymn "0 God, our Help in Ages Past," and the vast assemblage joined heartily in the singing. Mayor Hughes then gave the open ing address, and he waa loudly cheer ed ag he was about to speak. "This has been a great day in the city of Kingston," said His Worship, and there was another outburst of applause as he continued. "It has not only been a great day in Kings- ton, but throughout Canada, the United States, and in all the conn- tries that formed the Allies. And why not? We have been looking for this day during the last four years. Now it has arrived, and we are possessed with a spirit of thank- fulness. And why not? And while we rejoice, we also mourn for the dear ones who gave up their lives in this-great struggle, and whose graves are now marked with wood- en crosses in Flanders fields.

There - was but one thought in the minds of all the peo- ple congregated at. this celébration, and: at the celebration: elsewhere, and that was the overthrowing of mititarism, At the opening we did not realize the meaning of a war. And now the thanksgiving for peace means what it could not mean four years ago. We wers thinking about those who could not come hack, and we honored those who had given up their lives in the great struggle, "Thank God 'we did not know how to makg war," added the speaker "But-wesentered into this war, no matter Row great the sacrifices we might be called upon te mhke.

Men have been willing to make sacrifices, and they will do so again, We have heen living in veara of sacrifice, and we will now live to bufld up a g ee country.
