THEY CELE BRATED !fi FRINGE HARRY WINSCOTT TELLS HOW THE MATTER WENT THERE AS WELL AS OTHER PLACES EOPLE GLAD WAR IS OVER Was In Hospital For c. Few Days But Is Out At This Time. From Monday's Dally. The following letter written the day following the peace celebration here, tells of how the people took the news in France, where he was and Harry gives a good description of the way the signing of the ar mistice was received: Somewhere in France, November 12th. IMS. Dearest Mother, Father, Sister and Brother: Received two letters from home in" the last' two daj's, and was sure, glad to hear that everyone at home was well and having a most enjoy able time when the letters was writ ten. I am not in the hospital at this time, have been out for five days, and am feeling fine. My other ton sil is slightly affected, like the one I told yo uabout when I was in the hospital. It will on:y be a couple of days now until I will be all o. k. My tonsil I meant to say. We had a big celebration j-ester-day. We mean everybody in this town, where I am. We got news about noon that peace was declar ed and everybody was celebrating, a city of nearly a million inhabit ants, so you can imagine how things -were. The streets, were so crowded that one could hardly move, with everybody singing, yell ing etc, doing everything imagin able in the line of celebration. Old and young were grabbing each oth er and hugging and kissing each each, especially the soldiers. I got my share, I'll say that much. The street cars had to stop running. You would be walking along and meet a bunch of girls all having their arms locked together, and if you got by without being kissed you were pretty slick. When it first started the Americans thought it great fun, but towards evening they began to shy away, thinking they had enough, I guess, I know I did. We - had liberty yesterday after noon and are off all day today. I suppose it is the same all over France, and in fact in all the al lied countries, it may not be as bad as here, but I'll bet things are surely lively. By bad, I do not mean anything wrong is being car ried on. I'll stake a wager that the peo ple in the good old U. S. A. were all celebrating to'the greatest, although they hadn't had as long a trial as most allied countries. I had a letter from Ruby yester day, written October 19th she seems to be getting along just swell, not complaining in the least, and seems to like the school she had this year better than the one she had last year. With love to all the home folks, I am, ' Your son and brotehr, PVT. HARRY W. WINSCOTT, Address Co. P. 35 Regt. F. C. Am. E. F., A. P. O. 752. France.

Koop of Louisville who went last, spring to the cantonment and later to France is reported as being wounded severely, some time since and was taken to a hospital in England according to a letter which he had written to his wife.

The letter told cf the shot being in the knee, and as that would prevent him being of service again soon, he was sent to England to recover, and as being nearer to be sent back to Aruerca.
