ARMISTICE DAY.
- ♦ "HEARTLESS MERRIMENT."
LONDON, Nbvember 9
"We're making a mockery of Amis- j tice Day, the most religious thing en- J tering our lives," writes Mr Hannen Swaffer in the "People." "A few" hours) after the great silence, we are asked to join in supper parties served at increased prices by Italian, waiters at West End hotels, where people wear fancy hats and blow squeakers made in Germany, and dance American jazz. I have seen ices modelled from the Cenotaph ! "Why do the English waste on such heartless merriment money needed to relieve thousands suffering from insanity, epilepsy, and incurable injuries contracted on war service, besides hundreds of thousands of widows and orphans."
