LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A MEMORABLE BREAKFAST
Sir,—The long-looked-forward-to day, the dny which is to be the forerunner of perfect peace, came as a glorious surprise to tho many'passengers that went into breakfast on Monday at the Marton rooms. As usual wo all rushed the diningrooms, and found everything ready and the room well decorated with lings. \\ o could not make out why, as we had heard nothing on the station. The '.-alter then sang out in a loud British voice: 'Gentlemen, a message signed by Iho Prime Minister has been received at this station, stating that 'Germany l-as signed Hie armistice,' and that before you partake of breakfast we, as British subjects, should vise and sing 'God, Save tho King.' " Everybody in that dining-room —waitresses, cook, and tho passengers— joined in and finisnod up with three hearty cheers. We then sat down arid had as good a breakfast as could be. wished for, and, of course, everybody in good spirits. Tn years to come we shall all remember that breakfast, and the splendid spirit of tlie waiters at Marlon.—l am, etc., ENGLISHMAN.
