WOMEN WORKERS SERENADE ROYALTY. EX-KAISER UPSIDE DOWN, Hecstved Nov. 13, 10.5 pjn. London, Nov. 12. The rejoicings in London continued far into the night. It rained during the greater part of the evening, but that did not damp the. ardour oi the munition girls and soldiers parading the Strand and Piccadilly with flags, singing and occasionally dancing. One band of munition girls, with Australian and New Zealand soldiers, danced a. set of lancers. The behaviour of the crowds throughout was excellent.
A thousand women workers marched to Buckingham Palace, headed by pipers, and drew up in the fore-court and sang "God Save the King" and "Rule Britannia". The King and Queen came on the balcony, which was lighted by a powerful searchlight, and stood in the rain, bowing and smiling. The response was a roar of cheering. Special films were shown in many of the picture houses. The portraits of the King, President Wilson, the Allied monarchs, Mr. Lloyd George and Ml Clemencean received ovations, the climax being the picture of the ex-Kaiser turned upside down.—Aua. and N.Z. Cable Assoc. j

I hope I may Bay that this fateful morning has come to end all wars. This is no time for words; hearts are too full of gratitude to which no tongue can give adequate expression." He moved: That the House adjourn till to-morrow, and that we proceed to St Margaret's to give humWe thanks for the deliverance of the world from a great peril.
Mr. Asquith seconded the motion, and declared that it was clear that the war was not only ended, but could not be resumed. He trusted that we had entered on a new chapter of international history, in which war would be regarded as an anachronism. Tie House could do nothing but acknowledge its gratitude to Almighty God.-Reuter Servica
