your sensations thru-out the period of suspense before the armistice was signed. Here the thing struck us so suddenly that everybody yelled - and then kept it up. Of course I felt reasonably sure the thing was about to happen but I didn't really admit it to myself because I knew how bitter would be my disappointment if the war continued. One finds it hard to trust the Hun after all these years of cruelty. Even an armistice is only a "scrap of paper" and it has been proven that "in the spring a young Hun's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of barbarism." I wonder where William the Silent really is, these days. We hear he's in Holland, but of course one can't always believe the papers. (Ouch!) Yesterday we all celebrated by having Thanksgiving dinner
