ENTHUSIASM IN NEW YORK
GREATEST DEMONSTRATION THE CITY HAS
EVER SEEN
(Received November 12, 11 a.m.)
NEW YOBK, 11th November;
The city celebrated the end of the war with wholehearted, spontaneous enthusiasm iAlthough the announcement did not appear in the newspapers until sarly morning, crowds of workers and others joined in the greatest demonstration New York City has ever witnessed. The city was rapidly illuminated, and when the whistles sounded the people rushed from their homes until the streets were packed with demonstrators. The scenes of the premature celebrations were largely repeated, with processions and impromptu patriotic meetings. All attempt at serious work was abandoned.
As the day progressed the proportions of the celebration grew, and by noon had reached a tremendous pitch. The city indulged in the wildest paroxysms of joy, which have not been heard or seen before.
