THE ANZACS.
CIVIC INCEPTION. SYDNEY, October 17. Today a. spectacular civic reception was given to a. large number«•!' the original Anzacs and other returned troops. It produced one of the most enthusiastic demonstrations Sydney has seen during the war period. Flowing, but still unpublished, rumours of the Kaiser's abdication and of Germany's complete backdown intensified the demonstration. Immense crowds lined the whole route.
The Lord Mayor's carriage was drawn by a specially selected gun team, and contained the Lord Mayor and representatives of the Federal and State Governments. It led a long procession of flower-decked and flower-pelted troops. A special feature was some guns captured by the Australian Light Horse in Palestine.
