VICTORY ANNIVERSARY
OBSERVANCE IN SYDNEY SERVICE AT CENOTAPH (Rec. 10.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, Aug. 15. While noisy traffic continued to roll by, 3000 people took part to-day in a service at Martin place cenotaph, commemorating Victory Day. There were many women in mourning who sobbed as the Eastern Command Band played hymns. The service was conducted by the senior chaplain of the A.I.F. in Malaya, the Rev. M. K. Jones, who said that peace could come only by the exercise of those qualities which won the way out of the war. Such a period of post-war hysteria as that experienced in the past 12 months was to be expected, but the time had come for sanity to re-assert itself.
