ARMISTICE REJOICINGS IN LONDON,

London, Nov. 17.

The armistice rejoicings in London came to a climax with wonderful scenes resterday. Buckingham Palace was the centre of attraction during the day. Various processions ended there...

One of their banners was inscribed" "We want no Bolshevian govern- ment" Their Majesties were cheered tumultuously on returning from Albert Hall. The West End was impassable. There were crowds of dancing revellers in the evening: many in fancy dress. The Ministry of Munitions provided a safety valve by giving a fireworks display in Hyde Park, Good humour and orderliness were the prevailing charac- teristics of the revellers.
