The shipbuilders, per- w-cre the first people in the city laps (start the ceieDrauon. wnen the to i-hitles of every piani in town xat Aipbuilders were on their way to work. and it is quite certain they hev- beiran a day's toil ' with lighter jeart? than were in their breasts yesv. tei-dav morning when the whistles vakeci the town with their tidings of cood news. And those fortunate per ons who didn't have to get out at 6 o'clock to start the day's work turned oVer with a sigh of contentment and went back to sleep lulled by the be.d lam of whistles, or rushed out upon the streets and lifted their voices in celebration of the new day that was dawning;, depending upon their tem peraments and degree of enthusiasm. The shipbuilders were at their posts of duty when work at ths yards was started at 6:30 o'clock, and throughout the morning hours there was never a jollier bunch of workmen. Every man wore a smile and everybody had pay word for his fellow-man. At the Liberty yard the enthusiasm rose to su'i; a pitch that the yard's whis tles were cut loose with every ounce ijf steam thafc could be.. gotten, out of the boiler behind them and blew steadily for an hour and a half. "When ill restraint was removed from the workmen at 11 o'clock and they were ,'eleased for the rest of the day, the Mpbuilders formed a long line of dly shouting patriots and marched he city to join in the celebration, rfsr the rest of the day the Ship ' were the most deserted, 'dullest .- imaginable but the shipbuild ers uid ot allow things to get very dull in. the city. They secured horns, old tin tubs and any other object that could be persuaded to make .any noise and proceeded to raise a din that must have echoed in Germany and made the kaiser Jhank his stars he was out of the reach of these en thusiastic patriots. One cynic, who had failed to catch the spirit of the celebration, was heard to remark that if the people had displayed as much patriotism and enthusiasm during the war as they turned loose yesterday after the war was over, victory would have been won a year ago and the boys "over there" would now be at home. How ever true this may be, the shipbuilders demonstratetL-yesteiday-r-taiit-they Can celebrate a big event as thoroughly and as easnestly as they can build ships for Uncle Sam, and they will undoubtedly be able to accomplish - a tetter day's work today for having worked off a goodly amount of steam yesterday in celebrating one of the bigerest and most significant days the world has ever known. The shipbuilders participated in full force in the giant parade staged in the afternoon. Led by the officials from their vard. thf r.nnn.rntt shin. builders grouped themselves together mi marched in a column four abreast, followed by the steel shipbuilders, inarching in the same formation.

After parad ing along Front street, they marched to the city hall and there broke ranks to hear an duress by Mayor Parker Q. Moore, who was introduced to the men by Mr. Starrett. Mayor Moore, inspired by the greatness of, the day. delivered one of the most eloquent addresses Sheard from the steps of the city hall In many a .day. . "We sent our boys abroad to clip the wings gf the kaiser," the mayor said, "but alas, they let the axe slip and have cut off hia head." WILMINGTON SEETHING WITH GLAD HUMANITY (Continued Prom Page Five). Moore by officials of the Wilmington Trades Council. The mayor called a meeting of labor union officiafs and business men and it was decided to hold the parade. Later the mayor met with business men and outlined the program. r . The parade, which was under the direction of Cept. E. A. Metts and Qeorge Honnet, was scheduled to start at 3 o'clock and when that hour roll ed around the procession started, forming at the city hall and marching north on Third to Red Cross, Red Cross to Front, Front to Ann, Ann to Third and Third to the city hall. There the parade passed in review and disband ed for the speking. By the time the parade disbanded a crowd of thousands had gathered on the steps of the city hall, on the side walk and in the street. In fact the street was packed to standing capaci ty from the entrance to the city hall clear across to. the buildings on. the opposite side of the street and for some distance up and down the street. Following several selections by the "Whitlock-West band. Mayor Moore op ened the meeting with a short but in spiring address in which he impressed upon the people not to lose sight of the fact that thanks should be given Almighty God for the peace that has again . been restored throughout the world after four long years of the bloodiest conflict the world has ever known. He called upon every person, upon the conclusion of the meeting, -to go to their respective homes or places of worship and thank Him Who is alone responsible for the restora tion of peace and for the great vic tories of the allied armies that have resulted in bringing the common foe to" his knees. Following the mayor's address the Invocation was said by Dr. S, Mendel sohn, and a resolution read by Dr. W. H. "Milton, which was adopted by the assemblage without a dissenting voice. Judge W. P. Stacy, whose address came after the adoption of the reso lution, gave an interesting review of the cause of the war, beginning atthe time of the assassination of the Aus trian crown prince and relating each instance of consequence leading up to the declaration of war on Serbia by Austria and the subsequent declara tions. Seeing the impending danger of all Europe being drawn into a deadly war, England and France in tervened -and- tried to avert Austria's hasty declaration of war on Serbia, but without effect and as the result of her hasty action a war was started that has taken a death toll of ten million's and left four millions crip pled for life, to say nothing of the un told suffering that has existed throughout the world, and all because Austria declared war oft Serbia when the latter refused to comply with cer tain demands before she could give due consideration to these demands. He told of nation by nation being drawn into the bloody conflict until more than SO per . cent of the entire population of the world was engaged in it. ' Judge Stacy gave a splendid presen tation of the truth that Right is more powerful than Might. While, he' said, the assembled vnasses were celebrat ing because the allies have won a great victory and prevented the Stars and Stripes being trampled upon, there was a subconsciousness, if not a con sciousness, in the hearts of every one that Right had prevailed and that Might had not been allowed to triumph over Right, that had prompted the demonstration. Judge Stacy declared that the war is not over. The invaded territory -has not been occupied yet. It is true that a great victory has been won, but there is yet much to be done and it is the duty of the American people to see - that they are not robbed of the victory in the reconstruction. Every American should stand at his post un til the final diplomatic victory has been won over the Huns and a true and lasting peace effected. Rev. John Jeter Hurt made one of the most appealing addresses of the afternoon-. In fact so well did it take with the audience that the remark "that's the stuff"' was heard from per sons in the assemblage, and the fre quent applause gave evidence that he had struck a responsive chord. Dr. Hurt told how well pleased he was to be there, adding that there was only one place that he had rather be than in Wilmington. He aid that he recently had the pleasure of hearing Secretary Jose phus Daniels, of the United States navy, speak in a northern city and during his remarks he spoke of how much pleasure it would give him to march up the streets of Berlin escort ed by a U. S. marine band. Dr. Hurt said that is where he would like to be, and while there it would give him great pleasure to stand on the steps of the .imperial palace and to his own people preach the kaiser's funeral. He wouldn't care so much about the band playing such airs as "Lead Kindly Light," but would have It turn to that almost forgotten, "There'll 'be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." Dr. Hurt's address thrilled the mass es assembled. He called attention to the great ' responsibility that is rest ing upon the shoulders of the Ameri can people, regardless of the fact that hostilitieshave ceased. There is de vastated France that the United States will have to help reconstruct. This nation must eed-the war ridden coun tries of Europe and reconstruct, Bel gium, the plucky. little nation that. has suffered most from the war; and even tually, after the war lords have been attended to, the United States is going to be called upon to help feed the Ger man people, and he' feels certain that the patriotic citizens of this nation, which has assumed the Tole of big brother of the majority of the Euro pean countries, is going to come to the rescue of the. starving hosts of the new German republic. There were other short end interest- Iiig talks by Rev. Father C. Dennen, rtr. A. D. McClure. Rev. J.'A-s Sul- PROMINENT JEWS IN " WAR WORK CAMPAIGN TJrge Hearty Co-Operation on the Part of Their Own People and Every body Else Y. M. II. A. Helps. The Young Men's Hebrew associa tion of Wilmington is planning to give active support and co-operation to the united war work campaign this week, and to gain the attention of the Jews of the city issues he following, which shows the viewpoint of the nationally prominent Jews: The united war work campaign vIs eliciting the most enthusiastic approv al from prominent Jews all over the country, who urge its unlimited sup port by American Jewry. Letters pledging active cooperation and gen erous assistance are pouring into the Jewish welfare board from every part of America, indicating a speedy and satisfactory response from the nation at large. Nathan Straus writes: "No person is rich enough to give too much to this great work; no one is too poor to give something. The saying is, 'give till it hurts, but my personal ex perience makes me change it to, 'Give till it feels good! and I know where of I speak. With the success which our brave troops and those of our Allies are achieving, there will not be need of many more sacrifices. So give all you can possibly give, now! A new ra is drawing, an era of united broth erhood, without barrier of creed, re ligion, or color. Only second in im portance to winning the war and mak ing the world safe for democracy' is the spiritual result which is being achieved." Jacob Schieff: "The president has suggested that the raising of the necessary funds for war camp activi ties in the army and navy be under taken as a united effort by Protestants, Catholics and Jews.. This campaign, to be undertaken November 11th to 18th, should appeal to none with greater force than to our co-religionists, to whom it gives the particular oportunity to demonstrate practically the Americanism of the Jew, and his: desire and willingness to sink all sep arateness in matters that concern the wealf our common country. Paul M. Warburg: "The Jews of the United States have vied with each other in pouring out their blood and treasure for the greater glory of the ideals which thrive under the shelter of the American flag. No other race realizes as much as ours the priceless bliss of liberty, tolerance, democracy and equality. Our response to the united war work campaign will give a new evidence of this old spirit." Louis Marshall: "The union of- all these organizations in making a joint appeal to the American people for the funds necessary to carry on their es sential activities is the most inspiring demonstration of a homogeneous peo ple that the world has ever witnessed. It will not only result in securing the means for effective work, but every dollar contributed will help every man who is fighting under our flag for the entire American people. Dr. Cyrus Adler,-president of Dropsle college, Philadelphia, and acting presi dent of the. Jewish Theological semi nary of America: "The Jewish people 0 fAmerica have yet another oppor tunity which they will all gladly sieze, to prove that with their fellow citi zens of all religions 'united we serve.' These woven organizations of war workersare essential to our general military isuccess. They must be sup ported through the long period pend ing comaista-demobllization,- as well as daring jhctual hostilities." Dr. K. Kohler, president of Hebrew Union college, Cincinnati: "It seems as if out of this cruel warfare a new spirit of humanity is evolving. Here is our great opportunity to manifest the broad humanitarian spirit of Judaism; let us not miss it! Let the Jewish Wel fare Board lead in this great Campaign-!" Louis Wiley: "Some of the highest of our commanders have testified to the fact that the war welfare organi zations are absolutely essential to the well-being of our soldiers. Cordial co operation and most liberal contribu tions should be given to the united war work campaign." Gov. Simon Bamberger of Utah: "It is wjth pride that I note the prominent part which the Jews of America, ably represented" by the Jewish welfare board, are playing in this new epoch of the world's history. I am confident that they will not falter In this call to suport the noble work which Is helping to maintain the ideals of man kind." Henry Morgenthau: "American boys of every race and religious beliefs axe fighting shoulder to shoulder in trench and field, and war workers represent ing every faith are working together behind the lines to give the boys home comfort and. good cheer and spiritual guidance. Support of the united war work campaign is -support for our own." Abram I. : Elkus: "Military experts 1 have talked with attribute ,the in domitable spirit of our troops largely to the efforts of the seven great or ganizations which cooperate for the morale and happiness of the fighters. They are as important as the big guns and aeroplanes. Every dollar given to the united war work campaign Is a dollar invested in morale. Let us all stand behind the war workers behind the men behind the guns." Curtis, the latter of the Wilmington Trades Council, who declared that the laboring man has stood behind the "boys" in the past and that he will continue to support them as long as need be. The benediction was said by Rev. M. T. Plyler. Pineaurst Golf Begins. Pinehurst, Nov. 11.
