"The ---- Chamber of Commerce have certainly made a capture in
securing the services of Bragadier-General ----, District Director
of the Ministry of Labour, for an address on 'Demobilisation and
the Activities of the Appointments Department of the left eye,
and after treatment was taken the Portsea Island Gas Company
offices."--_Provincial Paper_.

"Arrangements are being made in all the stations throughout India
for the celebration of the signing of the armistice. In Simla the
Commander-in-Chief will be present at a parade on the Ridge
at 11.45 a.m., civilians in leaves dress assembling at
11.30."--_Times of India_.

It is pleasant to note that the establishment of the armistice brought
about an immediate return, in Simla at least, to the conditions of
Paradise.
