"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_. We had heard there was some trouble over demobilisation, but had no idea it was as bad as this. * * * * * "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. * * * * * [Illustration: RUINS OF EMPIRE.
