Our infantry was in a hard push this morning and guns were roaring up until exactly 11 oc. Band came out and played and every body hurrahed. one of our fellows grabs a froggie and began dancing to the band music. Every one was yelling, froggies & all - Le Guerre finie. tuit de Suite. Some demonstration it was. In afternoon we had a bath. Church bells ringing all afternoon. Foot getting some better. 105 am train of southern boys thinks our band a wonderful one. Church bells started and I & Perry went over and rang them for 10 minutes, we were all helping, and this evening Wolf, Taylor & Simms went and rang it some more with the boys. Bells are three sizes & 3 tones, are 3 to 4 feet in diameter. Awfully loud. saw big clock in Belfry. was in the priests pulpit and all thru the plaes of the church. quite an experience. It is late & still the bells are ringing. Revolution in Germany. Kaiser abdicated.
