Editorial,
How rapidly things change ! Our last issue was printed with the war still raging; this number is sent out while we are thankfully realizing the armistice. One of our correspondents wrote : " I quite agree with you as to the wonderful end of the war, and had a strange belief all along that God wanted Himself to put an end to it, and make us feel He had said, ' Thus far, and no farther.' " And surely we all feel that God’s hand was present in the way hostilities ceased!
Many thanks to all Old Chefooites who have so generously helped by donations and paying back subscriptions to reduce the debt. We are not quite clear yet, but we are sure that we soon shall be. A look at the Treasurer’s statement will cheer us all, and also perhaps stimulate us to further efforts. One of the best ways of helping is to secure new members; so, if you know any Old Chefooites who are not members, try...”

“...reached Chefoo on the morning of November 12th.
Mr. McCarthy formally announced it from the rostrum. Afterwards the three schools and all the foreigners on the compound gathered round the flagstaff and sang the Doxology. Mr. Coulthard and Mr. McCarthy led in thanksgiving to God for the wonderful news that had been received, Mr. McCarthy especially returning thanks for the courage and patriotism of those who had laid down their lives iii the terrible strife, and remembering those who had been bereft.
In the evening there was a big procession from the Settlement to the recreation ground, and here there was a big bonfire, and heaps of fireworks kept things lively. At last everyone gathered round the bonfire and sang the Doxology, all the National Anthems anyone knew, and cheered the Allies, representatives of all of whom were present.
The entire Boys’ and Girls’ Schools were there, and some of the “ prepites," It was an occasion that will long live in the memory of all who took part.

CHEFOO
Dear Editor,
In reading the last number of “ Chefoo ” I found many names familiar to me six years ago, when I left Chefoo.
I enlisted in the U.S. Naval Radio, and became a deck officer after months and months of hard work and close study in schools and on training ships. But it seems 1 was not cut out for glory, for before a single hostile submarine greeted my expectant eye the armistice was signed, the Hun surrendered his ships ! We did see three Hun submarines—two in the Downs and one in the Channel—but all three were securely fastened to the far end of a towline, and had a real flag flying above the Hun emblem. There was a little affair with the mines, and 1 observed that a mine destroyed in the proximity of even large ships can give them a distinct jolt.
I feel like a tourist more than anything else ; so I’d like to congratulate the Old Boys who have had a chance to pay the price—for you have gained that which is priceless, and cannot be gained at all in peace time.
Yours...”
