> Celebrating the signing of the Armistice. New York City, wild with joy, thronging the streets upon learning that the armistice between the German Armies and the Allied Armies, under Field-Marshal Foch had been signed. This photograph is taken looking up Fifth Avenue. The white spots in the air and on the pavement are not snow but thousands of pieces of paper thrown from the windows of nearby tall office buildings.
