Early
news
that
the
Japanese

had
accepted
the
Allied

was
the
signal
for
a
wild
victory
celebration
in
Victoria,
last
night.
Dockyard
workers,
sailors
and
residents
of
the
huge
naval
base
of
Esquimalt
started
the
riotous
celebration
by
cheering
and
milling
through
the
streets.
The
celebration
was
picked
up
qulcTcly
in
downtown
Victoria
and
the
streets
rang
with
cheers
and
the
honking
of
automobile
horns.
