Officially announced at the state de

signed armistice terms.
Secretary Lansing authorized tlio
statement that tho (jermnn armistice
delegation would not be received by
General Foch until 5 o'clock this

The secretary's announcement
came' after Washington had been
celebrating for two hours on the

In spite of the fact that officials
did not accept the report as true,
demonstrations persisted. President
Wilson left Ihe lunch tabu to see
from the veranda what was going on
outside and waved his napkin to tho
crowd before the White House gates.
Tho state department was advised
that Marshal Koch would receive tho
German envoys at 5 o'clock p. m.

The unofficial report which started
celebrations had said the armistice
had been s! Jm'd at 1 1 o'clock French
time, or six hours beforo the time set
for the meeting.
Later it was learned that at 1 1
o'clock this morning when tho navy

of inquiry was rushed to Paris und
three hours later brought a reply on

LONDON'. Wednesday. Nov. f
The last davs of the war have been
so crowded with enormous events that
there is no capacity left for surprise;
or sensations. Tho terms of President
Wilson's note to Herman y dealing
with the freedom of the seas and com
pcriMttion to the allies, are indorsed
by all newspapers- hero. It is believ
ed that (icnmiriv knew from the.tcrnis
of the Austrian armistice the sort of
peace she had to expect nnd that her
military and political situations irave
her no alternative hut to bow.
Xews comes from the front that the
hard pressed Herman armies have no
fresh divisions to thrown into the bat
tle. They have no ereat reserves of
ammunition. The Herman people are
demanding peace at nnv price to save
whatever they mav from the wreck
age. From a British viewpoint tho irrcnt
ot humiliation (leruiunv will suffer
will be in bavins her fleet surrender
or pass out of the war without one

Kvcn the best informed men here
are unable to arrive at a clear iudi;-HK-nt,
from the manv eonl'lietintr re
ports as to the msiiinitude of the re
volt niaiti4 war amontr the Herman
people, or how strntiL' is the demand
Cor the emperor's abdication. One
fact is pl:iin there never .was such
frcMom of speech in tiermanv as to

trying to place (lie blame for thtir
country's downfall on the other. Pla

NEWYOKK, Xov. 7 New York i
went wild todav on the unconfirmed
report that Germany had sisrncd the
armistice terms. The Associated
1'ress did not carry the report. On
the contrary, its correspondents in
London nnd Paris continued to file
dispatches reporting the progress of
events respecting the probable arm
istice which controverted definitely
the rumor that truce had been de
clared. The demonstration be&rnn when ex
tra editions of newspapers appeared
on the streets hearing dispatches pur
porting to have been snt from Lon

terms had been signed and would be
come effective at 2 o'clock this af

As late an .1 :20 o'clock this after
noon in Paris, according to dispatches
reeeived bv the Associated Press,
crowds were assembled around tho
war office there awaiting news of
the German application for an armis
tice and it was gcnerallv believed
there that several davs might pass
before a truce would be arranged.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon it wan
officially announced bv the war de
partment in Washington that the Ger
mans had not signed the armistice
terms.
Later Secretary Lansing made an
announcement that the German com
missioners would not be received bv
Marshal Foch until 5 o'clock this af
ternoon and then the Associated
l'ress received another dispatch fil
ed in Paris at 313 this afternoon
saving that four German oificers
hearing the white flag would arrive
at Marshal Foeh's bvuiluutirlers to
