NOVEMBER S. 101 R PRESIDENT 10 ANNOUNCE NEWS of mm E No Delay in Transmission of Events and Mo Ne's Withheld 72 Hours' Time Given German Delegates in Which to Consult Tiieir Govern ments Fiohtina to Continue. VASHINGTOX, Not. 8. -The statement was authorlzr-d at the White !lous shortly after ten o'clock this morning that whenever word came of tin signing of an armistice In France, President Wilson himself would announce It immediately. When thin asHiiranee was given the government had not been advised whether the German armistice dele gation had readied General Koch's headquarters behind the Krench lines where they were expected about noon today, Paris time. f KvaOm Tlfratil No efforts at compromise or eva sion by the Germans is to bf tolerat ed. They must take what the allies and the L'nited Slates offer and lay down their arms or there will be no interruption of the great offensive which is destroying the German mili tary ma hlne. Time is given only for considera tion of the drastic terms by the en voys and for communication by them with Berlin If they desire. In view of the Associated Press dispatch from Paris saying 7- hours would be al lowed. It was assumed here that an additional day had been granted be cause of the delayed arrival of the Germans. Xo Svwh Withheld At President Wilson's direction. Secretary Lansing funned a statement shortly after noon today that any statement that news reaching the government concerning armistti-p ne gotiations was being withheld was utterly false, and that &s soon as a decision In regard to the armistice was reached It would be made public laimedlately by the government. Mr. Iaiisin's statement Bald: "1 am requested and amriorized by the president to slate that no infor mation reaching this government concerning the armistice negotiations In France has been withheld; that any statement to the contrary Is ut terly false and that as soon as a def inite decision In regard to the, armis tice has been reached it will be im mediately made public by the government."

Premier Clfmen eau appeared for a moment last nii-'hi In the lobby of the senate after a sittinc of that body which had de clared him. in traditional phrase, to have "deserved well of his country.' The premier's approac h to th& group of senators lingering after the ad journment was the signal for an ova tion to him. He was speedily sur rounded by a number of the senators, who pressed forward to shake biB hand. "Vuu are the saviour of France!" cried one. "No, no." replied the premier, shrugging his shoulders. "It is the country which has done everything itself." "Thanks to you," the senators rejoined. "No. I assure you," returned the premier. "I have done but my sim I le duty. Any one of you who loves France would have done as much. There are moments when the spirit of France rises within one." Here the premier's voice failed him. Overcome with emotion tne tears coursed down his rugged coun tenance which so many violent storms In the past had left Impassive. Recovering himself he said: "Gentlemen, I thank you. I did not deserve so mti'h honor as you have done me. Let me tell you that 1 am the proudest that you have as sociated my name wi'h that of Mar shal Foih. that great soldier who in the dark "st hour nev-r doubted the destiny of his country, lie has in spired everyone with courage and we owe him an infinite debt." Fully master of himself now the premier went on: "Gentlemen, we now are coming to a difficult time. It Is harder to win peace than to win the war. We must so act that France will resume the place In the world c' which she is worthy. Metre than ever must she gather heraelf up; more than ever must she be disciplined and strong. I have confidence In her." Then pushing his way thru the cir cle the premier said: "Will you ullow me to return to my task?" I POUNDS OF BREAD A DAY AT 01 BAKERY.,; jductivc enterpri-c.
