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."

PA It 1 3, Nov. K. 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
