the papers served by the United
Press that something sensational
may come of it. Admiral Wilson
made the following statement. which
was wired to The News Friday af-
ternoon but reached it too late for
publications:
The statement of the United
Press relative to the signing of an
armistice was made public from my
office on the basis of what appeared
to be official authoritative informa-
tion. l am in position to know that
the United Press and it's representa-
tives acted in perfect good faith and
that the premature announcement
was the result of an error for which
the agency is in no wise responsible. t"
The News subscribed to the United
Press for short time merely to be
protected when the "big news"
breaks and it is not likely that the
service will be continued for any
length of time, though the fact that
the United Press sent out the an
nouncement of the signing Of the ar
mistice prematurely does not oper-
ate against the organization, which
is the largest news distributing or
ganization serving afternoon and
Sunday morning papers in the United
States. 1t has more afternoon
clients than the Associated Press and
serves many of the leading newspa-
pers in the large cities.
The News does not feel called up
on to defend the United Press. 1t
did not print the bulletin which was
sent out Thursday. and therefore.
has no explanation to make for it
self. and this is printed merely thar
the public may have the facts in con-
nection with the matter.

PREMATURE NEWS.

The dispatch sent out by the
United Press Thursday afternoon
announcing the signing OF the armis-
tice by the allies and Germany ap-
parently was sent in good faith. 1t
really was inconceivable from the
first that a big news agency had de-
liberately faxed the news and the
explanation has been made that the
information was officially given to
Roy w. Howard, president of the
United Press, who is in France, by
Rear Admiral Wilson, commanding
the American feet in French wa
ters, and Admiral Wilson says in a
statement which he isseud the fol-
lowing day that the United Press
acted in good faith and was in no.
wise to blame. AS a matter of flct
a short while after Howard sent the
cablegram to the New York Office of
the United Press. Admiral Wilson
found that the statement could not
be confirmed and so notified How
ard. Howard then filed another
cablegram killing" the previous an.
nouncement, and this dispatch was
nst received by the New York office
of the United Press.
Just why the latter message was
not delivered has not been determ-
ined and there Is a hint In some Of

THE END HAS COME.

The abdication of the Kaiser gave
rise to the belief that President Will
sons terms would be fully met with
in the stipulated time, and so, be-
fore the end Of the ~ hours given
by Marshal Foch for an answer, the
answer came with the full meaning
of the end of the war.
The end has come.
There are, of course, many details
yet to be worked out, there is much
to be done before we can settle
down to peace conditions as they ex-
listed before the German war lord
dreamed that he ought to rule the
world, and it will be long time be-
fore conditions will be the same.
But Peace reigns over the world.
The United States has sent more
than 100000 men overseas and
their welfare and safe return to the
homes they left when the call came
for men to destroy Prussianism
that Liberty and freedom may live,
is a huge task. Doubtless the be.
cipated, has not yet been planned and
after a beginning is made many
months will be required to trans
port them. Perhaps the first to go
across will be returned first, and
possibly some of the men now i'm
camps will be sent over TO do gar
rison work and help to rebuild the
devastated Belgium and portions of,
France.
1t was big news that came yes
terday announcing the signing of
the armistice. Had il been carried
simultaneously into every home in
the United States from which a boy
has gone TO the front. it would have
occasioned the greatest celebration
ever known. While it had been ex- !
pected momentarily for days, it was
the biggest news ever flashed over
the wires.
1t meant the end of the greatest
war in history and VICTORY for
the allies.

A POOR SERVICE.

1t is shameful that Lancaster, a
progressive and important city, has
no better mail service than il has.
Sunday, when all the world awaited
news from the scenes of action in
France, no papers came to Lancas er
until eleven o'clock. The early
morning train does not carry mail
on Sunday-just why it does not. no
one seems to know and the train
due at 1O:17 was considerably late.
The Charlotte Observer has some
kind of arrangement for bringing it's
papers in the baggage car. but ii
seems they are left in Rock Hill
almost as often as they are brought
to Lancaster. Such was the case
Sunday.
1t looks like ignoring a thrifty
city but if there is some good rea-
son why the early morning train
doesn't carry mail, The News stands
subject to correction.

He took a vote on the question: Are
they worth supporting" and every
hand In the audience was raised.
He said he was trying to get into the
peoples pockets and made no bones
of it. 'The other day." he said. "a
farmer told me that he had just
given-had just been milked that
morning, and I told the farmer that
every good COW had to be milked
twice a day" He spoke Of the high
prices the farmer is receiving for his
products and said he knew what
cotton was selling for and what corn
was selling for.

muddy, just back from the trenches.

over by some ladies. who were get
ting ready as fast as they could to

sufficient, they hope, until the close

poor little children of France and

garments.
