NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Yester-
days announcement of the signing
of the armistice between Germany
and the allies was made by Ad-
miral Henry B. Wilson at Brest
and was fled to the United Press
with the admiral's approval.
This information was received
by the United Press in a cable
gram from Roy w. Howard short
~ before noon today.
Practically at the same time another
message from Howard was delivered to
the United Press stating that Admiral
Wilson made the announcement in
Brest at 4 p. m. French time, but that
later he was notified that il was not
conframble. This latter message fled
by Howard did not show in the form in
which it was delivered whether it was
sent yesterday or how long it had been
held UP.
Towards cablegram clearly showed
h Admiral Wilson acted in good
faith. stating that he supposed the an
nouncement was official, and therefore
gave his approval to the filing Of the
message to the United Press in sNew
York.
The United Press asked the govern
ment TO ascertain how long Howard's
messages stating that Admiral Wilson
authorized the announcement ana also
that he later was notified that it was
uncomfortable were held up py the
censor. There was reason TO believe
that the message stating that the news
was uncomfortable was badly delayed
in view Of the fact that it was not re-
ceiyed until almost twenty-four hours
after the original c~ablegram. The
messages received from Howard today
were as follows:
"Unipress New York:
