oENlALS FAIL TO

Riotous Demonstrations in Many
citiss az Result Of Uneonfirmed
News Dispatches - President OF
United Press Gables From France
Report Of Signing Armistice.

New York, Nov. s.-False reports
that Germany had accepted the terms
of the armistice and that fighting had
ended threw the country into de-
lirium Thursday and turned out to be
the greatest hoax Of recet years.
Official assurances that the report
was false failed to check the almost
riotous demonstrations which swept
over many American cities.
A dispatch cabled from France to
the United Press by it's own president
Roy W. Howard, and picked up and
circulated thru the country by another
news agency declared the armstce
signed at IL o'clock Thursday morn
ing and fighting ended at O'Clock
Thursday afternoon.
U. S. Troops Still Fighting.
Official dispatches from France TO
the state department at Washington
testify that the German commission
ers were not even to meet Marshal
E'och until 5 o'clock Thursday after
noon and dispatches received Thurs
day night from the American army on
the Sedan front showed that at $50
D. nj. the troops still were advancing.
Here follows a copy Of the cable
gram received by the United Press at
its New York office:
"Unipress, New york-Paris: Armis-
tice allies signed II morning. hostili-
ties ceased afternoon. Sedan taken

Note Difference in Time.
To grasp the situation it should he
borne in mind that Paris. being to the
east of the United States, is about Sin
hours ahead of New York time. AL
tho it had been announced hat the
armistice was signed at II o'clock and
that fighting had ceased at , o'clock,
it was fact that the German COM
missioners were not to be received by
Marshal. Foch until o'clock. three
hours after the hour reported as the
end Of the fighting.
In some quarters here the cabled
announcement was pronounced the
most colossal fake ever perpetrated
upon the American people"

GOOD JOKE PLAYED
ON AN ATLANTA MAN

ATLANTA, Ca, June 1S.-An At
lantian who had gone to New York on
business telegraphed a friends to get
his automobile and meet him at Brook
wood Station, on the Southern rail-
road in the northern suburbs of At
lanta. The friend made haste to get
the car, naturally expecting that the
Albanian was coming home loaded
with several suit cases filled with the
stuff that no longer can be bought in
Georgia. To his complete astonish-
ment and disgust, the returning trav-
eler brought home nothing but the
remnants of one lone quart. When the
friend demanded an explanation, he
told narrowing hard luck story. In
stead of buying the liquor in New York
he decided he would stop off at Wash
ington and get two dozen quarts out Of
a supply which he had cached" in the
basement Of Washington friends
home before the National capital went
dry. But when he rang the door bell
of the friends home he found that
the Washington man was out of the
city with his whole family, so he had
to come on back to Atlanta as dry as
a bone.

SYNOPSIS OF COURTS
 EIGHT-H0UR DECISION

la the United States District court, Judgs c. F. Bunnel rendered decision in the case of the United States for the Northern Commercial company, which is generally known and spoken of as "The Eight Hour Law Case. v He held that the general eight hour law passed at the 1917 session of the legislature as unconstitutional, in vio- lation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and beyond the scope of the authority given the legislature by the enabling act of congress, under which the leg islature came into being.
 The decision covers r pages and 1t took the judge three-quarters of an hour to read it. The courtroom was was filled with spectators, men from all walks in life, all interested in the out come of the case.
 After citing the statute, quoting tho demurrer, Judge Bunnell went on:
 'It is elementary that the language used by the legislative bodies in en- bodying their ideas into law should be clear uuequivocal and free from am- biguity. Everyone is presumed to know the law, and in order that the fact may support the presumption, words should be used in their generally accepted sense. Although ably assisted by counsel in this case confess myself unable to find, and counsel are unable to prodnce any act of any legislative body in the United States which, from the standpoint of words use and word construction, belong in class with the act. It is fairly entitled to the unique distinction of being alone, though in multitude.
 The court then starts with the word employment, as used in the act which was used in way never before known in any dictionary or law book. He then points out the importance of that word.
 The court then went into lengthy discussion of many cases of & somewhat
