washington, Nov. Late tonight
- American government had not

\ j 70 take place within the French
&c of S O'Clock this afternoon,

IN nv Secretary Lansing at 2:l5
~ of the false report OF the sign
=. of an armistice which had thrown
Ewosbington. with other cities OF tic
ao,ntrv into an uproarious, prema'
tura neace celebration. Official dis
natches added nothing to information
receiyed during the day announcing
,bot the German representatives were
,nnroaching the western front.
Mr. I,ansing's statement. supported
hv similar one from Secretary Bak'
or and displayed on newspaper bull
1etin boards, failed to check the wild
" enthusiastic demonstration which
started when an afternoon paper ap-
neared on the street with the false
otorv spread across the first page in
black type.
The report spread over the city by
word of mouth and telephone, and
soon bells were ringing, whistles
blowing and the street cars thronsed
with people.
For a time the citizens committee,
which had planned demonstrations in
anticipation of peace within few
davs. held their balance and announc-
ed their determination to await an
official announcement. Bu. excite
ment on the streets rose tC hysteria,
crowds assembled before the White
House and government departments
and soon the committees were as
wild as anybody else and the demon
stration was under way. Floats and
banners were paraded in Pennsylvan-
ia avenue, and other broad thorough
fares, bands played and banners were
hoisted
1t is regarded as possible, however,
that since the German delegates did
not know the terms of the armistice
until they met Marshal Foch, they
might have planned to await at least
a perfunctory word from Berlin be-
fore closing negotiations. With mill
tary telegraphs and wireless at their
disposal little time would be consum-
ed in this reference The Germans,
of course, want no delay in stopping
the American and allied advances.
