MEMPHIS IN UpROAR

Memphis, Tenn, November 7.-Publica- tion in an extra edition of an afternoon paper of report that an armistice had been signed and that the war was al an end. put this city in an uproar. Whis- ties shrieked, bells were rung and horns and other noise-making devices adding to the din. while the streets were taken over by paraders While the Associated Press did not handle the report, news papers receiving it's dispatches were bonn barded with appeals for vertification When an official announcement from Washington was received denying that ar armistice had been signed the crowds quieted but for hours many remained about bulletin boards awaiting late ad- vices.

by newspaper which received the re- port from the United Press
 A question being asked tonight by many Is why the naval censors passed the dis patch for publication if it was not true. The answer is that censors do not pass upon the truth or falsity of dispatches; they are only concerned with whether they contain information likely to be of value to an enemy, or damaging to the entente military forces

CELEBRATION CONTINUED

Nevertheless, all throughout the after noon Washington continued to celebrate. The government departments joined in the panic, how, nobody seems to know Some chief clerk turned his force loose; they passed the word, and soon thou sands of young men and women war workers were In the streets. One depart ment, still held in check had it's equi- librum overthrown by truckload of sol diers passing a window. and it's force rushed out too. The clerks went with or without permission
 Late on the afternoon the city quieted down. but as darkness came on the cele- bration was resumed with renewed vigor The people apparently realized the truth, but were out to celebrate anyhow. They went on the theory that if the Germans had not surrendered today, they were certain to surrender tomorrow. Laughing, horn-blowing throngs passed up and down Pennsylvania avenue, creating din seldom surpassed even by an inau- guration crowd.
 Upon the question of whether the Ger

The state department authorized from time to time during the evening reitera- tons of an official denial issued by Sec retary Lansing at 2:15 D. m. of the false report of the signing of an armistice, which had thrown Washington, with other cities of the country, into an up- roarfous premature peace celebration. Of fcial dispatches added nothing to infor- nation received during the day announc- Ing that the German representatives were approaching the western front.
 MT. Lansing's statement supported by similar one from Secretary Baker, and displayed on newspaper bulletin boards, failed to check the wildly enthusiastic demonstration which started when an afternoon paper appeared on the street with the false story spread across the hrst page in black type. The report spread over the city by word of mouth and telephone, and soon bells were ring ing, whistles were blowing and the streets were thronged with people.
 For time the citizens committees which had planned demonstrations in anticipation of peace within a few days, held their balance and announced their determination to await an official an- nouncement. But excitement on the StleetS roSe to nySlerla, crowds assem- bled before the White House and govern ment buildings, and soon the committees were as wild as anybody and the dem onstration was under way. Floats and banners were paraded on Pennsylvanfa avenue and other broad thoroughfares, bands played and banners were hoisted
 CALL FOR WILSON
 Before the White House a cheering mob surged before the gates calling for "Wil- son." The President left the lunch table to see what it was all about and his appearance on the veranda was the sig nal for an outburst that made the yell- ing of 8 minute before seem tame In response to shouts the President waved his napkin and smiled, but he quickly disappeared within the White House doors, apparently realizing that his pres ence was lending weight to a report of a momentous happening of which the gov- ernment had no confirmation.
 This was before Secretary Lansing's first statement had appeared. Nearly two hours before-at Il a. m.-Mr. Lansing. reported on an unofficial dispatch saying the armistice vas signed, had put ca blegram through on the state depart ment's special wire to Paris asking for statement of the facts.
 Just at 2:04 o'clock the reply came back that the report was untrue; that the Ger mans would not be received by Marshal Foch until six hours after the time the erroneous dispatch had given for the signing of the armistice.

When King George was the Prince of Wales. he was fond of telling a good story against himself in con nection with his visit to Ottawa some years ago.

 On parting the farmer expressed his rough thanks. and asked if he might know the name of the person to whom he was indebted The royal cyclist replied modestly:

to show that Mrs. Roth gave Mrs.

and TO show further that Mrs. Roth
knew OF the sale OF the stock at
$40. 500.
Mrs. Roth testified that she had elm
plicit confidence in Mrs. Frank and
was willing to sign any paper that
Mrs. Frank asked me to sign"
The scene shifted TO Glen Echo
when Mrs. Roth was asked why she
had not visited Mrs. Frank after Feb

When she left the Frank home in

she asserted, to get possession OF the
furniture.
She described to the court some OF
the articles as follows:
