ARMISTICE ANNOUNCEMENT
REMAINS UNCONFIRMED

NEW YORK, Nov Yesterdays an
nouncement of the signing Of an armistice was
made by Admiral Wilson, at Brest, France, and
was filed withthe United Press with the admiral
approval This information was received today
in cable from Roy w. Howard president Of the
United Press. At the same time another message
from Howard to the United Press stated that Ad-
miral Wilson made the announcement at o. M,
French time, but later he was notified that it was
not confirmed. This second message from How
ard did not indicate when it was filed or how long
it was delayed in transmission. HoWards mes
sage clearly indicated that Admiral Wilson had
acted in good faith stating that he supposed the
announcement to be official and therefore gave
his approval to the cable which was given the
United Press
The United Press today asked the govern
ment at Washington to ascertain how long How
ards message, stating the admirals authorized
announcement and later said it was unconfrmed,
were held up by the censor 1t is reasonable to
believe that these messages were greatly delayed
in transmission bcause they were not received
until twntyfour hours after the original cable
gram, even though they were all filed within a
few minutes of each other President Howard
is evidently in Brest now and we will rush sub
