BYFALSE REPORT

Navy cable eensors reported
today that an unofficial message
had come through from abroad
announcing that the Germans
had signed the armistice terms
delivered by Marshal Foch.
No authority was given for the
statement. While it added to
the air of expectancy every
where, officials said nothing ex-
cept an official dispatch could be
believed.
Neither tho American government
nor any Of the allies, embassies or
war missions had been advised even
that Marshal Foch actually had pre-
sented the armistice terms. 1t was
assumed. however, that tho German
envoys had been conducted through
the French lines some time during
the day.
Washington was thrown ipto a
state Of excitement at 1920 o'clock.
when the whistle of q big lumber yard
began to sound on the strength Of
advicesz that Germany had, signed the
allies armistice terms.
"A few minutes later the excitement
was Increased by the appearance Of
an extra edition Of an afternoon

House grounds.
In a short time the crowd was

and waving Of hats, caused much Of
q commotion, and President Wilson
came out on the portico Of the White
House, looked and smiled at the
crowd, waved his handkerchief and
went inside.
The work Of the governmental de-
partments was completely disorgan-
lied throughout the entire city. the
workers swarming the streets max

Airplanes Add to Excitement.
1he excitement was further aug
mented by a group Of about a dozen
airplanes from the local flying fields
circling over the city in battle forma-
ton. At times the planes came so
near the ground that the whirr Of
their engines was heard above the
cheers on the streets. One aviator
performed thrilling stunts, including
the tail dite" and falling leaf"
Automobiles sped up and down the
streets, honking horns and sounding

OLD CANNON BALL IS INCLUDED IN

What do you call this" asked Jack Lund this morning, exhibiting an almost round rock giving evi- dence that it has been rounded by the hand of man.
 After an examination by the staff members the verdict was that it was an old Russian cannon ball. It was dug up from Main Street near the Governors office, where workmen are excavating for sewer repairs.
 It is known that the Russians in early days used rock for cannon balls again the Natives, and the specimen in question has all the ap- pearance of being one. Some time ago Mir. Lund brought to the Empire office an old metal steel helmet dug up in the Lund yard near the St. George House, and the rock now joins the helmet for company for what the boys term "The Empire Museum"
