Fear German Revolt

Washington, Nov. s. - Authorities
here today believed the silence of the
European capitals on the armistice may
be due to the revolutionary movements
in Germany, which will require the
most drastic action to suppress.
It was pointed out that Germany
might well have asked as one consid-
Grafton on signing armisticc terms the
privilege of announcing her action to
her own people before the news was
broadcasted throughout the world.
This course, it was suggested, would
give her an opportunity to take ade.
quate steps for suppressing revolt in
Germany before her capitulation be.

1t has been the openly expressed feal
in allied quarters here for some days
that boshevism might break out in

tiles here say is little more to be de-
sired than Hohenzollernism
Lord Milner, the British war minis
ter, recently warned against the posi-
bility of revolt in Germany and urg

which might carry on into France ant

New York, Nov. S.-Yesterday s an
nouncement of the signing of tho ar
niistee between Germany and the al
lies was made by Admiral Wilson at
Brest and was filed to the United
Press with the admiral approval
This information was received by
the United Press in a cablegram from
Roy w. Howard shortly before noon
today.
Practically t.ta the same time another
message from Howard was delivered to
the United Press stating that Admiral
Wilson made the announcement in
Grest at four p. m. French time, but
that later he was notified that it was
not eonfirmable. This latter message
tiled by Howard did not show, in the
torn in which il was delivered, whethr
ef it was sent yesterday or how long it
had been held Isp.
Howard q cablegram clearly showed
that Admiral Wilson acted in good

nouneement was official and therefore
gave his approval to the filing of the
messages to the United Press in New
York.
The United Press today asked the

I'll Wilson authorized the announce

There was reason to believe that the
message stating that the news was un,
oonfirmable was badly delayed, in view
of the fact that it was not received
here until almost twenty four hours
sitter the original cablcgram. The mes
sages received today from Howard
