FRISCO GOES WILD

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-San Francisco and other large Pacific coast cities staged premature peace celebrations today on reeepit of false reports carried by stock brokers wires and news agencies other than the As sOciated Press. The demonstrations died of hamilton, however, when ac- curate press dispatches were received declaring that peace was still in the future and that the allied and Amer ican armistice conditions had not even been presented to representatives of the German high command.

 The documents published tonight follow:
 There was received the seventh of November at 12:30 a. m. the following from the German high command by or der of the German government to Mar shal Foch:
 "'The German government, having been informed through the president of the United States. that Marshal Foch had received powers to receive accredited Representatives of the Ger man government and communicate to them conditions of an armistice, the following plenipotentaries, have been named by it:
 Matthias Erzberger, Gen. H. K. A. Winterfeldt, Count Alfred Won Obern- dorff. General Won Gruenell and Naval Captain von Salow.
 "'The pleinpotentiaries request that they be informed by wireless of the place they can meet Marshal Foch. They will proceed by automobile with subordinates of the staff to the place thus appointed
 Orders were given to cease firing on the front at o'clock p. m., until further orders.
 "On November at 1:25 a. m., Mar shal Foch sent the following to the German commander:
 "'If the German plenipotentiaries desire to meet Marshal Foch and ask him for an armistice they will pre- sent themselves to the French out posts by the Chimay-Fourmies-L pelleGuise road. Orders have been given to receive them and conduct them to the spot fixed for the meet ing g.
 "A German wireless dispatch re- ceived November at l p. m., said:
 " German general headquarters to the allies general headquarters:
 "The German commander in cheif to Marshal Foch:
 The German plenipotentaries for an armistice leave Spa today They will leave here at noon and reach at o'clock this afternoon the French outposts by the Chimay, Fourmies, La capelle and Gdise road. There will be ten persons in all, headed by Sec retary of State Erzberger.'
 The message announced that the German plenipotentiaries would arrive at the French Outposts on the Chimay- Guise road on Thursday between s and 10 o'clock in the evening.
 The mission is headed by Matthias Erzberger, secretary of state and head of the war press department and in- cludes Gen. H. K. Von Hinterfeld, for mer military attache at Paris; Count Alfred Won Oberndorff, former minis ter at Sofia; General Won Gruenelle and Naval Captain Won Salow.

but he quickly disappeared within the White House doors apparently realiz- ing his presence was lending weight to a report of a momentous happening of which the government had no con firmation.
 On the question of whether the German delegation is empowered to act without communication from Der lin, regardless of what demands are made in the terms offered by Marshal Foch, depends whether an immediate cessation of hostilities may be in sight.
 Marshal Foch is fully empowered to act for the entente allies and America for the supreme war council at Yer sailles already has laid down the terms and no changes are to be tol- erated. It has been assumed, based on the usual practice of negotiations in agreeing upon an armistice, that the Germans also are fully empowered to sign for their government.
 It is regarded as possible that since the German delegates did not know the terms of the armistice until lucl mcl MdTSudl fOCu they uiSnl have planned to await at least a per functory word from Berlin before closing the. negotiations. With mill tary telegrams and wireless at their disposal little time would be con sumed in this reference.
 There is reason to believe that in a despairing hope of retaining some shadow of control over the future government of Germany, no matter what form that may take, the kaiser and the military leaders will insist that the reichstag, representing the German people, assume full share of responsibility for the humiliating armistice and peace terms which must be accepted. For this reason the official view here is that the armis- tice commissioners would go through with the form of communicating with their government
 The inclusion of General Winter feidt and other members of the Prus- sian military class among the German envoys attracted attention here
 General Winterfeldt was a military attache for Germany at Paris before the war. It was recalled today in September, 1913, he was severely in- jured in an automobile accident at Griselles.

paper dispatch which was NOT car ried by the Associated Press.
 Later dispatches from Washington and London officially announcing that the armistice had not yet been signed failed to halt the crowds surging through streets white with tons of scrap paper thrown from office build ings.
 All departments of the city hall, courts, stores, offices, munition plants and factories closed and their workers turned the downtown section into carnival Waste baskets and drawers filled with bits of paper emptied from windows filled the air.
 At one place 200 gallon casks of wine were placed in the street and everyone was invited to drink to the death Of the kaiser. A shop which closed for the afternoon displayed a mourning wreath with the sign: "The kaiser is dead" One parade was led by figure in chains representing the kaiser.
 The Chicago Opera company was re- hearsing when Belgian tenor. rushed in crying: Stop, stop, peace has been declared" Director Campanini or dered the orchestra to play the Star Spangled Banner and national anth- ems of the allies. Rehearsal was ad- journed and the singers joined in the street celebration.
 At many points the police were forced to use their clubs to control the crowds and several persons were injured. Fearing that conditions might become worse after nightfall, police reserves were called into the down town district.
 Despite the denials which quickly followed the reports of peace the dem onstration continued in all sections of the city for several hours although rain, which began late in the after noon dispersed the crowds downtown causing a serious traffic congestion on elevated and surface lines.
