Earliest Possible Word Today

The American government was ad- vised from Paris, late today, cf the re- ception of the Germans by Marshal Foch at 10:30 o'clock in the morning and it's results. Secretary Lansing i'm mediately made the news public at the state department. Later unofficial in formation of the movements of the German courier and knowledge of the difficult roads ever which he must tra- vel for 100 miles after leaving the all lied lines, led to the conclusion that he could not get back with a reply before tomorrow, even if not kept waiting for a decision.
 In the meantime the result is waited here with entire confidence and calm. American and allied military men say the end must come quickly one way or the ether; that if the Germans are un- able to agree among themselves and accept the allied terms, the problem will be settled for them with TO great delay. Some believe that acceptance ! is assured and will be hastened, now that a final effort to quibble, with hos tilities stopped. is ended, on the theory that even the kaiser himself must re- aliZe that unles,, peace is made quickly there will be no government in Ger many to E1ake it.
 Wilson Will Announce News
 Revival in New York and elsewhere today of the premature peace demon strations, started yesterday by the false report of the signing of the ar ! mistice, led President Wilson to direct ! Secretary Lansing to announce that as soon as any decision in regard to the armistice was reached, it would be i made public immediately by the gov ernment and that any statement that news regarding this event was being withheld was utterly false.
 An interesting question was raised by the statement in the report to the American government. on which Secre- tary Lansing based his statement that ! the German envoys came with full powers. Since the delegates did not use full powers, either to sign or re- iect the terms. and instead referred them to grand headquarters, it was re- ported here as certain that they came with the hope of accomplishing some thing more than the signature of an armistice. It was believed their pur- pose was to inject matter which can be considered only at the peace confer ence
 It has been made very clear. how ever. and emphasized today in officia dispatches from France. that Marshal t'och's powers were limited strictly to the drastic military program prescribed by the supreme war council at Yer sailles.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Dr. Matthias Erzberger, head of the German dele gation sent to confer with Marsha toch on the armistice terms, "belongs to the same old gang that tried to put over German defsatist propaganda in Italy and France according to q statement tonight by Alfred l..

 e Grabs 100000 Francs ] While the prince was in Switzerland e in 1915, MT. Becker said, Abbas HiImi . former khedive of Egypt, who was als, g at Lucerne, received 2,000000 mark. f from the German government for prop
