MIXUP OVER MESSAGES

The official source. In France, OF
Thursdays premature peace report was
revealed yesterday by Rear Admiral
Henry b. Wilson, in command OF United
States naval forces In French waters.
He absolved the United Press and APP
parentiy offered to shoulder the blame
| himself
His statement was made at Brest.
FOR the information OF United Press
| editors" He said:
THE statement of the United Press
relative to the signing OF the armlstlce
was made public from my onice on the
basis OF what appeared to be official
and authoritative information. am
In position to know that the United
Press and Its representatives acted In
perfect good faith and that the prema-
ture announcement was the result of an
error for which the agency was in no>
wise responsible"
From the offices OF the United Press.
whence had issued the colossal. IL well
intentioned. mistake that threw the ma
ton into frenzy of JOY for a few wild
hours, came the following explanation
yesterday noon:
Yesterdays announcement OF the
signing of the armistice between Ger
many and the Allies was made by Ad-
miral Wilson at Brcst and was filed to
the United Press with the Admiral's
approval. This information was re-
ceived by the United Press in a cable
gram from Roy w. Howard shortly be-
fore noon to-day.
Hoo, a.. ..N..,, M. g..
Practically at the same time another
message from Howard was delivered to
the United Press stating that Admiral
Wilson made the announcement In Brest
at p. NJ. French time but that later
he was notified that II was not confirm
able. This later message filed by How
ard did not show in the form in which
II was delivered whether it was sent
yesterday or how long it had been
held up.
'Howafd's cablegram clearly showed
that Admiral Wilson acted in good faith.
| stating that he supposed the announce
ment was of. cial, and therefore gave
his approval to the filing OF the message
to the United Press in New York.
THE United Press to-day asked the
Government to ascertain how long How
ards messages stating that Admiral
Wilson authorized the announcement
! and also that he later was notified that
1t was uncomfortable were held up by
the censors.
There was reason 70 believe that the
message stating that the news was un-
conhrmable was badly delayed. in view
OF the fact that II was not received here
until almost twenty-four hours after the
original cableEram."
Howard's cables. which the United
Press says II thinks the censorship must
have delayed almost twenty-cour hours,

KAISER'S HAND is
SEEN IN THE DELAY


about s o'clock Monday morning New
should the terms be refused by the
Germans they will forthwith be with
drawn by Marshal Foch. II IL explained.
This would mean that before the Ger
mans could have another chance to bring
about suspension OF hostilities they
would have 10 make formal application
for another armistice. and their plea
would be considered as separate and
distinct from the present one. The terms
which Marshal Foch would next read to
them would be more severe in all proba-
bility than the present conditions and the
enemy would be made to pay for added
damage done when 1t finally came to
arrangements for peace.
Cant Helldorff OF the German army
is the officer who has been intrusted
with the mission OF carrying the terms
through the French lines to the Kaiser
at Spa. Spa IL about 100 miles north
east of La Capelle, where the German
pariiamentaires crossed the French lines
last night.
Wireless facilities were at once placed
at the disposal of the German delegates
by Marshal Foch. so that they might
communicate with the German High
Command. This proffer was at once
taken advantage of and messages sent
By the Germans were picked Up In the
course Of the day The Germans drafted
their dispatches In open language and
seemed particularly concerned lest there
be delay in getting final instructions
within the seventy-two hour time limit.
Spa is rather difficult to reach speedily
because Of the conditions OF the roads.
1t apparently Is the belief of the Ger
mans that Capt. Helldorff may ind the
trip by roundabout ways longer Than ex-
pected.
Full Publicity Given.
Wireless messages sent by Marshal
Foch to Paris were also picked up and
published abroad, 1t Is noted. a feature
of-the armistice proceedings appears to
De the full publicity given to the step
by step events.
1t may be partly because of this that
officials from President Wilson down
were incensed at reports published to-
day by a news association to the effect
that all news pertaining to the armistice
proceedings was being held up"
At President Wilson's direction Sec
Rotary Lansing issued the following
statement shortly after noon to-day:
II am requested and authorized by
the President to state that no informa-
ticn reaching this Government concern
ing the arm.stice negotiations In France
has been withheld: that any statement
to the contrary is utterly false, and that
as soon as definite decision in regard
to the armistice has been reached II
will Immediately be made public by the
Government"
Interest in the premature report that
the Armistice had been signed and that
hostilities had ceased was confined to-
day to attempting to ascertain how the
mistake was made. Investigation by
ithe Navy Department of the statement
that Admiral Wilson, commanding the
American naval forces at Brest. had
been sponsor for the report showed that
Admiral Wilson had heard it in Brest
and repeated 1t. but without apparently
believing that II was to be made the
basis Of a fiat definite assertion that the
war was over.

"et Ready For The 9TH Liberty Loan
PARENT-TEACHER MEETING

Last Friday evening in the high
school auditorium. occurred the first
meeting of the year of the Parent
Teacher Association. Much credit Is
due to Mrs. Roskie and her efficient
executive board for the excellent O
gram presented and the splendid spir-
IL which pervaded the meeting.
The program vas opened with two
patriotic numbers sung by a chorus
of lusty high school boys. The topic
Of the evening was Better Schools for
~Brookings, a topic of vital interest to
every person in the city.
Mr.. Cheeyer presented the subject
from the parents standpoint. He
urged parents to stand back of the
school and the teacher and to with
hold criticism until facts can be ascer-
tanned from the teacher. He urged
that criticism be made constructive
and never destructive, Thus may our
schools be improved.
superintendent Hargis presented
the theme from the superintendent
standpoint and very briefly gave
those present a glimpse of the com
prehensiye plan of the administra-
ton. He mentioned how the school
is seeking TO meet the individual
needs of each pupil, and ne outlined
the magnificent program he has pre-
pared for instilling ideals of patriot
scrn IN onr ohi1drop
Mrs. Countermine read a most in
spring paper, treating the subject
Of Better Schools for Brookings from
the teachers standpoint. She en-
phasized the Importance of the par
ent's active cooperation with the
teacher in securing good school work.
The solos by Miss Joy Morton and
Mrs. |. B. Johnson delighted the au-
dience. Miss Ruby Olson read 1.-THE
Death Disc" with unusual %interpreta-
ton.
After the program, Mrs. Roskie
asked all present to sign their names
in the s~ecretary's book as members
of the association. She also asked
for suggestions as to topics for future
discussion in order that the Associ-
alton may truly serve all.
The splendid meeting Of Friday
evening augurs a successful year for
the Parent-Teacher Association.

signed by one Joseph Benjamin, who
claimed to be an officer OF the so

The person who was arrested mere
several weeks ago because his solicit
tation of funds for the Armenians
looked suspicious has been placed
where he cannot do much damage for
awhile. The following statement OF
the matter has been given TO the Reg
lister by the states attorney, w. +.

George Johanan. the Assyrian so
licitor, who was arrested in Brook
ings last July for fraudulently solic-
iting funds for the Armenians, was
taken to Watertown last Wednesday,
the 18th of September, and entered a
plea of guilty to the crime of obtain
ing money under false ~pretenses, and
was sentenced to one year at hard
labor in the penitentiary at Sioux
Falls, South Dakota
This man was picked up by Chief
of Police Gullick at the request OF

attorney, by considerable correspond
ence and kilograms found him to be
an imposter. He has numerous ere
dentials, among them being a letter
signed by the governor Of Arkansas,
and numerous other state, county and
city officials. His plan Of operation
was to go to the mayor of the city
where he intended to solicit and Sc.
cure his endorsement, and then go to
the business men for donations. He
claims to be soliciting for the widows
and orphans Of the Armenians, who
had been massacred by the Turks. He
had q letter p~urporting to have been
signed by n Bishop Joseph Avedam

embellished with various fakes; seals,
