ted Press in the matter Following the
receipt Of the Simmons Howard and the
Howard cable message, admitting That
the report was untrue, Mr.. Hawkins All
thurzed the following statement:
Yesterdays announcement, of the
signing Of the arrnistice between Ger
MANY and the Allies was made by Nd
miral Wilson at Brest, and was filed
to the United Press with The Admiral
approval This information WAS re-
ccived by the United Press in cable
gram from Roy w. Howard shortly be-
fore noon today.
Practically at the same time an
other message from Howard was deliv-
cred to the United Press, stating that
Admiral Wilson made the announcement t.
in Brest at p M, French time, but
that later he was rotified that 1T was
not confirmable. This latter message
filed by Howard did not show, in the
form in which it WAS delivered, whether
it was sent yesterday, or how long IT
had been he Id up.
WILSON'S PART IN AFFAIR.

that Admiral Wilson acted in good
faith. stating that he supposed the an
nouncemcnt was official and therefore
gave his approval 10 the fling Of the
