UNITED PRESS !.
PUBLISHED !! ], AN N
EXPLANATION
Declares that Admiral Viii.
son Authorized Statement
on Arrnistice.

New York, Nov. s.-The United
Press today published this explana-
ton Of how it came to circulate yes
terday it's report that the armistice
had been signed and that fighting had
ended:
New York, Nov. s.-Yesterday's
announcement of the signing Of the
armistice between Germany and the
Allies was made by Admiral Wilson
at Brest and was filed to the United
Press with the admirars approval.
This information was received by the
United Press in cablegram from Roy
w. Howard shortly before noon to-
day.
Practically at the same time an
other message from Howard was de-
livered to the United Press stating
that Admiral Wilson made the an
nouncement in Brest at p. M,
French time, but that later he was
notified that it 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 and or how long it had been
held up.
"Howard's cablegram clearly
showed that Admiral Wilson acted in
good faith, stating that he supposed
the announcement was official and
therefore gave his approval to the fil-
ing Of the message to the United
Press in New York"

DEBT Limit
AMENDMENT
IS IN LEAD
League Says if This One
Carries, the Other Nine
Will Follow.

Returns from "a counties in North
Dakota reported by county auditors
today, gave the constitutional amend
ments removing the debt limit a
scant margin of 553 majority of all
votes cast for governor. The main
tenance Of the present ratio would
give the amendment margin of
about 1000 as over half the vote in
the state has been reported. Whether
or not the amendments have passed
will be uncertain, In the light of de-
velopments today. until the official
canvass Of the vote from each county
is available.
The vote received by the Public
Debt limit amendment, which is re-
garded as the weakest of the league
proposals, was 29,05O in counties that
cast total vote Of 56,993 for gov
ornor.
For the purpose of obtaining defin-
ite and accurate Information on the
amendment question, every county
auditor in the state was wired for the
vote on the public debt amendment,
that It that amendment carries, all
will carry
The remarkably close count that
has developed, indicated clearly that
1t will take official figures from every
county in the state, both on the
amendments themselves, and on the
total vote cast, to determine the re-
suit. The total vote for governor may
not be the exact total Of all votes
cast, which fact further cofnplicates
the situation SO far as any attempt at
determining at this time just what has
happened.

THOUSANDS OF
CASES OF FRAUD
ARE DISCOVERED
Many of Soldiers Allowanc.
es Have Been Paid Peo-
pie not Dependent.

Washington, Nov. S.-Thousands Of
cases Of fraudulent acceptances of
government allowances intended for
soldiers or sailors dependents have
been discovered by special investi-
gators of the bureau and of war risk
insurance and a campaign of prose-
cution and recovery has been in
stituted. 1t was announced today
that about one-third Of the four hun
dred thousand claiming dependency
dropped Nfrom the rolls when it is
shown that they were not dependent
on a soldier before he entered the
service. There are hundreds Of cases
in which women not the wives of SOL
diers or sailors, are receiving allot-
ments and allowance checks, having
been named bp the men as their legal
wives, while the real wives go without
government aid. Scores Of attorneys
are understood to be under investi-
cation. All persons who received and
cash checks to which they were not
strictly entitled to by law are to be
cut off from their remittances,t forced
to repay the sums they received frau
dulently and prosecuted if criminal
intent is shown.
Information relating to improper
receipt or use of government allot-
ment and allowance 'remittances are
welcomed, it was said and should
be addressed to General Counsel Gu
reau of war risk insurance, Wash
ington.
Twenty-Five thousand cases in
which relatives less closely connected
than wives or children are receiving
checks on account of soldiers in serv-
ice on whom they were not dependent
before the war, are under inquiry
and five thousand Of these are to be
compelled to make refunds to- the

FOCH MERELY
TO DELIVER
TERMS FOR
ARNllSTlCE
80. q
Peace Negotiations Will not
be Entered Into by the
Marshal.

Washington, Nov. s.-An official
diplomatic dispatch from France to-
day emphasized that Marshal Foch is
empowered only to deliver armistice
terms to the Germans and receive
their acceptance and that peace nego-
tiations are not the business Of the
military commander.
Any suspension of hostilities before
the arnistice is signed even If asked
on philanthropic grounds, is declared
to be out Of the question.
"The powers conferred on Marshal
Foch only concern the conclusion Of
an armistice," says the dispatch. 1.-THE
notifications which he is qualified to
grant are strictly limited. Any sus-
pension Of arms even II asked for
on philanthropic grounds is out Of the
question. u
''It is stated that there should be no
doubt that the armistice and the
peace considerations are two distinct
questions. and while Marshal Foch is
duly qualified to negotiate the armi-
stice, the peace negotiations are con-
Germs of the Allied governments.
Marshal Foch, will do nothing
more than communicate to the dele
gates the already prepared conditions
Of the armistice."

MAY SUSPEND
DRAFT CALLS
Possibility that Germany
May Accept Terms Cause
For Action. :,

Washington, Nov: s.-Provost Mar
shal General Crowder called into con-
ference today the heads Of all sec
tons of his office to discuss possible
suspension of the November draft
calls under which more than 100000
men have been ordered to army
With four million men already un-
der arms overseas and at home, the
feeling is growing that no more will
be needed, even though it may be a
long time before American forces can
be recalled from France and some
additional men may be sent over.
While General Crowder would not
discuss what recommendations he
might take to the general staff, it is
understood that his advisers will ad-
vocate warmly withdrawal of the No
vember draft call, at least IL the Ger
mans accept the American and Allied
armistice terms before the movement
to camps begins.
