The Hague is convenient for the
British, Belgians and Germans and
can be easily reached by land from
Paris Captain Gillette of the Ameri-
can legation at The Hague came
through by land last week, and hal
safe and easy journey.
Other statesmen prefer q place in
French or Italian Switzerland. such
as Lausanne, Geneva or Lucerne.
They are easy of access from France,
Italy, Austria and Germany. Still
others propose Brussels as being

course, were received or distributed
by the Associated Press which, on the
contrary was able by investigation
conducted through official channels
to establish that the story was a
hoax. The false report however
which not exactly overtaken by the
country it gathered momentum un-
til demonstrations approaching hy-
steria ruled in many cities. Business
was suspended, schools were closed,
bells were rung, whistles shreiked,
prayers were offered in churches,
parading citizens TANNED the streets
and the scenes generally attendant
on New Years eve and election night
were intensified. The New York
stock exchange, as well as the Curb
market were closed at 2.30 p. M.
A market which at first appeared to
be unresponsive suddenly developed
activity which shot up some of the
socalled peace stocks from two to
twelve points. Exchanges in other
cities were similarly affected. Here
follows the cablegram received by
the United Press at its New York Of
fee:
Empress, New York,
Paris; Armistice allies signed ell
even morning: hostilities ceased two
afternoon Sedan taken morning by
Americans. Seward"
Simms (Unipress) is cable code ad-
dress for United Press. Seward is
Roy w. Howard, president of the
United Press, and Simms is William
n. Simms, Paris correspondent Of
the United Press. To grasp the citu-
alton it should be borne in mind that
Paris being to the east Of the United
States is about six hours ahead Of
New York time. Although: it had
been announced thar the armistice
was signed at II O'Clock and that
fighting had ceased at O'Clock, it
was a fact that the German commits
Marshal Foch until five o'clock, three
hours after the hour reported as the
end Of the fighting.
The hoax recalled to the public
other hoaXes that had fooled the
country in times past One was the al
legged discovery Of human beings on
the moon and ,he other was DR..
Cook ir his claim of discovery of the
North pole. A news hoax, however,
more closely parallng today's was
the one perpetrated on the country
a the death Of Pope Plus the tenth.
1t was announced by the United
Press some hours before it occurred
but as the dispatch did not ,speci-
fy the hour and minute great
achievement in giving the news to
the world was claimed. In the pres
ent instance. however, there will be
abundant official evidence to guide
the public. The armistice being a
historic document will bear the hour
and minute at which the signatures
are set upon it and the hour at which
hostilities are to end will likewise be
officially recorded and announced to
the world. No one :an say with Ger
tainty when the armistice will be
signed or when the fighting will stop.
Official proof, however. and the hours
rolling steadily onward are ample
evidence that it was not signed at
II o'clock this morning and that the
fighting did not stop until 5 o'Sock
this afternoon. This report was pub
lished in only two cities Of London
and Brest. France. The London
newspaper later withdrew and print
cd retraction. The publication in
Brcst was by a newspaper which re-
| ceived the report from the United
Press.
