WASHINGTON, Nor. 11. The world-war will end
this morning, at 6 o'clock Paris time. The armUtfcw
was if ned by the German repreaentatirei at midnight.
This announcement was made by the state department
at 2:50 o'clock this morning
The announcement wma made verbally by an official
of the state department in this form:
"The armistice has been signed. It was signed at
5 o'clock a. nu, Paris time and hostilities will cease at 11
o'clock this morning, Paris time.
The terms of the armistice, it 'was announced, will
not be made public until later. Military men here, how
ever, regard it .as certain that they will include:
Immediate retirement of the German military forces
from France, Belgium and Ah ace- Lorraine.
Disarming and demobilization of the armies.
Occsrpation by thai allied and American forces of such
strategic points in Germany as will make impossible a
renewstl of hostilities.
Delivery of ports of the German high seas fleet and a
certain number of rabnarines to the allied and merican
naral forces.
Duarmaroerit of U other German war. under
sup mtimo of the al! 5ec and American i les which will
guard them.
Occupation of the principal German naral bases by
sea forces of the victorious nations,
Releatw of allied and American soldiers, sailors and
cfrQians 'held prisoners in Germany without roch. re
ciprocal action by the associated goreinments.
There was no information as to the circumstances
under which the armistice was signed, but since the Ger
man courier did not reach German military headquarters
until 10 o'clock yesterday morning, French time, it was
generally assumed here that the German envoys within
the French lines had been instructed by wireless to sign
the terms. ;'J
Forty seven hoars had been required for the courier
to reach German headquarters and unquestionably sev
eral hours were necessary for the examination of the
terms and a decision. It was regarded as possible, bow
ever, that the decision may have been made at Berlin and
instructions transmuted from there by the new German
government.
Germany had been given until 11 o'clock this morn
ing, French time, 6 o'clock Washington time to accept,
so hostilities will end at the hour set by Marshal Foch
for a decision by Germany f"r peace or for continuation
of the war.
The momentous news that the armistice had been
signed was telephoned to the white house for trans
mission to the president a few minutes before it was
gfren to the newspaper correspondents. Later it was
said that there would be no statement from the white
house at this time.
