- i!.. information as to the circumstances under which
was signed, but since the German courier did not reach
German military headquarters until 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
French tjine, it was generally assumed here that the German envoys
within the French lines had been instructed by wireless to sign the
terms.
Forty-seven hours had been required for the courier to reach
headquarters and unquestionably several hours were necessary for
the examination of the terms and a decision. It was regarded as pos-sible,
however, that the decision may have been made at Berlin and
instructions transmitted from there by the new German government.
Germany had been given until 11 o'clock this morning. French
time, (! o'clock. Washington time, to accept. So hostilities will end
at the hour set by Marshal Foch tor a decision by Germany for peace
or for continuation of the war.
The momentous news that the armistice had been signed was
telephoned by the White House for transmission to the President a
few minutes before it was given to the newspaper correspondents.
Later it was said thai there would be no statement from the White
House at this time.
The armistice terms signed by Germany and under which hostil-ities
will end at C o'clock this morning. Washington lime. 11 o'clock
Paris time, will not be made public by the state department before
JS o'clock this morning, this was stated official!?.
London. Nov. 9.— (British Wire-less
Service.)—A German wireless
received in London this afternoon
states:
"The German Imperial Chancellor.
Prince Maximilian, of Baden, has is-sued
the following decree:
" 'The kaiser has decided to re-nounce
the throne.
" 'The imperial chancellor will
remain in office until the question
connected with the abdication of the
kaiser, the renouncing by the crown
prince of the throne of the German
empire and of Prussia and the set-ting
up of a regency have been set-tled.

M.)—The former German emperor's
party, which is believed to include
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg. ar-rived
at Eysden, on the Dutch fron-tier
at 7.30 o'clock Sunday morning,
acQording to Daily Mail advices.
Practically the whole German
general staff accompanied the former
emperor, and 10 automobiles carried
the party. The automobiles were
bristling with rifles and all the fug-itives
were armed.
The ex-kaiser was in uniform. He
alighted at the Eysden station and
paced the platform, smoking a cig-arette.
' Eysden lies about midway be-the
people of the imperial party. On night and a violent cannonade was
the whole, the people were very
quiet but Belgians among them yell-ed
out "En voyage!'"
Maximilian's Statement.
London, Nov. 9.—The text of the
chancellor's statement reads:
"In these difficult days, the hearts
of many among you, my fellow
countrymen, who outside the fron-ties
of the German fatherland are
surrounded by manifestations of ma-licious
joy and hatred, will be heavy.
Do not despair of the German peo-ple.
"Our soldier:, have fought to the
last moment a» heroically as any
army has ever done. The home-land
lias shown unprecedented
strength in suffering and endurance.
"In the fifth year, abandoned by
its allies, the German people could
no longer wage war against the in-creasingly
superior forces.
"The victory for which many had
hoped has not been granted to us.
But the German people have won
this still greater victory over itself
and its belief in the right of might.
"From this victory we shall draw
new strength for the hard time
which faces us and on which you al-so
can build."
Revolution Rampant.
The red flag of revolution Is wav-heard
from the heart of the city.
The revolution is in full swing in
Berlin and the red forces occupy the
greater part of the German capital,
according to a Copenhagen dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph Com-pany,
quoting Berlin advices sent
from there at 3 o'clock this morn-ing.
The crown prince's palace was
seized by the revolutionists. The
people shouted "long live the repub-lic"
and sang the "Marseillaise."
When revolutionary soldiers at-tempted
to enter a building in which
they supposed a number of officert-were
concealed, shots were fired
from the windows. The reds then
began shelling the building.
Many persons -were killed and
wounded before the officers surren-dered.
The red forces are in control
and have restored order. Strong
guards marched through the streets.
When the cannonade began, the peo-ple
thought the reich6bank was be-ing
bombarded and thousands and
thousands rushed to the square in
front of the crown prince's palace
It was later determined that other
buildings were under fire.
