With fotir million men under arms, at home and overseas, the conviction is growing that, no more men will be needed, even though it will be a long: time before our men can be recalled, and ¢ven more men may bé sent to France.

London, Nov. 8.—The German proposal for an immediate provis- ional suspension of hostilities has been rejected by Marshal Foch. The German delegates arrived this morning at Marshal Foch’s head- quarters. They made a formal demand for an armistice. The conditions adopted by the allies were delivered them. They asked for an immedi- ate cessation of hostilities, which was denied them. i : AMERICANS REPRESENTED. Paris, 11:50 A. M., Nov. 8.—Marshal Foch will have with him during ue armistice conferences an American as wellas a British representa- ive. ‘ i ; (By Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 8.—At President Wilson’s direction, Secretary Lansing issued a statement shortly afternoon that any statement that news reaching the government concerning armistice negotiations was being withheld was absolutely false and as soon-as the agreement was reached it would be made public immediately by the government. An official diplomatic dispatch from France today emphasized that Marshal Foch is empowered only to deliver armistice terms to the Ger- mans and receive their acceptance and that peace negotiations are not the business of the military commander. Any suspension of hostilities . before the armistice is signed even if accepted is out of the question. The German armistice delegation entered into consultation with Marshal Foch at 9a. m., United States time. Announcement was also made that if it is found that the German delegates must refer the armistice to Berlin they will be given seventy- two hours from the time that decision is reached in which to answer. The American government was notified just before noon today that terms, behind French lines, at 9 o’clock this morning, Paris time. It was: from Berlin. Anxiety of government officials today over premat . peace demonstrations started yesterday by the false*report of the sig ing of the armistice, almost equalled the outcome of the armistice. » EV- erywhere it is conceded that the Germans are beaten. Word of the drastic conditions under which the American and allied advance may be stopped is awaited with calm confidence. _ London, (12:36 P.
