Howard, | United Press, made the foremoing | statement upon his return to New York today, after having spent yester- |@ay in Washington, where he con- ferred with Secretary of the Daniels and other government offi- ials, following his return to the United States on a government trans.- port. ““The bulletin whieh Aamiral Wilson gave out, and which the United Press carried, was not # “ry- mor” or a “report’. It was & bulle- tin furnished to the admiral as offi- cial, and so given to us,’' continued Howard. “‘It was given to us for publica- tion by the ranking aotive United States naval officer in Franoce, was no more ground for doubting Ad- Wilson's source of news than there would have been for doubting the statement had it come from ‘Washington. “‘It was about ten o’clock in the morning (French time), when I first learned of a rumor that the armistice had been signed. The report was current in both French and American army circles in Brest when I arrived that morning to embark for the United States. ‘I put in the entlre day endeavor- ing to confirm the report. But it was not until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Admiral Wilson was notified on what he stated was offi- cial authorlty and on what I knew he had every reason to believe was offi- cial authority that the armistice had been signed. ““The announcement had been made by the local Brest newspaper, and the civillans, soldiers and sailors had their celebration under full head- way before I was able to get, president of the Navy his written announcement and his personal assurance that the bulletin was official. ““The admiral then sent his per- sonal aide with me to assist me in filing the dispatch as I do not speak French fluently. “ ‘It was the fact that all Brest, including operators and censors, ao- cepted the news as officlal and was celebrating at the time that caused my wire to pass the French censor- ship at Brest unchallenged. *“‘Upon my return to the United States, I learned that no news had been published here of the fact that celebration of the signing of the armistice took place on November 7 at practically all the army and naval bases on the French coast. “‘I was also surprised to learn that nothing had reached here by cable concerning the fact that all Paris had the report of the armistice being slgned. At the American luncheon club meeting in Paris, on that day, the toastmaster arose, and with Admiral Benson seated on one side of hi mand American Consul Gen- eral Thackera on the other, announc- ed on what he sald was the authority of the American embassy that the armistice had been signed. “All the celebration on that day was by no meanis on this side of the At- lantic. ‘“'Nothing much has yet been said as to the source of Admiral Wilson's formation. This is nat for me to cuss. Nothing has been sald as to the reason for the report current on that day throughout France. No ex- planation has yet been offered of how reached the American embassy In Paris as official. Neither has any explanation bee noffered yet as to what became of the first Ger- man armistice delegation, headed by Von Hintze which was reported to have reached the French lines on Novem- ber 6 and which thea disappeared from the news, being supplaated by the Erzberger plenipotentaries. ‘“‘Some of these matters will cleared up after peace is signed’.” “Howard called upon Secretary Daniels vesterday to express his ap- preciation of the courage and square- ness of Admiral Wilson in furnighing the United Press with a signed state- ment assuming full responsibility for the bulletin which started the won- derful American celebration of No- vember 7.” be Daniels Makes Washington, Nov. 20.—Secretary Daniel's read Roy W.
