LANSING DENIES
HUNSSIGN TRUCE
[Continued from First Pago.]
had come to any branch of
the government or to any
of the Allied embassies or
war missions and diplomats
• as well as members of the
gpvernment declined to be
lieve that their channels of
information had failed so
* signally.
Then came Mr. Lansing's
announcement. That was
slower to circulate than the
premature report, and dem
onstrations continued for
hours. 3.30 o'clock Wash
ington time is approxi
mately 8.30 p. m. in France.
Captain Pratt, acting chief
of naval operations, author
ized the statement at 3.45
o'clock this afternoon that
the Navy "had received no
official information what
ever of the signing of an
armistice. This was in de
nial of persistent reports
that he had given out such
information.
In answer to a question
at 4 p. m. as to whether the
War Department had any
confirmation of the report
that the armistice had been
signed, Secretary Baker
said:
Baker Has No Word
"We have no confirma
tion. So far as the War
Department is concerned we
are wholly without confir
mation on the subject and
the information that we
have is that the commis
sioners when we last heard
of them were on their way
to Marshal Foch's head
quarters and it would seem
hardly probable that the
meeting could have taken
place at the time the an
nouncement was first made.
The minute the War De
partment has any authori
tative news on this subject,
I will give it out at once."
Secretary Lansing at 4
o'clock this afternoon made
public the following state
ment:
Lansing's Statement
"The report that the arm
istice with Germany had
been signed is not true.
When it reached the depart
ment this morning an in-
, f) quiry was at once dispatch
to Paris. At 2.04 o'clock
this afternoon a telegram,
in reply to that of the de
partment was received from
Paris. It stated that the
armistice had not yet been
signed and that the German
representatives would not
meet Marshal Foch until 5
p. m. Paris time, or 12 noon
•Washington time."
Garfield Recalls Order
Information reached the
fuel administration to-day
that the lightless nights
would be suspended in New
York to-night by the fuel
administrator there on the
strength of unconfirmed re
ports that the war had end
ed. Orders were given that
there- should be no suspen
sion of the regulations any
where until official inform
ation came that Germany
has signed armistice terms.
Railroad Notes
Freight movement passing Den
holm on the Middle division on
Tuesday showed 7,158 cars, which,

of 825 cars over the previous day's

eastbound freights were delayed by
hot boxes and shop cars or 50 per
cent. Icrs than the previous day.
Following a turkey dinner and
cigars Dr. J. D. Findley, in behalf
of the club members, presented Mr.
Smith with an emerald tie pin set in
platinum, the stone itself being sur
rounded by small diamonds. The
F'ennsy official responded and ex
pressed his i.eeb appreciation of
the gift.

Union, becomes the successor of
Mr. Humes.
Transportaiton officials of the
Pennsylvania railroad have been ad
vised that delivery of Liberty Bonds
HARRISBURG TELEGKAFJ?
of the Fourth flotation has indefi
nitely been retarded owing to the
serious crippling of the organiza
tion producing and delivering the
bonds. The influenza epidemic
seriously affected the ranks of the
bond producing organization.
Because of the influenza epidemic
1,693 employes were absent from
their posts in the service of the
Pensnylvania railroad at Altoona on
Tuesday.
Enginehouse employes have been
urged by the superintendents of the
Middle anil Philadelphia divisions
to make more thorough Inspection
|of condition of engines. Engine i
| trouble has caused more or less de
i lay to traffic and it has become nec
! essary to relieve crews on the
| Middle Division. This, of course,
has reduced the volume of traffic.
Within the past 48 hours 2<L
I crews on the Middle division wree'
NOVEMBER 7, 1918.
j relieved because of engine trouble.
Twenty-five freight trains bound for
Harrisburg and to points east were
delayed in consequence. Five west
bound trains were held up becuuse
of hot boxes. The pasesnger per
j formance dropped from 100 to 80
i iter cent. Superintendent Smith has
1 warned employes that "careless and
5
indifferent Inspection is a serious
detriment to train movements."
The Mifflin wrecking crew was
called to clenr the tracks a half
mile west of Bailey on Tuesday
night. One loaded enr in an
hound train was wrecked. The
train was hauled hy Engine No. 40.
