Hut the ajrony of Friday morning was as nothing compared to that of Monday morninj: when we learned by telephone that the morninjr papers had already announced the ollicial news of the sijrninp of the armistice. Having made one faux paa The Advance was determined not to let the real peace news ct by without getting it into print in Klizabeth City practi cally as soon as it apeared any where else. From early Sun day moniiiijr all Ihe way thru Sunday nitfht The Advance kept watch prepared to ko to press on the .shortest sort of notice as soon as the news was flashed over the telegraph wires from Washington. When the Western Union of fice closed here at seven o'clock Sunday night we got in com munication with ' the Western Union at Norfolk and Becured the promise of the operator there that he would" phone out to us any wire received for The Advance during the night. And all night long the gas burned under the new Mergenthaler downstairs, the electric lights turned over the big press and all night the editor never took off his clothes or left his office. H tnrnpd nut that the lonur vigil was all in vain. We golj a wire at noon Sunday that ; nothing had been heard of the ! S'nfmnn .nnrinr u.lm Vl -i (1 nil-.! planed over allied and German lines to German headquarters bearing the terms of the allied armistice. Sunday night about nine o'clock by phone from the Western Union at Norfolk came the news that the Kaiser had fled to Holland for refuge. But this was not the announce TnentJor which the world then ' stood on tiptoe. The doings of the llohenzollerns are about to pass from the front page of the newspapers anyway. Our friends who have wait ed for a train that was late and which they did not know when to look for nia.v get some idea of the strain of twenty four hours of constant expectancy. The editor has done routine work through the same period many a time with infinitely les fatigue. Hut all of the agony would have been worth while if the news had -not got by without our knowing It. We would not even have repented of our long vigil if the news had waited till Monday morning to break, for we meant to take no chance of missing it. Why the United Press failed us on the biggest day in history we have no idea. We had wired the.n for completest protection day or night. 1 1 1 I IMVi 'to "i ri i . s. 0( . ..i;N i i;.YI A!

The President of the United Press has cabled the New York otlice an explanation of his dis patch announcing the signing of the aimistice last Thursday; The item came to him from an official source and was given out as authoritative. He did what any other newspaper man at the end of a cable would have done under the circum stances. And when he was ad vised that the announcement could not be confirmed he im mediately advised the New York bureau of United Press t6 that effect. That his second cable, which should have ar- ! rived in time for the afternoon papers Thursday, was delayed, was no i'au't of his. Where Ad miral Wilson got his informa tion that the armistice had been signed has not been divulged, Germany is licked, the Kais er is kanned and the war is over. Attend the Elizabeth City Fair.
