Great "false" armistice report ending World War I...



Item # 609996

November 07, 1918

LOS ANGELES RECORD--THIRD EXTRA - THIRD EXTRA, California, Nov. 7, 1918 

* End of World War I ?
* Germans surrendering
* False Armistice
* FRONT LEAF ONLY ***


A very nice issue announcing the "false" armistice, ending World War I. The United Press report that the armistice had been signed was a bit premature--it would officially happen 4 days later (hence this report--found in many newspapers--is considered the "false armistice"). Note the ftpg. headline: "United Press Is First With Greatest Scoop"
The large, bold banner headline announces: "WAR ENDS" with related subheads.
This is the front leaf only (pages 1 & 2), the actual number of pages that were present are unknown. A little margin wear, nice for display as such.
