Wall Newssheet Gets Scoop On Hun Armistice, Upset

Theatre-goers leaving the Cambridge Summer theatre Saturday night found a considerable crowd gathered around the board fence on the opposite side of Brattle Square. Pushing their way to the center, the more curious found nailed to the wall a copy of the Boston Globe with the screaming headline: "Germans Sign Armistice; Socialist Revolution in Full Swing."

On closer observation, the paper showed a November 11, 1918 date-line, and faint yellowing around the edges. By Sunday morning it had disappeared, removed by the same ghostly hand that first tacked it up.
