COLONEL HOUSE’S MISSION.
President 'Wilson’s envoy to Eiirhp; 1 after his six weeks’ looking roilmi states that he saw no signs of a desire for peace and that the end of the war is not in sight. It was reported that Colonel House wai sent by Mr Wilson to talk seriously to American Ambassadors in Europe, but a leading Democratic New York paper contradicted this belief. He went to Europe,
it declared, as President Wilson’s voice to promote better understanding of America’s attitude, which certainly has seemed to require some explanation. The Colonel’s first work in each of the capitals was to be “in the way of bringing the situation and feeling and sentiment in this country from which they had been so long absent to the minds of the (American) Ambassadors.” His second task was to perform a similar work with the Foreign Offices of the countries ho far, however, how much he succeeded in doing, or in leaving undone, lias been kept a profound secret. ."k.-/
