President Wilson's Confidential Agent Insists

Colonel House Is enroute to Europe

sailing that his visit was for the pur-
pose Of sounding out prospects for
peace.

the object of my visit abroad. but will
accept the statement which have
previously given out and which COW

repeat that my trip has absolutely
nothing to do with any peace propos-

The statement to which Colonel
House referred, was made to the Unit

to make another trip to Europe in be-

found impossible to convey or obtain
by cable or correspondence quite the

Colonel House and WhitlocK were
the first of the notables to arrive at
the Holland-American pier. Whitlocll
and Mrs. Whitlock were escorted to
