CarVer-Brand WhitIock Also on
Board the Rotterdam.

New York, Dec 28-CoI E. NJ.
House viii depart today on his secret
diplomatic mission abroad as the con-
fidential agent Of President Wilson.
Sailing On steamship Rotterdam Of the
Holland-American line, Colonel House
will go direct to Rotterdam He will
proceed thereafter to the different cap
itals on the continent. He will be &C
companied by Clifford NJ Carver, until
recently attached to the American en-
bassy at London. Mr. Carver resigned
that port to become secretary to Colo
mel House.
Brand Whitlock, minister to Belgium,
will also sail on the Rotterdam.
Colonel House declined to discuss
any of the plans for his trip or the
nature Of the service he is to perform
for the president. Specifically he said
when asked about story that he was
commissioned, among other things, to
reduce the friction said to exist be-
tween the various United States en-
bassies abroad:
I do not know anything about that
story and l should say Secretary Ian
sing was the one to talk to about it"
Colonel House expects to be gone
about six weeks.
Washington, Dec. 28.-It was said on
authority at the state department that
Col. E. M. House on his trip to Europe
as a special diplomatic agent will as
certain the popular sentiment there
on questions affecting the war" It
was also stated that Colonel House
will carry information abroad concern
ing the popular sentiment in this
country regarding the war.
Heretofore 1t has been admitted
only that Colonel House was to deal
with officials abroad. The fact that he
is going to sound out public sentiment
was taken here to mean that President
Wilson wants to learn the exact condi-
lions in Europe with a possible view
Of making another offer to act as a
mediator
Reports that Colonel House is going
abroad to smooth out differences that
have arisen between the American am
bassadors at London, Berlin and Paris,
were emphatically denied at the state
department. 1t was stated positively
that there is no friction between the
American ENJOYS.
