Colonel House is about to leave
Paris for London and then will soon
sail for America. From what Is

derstood that England is quite as
averse to early peace as France. the
now Germany will not have been
crippled sufficiently and will renew
war as soon as she can again pre-

White House Mystery
Laid To Little Beetle

Discovery today Of a small speckled
backed beetle laid bare the mystery Of
the White House Red Room.
OF species doubtful. it is believed
the insect was brought to the White
House in the tobacco Of cigarette-smok-
ers. although experts at the Bureau Of
Entomology, of the Department Of Agri-
culture. gave 1t as their opinion. after
the insect was described to them over
the telephone, that 1t was a dermestes
beetle.
For months servants around the White
House were mystified by the peculiar
behavior Of the chairs and sofas in the
Red Room, but kept the mystery to
themselves. The cushions on these
chairs and sofas appeared to be victims
of a cure for obesity
Week after week they seemed to grow
flatter in appearance. The sruffing Of
the cushions was disappearing. although
never sign was there as to where 1t
was going. There was not a break in the
velvet on top or in the burlap beneath
