which Representative Gardner sent to

BASE FOR COASTAL PATROL.

respondence of the Associated Pres. =


DUBLIN, January 25.-The admir-
atty has decided to make Galway a
base of coastal patrol boats and mine
sweepers, sixteen of which are ex-
pected to arrive at that port in a few
days. Warnings have been issued by
the authorities to the inhabitants of
the west coast instructing them what
to do in case of a raid, and this has
caused some comment, as hitherto it
was believed that the west coast of
Ireland was free from this risk.
A story has been received in Galway
from a resident on the Sligo coast to
the effect that few days ago, through
powerful glasses, he saw two cruisers
pursuing a submarine, which he could
see diving. The presence of German
submarines at that place seems i'm
possible and no further confirmation
Of the story has been received. r.

fetal Representative Of the
Chief Executive.

1t is stated at the White House thai
the visit to Europe of Col. +. NJ. House
who went over on the Lusitania. Is not
an official one connected with possible
peace negotiations. Because of Col
Houses intimate relations with Presi-
dent Wilson, speculation has been
strong as to the purpose of his visit
He went of his own Initiative, but the
President asked him to aid in co-ordi
mating the relief measures Americans
are undertaking abroad. The President
has no idea of attempting peace ne
gotiations until there is strong indica-
tion that the effort would be acceptable
to one or more of the belligerents.
May Develop Peace Views.
Many diplomats here, however, are in
clined to believe that the trip of Col
House might he instrumental even
tually in developing unofficially an
understanding of the conditions under
which the belligerents would make
peace. He is on intimate terms with
some of the principal foreign secre-
tarleS OF Europe, and most of the
American ambassadors in Europe were
his close associates before their re-
spective appointments to foreign posts

is the personal and unofficial repre-
sentative of President Wilson. SO that
Americans in charge of various
branches of relief work will not hesi-
tate to discuss their plans and CO.
operate with him freely.
While engaged in this work it is ex-
pected that Col. House, who has many
friends in both Germany and Great
Britain, will gather much Information
that may be of value to President Will
son in eventualities that may arise
when prospects of peace are in sight.
Knows Of Nothing Definite.
Only a few days ago the President
was asked if there was any movement
in view for peace and he replied that
he saw nothing definite. That unofficial
persons in all the belligerent coun-
tries, peace advocates and financial and
commercial men directly interested in
an early cessation of the conflict, have

ment for peace under way has been
recorded in official dispatches to the

countries, and in some cases Where
prominent persons in some Of the bel
