Flattered That He Would Be Wei
coined as a Harbinger of
Peace, He Admits.

NEW YORK. May 27.-CoL E. M.
House said that he had no plans Tor
returning to Europe. When told OF
press dispatches indicating that ne
would be welcomed there as mar
binger of peace his only comment was
that he was much f1attered. He ana
President Wilson had a. conference
here Wednesday,. when it was indicat-
ed that the chief subject of their con-
versation was peace prospects in Eu-
rope.
When Col House went to Berlin sew
eral months ago on a mission for the
President. the submarine issue was un-
derstood to have been the principal
subject discussed by him. although ne
listened carefully to every mention OF
peace. and reported fully to the Presi-
dent in several subsequent interviews.
He returned with the impression that
at that time there was little pros
pect of peace.
Col. House is the Presidents prin-
cipal confidential adviser on European
peace, and it has been understood for
some time that if Mr.. Wilson thought
it advisa BILE and timely to send rep
resentative to the European capitals
on a peace mission he undoubtedly
would select Col. House.
