HOUSE HOLDS DAILY
LONDON CONFERENCES
Wilson's Agent Visits British
Government Officials.

London. Jan. l2.-Colonel E. N.
Houses stay here thus far has been
continual round of visits to officials
both American and British.
Though President Wilson's agent has
been here only week he already has
seen David Lloyd George, Mr.. Balfour
and Sir Edward Grey, besides other
lesser lights. IA addition. he has had
almost daily conferences with Ambas-
sador Page
I'm his remaining week before going
% Paris Colonel House intends 20 see
several other ministers.
Just why the Presidents representa-
tive should make Il point to see the
Minister Of Munitions and the Lord Of
the Admiralty so promptly Is matter
of speculation. His desire to see Sir
Edward Grey is easily understood. The
American government has just made a
vigorous protest against the seizure OF
first class mail for examination before
IL H. allowed 20 continue TO neutral
countries This naturally VIII be an
interesting topic for discussion with
Sir Edward Grey, and Colonel House
undoubtedly Will make clear America
position. The same subject might have
been discussed with Mr.. Balfour, as
well "a the whole general blockade.
II Is possible that Colonel House told
David Lloyd George In detail what the
American government thinks of the
present agitation in Congress for an
embargo on munitions. and IN return
heard what this country has done re-
Gently in its great munition plants.
Colonel House is no stranger here.
and az the accredited representative Of
President Wilson he has been a well
CONF visitor IN all official circles.
