Colonel Edward Mandell House OF
Austin, Tex. who recently sailed for
a six weeks visit in London. Paris
! and Berlin, went as President Wilson's
| personal representative. AS such he
| will visit the American embassies in
those cities and also the statesmen at
the head of affairs in all three nations.
| The three governments were inform
ed in advance OF his proposed trip, and
all of them were eager to receive him.
They know the object Of his visit.
know that he brings no peace offers.
and they are as anxious to get and
give information as be is. They have
so signitied to this government.
Colonel Houses first work in each Of
the capitals will be in the way of bring
ing the situation and feeling and senti-
ment in the country from which they
have been so long absent to the minds
of the ambassadors. His second task
will be to do similar work with the
foreign offices. On his trip last summer
to Europe he did this to a considerable
extent and was able to correct many
misconceptions concerning our policy
and American matters generally in the
minds of the foreign ministers. This
time he went with larger mandate.
though to the same effect.
1t has been denied by both President
Wilson and Secretary. Lansing that
Colonel Houses visit to Europe Is in
any sense a peace mission. and every
thing learned at Washington as to the
object he has undertakento accomplish
has not developed anything that would
suggest that he will try to pave the
way for the participation of the United
States government in a peace move
mclt.
A native of Texas and ifty-seven
years Of age. Colonel House has long
been an Intimate friend of President
Wilson. He has been prominent in
Texas politics and has directed the
campaigns Of many successful Demo
cratic nominees for governor since
1892. President Wilson relies on Mr..
Houses keen judgment, powers of OBJ
servation and his knowledge Of Euro.
pean diplomacy and politics to make
his mission successful.
