1T is true that a French representa-
tive called to see me several weeks ago.
He was not a peace envoy. however, as
he distinctly stated to me. He was here
to find out what the general sentiment
was in this country regarding peace, and
he called on a large number of promi-
nent persons here.
The envoy said that he was not here
to see President Wilson. He inquired
regarding the men and objects of the
League to Enforce Peace. l did not even
tell President Wilson that had received
call from the French representative" "
