HOUSE u. S. ENVOY
IN PEACE MEET?
Wilson's Personal Aduiser
Heads Peace Informal
ton Bureau.

WASHINGTON Oct. 4.-The United
States government has established a
peace information bureau, with Col.
E. M. House heading it, the state de-
partment declared Friday.
At the same time the department de-
clared emphatically that the purpose
has absolutely no connection with
peace negotiations at this time,
This indicates that President Wilson
intends to have Colonel House, his
friend and confidential adviser for five
years, head representatives Of the
United States government at the world
peace conference when that time
comes.
House will collect historical, com
mercial and geographical data such as
England and France have been gath
ering for the past three years. This
| information is designed solely for use
at the peace conference when that
comes, but state department officials
were careful to indicate that the House
appointment by no means indicates
any peace negotiations are in prospect
now.
House is not empowered now to 20
abroad or to sound out either the al
lies or the Teutons on the subject OF
said his work will be similar to that
! of a group Of college professors and
others in England and France who
have been collecting information for
the allies ever since the war started.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 4.-As a result
Of the recent decision of the Massa-

ance compensation to cigarmaker
who in the course Of his occupation
had developed "neurosis" seriously at

paign is being conducted by the unions
to secure the passage Of an amend
ment placing all diseases arising out
of employment definitely under the
protection of the workmen's compen-
