Col. House Long
AClose Adviser
To the President
Head Of u. S. Mission
Often Called Power Be-
hind the Throne

Colonel House has occupied an un-
usual position in American affairs.
Confidential adviser Of the President
since he was first nominated, he has
acted as special envoy on several mis-
sions TO Europe and as collector of
data for the guidance of American
commissioners in the final peace con-
ference.
Until accepting the commission in
connection with the war, Colonel
House never has held a public office.
He constantly avoided the limelight,
and has often been called "the power
behind the throne" He is believed to
have mere influence with President
Wilson than any other man.
The following quotation from a
speech made bv President Wilson was
taken at the time to refer to Colonel
House:
"a can point out to you a few men
ot course, am not going to name them
now-whom every man ought 10 be
afraid of because nothing but the truth
resides in them. l have one in partic-
ular in mind whom have never caught
thinking about himself. | would not
dare TO make a pretence in the pres
ence of that man even il wanted to-.
His eyes contain the penetrating light
OF truth before which all DISCUSSES fall
away"

were authorized to discuss with the

cial obligations to this :nd other coun-
tries caused no uneasiness here. Sucn
repudiation, il was declared in au-
thoritative quarters, could be effected
only by a legal government, and no
government, it was asserted, could
successfully accomplish such an act,
as il would isolate it completely from
the rest of the world, destroying all
faith and intercourse with other ma
tons.
The Russian Embassy in Paris IS
acting virtually as a foreign office Tor
the Russian diplomatic service during
the disturbances in Russia. The en-
bassv here and those IN the Entente
capitals are receiving advices daily
from the Paris Embassy, which occu-
pies the central position, and by COM
mon consent has become the connect
ing link between all the embassies and
legations which do not recognize the
Bolshevik regime.
Official confirmation was received IN
Washington to-day that Ambassador
Maklakoff at Paris will represent Rus
STA at the Paris inter-Allied confer
ence, which opened to-day, together
with the charge d'affaires, the ambas-
cador not yet having presented his
credentials to the French government.
Russians here are anxious that their
point of view on the existing situation
shall get before the public. A Russian
diplomat asserted to-day that the ac-
ton with respect TO Russia to be taken
at the Paris conference will carry in it
the possibility of saving Russia to the
Allies or Of delivering the country into
the hands of the Germans. He said:
"The action TO be taken at Paris
concerning Russia will be Of vital inn
portance. Russia is not in temper to
be threatened; threats will not avail
anything. The two things imperative
ly demanded at this moment are pa
tent consideration and reason. The
Allies must differentiate between the

try. To put all elements under the

elimination would be most injurious 10

"To treat Russia as already having
abandoned the Allies, which is not cor

On the other hand, TO display conf.
dence in the soberer elements of Rus

and in the character of the whole Rus

NJ. Tardieu urged vigorous policy

The internationalism of Socialism is

MAYSVILLE BEATEN
by Somerset, Ky, Yesterday In the
Sunday School Attendance Of the
Clty-ScON 31l7 TO 249O.

Maysville suffered defeat at the
hands Of Somerset yesterday in the
Go-to-Sunday-School Day contest be-
tween the Pulaski county city and the
Masonians. Maysville's total attend
ance of the entire quota of schools was
242O, Somerset having 697 the lead,
or total of 3117.
Maysville defeat can be attributed
in the main to the bad condition of
the weather yesterday, which was very
cold and disagreeable for May. Many
of the smaller children were kept
home on this account, this necessita-
ting that the parents stay at home
also.
But there is proof conclusive that
had the weather been more agreeable,
Maysville would have made much
better showing with the Southern
Kentucky town. The attendance in
this city last year was PASS in all OF
the schools, the decrease being only
6S. Last year the conditions were
much more favorable and only few
score more people attended than this
year. Maysville would have made al
least 5000.
Only four Sunday Schools in this
city made a better showing than that
of last year, the Forest Avenue M. E..
the Central Presbyterian, the Scott NJ
E. and the Bethel Baptist, the latter
two being colored churches. All Of
the other schools suffered great de-
creases.
The following were the attendances
in the schools of Maysville this year
together with the figures of last year;
