New York, Dec. 15.-What the
American mission was sent to.accom-
plish in the inter-allied war confer
ence in Paris "has been successfully
and satisfactorily DONE" was the mes
sage brought to the American people
by Col. f. NJ. House, head of the mis-
sion, who returned to the United
States today with four of his col
leagues.
The return of the party was void OF
ostentatipn. Colonel House an
nounced that the missions reports al
ready had been dispatched by special
messenger to the state department at
Washington. These reports, which
included that of Colonel House, will
be supplemented by the coloners per-
sonal report to President Wilson. He
said he would go to Washington Mon
day.
Morale Is Splendid.
'In England and France the in
fluence of the United States is para
mount" said Colonel House. ''In
both countries the morale is splendid
the best have observed on any of
my three trips abroad since the be-
ginning of the war"
you mean the morale of the fight
ing forces?" Colonel House was asked.
mo, mean the morale of the men
lin uniform and the people as a whole"
he replied. Their determination to
win without thought of the cost Is
admira ble.''
Through the elimination of ths
speech making and entertainment
both of public and private nature.
Colonel House said the inter-allied
war conference accomplished its full
purpose at three sittings. At their
termination, he said, the supreme war
council, an outgrowth of these delib"
erations, completed its work in four
weeks time-two weeks being spent
in London and two weeks in Paris.
Unified Work Commenced.
The prime ministers of Great Brit
ain, France and italy and Col
onel House. together with their
military aides, were the only
ones participating in the SUI
preme war council. The others who
had taken part in the first conference
were assigned to membership on va
rious committees and thus every one
had a specific task to accomplish.
These committees dealt with food.
embargo, finance and other subjects.
"The council brought things to n
focus-up to that time there was no
co coordination and things were not
going very WELL" said the colonel
Everyone worked well, hard and cor
daily"
In reply to questions as to what the
council decided to do with reference
to various military matters, Colonel
House said the deliberations were
concerned primarily with the eco
nomic situation. He declared what
had been decided upon with reference
to this situation would not mean the
introduction of any measures rad
iically different" from those now oper-
ative in the United tSates.

such thing as a fifty-fifty loyalty. Our
business is to help this nation and to
keep it one nation and to see that il

back to it. And I should like to send
born Americans.
Since we want to do Germany as
much harm as possible l should like
to give her Senator La Toilette to be
used in the reichstag.
Must Achieve Victory.
Secondly we must put this war
through and with no end in view save

many's respect is through fear. An
inconclusive peace would simply
mean that we should have to fight it
all over again,

I'VE want to fight abroad without

fight at home without any allies. Our
duty is to take over our share of the
burden which England and France
have borne for three and half
years in increasing quantities.
Must Prepare Permanently.
Third. we must prepare perma-
