Washington, Oct. 25.---Col House, President Wilson's confidential ad- wiser, was sent to Europe as the per- sonai representative of the President on an official mission. This announce nnent was authorized officially, but further information is withheld.
 It is understood, however, that tho visit of Col House to Europe at this time is connected with Germanys pleas for an armistice and peace, which now is before the Allied gov ernments for decision. Colonel House very probably is authorized to repre- sent the President in discussions with the representatives of the allied gov- ornments.
 The fact that Colonel House left for Europe several days before President Wilson's final reply to Germany was dispatched Is further proof that every step of the Presidents negotiations with Germany has been taken in full accord with the entente governments It also is taken to indicate that de- oisAon to transmit the German plea to the Allies under certain conditions was reached even before the last note from Berlin was received
 Col. Blouse long has been recognized as the logical selection by the Pres tdent to represent him in such cases as now are to be held. He has made frequent trips to Europe since the war began in 1914 conferring with leaders in the leading belligerent nations and more than a. year ago he was charged by the President with gathering data for use at the peace conference. Much of 1t has been assembled at the head quarters of the American Geograph- AcaI Society in New York and on his last trip to that city after the first German note was received President Wilson examined the data in company with Col. House.
