iels' assistant, may make a short
trip to England and France either
before or after his chief.
Daniels, during his visit, will de-
eide whether or not to station
Roosevelt at the front as his repre-
sentative.
The sending abroad Of Roosevelt
would mean the appointment of two
new secretaries. But it is under
stood that congress stands ready to
vote to pass the necessary legisla-
ton.
Daniels now, however, has his de-
partment down to a systematic ba-
sis and may hesitate to let ROose-
welt go on that account.
It is also stated that Colonel
House, President Wilson's repre-
sentative in important matters
abroad, will go "over there" as spe-
cial executive representative ant
viii give his time to consolidating
the activities OF America, France,
England and Italy. He would IN
doubtedly get the plan in working
order and then turn over the per
manent job to someone else. Sec
rotary Lansing is mentioned in this
capacity.
Altogether, it looks as though
there might be a Encouragement Of
the war activities at any time to
make these contemplated sOyes.
