 CALL OTHER WITNESSES Col. House Reserved By the Senate ProberS As a Pinch Hitter If Wilson Fails to Satisfy; Publicity Promised 

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-President Wilson's offer to talk over the peace treaty with the senate foreign rela. tions committee finally was accepted today. At the suggestion of Repub- lican members and by a virtually unanimous vote, the committee decid. ed to inform the president it would be glad to meet him at his conven- fence to go over disputed points in the treaty and the League of Nations covenant At the same time the com mittee voted to call additional wit nesses and continue it's hearings.

 To Meet in WhiteHouse.
 The president chose the White House as the place of meeting, al though the chairman had left the way open for him to come before the com mittee at the capitol if he preferred.
 The letters were not mode public but Secretary Tumulty issued this statement:
 'The president received Senator Lodges request for an appointment to meet the foreign relations commit tee to discuss the treaty of peace. Of course the president welcomes this opportunity to meet the foreign rela. tions committee and has fixed Tues day morning at 10 a. m. as the time for a meeting at the White House.
 'The unprecedented condition of the conference as set by Senator Lodge in his letter to the president fits in with the presidents own prefer ence as to publicity, so that the peo- pie of the country may be put in pos session of all the information he has about the treaty of peace"
 Both Sides Seek Publicity.
 Mir Lodge told the president that it. was assumed by the committee that nothing said at the meeting would be considered confidential. He re- called that the plan of the senate was AO OOhoiuCi buC tCdby III OPOA OAONO- tive session, and in view of this plan, the committee felt that any informa- tion in regard to the treaty which came into their possession should not be withheld from the public.

an Anglo-American Entente is a matter
Of the utmost consequence. Says John
Galsworthy in his recent essay, BritOH AND
american:
"0n the mutual understanding Of each
other by Britons and Americans the future
happiness of nations depends more than
on any other world cause" Mr.. Gals
worthy is the last man to speak at ran
dom or without mature consideration.
In Bernard Shaw's reply to me he says:
"The only recipe for artificial ententes
that / know of is a tablespoonful of
lies twice a day administered in several
newspapers" This is true enough for ar
tifcial ententes, of course; and if the
intellectual Entente between Briton and
American is to be of that sort the sooner
We know it the better.
However, the letters shall publish will
reveal an earnest desire TO remove the
barriers between us; they preach eduea-
tion and travel, fairness of mind and
fairness of treatment; and l think they
prove that the present is the most ad-
vantageous time in history for the union
of minds of the two peoples.

DEAR SIR:
IT is difficult for me 10 say 10 what ex
tent literature will strengthen the alliance
which in fact exists between Your country
and ours, though / believe that alliance
is not the official name for if. IT is diff
cult because the effect Of literature is so
far reaching that We cannot see the ends
of it, or interpret its utility in the terms
Of any one political event. II is because
of these far reaching effects Of any
thought, when once let loose, that | al
ways find myself unable even TO defend
literature when people say TO me that it
is waste of time, as a gunner working one
of the big howitzers might be unable TO
say where one of his shells had fallen or
what it had done.
But at any rate it is clear that our two
countries now feel very close to one an
other, and since they hold identical views
on such things as the drowning of women
and the bombing of children it is OBJ
viously TO the interest of humanity that
they should remain close, forming solid
and formidable block Of what seems 10 us
the right feeling.
