Mrs. WhiteIlouse
Soon to Return
From Switzerland
Noted Suffrage Leader, Who
Won Creel's Praise for
Anti-Cerman Propaganda,
Has Been Abroad a Year

Yesterdays afternoon papers con-
tanned reports of the sailing of Mrs
Norman Der. Whitehouse for Europe
on the steamer Adriatic Reference
was made to an important patriotic
mission" for the government
Perhaps the message was read back
ward, for the truth of the matter, ac-
cording to her husband, is that Mrs.
Whltehouse, who has been representing
the Committee on Public Information
IN Switzerland for year, is now COM
ing back to this country, and, as far
as he knows there is no patriotic mis-
sion planned. A cablegram received
by Mr. Whitehouse on January 5 said
the noted suffrage leader expected to
sail for America yesterday on the
Adriatic
1t was learned at the Office of the
White Star line, however, that the sail
ing Of the Adriatic has been postponed
until the fifteenth, but that the Lap
land sailed yesterday instead. 1t is
possible that Mrs. Whitehouse may be
on the Lapland.
Asked if Mrs. Whitehouse would
again take up the chairmanship of the
New York State Woman Suffrage party.
which she left temporarily to enter
this new field, Mr.. Whitehouse could
make no definite reply.

tive organization for the distribution of
propaganda in Germany She was so
SUCCESSFUL that when she returned to
the United States for three weeks last
April to present her report, George
Creel, chief of the bureau, said: "The
ablest man of all the representatives
we have sent abroad is a woman-Mrs.
Norman Der. Whitehouse."
AT the time the report was present
ed, Mrs. Whitehouse wished to give
up the work. but was strongly urged
to return to Switzerland, which she did

The hostess houses in this country
