MAY RENEW FRIENDSHIP

Washington. Oct. 14.-Colonel Ed
ward NJ. House, long time chief conf
Dental adviser Of Woodrow Wilson,
buried the hatchet with the former
President yesterday. For two years and
half, though not formally estranged,
their relations have been interrupted.
During the interval they have never
met. Colonel House late In the after :
noon drove to s street, Northwest, and
left his cards for Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson.
The call Of courtesy may be re-
garded as putting an end to such n
"fcud" as reputedly has existed be-
tween the invalid statesman and the
publicist who throughout more than six
years OF his presidency was Woodrow
Wilson's intimate. trusted and prin :
cipal counselor on domestic politics and
international affairs.

Of the signing Of the Treaty of Yer
saillcs. Authentic versions OF the
cause are innumerable. Until one or
the other Of the high contracting par
ties releases the secret the curious must
keep on guessing.
Colonel House remained in Paris
several weeks after President. Wilson
left early in the summer of 1919.

they never have seen each other. though

and revealed sympathetic interest in the

BY an interesting coincidence, Il was
three years ago yesterday-Octo-

his farewell conference at the White
House with President Wilson prior to
leaving for Europe in connection with
peace negotiations. Until yesterday, he
had not been in Washington since.
