TO TIE PRESIDENT.

Dear Mr.. President
ID ] have heard today that The

neutral private messenger, Dropo-
sition to Sir Edward Grey looking
toward peace. and one of the condi.
tions that he laid down was that
Great Britain should pay an inden-

Several months ago the English
caught German spy and discovered
his superior's address in Holland. the
kind of invisible ink the spy used, etc.
They have ever since made the spy
write letters to his chief. which they
(the intelligence officers dictate.
When the answers come, of course
the intelligence officers open them. In
this way they keep up a useful cor
respondence with the German head
spy. Well, a little while ago they
made their captive spy write to the
Germans that the English and French
were about to land a big army at
Antwerp. For two days the boats to
Holland We're stopped-the passenger
boats. l mean. Every man whispered
to his neighbor, Troops going to
Antwerp, You know" The daily pa

EDITED BY BURTON J. HENDRICK.
What impression did these Lusitania
kilograms and letters produce upon
the statesman to whom they were
addressed? This was a question that
especially puzzled Page during this
Summer and Autumn. In addition to
the Ambassador direct communities
tions to the President. he wrote a
large number of letters to Col. House.
already published in a preceding vol
ume These letters were written as
much for President Wilson as for Col.
House. That the Presidents confidant
would read them to his chief, Page
we'll knew: indeed. they We're written
for that precise purpose. The more
or less veiled fiction that they were
addressed to a third person, however.
gave Page great freedom in discuss
ing the Presidents policies and the
opinions which Great Britain and
Eui ope held of his craftsmanship. To
all these letters and kilograms. how
ever-both those sent directly and
those indirectly through Col. House
Page received no reply. He spent day
after day and night after night writ
ing letters and messages dealing with
the crisis produced by Germany's un-
restricted subrarin warfare. Weeks
and months went by. and not even an
acknowledgment came from the White
House. In the whole course of the
war Page received only 13 letters from
Mr.. Wilson. Several are extremely
brief letters Of introduction; others,
also brief. concern merely routine
matters. Only occasionally does the
President make any reference to pub
lie questions. and not once does he
discuss them in any detail. That
President Wilson was an extremely
busy man may be taken for granted.
and. TO a certain degree, his failure
to answer Pages letters is explained
That he was a somewhat inattentive
correspondent is also no secret. Page
was not the only Ambassador in a
great post during the war whose let
ters failed to inspire replies from the
President. Yet that their contents
had something to do with this presi
dental indifference is probably the
fact. In the early days Mr.. Wilson
greatly enjoyed Pages letters. AS the
divergence in views between the two
men widened, however. his interest be
came less keen. Not infrequently Col.
House. visiting President Wilson after
n months or six weeks absence from
Washington. would find. among the
presidential papers, a package of
Pages letters.
Here are some letters from Page
the President would say. handing
them to his adviser Perhaps YOU
would like to read them"
