BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Word reaches Washington that Col
Edward NJ. House. the power behind
the throne during the Wilson admins
tr;tion. viii publish his political me-
nIuirs early in 1926. Yielding to en-
treaties by numerous publishing
houses during the past seven years,
Col. House has finally determined that
tn" time has come when he may with
proprietv tell tho world" Of tho part
he played in American public life. at
home and abroad, between the years
1883 and 1919.
It is probable that the House me-
moirs. like the Page letters, VIII be
published serially in newspapers or
magazines prior to their appearance in
book form. Washington friends of
the colonel understand that the me-
moirs will lead up to and include the
Versailles peace conference. But
they've heard that the House secret Of
seCrets-the real cause of his breach
with Woodrow Wilson-will not be re-
vealed. 1t is to remain "expurgated'
until the colonel like the war presi-
dent himself, has vanished from the
terrestrial scene.
Would Correct Impressions.
Col Houses friends believe that
he has FASTENED the decision to pub
lIsh his political memoirs because of
certain statements recently broadcast
in the Walter Hines Page letters.
These contained numerous refer
ences to Houses wartime activities,
which have, in his Judgment, created
wrong impressions. House is anxious
to state his own case, in several i'm
portant respects, before views created
by the Page letters become Crystal
li7pI'' in the nilbliH mind
House presented his collection of
political papers to Yale University a
year ago. These form the bassis Of
his memoirs. To them the colonel
has recently been adding by retriev-
ing important letters written by HIM
self to public men i'll Washington and
abroad.
While Col. Houses international
activities will form the principal fea
ture of his memoirs, he is expected
to make important disclosures about
long before the Governor of New
Jersey became President of the United
States.
Credited With Triumph.
House had much to do with Will
sons nomination at the Baltimore
convention Of 1912 and is credited
with his eventual triumph over
Champ Clark on that historic occa-
sion. The tactics and strategy which
resulted in the Wilson candidacy will
be disclosed, 1t IS predicted, in q light
which will be new in many respects.
The '"Texas planter" as House until
a year or two ago exclusively de-
scribed himself, was a stranger to
Woodrow Wilson until 1911, or there
abouts. House had been a maker and
unmaker of Texas Governors and
United States Senators for couple of
decades before that, although he had
never been a candidate for Office.
When the Democratic party was look
ing for "a white hope" as the 1912
campaign approached, Col. House de-
cided to play politics on national. In
stead of local. lines, and went to Tren-
ton, as he once told this writer, "to
give Gov. Woodrow Wilson the once
over" House decided that Wilson
was presidential timber. He volun-
teered his services as friend, guide

and counselor. Wilson accepted them.
After the November. 1919, election
and Wilson's inauguration as Fresl-
dent. House became the most powerful
single influence in the new admins
tratIon.
The colonei's first foreign mission
was that Of a personal representa-
tive Of President Wilson to the Euro
pean governments" In 1914. 1915 and
1916. In September, 1917. more than
a year before the World War came to
an end, House was appointed by the
President to gather and organize
data that would be needed at the
eventual peace conference. In Nov
ember, 1917, when the vital question
of a unified command among the al
lied forces was at stake, Col. House
was commissioned as the special rep
resentative of the United States Gov
ernment at the conference of pre-
miers and foreign ministers In Paris.
War Council Delegate.
A few weeks later House was des-
ignated by President Wilson to be
the American representative IN the
supreme war council at Versailles.
In November, 1918. the colonel rep
resented the United States at the
making Of the arn1istiCe with the
central powers. AT the peace con-
ference in 1918 and 1919 House was
a member of the American mission,
and a member Of the conference COM
mission which framed the covenant
of the League Of Nations. In 1913,
just before returning to the United
States. the colonel functioned as a
member Of the League commission
on mandates.
after bidding the President goodbye
in Paris after the signature of the
Versailles treaty. Their breach had
occurred some time before. Though
many guesses as to Its real origin
have been made, no authentic version
ever has come to light. Some mutual
friends think members of the Wilson
intimate circle intrigued to bring
about the break through Jealousy OF
Houses influence with the President.
Other authorities say that It was the
coloneTs assumption of authority at
Paris that steadily undermined his
status with Wilson.
Col. House visited Washington once
or twice after Wilson left the White
House and always left cards at the
former Presidents home for him and
Mrs Wilson. House also correspond
ed with Mrs. Wilson after her hus-
band was stricken and maintained an
affectionate interest in his condition
and progress. But when the colonel.
in February, 1924, evinced q desire
to be one of the mourners at Wood
row Wilson's funeral 1t was discov-
cred that there was no provision fot
his attendance, though he was &C
tually on the eve of starting for
Washington from New York.

By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, November 10. = The
Northern Methodist Church has voted
for unifcation with the Southern
Methodists. The vote has been under
way for months, and passage by the
constitutional majority necessary was
announced today as 1916 for and S11

DR.. r. ]. Wade. secretary of the
general conference of the Northern
Methodist Episcopal Church, who made
the announcement, said that although
the constitutional majority had been
passed on the vote of 100 conferences.
40 conferences of his church had not
yet officially reported their votes. The
statement said:
If there should be 4 two-thirds ma
tority in the Methodist Episcopal
Church South for uniflcation. then the
Methodist Episcopal Church would
call a special general conference to
meet with the general conference of

Of votes will continue to be very large.
Should n two-thirds majority be Sc
cured by the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, and that is more prob
able at the present time than for some
months past, the breach caused in
1S45 would be healed and the two
churches would eventually become
one"
Official tabuIations of the Southern
church vote, as made public Sunday
in Nashville, Tenn, showed 1884 for
unif1cation and 2,051 against, the for
mer being S7S votes short of a consti-
tutional majority on the vote to date.

PORTLAND, Me, November TO-
Lieut.. Porter T. Gregory, temporarily
in command of Fort Mckinley, today
forwarded a request to Col. John G.
Wright, at Fort Williams, command
ing the coast defenses here, seeking
an investigation of the firing OF two
shells by the Coast Guard cutter

Lag yesterday in CaSco Bay, when
the latter vessel was loaded with 1000
pounds of explosive powder.
Lieut.. Gregory asks that court Of
inquiry he named by Col. Wright to
investigate the circumstances
Lieut.. Gregory tonight said that the
two shots were fired from the Coast
Guard chaster at a range Of not
greater than 800 yards. The visibility
was excellent, he said, and the name
of the L-49 was clearly painted on her
sides. The mine command boat is
constructed in definite and indi-
vfdual design, he asserts, easily recog-
niZable to any one knowing her type.
The report of the incident made by
Sergt. Joseph Kasper, in command of
the Lag, the officer says, was to the
effect that the rum chaser gave the
other craft no warning before she
fired a one FOUNDER, which landed not
more than 100 feet away, and that
Immediately following another shot
was fired in the same direction.
The mine command boat, weighed
down with explosives, was broadside
to the rum chaser when the pursuit
