COL. HOUSE WILSON AID IN PREPARING
FOR INEVITABLE PEACE CONFERENCE
President's Unofficial Counselor Undertakes Unusual Task at Re
quest of Chief Executive—Not Sign That Government
Expects Early End of War.
New Tork. —Col. E. M. Honse. Inti
mate friend snd counselor of President
Wilson, has assumed an unusual and
esaiplcx task In accepting the cotnmls
alon of tK»e president to gather infor
■ntton which will be greatly needed
by the United States government
ska It enters the peace conference
which wMI end the present great war.
President Wilson, In making this move,
was cognizant of the fact that for
■sarty three years the European gov
ernments have in-en making similar
preparations for the Inevitable peace
esafereace.
Colonel House already has begun tft
an; ont the wishes of the president.
As his chief assistant In the work he
has selected Dr. John H. Finley, New
Tart state commissioner of education,
who recently returned to this country
fkvss Europe after making an exten
sive Investigation of conditions In sev
sral countries.
The selection of Doctor Finley is In
dicative of the sort of experts with
whom Colonel House will confer. No
aian or woman with a preconceived
splniM which might tempt one to color
drrnnistnnc>a so as to prove the cor
rectness of a personal point of view
will be permitted to participate In a
work wh«=re open-mlndedness Is a pre
requisite to the arrival atjCfHcluslons
that will enable the government to de
termine upon a correct policy. f
Emphasis is put upon the unalter
sble determination that neither pro
fessional pacifists nor continued mili
tarists can he In the slightest degree
nsefkri In preparing statistics for gov
ernmental guidance, which must be
without taint of bias.
In an Interview Colonel House made
It plain fhnt his appointment does not
Indicate any thought of Immediate
pence Is now being entertained by the
United States government. He agrees
with Lord NorlhdlfTe in his message
• delivered before the American Hank
ers* association In Atlantic City that
peace seems far off and America
should beware the trickery and trench
ery of such propaganda. The truth is
that this effort on the part of the
Unltisl States to analyze war condi
tions and evolve a plnn of proceedure
when hostilities end Is a belated one.
Just as our military preparations
»■ g red for a period, lint now It Is
"full strain ahead and damn the tor
pedoes" with our army and navy with
not a thought of let-up In mtnd, so
from now on there will be urgent
prosecution of search for material, his
torical and Informative, concerning the
world war. This quest of data will
h*p pace with nn energetic prosecu
tF > of the contest, but will not. halt It
In my way. To pause now In nny
phase of belligerent endeavor might
make the prospect of peace even more
temofe than It seems at present.
No Sign of Early Peace.
Tt»e government/ sees nothing what
ever to Indicate the early approach of
peace, nor will Colonel House have
anything to do with ascertaining the
point of view of either the Entente
belligerents or the central powers, or
possible terms upon the basis of which
they might be willing to enter Into ne
gotiations. He will remain In the Unit
ed Btaf.*s. If Is possible that the state
department will he able to afford hi in
aid In the work he lias undertaken,
hoi he will not work with the depart
sient nor in n diplomatic capacity, for
ssal or Informal. He will have no title
snd will receive no salary.
The appointment of Colonel House
affords another illustration of the ex
panding position of the Cnited States
la world affairs. Heretofore the state
department has been equipped with
virtually all the information that was
necessary to the solution of Interna
tional problems In which the United
States has taken a direct Interest. The
war has brought new problems and
projected this country Into n field of
hiternntloual activity which It has.sel
dom entered before.
The questions which will cotne be
fore the jicac«? conference at the end
af the war will Be multitudinous. The
freedom of the seas, the neutralization
af seaways, the pollticul homeogenelty
af peoples who claim the right of self
government and the disposition of ter
ritorial possessions involving economic,
historical and political questions, will
fee some of tli£ many subjects to
be considered, and the Information
npon wlftch conclusions may be based
and policies decided must lie at hand.
With exclusive European problems.
It Is not expected thnt the representa
tives of the United States at the pence
tonnrll will be concerned. But In the
deposition of general questions, relat
ing to economic Intercourse and po
■tlcal development which will affect
virtually all the nations of the world,
the United Ststea will have a potent
Difference in Insignia.
A young lady Is grieved and disap
pointed to learn that an eagle dis
played on the shoulder or the collar
mt a military person means that he
Is merely a colonel. In her opinion
en splendid a decoration ought to be
reserved for a full general at least.
She finds It difficult also to distinguish
at snythlng but the closest range be
tween the oak leaf of a major and the
atsr of a brigadier. And after you
Itarn the meaning of stars In the army
ll Is frightfully upsetting to And that
voice. In accordance with the policy
that has hwn consistently followed
the outhrenk of the war of hold
ing aloof from European combinations
except In the prosecution of the war,
this jrovernraent probably will not at
tempt to aid In the settlement of tradi
tional Kuorpean quarrels, except |x>s
slbly as a matter of friendly interest
If opportunity arises.
HOUM Likely to Be Delegate.
It was said unofficially that when
the time conies to orgnnlze a peace
conference, Colonel House, by virtue
of his present assignment, would In
all probability b* selected as one of
the delegates from the United States.
It will be a part of Colonel House's
task to gather Intelligence relating to
commercial, economic and political sit
uations abroad. He will keep abreast
of developments In all non-military af
fairs.
Colonel House will have associated
with him, as hus been stated, several
experts, probably college professors,
economists and socialists In commer
cial ami financial affairs. The work
he is to perform will not be connected
with similar und»rtaklnir* in any of
the countries with which the Cnited
Slates is associated In the war.
The Cnited States government isn't
getting ready to enter into peace ne
gotiations with (icrtuany, isn't going
to medule in strictly Kuropean ques
tions relating to the war. and isn't ne
gotiating Just yet on I lie problems of
pence with the Entente. as has fre
quently been surmised.
Must Have Data In Advance.
It Is Important for the United States
government now and will be even
more Important later on to have a so
cnlled "who's who anil what's whaf"
In the wnr In order that all phases in
volved may be properly understood by
reference to data compiled In advance.
In time of war the government tlmt
fails to prepare for pence will ulti
mately be at a disadvantage, says the
Philadelphia I'ubllCtpcdgcr in an edi
torial. The representatives of (ireat
Britain. Austria. Russia and Prussia,
found this out after the fall of Na
poleon when tTiey met Prince Talley
rand at Vienna. Talleyrand, sent by
France, bad learned enough of the sit
uation a* it concerned all of the small
er European powers and as It con
cerned much of the opinion of Europe
to turn tllu u|»wn llm f«»ur nrrnt
powers and to stand as the.champion
of the public rights of Europe.
Prince Talleyrand maneuvered, and
successfully, according to the rules
of a secret diplomacy. He really
worked in behalf of selfish and na
tionalistic interests. The partitioning
of Europe by the congress of Vienna
was the outcome of arbitrary compro
mise; It was prolific of future wars.
The knowledge which the great dip
lomatic exponent of France displayed
was more comprehensive than that of
his foes, that is iiU. Excepting that
he recognizes the -iced of precise In
formation, President Wilson acts tip
on a principle different from that
which guided Talleyrand. He will
urge this nation Into no alliance, even
with the nation* with whom it Is as
sociated In Hie common war against
the Teutonic powers. He proposes
simply to equip himself with knowl
edge pertinent to the rights of all na
tions in common with America as they
may I»«• concerned by the proceedings
of the peace conference.
To Show War Aim*.
In this spirit the president has
asked Colonel llou.se to sui'Yey the
field of military, naval anil political
conditions in the countries of our en
emies and our friends; to get at the
economic, political and emotional state
of things In every country, and to tell
frankly to (Jreat Hrltnin, Russia,
France. Italy and the neutral powers
the things that we are doing and that
we intend to do In the war. More
over. an attempt will be made to lift
the heavy curtain of censorship In
Germany and Austria-Hungary, In or
der lo spread among their peoples a
comprehension of American wnr alms
and potentialities.
Officials are anxious that no Impres
sion should be created, as a result of
Colonel House's appointment, of any
Intention to start peace negotiations
In near future. So fnr as the at
titude of the United States Is con
cerned, the president's reply to the
pope still remains the unaltered view
of the government here.
The appointment of Colonel House
Is recognition by the government of
the fact that the adjustment of peace
terms will be a very comnllcated pro
ceeding. Many points of dispute must
be settled. Questions of all sorts,
economic, political, and historical, will
come up for discussion.

The statement follows:
During the vacation months while

take no chances on the child's seeing

All In Feed Conservation,
The greatest food show ever held In
North Carolina is what the State Pair
promises to be. Under the urge of na
tion and state more crops were plant
ed in the spring than ever before, and
the harvests arc proving exceedingly
bounteous. Not only have crops usual- i
ly raised been greater and better, but
'there has been a much greater diversi
fication. The result will make Itself
felt In the agricultural exhibits at the
fair.
Applications for space are almost
double what they were at the saniu
time last year. The number of exhib
its from counties as units will be in
creased, and all will be given an equal
show for the good premiums whlcii
are offered. Fiirtn the excellence of
these exhibits \in former years the
people of the state have been trained j
to expect an agricultural show of an
unusual nature, and the show this |
year will exceed any that have gone I
before.
The conservation feature fit the
State Fair is being especially stress
ed by the management. This will be
particularly exemplified In the new
Woman's building where Mrs. James
McKimmon and her corps of assist
ants from over sixty of the counties of
the state will show what can be done
in the way of preserving food by can
ning. preserving and drying. Mrs. Mc
Kimmon bus made much more than a
state wide reputation on account of
the results that she lins been able to
obtain with her canning clubs in the
state, and the girls and their work
will be here to show both how and
j what has been accomplished.

"The wei'k of October 21-28 has

"The harvest Is now in hand and
Iwo can measure the world's re

ourselves economically, and morally.
"I, therefore, appeal to the churches
