CoL House's Mission
To Warring Countries
Colonel E. M. Home, personal en
voy of President Wilson, will warn
the Allies that unless loncessions
nre mnde In connection with the
German blockade. Confess is In
mood to enact embargo legislation.
In Berlin, he will endeavor to
bring the Lusitanla case to an is
sue. In nil the capitals of the warring
nations ho will endeavor to effect
n more thorough understanding and
agreement between the Ambassa
dors and the Administration,
Colonel House will also study in
dustrial affairs under war condi
tions, the results of which will
shape the President's forthcoming
recommendations regarding or
ganization of a Preparedness Com
mission. HOT SI'IUNQS, Vn . Dec 2!s. President
Wilson today conllrmed the report that
Colonel K. M. House vns Kolnn'to Eu
rope nt his request. Tho President de
nied flntly, however. Hint the trip liml
anythlnK to do with peace. Kurthcr tlinu
that he would not discuss the matter.
It was learned Hint the President de
sired further first-hand Information con
ecrnlni? European affairs, t'nder ordi
nary circumstances he would obtain this
by the bringing of Ambassadors home to
report the stato of International nffnlrs
Such a course at this time Is regarded ns
unwise, and Colonel House will make tho
trip to Europe at tho President's request
to confer with them.
rtumors have been on foot for some
days that 6ome, nt least, of tho American
Ambassadors In the belligerent countrloH
nre not workltiK In entire harmony with
Becretnry of State Lanslnc All Informa
tion nlotiK this line Is refused by those
closest to the President. He. with Secre
tary I.nnslnB. conferred with Colonel
House, In WnohliiKton, last Thursday
nlRht, It was Icurned today. At the con
ference nil of the matters affcctlnff Amer
ican diplomacy In Europe wcro discussed.
It Is understood that Colonel House will
endeavor to mnko It plain, both nt London
and In Paris, that unless the Allies malio
material concessions to tho t'nited Status
In connection with the German blockade
nnrt Interference with American com
merce. It will he clilllcult for tho Admin
istration to head on embargo legislation
by ConKress In this connection It Is ad
mitted that both Ambassadors Sharp mid
I'rtKe have failed to mnl:e any Impression
cither on tho Trench or Hrltlsh forelKii
olllce. Their protests have been received
respectfully, hut at no time have tln-y
been able to obtain nn of the concessions
that the President and his Secretary of
Stnte deem absolutely necessary. Colonel
House will now try his hand.
It Is learned that tho Picsldont recently
received reports from Paris. London and
PctroBrad stating thnt tho Allies will not
entertain suggestions of mediation until
after tho comlns spring campaign. Con
sequently, It Is not bcllocd that any con
sideration will bo Klven to possible peico
neKotlatlons, despite reports thnt Colonel
House would endeavor to learn the senti
ment of tho warring Pcwers.

nies thnt tho question of peacu has nny
thlnB to do with his trip.
"If that Is what thpy say," said Colonel
House, "they have got It ull wronn. A
peace mission Is the last thltiK I would
go on at this time. Thnt Is the way I
feci about it. Regarding my plans, I
am afraid I cannot be more deliiiltu than
I have been."
Colonel House pave out tho following
statement:
"I nm going to Europe at the request of
the President and Secretary Lansing for
the purpose of taking Information to tomo
of our Ambassadors In order that they
may have a more intimate knowledge of
this Government's attitude, regarding cer
tain phases of pending international ques
tions, and In order to obtain from them
their point of view."
It Is learned that President Wilson was
prompted to send Colonel House abroad
at this time primarily on account of his
deslro to get a settlement of the Lusi
tanla case and to ascertain who Is re
sponsible for having created at Berlin a
falsa atmosphere concerning the position
of the American Government.

assignments, but his principal mission

Count Apponyl, like other officials In
terviewed In the dual monarchy, ex
pressed surprise at the tone adopted by
America In the note to Austria-Hungary
regarding the Ancona.
"If I had been answering the American
note I would have nsked your Stnte De

language before I would consider A re

statement of our adversary. Dut per
hapi tho Foreign Ofllco was wise tn not
showing how much the tone of the note
wns resented. At any rate, I hope the
negotiations will end satisfactorily."
Count Apponyl docs not Join with those
who praise the Austrlnn reply on the
ground thnt It proven the monarchy's jdlp

"I shouldn't Insist on that," ho said. 'I

DUSSIA'S experience, when, at the beginning of the war,
it put its ban on vodka, has not been of much comfort
to the persons who advocate Prohibition. The Czar's sub
jects have found a way or several ways of quenching their
thirst, much to the financial advantage of the drug stores,
if not to Russia's National treasury.
HPHE following dispatch to the New York Journal from
Petrograd tells the story without waste of words:
" A FTER more than a year's trial of the anti-liquor decree,
ri it appears that some American prohibition history is
being repeated in Russia.
A MEMORIAL to the City Council of Petroerad sets

FROM the above it can be seen that in the primary essen
tials the Russian does not differ from tht American or
for that matter, from the man of any other nationality. Take
from him that which he considers he has a right, to have,
and he will have it, in spite of the laws to the contrary.
BUT more pertinent is the FACT that to hold that Pro
hibition prohibits is a FALLACY, whereas all that Pro
hibition ever has done is to prevent the legalized and regu
lated sale of liquor. And the best proof of this is that 150
drug stores in Petrograd sold 216,000 gallons of alcohol last
year or 1440 gallons (5760 quarts) to each store. Which is
a pretty fair trade in alcohol for a drug store located in the

stand why nnd how Amerlcn entangles
her sympatnica with a side on which Ilua
sla Is flghtlnsr. In Russia the uplrlt of lib
erty cfttinot prevail."
The reference to German militarism In
America also brought a reply from tho
Hungarian leader.
"The responsibility for European arma
ments rests not with us, but with the
Powers making it necessary for us to
be prepared to defend ourselves," ho
said. "There Is no difference between
the militarism of France, nussla and
Germany, except that Germany's Is more
efficient"
