officials of Germany. France and Eng
land, but denying his trip to Europ.
In any way was connected with a possi
ble peace mission or that he was the
personal emissary of President Wilson
Colonel Edward M. House arrived here
today from Liverpool, a passenger or
the American line Steamship St. Paul
‘*1 did not talk peace and that was
not my mission abroad,” Colonel House
declared "That was the biggest plect
of nonsense that I have heard.”
He also said that he was not called
home by President Wilson.
Colonel House said that since leaving
New York on January 30 of this yeai
he had met and talked with leading
officials of the European governments
hut added that his visit was a personal
one. as a private citizen and that it ha
no political significance. He said thal
he went to Europe almost every yeai
ami this trip had been no exception as
to intent or purpose.
Personal Friend of President
Asked if he had communicated with
President Wilson during his absence
on any mater of importance that had
come to his notice. Mr. House said that
i huch wo|i!d be the duty of any Amer
I *can citizen and that President Wil
son was his personal friend.
Colonel House left the St. Paul on
a coast guard cutter before the ship
reached port and landed at a private
dock, where he took a train for Roslyn.
Long Island, going to the home of nis
son-in-law, Gordon Aueliincloss. Mis.
House remained on the liner.
Colonel House said he left New York
on January 30 on the Lusitania, the
trip on which Captain Dow fiev. the
American flag while passing the Ger
man war zone. He added, however,
that he did not see the American liag.
Ho visited England for two weeke, he
sad, and while there talked with
Pr< inier Asquith, David Lloyd-George
and Lord Kitchener.
From England to Paris
From England he went to Paris,
where he visited a week and was re
ceived by President Poincare, Minister
of Foreign Affairs Delcasse and others
In both of these countries, he said, he
stopped at hotels.
From Paris, Colonel House went to
Berlin where he was a guest of ambas
sador Gerard. In Germany he talked
with Foreign Minister von Jagow,
Chancellor von Bethmann-Holwegg,
Lnder Secretary of State Zimmerman
an I others. He was in Berlin for a
week, going thence to Switzerland and
then back to London.
"In Berlin, as everywhere- else I
visited, 1 was treated nicely," said Col
nel House. “My reason for talking with
the men I did had nothing to do with
j eace. I know them all and always
visit them," he added.
‘How long is this war going to last?"
he was asked.
"You know as well as I do, or as well
as Sir Edward Grey or Ministers Del
casse or Von Jagow," was his reply.
‘Does England want to see the United
States In this war?" was another ques
tion put to him.
"Opinion is divided—some think it would
not be an advantage to the cause of the
allies." was the answer.
"Has the United States lost its standing
as an influence for peace?”
"I don’t know that it has ever under
taken the task," he said.
Colonel House said that lie was In Lon
don when the Lusitania was sunk and
when the first American note to Ger
many was made public. He declined to
comment on these subjects. He said that
In all countries he visited there was a
strong spirit of confidence as to an out
come favorable to the side that the par
ticular people favored but that the peo
ple generally were tired of war.
No Comment on Bryan
Asked about supplies of foodstuffs, am
munition, etc., he said that he had seen
nothing or heard nothing that he should
not see or hear.
The resignation of William Jennings
Bryan as Secretary of State was called
to his attention. He said he heard of
It on the St. Paul, but he would make
no comment. As to Mr. Bryan’s successor
he said he had no Idea. He was told
that he had been mentioned as possible
successor to the office. He replied:
"It has not been offered to me. I have
never held public office or desired it."
Colonel House said he had not commun
icated with President Wilson since his
return. He expected to go to Washington
but did not know when. It might be
tomorrow, but that was uncertain. He
added that he had not sounded neutral
nations on the subject of peace or war.
Reported to President
Washington. June 13.—All that officials
have ever admitted concerning Col. E. M.
House’s visit to Europe has been that
he was expected while there to look Into
the question of co-ordinating American
relief work abroad.
It is known, however, that Colonel
House has made frequent confidential re
ports to the President on the sentiment
abroad towards peace. These reports have
told particularly of the results of inter
WCWB nun i.u«Q|*tun v.m
The President has relied on Colonel
House more than upon any oth§r one
man for correct information concerning
official and popular opinion in the bel
ligerent nations. Through the colonel he
has kept in close touch with peace dis
cussions, with the hope of urging his orig
inal offer of mediation at the proper time.
A8 Colonel House has been one of the
President's chief advisers regarding ap
pointments. It is believed the President
will dismiss the question with him be
fore naming a successor to Mr. Bryan
as Secretary of State.
Colonel House is expected at the White
House tomorrow or Tuesday.

ONLY THE HARMLESS
IN GREAT BRITAIN
Most Dangerous Operating
Unfettered, Many Being
Paid High Salaries as
Experts by Government
London, June 12.—(Special.)—Offi
cially all German residents in England
are now' interned in the various con
centration camps, but in reality it is
only the most harmless part of the
Germans here which has been put be
hind barbed wire fences, while the
niore dangerous element is not only
enjoying absolute freedom, but many
of these who make no attempt what
ever to conceal their real feelings are
being paid high salaries by the British
government a» experts in various
branches of industries which are now
being run under government super
vision.
The proof that German agents are
as active as ever in all parts of the
country are many and varied. It is
assered that flashlight signals to mys
terious vessels at sea are continually
being sent all along the coast under
the very noses of the military author
ities and It is also said that German
consuls in England are still in regular
•communication with the German gov
ernment througli certain neutral indi
viduals who are not watched, although
every letter that leaves England for
France or Russia is opened and read
by the censor.
A German consul in a town very
close* to London has a daughter who
travels openly and regularly hack and
forth between this country and Bel
gium unhindered by the British offi
cials, who are more than strict with
ordinary travelers. Her father since
the outbreak of the war. or, to be even
niore exact, no longer than six weeks
ago. was decorated with the iron cross
bearing the w'hite ribbon which goes
with this decoration wThen it is con
ferred upon civilians.
Fraternal Feeling for Women
Benn Tillett. the famous orator and
socialist leader, lias just sent Presi
dent Poincare of France a letter to
voice the fraternal feelings of the Brit
ish workingmen toward their French
brethren.
He also writes that the workers
here are determined to support the
government in its resolves not to
rheathe the sword until Belgium has
uoovered all sh< has lost and France
has been revenged and the military
ystem of Prussia has been crushed
forever.
In German Prisons
( A Japanese who has succeeded in
escaping from a German concentra
tion camp writes in the neutral paper,
L*ngene Myheter of Stockholm:
“The most cruel fate befell the Jap
anese women in Germany, many of
whom were highly cultured and re
fined. They were incarcerated in dark
cells where they could barely move.
Th« ir money was taken away from
l hem and they were charged 3 marks

they cried they were mercilessly beat
en by their guards.
“\V> spent three weeks in this prison
before we transported to an intern
ment camp at Ruhleben where we
found English. French, Russian and
Servian prisoners. The camp Is a well
known race course and we were lodged
in the stable, four In each stall
“There were about 300 prisoners
there, guarded by 20 soldiers whn
cursed and abused us continually.
“On our way there we were beaten
and kicked and several women fainted.
They were immediately surrounded by
hundreds of people who insulted them
and spat in their faces.
’ “The stalls in which we were quar
tered were damp and draughty and
there was nothing to sleep on but the
bare ground. We decided to sleep out

soldiers ordered us to go inside. When
we complained that it would be impos
1 sible to sleep inside they laughed and
! told us that we had to.
“We were allowed two hours’ exer
cise dally in the open air under guard.

(OPPOSITE VIEWS ON
MANY QUESTIONS
British Employers and
Workmen Are Far
Apart
London, June 5.—(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)—In investigat
ing war work and the drink problem.
Reginald McKenna, then home sec
retary, has found that the employers
and the workers take opposite views
on a number of questions.
Employers say drink is responsible
for 80 per cent of the avoidable loss
of time. The workers reply that drink
incapacitates only a small number
who might well be eliminated, but in
vestigation shows that about 80 per
tent of the charges of drunkenness are
baseless. The employers charge that
ihq drinking habit does more harm
than actual drunkenness.
Trade questions give the investi
gators quite as much trouble as drink.
Employers say that the unions hold
back the output by restricting the
amount each man is allowed to do, so
that when men have, in the union
phrase, "earned their money,” or
"made theii* number,” they feel entitled
to lay off.
Subjects for further investigation re
late to the time and manner of drink
ing among the men, whether the in
creased tax on beer has turned them
from beer to whisky and stronger
liquors, to the hours the barrooms
seem to be most frequented ana to
whether the closing of bars during
the usual rush hours would help the
situation.
Riggs Counsel Files Brief
Washington, June 13.—Counsel for
the Riggs national banl£ have -filed
with the District of Columbia supreme
court a supplementary brief dealing
with legal phases of the pending suit
to enjoin the treasury officials from In
terfering with the bank. The brief
submits that th%re is no merit in the
government's contention that because
Ihe $5000 interest due the bank and
withheld to cover penalties imposed by
the comptroller of currency, is in the
valuta of the treasury, the court is
without power to command its pay
ment. It argues, too, that the comp
‘roller had no authority to require the
bank to submit information demanded
by him.
Belgian Minister Protests
Washington, June 13.—E. Havenith,
the Belgian minister has protested to
the state department in the name of
his government and the International
Fled Cross against Germany’s seizure
of Belgian Red Cross money and equip
ment with the German lines. The pro
test says this is done when the Bel
gian Red Cross refused to give up its
proper work and devote its attention
to ’‘aid and protection of women by
employment” under orders from the
German governor general of Belgium.

CARRANZA SAYS HE
IS ENTITLED TO THE
Claims to Control Large
Areas in Which
Law and Order
Exists
Washington. June 13.—Although the
United States government within the last
two weeks has been absorbed in the Ger
man situation, the Interim of a fortnight
that will elapse before a reply comes from
Berlin, undoubtedly will draw attention
again to Mexico.
General Carranza has issued a proc
lamation claiming that as he controls a
large territory and has instituted civil
administration therein, he is entitled to
recognition. General Villa has sent a
note to the United States favoring Presi
dent Wilson’s recent suggestion that the
factions in Mexico unite for peace. He
also has made overtures directly to Car
ranza.
Villa claims that he, too, is in possession
of a large area of Mexico and that law
and order exists within his jurisdiction.
No request is made for recognition of the
convention government represented by
Villa but a willingness is expressed to
reach an agreement with the other Mex
ican factions.
United a new Secretary of State is ap
pointed it is not thought there will be
any development of the recently an
nounced policy of President Wilson .to
Insist on order in Mexico.
The military situation is likely to have
an important Influence during the com
ing week on the political side of Mex
ico's problem.
Official reports to the state department
refute Carranza’s sweeping claims of vic
tory.
The most severe loss sustained by Car
ranza in recent fighting was the wound
ing of General Obregon, whose right arm
was shot away. Rumors were current
tonight in Mexican quarters that Obre
gon had succumbed to his wound, but
this was not confirmed.
Gen. Benjamin Hill, w'ho was in com
mand of the Carranza forces at Naco
last year, now is in charge of the Car
ranza forces, succeeding Obregon. The
Villa troops have been handicapped by
a lack of ammunition, with which Hiil
is said to be well supplied.
C. J. O'Connor. Pacific coast director of
the Red Cross, has been directed to pro
ceed from San Francisco to Mexico City
personally to direct Red Cross work there
of relieving the starving population.
