TO PREPARE FOR. PEACE COHCRESS Colonel House Undertake* Unusual. Task at Requert of President Wilson.

DOES NOT AM TO END WAR

Work U te Equip Government With Data That Will Be Important When the .Iwetilitie* Come

to a Cloaa.

Wew York.—Col. E. U. House, who waa asked by iTrsldeot Wllsoo to undertake the tank of prepartn* data for the use of the United States when the warrlftf nations gather about the cooferrnre table to dlaruaa peace term a. hm entered actively upon the perform a nee of hi* unusual duties. Hia first move was to select Dr. John H. Klnley, com ml mi oner of education of the state of New York, as his chief assistant. Doctor Finley will brins to the work all tbe information which he tethered on a recent trip to Europe, where be made an extensive study of conditions. Emphasis is laid upon the tact that the appointment of the president's intimate friend cad counselor to tills |>oattlon Is not Indicative of any move for peace at this time but Is merely preparatory to the peace conference which must come Inevitably st some time in tbe future. The selection of Doctor Hnley Is Indlcsllve of tbe sort of experts with whom Colonel House will confer. So man or woman with a preconceived opinion which mlslil tempt uue to color circumstances so as to prove the correctness of a personal point of view will he permitted to participate In a work where oln-n-m; ruled ness is a prerequisite to the arrival at coodualous that will enable the enverament to determine upon a correct I volley. Emphasis is put upon the unalterable determination that neither professional pacifists nor confirmed militarists can he In the sllchiest decree useful In preparing statlMira for governmental guidance, which must be

It to not expected that the wpceseotulives of the United States at the.pence ewtnrt! Wfi; t-e fwn. efhWL But In the disposition of general queslions. relating to economic Intercourse nnd political development which will affect virtunliv alt the natiotia of the world, the C-ltcd State* will have a potent voice. In accordance with the policy that has been consistently followed since the outbreak of the war of bolding aloof from European combi no tlona except In tbe prosecution of the war, this government probably will not attempt to aid In the settlement <rf traditional Euorpean quarrels, except possibly as a matter of friendly Interest if opportunity arises. House Llkaly to Bo Delegate. It was said nnoflldaily that when thf time cornea to organise a peace conference. Colonel Bouse, by virtue of his present assignment, would In all probability be selected n* one of the delegates from the United Stataa. It aril! be a port of Colon el House's task to gather latelilgenoe relating to economic and political sitad. He will keep abreast of developments In all non-military af-

fairs.

Colonel Hons.- will have smodaled with him. as ha* been stated, several experts, probably college professor*, economists and specialist* In commercial and financial affairs. Tbe work he Is to ]Mcfonn will not be connected with similar undertakings In any of the countries with which the United States Is associated In the war. The United plates government Isn't getting ready to enter Into peace negotiation* with Germany. Isn't going to meddle In stridly European quee tloa* relating to the war. and Isn't negotiating Just yet on the problems ot I mu re with the Entente, a* Un* fre-

It is important for live United States government now and will be even more Important later on to have a *> called “who's who and what's what" In tbe war in order that all phaaea involved may lie profierly understood by reference to data compiled In advance. In time of war the government that falls to prepare for peace will ulllniaiely be at a disadvantage, says tbe Philadelphia Public Ledg.r «* an <Jitorlal. The representative* of Great Britain.
