&f The charge, such as was recently brought up in Congress that House has tried to make Wilson appear as his puppét will undoubtedly be made by many Democrats who cannot bear: to have any of the obscuring dust of adulation blown .from their idol‘s mBfl there are two most imâ€" ly apparent answers to the charge. First, House has had nothing to do with the preparation of the book. It is not as if he had sat down and in the afterglow of events dicâ€" tated his memoirs, or what he rememâ€" bered as ;.ving happened. He merely turned over the cold facts, in the form of his correspondence and a m which was kept almost daily for ‘years, to an historian, who chose and arranged the material which should appear. And Professor Seymour should â€"certainly be congratâ€" ulated on his choice. He has achieved the very difficult task of making evâ€" erything included seem relevant,.and has woven the disconnected papéers together so closely that they read like a thrilling story. c â€"In the second place it is not likely that a man who through the long years an unbelievably arduous eareer réfused every office and honor â€"and > they were manyâ€"offered to him, was saving up material for this grand climax when in the distant fuâ€" ture his part should be known. No, it is pretty well proven by events that House as Viscount Gréy said of him, "Lo | to get good. accomplished lnq *was content that others should get the credit." He was a character mw‘ in the history of diâ€" p .. As the closest friend of Wilâ€" son he naturally saw his bad points ‘as well as his good, but he always upâ€" held him strenupusly and loyally beâ€" fore ¢he world, â€" t > If there was any one in the world, it mum:ho was allowed an aeroâ€" plane vi of the events of those most stirring days 1914â€"17, it was Colonel House. And now through the reading of his papers we are up in that aeroplane with him, seeing the :3‘ movements that were going on studying their motives : without the obstacles which would intervéne were we to look at them from the ground. Colonel House in his capacity of liaison officer between, ‘not only all the varied elements in his own gountry, but actually between the countries of the world, was probably in intimate contact with more imâ€" mt people than any other indiâ€" at that time. > A,. 8, M. Hutchinson was married on February 19 to Miss Una Rosaâ€" mond Bristowâ€"Gapper. _ News of the wedding which was supposed to be a secret, leaked out and Mr. Hutchinâ€" son, if he had waited ~would have been able to add another chapter to the heartbreaking picture of the sought after novelist in "One Inâ€" creasing Purpose,." Am#d by Charles Seymour. . f} oughton, Mifflin Co. "The man of mystery" has at last unmasked. Colonel House, who durâ€" ing all the years of Wilson‘s adminâ€" ion, was the source of infinite and surmise throughout the entire world, has in the in:rena of history turned over his intimate papers to Charles Seymour Sterling, Professor of History, Yale Univerâ€" gity, for their use in the preparation of these incomparable yvolumes. Brand Whitlock, one of the charâ€" acters mentioned in the Colonel House papers as Ambassador to Belgium, turned wn he was |through with political life to literature.

The importance ‘of events intg. whose history we are introduced cannot be exaggerated. Theére is the proposed Panâ€"American Paict; the exâ€" traordinary mission of the Colonel to Europe in the spring of 1914, which if it had been â€" succéssfulâ€"and it came very near to ing soâ€"would came very near to Aeing soâ€"would have prevented the/War; his stateâ€" ment. of the doctrijie of the "Freedom of the Seas"; the Anside history of the famous notes to Germany; the desâ€" perately strained rcl.uq';n- with the Allies, saved over and over again by the tact and: !omicbtl of Colonel House with the aid of the intimate contacts he had established with the statesmien of other countries.
