Ivo. . .. WASHINGTON, n.C.,- Oct. 20. Arrival la Fr.inee o Col. E. M. Houso, President Wilson's personal representative, and Admiral llcnson, the highest rank ins pTi ioer in the American navy, has cloaied the way for th hoglnnlng of such delibera tions by tho: supreme war council at-Versailles s niiiy be necessary to frnino tho draft et an urinlsliou to bo submitted to ifinrtiany The preniierH .of, tho allied countries, who make up the piiiilteal elements of. the council, .can. hv asseiiiliied, at short notice, but It Is presumed their presence will not bo nocessa-.y until tlie military and naval com manders havo completed their work i It was said Friday In official el r-. cIok that Col. .Ilonso would pot bo a member 'of tho council, ntJ least for the present; tha'. he simply is tho eyes and cars of the president in Europe, charged -with ascertalu ing the exact state of public and private feeling in regard to all mat tors connected, with the war. Pos sessed of full knocledge of this na ture. It Is believed the president will be oven better prepared than .heretofore . to deal ' with every phase of the complux problems that will arise as soon as negotiations for an armistice and peace tiro fully under way, v Desires Views Of Entente. Individual views of the entente powors are certain to develop as the result of the paction of President Wilson, in boldly stating tho war alms of the United States; In fact, It is understood that the president desires to have these disclosed at the earliest possible moment so that a united front on these questions might be presented to the common enemy by prior , agreement among the countries fight ing the,; central powers. Col. ilouas will be In a position to learn ihese . separate views and p?rhap3 to ,reconclle ap parently .conflicting interests and desires through discussions. (Later, Col. Housa may tnke a place at the council table If Pres ident Wilson desires. The presi dent has a vote ii the counicl in the disposition of political matters and it ls reg-irdod as possible that he may delegate this -power to Col. Houso. It ha-; been tuggosted, how ever, .that the use of tho term "vote" In connection with the pro ceedings of tho council is mislead ing. What Is meant is rather a voice in the proceedings.', for there is to bo no voting in the ordinary sense; no Question of majorities or Minorities. i Keep Government Informed. - The members aie charged to broach freely for discussion any subjects they pleas., and if any line of. action is deemed necessary each representative will .notify his own government of the general sense of tho council and it will be for the home govrenments to give tho ne cessary instructions lor any: change in policy. Tho official copies of President Wilson's latest response to the Gor. man notes, together with thb cor acspondence Incldmt thereto, mak ing in 'all 11 separate, communica tions, were not delivered by cable to the entente governments until Friday. Of course London, Purls and Home already wore in posses sion of the 'unofficial text of the notes as leceived through the press and by radio, but these were not siifiicient upon which to base of ficial action.
