HOUSE will release his intimate papers for publication in the Chicago Herald and Examiner, beginning Sunday, January 31. Col. House, private citizen, whose name loomed larger than that of most .officials in Wilson's administration, \Vas often called the "tnan of mystery." His importance \vas known, and his po\Yer suspected. hut the full import of his surprising relation with President Wilson has never been disclosed. In these papers, House reveals every phase of this remarkable relationship . Col. House 'vas the closest friend that Wilson had. \Vilson himself adn1itted House's importance, and his dependence on him. Sotneone a~ked him who Col. House was. and he said.

House has complied this extraordinary history. In their revelation of the true \Vilson, and in their explanation of matters that have long been state secrets, these :\fetnoirs of Col.
