  That's Edward "Colonel" House, Wilson's close adviser. He's pretty fascinating.

  Edward Mandell House (July 26, 1858 – March 28, 1938) was an American diplomat, politician, and presidential advisor. Commonly known by the title of Colonel House, although he had no military experience, he had enormous personal influence with U.S. President Woodrow Wilson as his foreign policy advisor until Wilson removed him in 1919.

  Thanks bior and Richard Arthur Norton, we'll add their full names to the record. Col. House was very interesting guy. Maybe with the 100th anniversary of WWI coming up more people will learn about him.
