advised that I undertake it. He considered it of such vast importance that it
was worth while to try. I have therefore decided to go to Germany on May 16th
and see what can be done.
We went to dinner and the theater with Mr. and Mrs. Severance of St Paul.
April 20, 1914.
Melville Stone of the Associated Press invited me to lunch tomorrow as a guest
of the Associated. I declined but asked for seats in a box to hear the President
speak, in the event he comes.
I had a telegram from the President saying:
"I fell that it would not be wise or right for me to be absent from Washington
tomorrow. So sorry not to see you."
I am sorry, for I had a dinner and theater party planned for him. He
was to spend the afternoon and evening with me. I planned to have him alone for
dinner, but at the theater I intended having the Mayor and Mrs. Mitchel, Col.
and Mrs. Nelson, Dudley and Mrs. Malone, besides Loulie and Gordon.
April 21, 1914.
We lunched with Charles Grasty. Among his guests were Col. and Mrs. Nelson,
and Mr. and Mrs. Untermyer. Mrs. <del/> Nelson said they were now Wilson people.
This is what I have worked for assiduously.
April 22, 1914.
Nothing of much importance happened today. <del/> It was one of ordinary rou-
tine. Of course we are all distressed over the beginning of war with Mexico.
Actual hostilities were caused by the precipitate demand of Admiral Mayo and <add>the event</add> bears
out the value of my advice to the President not to permit either army or navy of-
ficers to speak for the Government when they are within easy reach by wireless or
cable. It will be difficult to restrict the sphere of war to Vera Cruz. The war
feeling will grow on both sides of the Rio Grande, and there is no telling where
it will end.
