during my stay at Falmouth, and the Government is not holding the Rotterdam
to search for spies, contraband etc. as they have recently been doing. The
ship is full to its capacity and largely, I am told, because of our being on it
which has been widely advertised. There is a general belief that no mishap
will come to it from submarines or other causes on account of the presence of
our party. I hope their faith may be justified, although nothing would proba-
bly happen anyway.
I shall discontinue the diary now until just before landing which we
hope will be Sunday March the fifth.
At Sea,
March 4, 1916.
Our voyage has about come to an end. It has been a long and rough
one, but restful for me. The usual number of people have demanded to see me
and I have been bored by some and enlightened by others.
D. H. Heineman of Brussels made himself known by a letter from Whitlock.
He is the most interesting man I have met. He is a cosmopolitan having been
born in the United States and having lived largely in Europe. He knows the
Berlin Government well, and he tells me the Central Powers are willing for the
President to intervene at once if he will do so. This is important and coin-
cides with my own information. Heineman said he was told they could change
public opinion in Germany within a week and have it favorable to intervention
by the President. This <add>also</add> I believe is <del/> true.
The Captain has delivered to me each day his Marconi messages. In
them I find that the President and Lansing have gotten themselves into deep
waters, brought about by their ill-timed proposal as to the disarming of mer-
chantmen. I have received two wireless messages from the President, one
asking me to come at once to Washington, and the other warning that Bernstorff
was waiting in New York to see me and advising that I avoid him.
