of Mexico, it was being kept a secret from me.
R. W. Woolley, Director of the Mint, took lunch with me and reported on
political conditions as well as the activities of the committee of which Chas-
R. Crane, Henry Morganthau and Cleveland H. Dodge are members. Woolley thinks
the President will have to see more people now that the campaign is on. He
says his inaccessibility is common complaint.
Dr. Grayson called to tell of some of Tumulty's activities against me. It
seems that Grayson is now in the inner Tumulty trenches and gets much informa-
tion concerning him.
Dudley and Mrs. Malone, Dr. Grayson and Miss Gordon, and Gordon and
Janet took dinner with us and went to the theater.
March 12, 1916.
Some of the papers have headlines concerning the purchase of Northern
Mexico. They write a column about it and then give my denial in small type.
Count von Bernstorff called at ten o'clock and remained for an hour. My
letter to the President today covers the principal part of our interview. I
repeated what I had told his Government in Berlin concerning their senseless
Zeppelin raids upon England and France, and proved to his satisfaction that it
was of military advantage to England and harmful to Germany.
We discussed the entire international situation and speculated as to what
would happen in the event the United States joined the Allies against the Cen-
tral Powers. I believe I convinced Bernstorff that the only hope of ending
the war soon was for the United States to intervene. If we can get the Allies
to give the word, I believe Germany will acquiesce, but delay is dangerous.
March 13, 1916.
Nothing worth recording happened today. We were invited to the opera but
I declined.
