Today has been very much a repetition of yesterday. Sir Herbert Tree
sent us a box for the opening of his Henry the Eighth. I did not go but we
gave a dinner to Mrs. Marcus Daly, Miss Iselin, Montgomery Hare, Clifford Car-
ver and Janet, who with Loulie, filled the box.

I have a letter today from A. G. Gardiner enclosing a piece he has
written entitled, "Mr. Wilson's Policy and the Pact of Peace". It is one of
the best things Gardiner's has written. It was published in the Daily News
the day I left England and just after I told him the real facts.
I am worried over the Mexican situation. We are not prepared for war
and the President will come in for much criticism if we have sufficient trouble
there to develop our weakness. I have urged him repeatedly to at least fill
up the army quota to the number authorized by Congress, and to have in good
working order the small force available. If I were President or Secretary of
War I would caution our soldiers to be careful of the sensibilities of the
Mexican soldiers cooperating with us. This is almost certain to be done un-
less the officers are impressed with the necessity for not allowing it to be
done. It is almost invariably true that Anglo Saxons offend the Latins in
such circumstances. Great Britain has done this with France during the pres-
ent war.
I dined with Mr. Frank Trumbull to meet Mr. Robert Fleming of London.
Fleming is a very rich, canny Scotsman. He is patriotic, but is counting the
pounds war is costing Great Britain and evidently desires that the end may
come soon.
