humanly impossible to carry points of a case accurately in one's mind for such
a length of time. It gives one a better opinion of the Supreme Court and its
decisions. Gregory told me this in order to convince me how necessary it
was for the members to hear distinctly.
In sending me an advance copy of the President's speech of acceptance,
Mrs. Wilson wrote that it was then seven A. M. and she and the President had
already breakfasted and were hard at work in the study.
Letters from Frazier, Gerard, Winslow and others from abroad are parts of
the diary. So also are my letters to Lord Bryce, Lord Loreburn, A. G. Gardiner,
St Loe Strachey, Robert Donald, Sir Horace Plunkett, Sidney Brooks, George Pro-
thero etc.
Count von Bernstorff telephoned last night asking if he might come to see
me today. I invited him and the Countess, who has just arrived from Germany,
to lunch.
We had an interesting two hours together. He says his Government thinks
it necessary for Ambassador Gerard to have an extended vacation, that he is so
nervous it is difficult to deal with him. My letter of today to the President
goes more into detail as to this.
In talking to Bernstorff about the recent appointment of Field Marshal von
Hindenburg as Chief of Staff in place of von Falkenhayn, I considered it a move
directly in favor of the Chancellor. When I was in Germany, the Chancellor in
talking of peace measures said that von Hindenburg was willing to throw the weight
of his influence on the side of peace terms which would not be popular in Germany,
but which would probably be acceptable to the Allies. Bernstorff had no inti-
mation of this, and the information caused him to give me some inside confidence.
