one time the discussion became acrimonious, but it softened down and we parted in
entire agreement.
Short and Filene followed to discuss plans for raising funds to keep the pro-
paganda going for a league to enforce peace.
February 22, 1917.
Indian Commission Cato Sells came from Washington by appointment to see
me. He wept copiously, (a habit of his), as he told of his services to the
Government during the past four years. From time to time he spoke of himself and
of the sacrifices he was making, and at each reference he would weep. As a mat-
ter of fact, he has worked well and assiduously and has made a good Indian Commis-
sioner.
Bob Woolley followed Sells to complain that he had not been offered any-
thing up to now and that the 4th of March was getting dangerously near. I am
afraid<del/> the President <add>will</add> <del>is</del> not <del>going to</del> reward Woolley as he deserves. I am afraid,
too, that his estimate of Woolley's abilities differ widely from Woolley's estimate
of them. I believe the President does him an injustice in that particular for
he was one of the most effective forces we had in the campaign.
Cleveland H. Dodge followed to say that the President had offered him
the Ambassadorship to the Court of St James. I told him I had been hesitating
for sometime between my desire to talk to him about this and my feeling that the
President wished <add>first</add> to do it himself. My reasons for desiring to anticipate the
President were that I thought I might <add>better</add> persuade him to accept <del>better than the Pres-</del>
<del>ident</del>. Dodge feels he would be criticised if he took the place because of his
large campaign contributions. He thinks he would be charged with buying the
post. His character is such that I thought there would be no criticism worthy
of notice.
