April 4, 1917.
Frederick Allen, Frederick Palmer, S. R. Bertron and D. H. Hough were my prin-
cipal callers. Palmer came to suggest his fitness for the Censorship if one
is established. He does not desire it except in a spirit of patriotic ser-
vice and, I think, because of his experience abroad, he would make a satisfac-
tory one.
Hough reported on Russia from whence he has just returned. He gave an
interesting account of the revolution which was pending when he left.
April 5, 1917.
The days are a continual turmoil now. Telephone calls, telegrams, let-
ters and personal interviews occupy every waking hour. Poor old Whitehouse
is distressed unto death at the turn of events. I tried to hearten him and
partially succeeded.
April 6, 1917.
Last Night Dudley Malone returned from Washington and told of the deci-
sion to take over all the German ships. I was sorry to hear this because I
think, for the moment, it would be better to let them remain as they are.
Willett, of the London Times, George Eordon Moore, friend of Lord French,
Macfarlane, of the Boston American, Thos. Chadbourne, Captain Gaunt, Lincoln
Colcord, and Harry Sleeper were some of my callers.
<del/> Last Night Gaunt brought me a cable from Balfour. My letter of
last night to the President will explain. Polk tells me over the telephone
that the President read the cablegram at the Cabinet meeting today and they
discussed the advisability of my sending a favorable response. Polk thinks
they will delay until they have another incident similar to the one when the
President failed to answer Alphonso's message sent through Ambassador Willard.
