and their point of view. They would go further if they were more practical.

Dr. Crampton telephoned from Washington yesterday asking if he might come
over today to see me. I gave him twenty minutes and he seemed grateful for it,
just why, I do not know. He asked advice about several matters pending in the
Council for National Defence, which I could have told him over the telephone as
easily as I did here.
Frederick Prince of Boston followed Crampton. He brought his son, Lieut.
Prince, who has for so long been an aviator in the French Army. I gave him a
card of introduction to Major General Bell with whom he wishes to return to
France, in the event Bell is sent, and one to Major General Barry who also may
be ordered over there.
Miss Buel who is syndicating Norman Hapgood's articles came to tell
that in her opinion he should return home. She wished me to agree with her in
order that she might use my name. I declined to have her do so. I thought it
was a matter which Hapgood had better determine himself, although Miss Buel did
not think so. She is a capable little woman, and has much common sense.
Andre Tardieu, High Commissioner of France, called by appointment this
afternoon. He brought letters of introduction from the French Ambassador and
and from our Paris Embassy. I did not read the letters while he was here,
telling him he needed no introduction since he was well known to me as the au-
thor of the remarkable articles on the Agadir Incident which <sic>electricfied</sic> the
capitals of Europe. This put us on good terms at once. There is no need to
go into details of our conversation. He wished to explain the needs of France,
both from a military and an economic standpoint. I suggested that he write a
letter covering the substance of our conversation. He is to write the letter
