Frederick Prince, of Boston, arrived before Kohlsaat and Beeckman left. He has a cable from Franklin Bouillon, who is now a member of the Ministry, asking him to urge me to come to France at once. This cable is attached to the record. Some interesting correspondence came to me today from Brougham of the Public Ledger, which included his letter to the President and the President's reply. Several cables have come in, one about the wool situation in answer to an inquiry I made of the British Government concerning that commodity. Richard H. Dana was an afternoon caller to talk over Civil Service matters. General Henry P. Davison, Ryan and Wadsworth of the Red Cross were with me for an hour discussing the advisability of sending supplies to Roumania, and also concerning the publicity matter I have had up regarding Russia. Davison de- clared the problem was clearly up to the President and me, that he had exhaust- ed every other means, including the Secretaries of State and War. The ques- tion at issue is whether this Government intends to back Roumania to the extent of giving her sufficient financial aid to enable her to continue as a "going con- cern". If this is to be the policy, the Red Cross will furnish the medical supplies and food demanded, otherwise, not. Carl Ackerman discussed an article he is writing for the Saturday Eve- ning Post, and his proposed trip abroad. Lorimer of the Evening Post has consented for him to go to Switzerland as I advised rather than to South Am- erica. Soldatenkov was with me a half hour explaining in poor English some conversations his Government has had with Bulgarian representatives regarding separate peace. I asked him to give me a memorandum in writing which he has promised to do. The Russians are eager for peace.
