President Roosevelt requests Emil von Steinitz’s advice regarding the new ambassador to Berlin. During McKinley’s presidency the position was promised to Bellamy Storer but Roosevelt has been informed that German Lutherans would object to Storer’s appointment. If there are objections, Roosevelt intends to send Charlemagne Tower to Berlin and Storer to St. Petersburg or Vienna.
