President Roosevelt and Ambassador Sternburg were the subject of a dispatch from Berlin, Germany, to the Baltimore Herald, which he encloses. The article states that Roosevelt upset German nationalists by praising Sternburg in an interview with Eugen Zabel of the National Zeitung and that it could hurt Sternburg’s reputation. Roosevelt cares nothing about it but hopes that it does not embarrass Sternburg.
