President Roosevelt informs French Ambassador Jusserand that he has looked into the matter of the Olympic Games, and has found out that the French are ahead. He comments that American newspapers have apparently “enumerated only the things in which our people were entered,” and have omitted a number of events. France currently holds the most gold medals, followed by the United States.
