President Roosevelt will see German Ambassador Sternburg as soon as Sternburg has taken care of his eye trouble. Roosevelt does not mind being beaten in a shooting match by Sternburg, but in response to St. George Littledale’s letter he must not accept a match until he is out of the presidency. Even a casual shooting trip in Oyster Bay will have to wait.
