President Roosevelt has spoken with the German ambassador, who has told him that Emperor William II will welcome General Leonard Wood to unofficially view the maneuvers, but only on the condition that he does not officially attend maneuvers in France or anywhere else. The value in attending such events comes from watching smaller units work, rather than big spectacles. Roosevelt suggests that General Bell mention this to Wood.
