Theodore Roosevelt describes the attitude of the German American press as “infamous.” He regrets that large numbers of German Americans want to build up nationality groups in the United States and that President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan are catering to them. Archibald Roosevelt is home for the holidays and is already worrying about what he is going to do after college. Roosevelt has been working for Metropolitan Magazine and hopes to continue working until Quentin Roosevelt is ready to be “launched in the world.” The war and the Mexican situation are the most interesting matters in the United States but the Wilson administration refuses to make any military preparations.
