Theodore Roosevelt writes to Arthur Deerin Call of the American Peace Society, decrying the activities of the American Peace Society as doing “the utmost mischief” to the nation. He directs Call to an upcoming article in Metropolitan Magazine, in which he advocates for military preparedness. He declines an opportunity for a public discussion, believing that their points of view are so different that nothing could be gained by such an event.
