Theodore Roosevelt has received dozens of clippings and letters about Archibald Roosevelt’s wounds and Croix de guerre. He believes that the public felt “genuine pride” in Archie’s achievements. The great German offensive has been launched at the British. It is a bitter thought to Roosevelt that the government’s “folly” in preparing for war could not place American forces and equipment in place to prevent the offensive in the first place. The government’s efforts continue to frustrate Roosevelt but he keeps working to “press forward our preparations.”
