Ambassador White spoke with Emperor William II regarding President Roosevelt’s desire that Hermann Speck von Sternburg be posted to the United States. There was little progress on the matter but White will shortly have an opportunity to once again speak with the Emperor and also Chancellor von Bulow. The Emperor is still interested in having Alice Roosevelt christen his new yacht and was pleased that President Roosevelt compared his hunting exploits to those of Tiglath Pileser, the Assyrian king.
