George R. Van De Water, writing to President Roosevelt from Munich, Germany, notes that Americans abroad conduct themselves differently than they did fifteen years ago, and he credits Roosevelt for this. Van De Water commends Harry H. Morgan, American consul general at Hamburg, and applauds Roosevelt’s appointment of Elihu Root as secretary of state. These representatives of the United States make him proud of his country.
