Bacheller, Irving, 1859-1950

Theodore Roosevelt expresses to author and journalist Irving Bacheller his relief to hear another American criticize President Woodrow Wilson and his brand of preparedness. He predicts the army will be ill-prepared compared to other armies, using the metaphor of muzzle-loading muskets going up against high-powered rifles. According to Roosevelt, Wilson’s efforts at preparedness fall very short, especially considering American men, women, and children continue to be murdered while at sea.
