Theodore Roosevelt is disappointed that he will not be able to participate in the war. He has a low opinion of President Wilson and suggests that the Allies will not seek Roosevelt’s services for fear of antagonizing Wilson, a man that would sacrifice anything for personal advancement. Ted Roosevelt and Archie Roosevelt attempted to enlist as privates with General Pershing but they were refused as this would be a “waste of material.” He is pleased that James Russell Parsons is preparing for military service, even though he cannot enlist for many months.
