S. Ambassador to Germany Hugh Wilson. Mr. Roosevelt regards Ambassadors as reporters, doesn't like the second-hand reports now coming out of Berlin to the U. S. via London and Paris.

His pale face was heavily lined; to newspapermen still sensitive enough to recognize a human tragedy in a political battle, he seemed, not like a statesman who has lost, but like a man who had suffered some personal grief as real as the death of a friend.
