Tumulty and the six children, that this particular service would probably not be dangerous. Come, sure! Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. MR. JOSEPH P. TUMULTY, Secretary to the President, Washington, D.C. After the Colonel departed, the President in a boyish way said: "Well, and how did the Colonel impress you?"
The President's attitude in this matter, his fear that talk of this kind would embarrass the League of Nations, is disclosed by the following correspondence: Received at the White House, June 2, 1919. Paris. TUMULTY, White House, Washington.
Tumulty, the President's Secretary, Colonel House usually addressed the President in terms reminiscent of the days when Mr. Wilson was Governor of New Jersey. Especially interesting also are Colonel House's references to his own trip to Berlin and the joint efforts made by the President and himself in the preceding June to forestall the war which had now broken out.

When Colonel Barker entered the Secretary's office, he noticed him sitting at the other end of the room talking with a gentleman.

Did not the publication of the famous Zimmerman note show that German intrigue was busy in Mexico? Berlin, January 19, 1917.
As a light ending to a heavy matter, I may say here that when the Armistice terms were finally accepted, the President said: "Well, Tumulty, the war's over, and I feel like the Confederate soldier General John B. Gordon used to tell of, soliloquizing on a long, hard march, during the Civil War: 'I love my country and I am fightin' for my country, but if this war ever ends, I'll be dad-burned if I ever love another country."
Even after McCombs had declined the French post, as recited in the above letter to the President, he continued to vacillate, and addressed the following telegrams and cables to me in regard to the French Ambassadorship: New York, April 4, 1913. HON. JOS. P. TUMULTY, Washington, D. C. Confidentially, expect to come tomorrow. Please suspend on matter until I see you. New York April 25, 1913.
