at dinner today we drank (2/2) a toast to the incoming president, for the success of the administration of President Hughes and the contin- ued prosperity, happiness and peace with honor of our country. But after dinner Joe got on one of his characteristic tirades about the European war. If his knowl- edge of facts were more accurate he would not get so far astray in his arguments as he does. He seems very strongly progermanic, and to think that the U.S. is acting the fool - but I cannot tell how much in earnest he is. I guess he likes to stir things up. Somebody asked Ahwegeeah what he had had to eat to-day. He replied "Only tea", but he seems to be contented. He is lazy all right and merits Captain Cone's nickname for him of "Barnacle". He seems willing that Summit should supply the meat for the igloo, still he does go out after rabbits occasionally. The baby's name, one of his names at any rate, is Pee-wah-to. 5 March Monday c 6, N5; b, N4; c2, NE4; c7, NW4; b, NE4 W.-12 -14; -12.2; -10.8; -10; -13. min -14.9; max -8.9 Sun shone on house from 9/10:30 a.m., m.
