Abstract
- President Roosevelt praises General Winkler for his conduct while attending a state visit by Prince Heinrich of Prussia. Roosevelt had invited several prominent German Americans to meet Prince Heinrich and especially wanted Winkler to attend. Roosevelt criticized other attendees, including Carl Schurz, for showing too much deference to the Prince and speaking to him only in German. Winkler, however, spoke in English and treated him as he would any prominent foreigner regardless of royal birth. Roosevelt considered this an example to all Americans.
