Walter Hines PageWalter Hines Page (1855-1918) was a journalist and diplomat. He was the United States ambassador to the United Kingdom during World War I. Page was educated at Trinity College (Duke University), then at Randolph-Macon College and Johns Hopkins University. His studies complete, he began a journalistic career editing the St. Joseph Gazette. When ambassador in London, on March 5, 1917, Page sent a message to president Woodrow Wilson saying that the British-French front was about to break down unless it could count on American help. This message did not correspond to the facts and was probably sent on request from J. P. Morgan & Co. who paid Page an annual salary of 25,000 dollars. One month later the U. S. congress declared war. Page, Walter Hines Page, Walter Hines Page, Walter Hines Page, Walter Hines
