President Roosevelt is interested in what General Wood is doing with the Moros. Roosevelt had a challenging time getting Albert Leopold Mills confirmed and must pay more attention to seniority with his next brigadier general appointment. Roosevelt is also bracing himself for negative press coverage during the election. Roosevelt has tried to keep fit by doing Japanese wrestling over the winter.
