President Roosevelt regrets to inform Senator Lodge that Rear Admiral C. H. Davis cannot be put in command of the battleship squadron above Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, which is the conclusion to which Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton, Attorney General William H. Moody, and Admiral George Albert Converse have come. Instead, Davis will be put as second-in-command below Evans.
