President Roosevelt sends an editorial from the Evening Post to Robert Means Thompson, saying that it shows the damage done by articles appearing in The Navy, a magazine published by the United States Navy. Roosevelt criticizes articles in the magazine, saying it contains statements from disgruntled officers and men who are fighting among themselves, and these articles give newspapers like the Post fodder for attacking the Navy.
