President Roosevelt informs Herman Henry Kohlsaat that he has not turned out General Miles due to misinformed popular feeling on Miles’s behalf. Roosevelt is convinced that Miles is releasing secret information to the army’s opponents in order to gain political capital for himself. If this could be proven, Miles would be removed.
