Ambassador Meyer informs President Roosevelt about the unsatisfactory conditions of the Caucasus and Poland. He also tells the President that Russia suffers from poor government administration, roads, and lack of preparation of the army for the war as examples. There is talk about building ships for the Imperial Navy, but nothing concrete as of yet.
