Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Adna Romanza Chaffee

President Roosevelt warns Lieutenant General Chaffee, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, that the Army should be wary of adopting too many methods of the Japanese army simply because of its recent success against the Russians. Roosevelt believes in particular its emphasis on bayonet practice would not fit the American military. Its arrangements in terms of quartermasters and commissaries, however, are admirable, and he encourages Chaffee to organize plans for embarking and provisioning an army.

Letter from R. R. Bowker to Theodore Roosevelt

President Roosevelt’s message to R. R. Bowker confirms to Bowker what he has heard from many in Washington about John F. Stevens’ resignation as Chief Engineer on the Panama Canal. Bowker believes Stevens’, “a man of railroad training and association”, resignation may have been influenced in part by Roosevelt’s policies on railroad regulation. Bowker will send a memorandum or report to Roosevelt in person on the situation to improve the transport of supplies to the canal workers.
