German Ambassador Sternburg sends President Roosevelt some photographs of the Russian battleship T︠S︡esarevich he received from China. Sternburg remarks that the common opinion is that the officers of the ship behaved like cowards, because the vital points of the ship were not damaged, and it still held plenty of ammunition. A report that Germany was going to lessen the importance of battleships in their naval program as a result of what they learned by observing battles in the Russo-Japanese War is false, according to Sternburg, and instead believes that battleships are valued more highly than ever before although the guns they are armed with will continue to change.
