WOOD LAUDED BY
THE PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT TALKS TO THE
PHYSICIANS
CANAL WILL BE A SUCCESS
Address Is Delivered at the Oyster
Bay High School, Before the
Associated Physicians Of
Long Island
CANAL WILL BE A SUCCESS
By Assoclated preas.

BY Associated Press
OYSTER BAY, July 12.-Presldent
Roosevelt delivered a notable address
this afternoon before the Associated
Physicians of Long Island. He dis
cussed in the course Of his speech the
relations physicians sustain with the
people of the communities in which
they reside and the work to be done by
the medical experts in connection with
the construction of the Panama canal.
declaring that, despite all difficulties on
the isthmus and here in the United
Sattes, the canal would be a success.
He referred to the achievements of the
sanitary engineers who cleaned the
cities of Cuba for the first time in 400
years, and closed by paying a tribute
to the services of General Leonard
Wood, whose career as military off,
Ger, he said, was fouted by some
critics because he had once been a
doctor.
A majority of the 400 physicians In
attendance reached Oyster Bay on a
special train at o'clock. Attired In a
suit of rough linen and wearing a
broad-brimmed Panama hat, the presi-
dent arrived at the Oyster Bay high
school, where the meeting was held at
3;15 D. m.
He was escorted to the assembly hall,
where he was accorded cordial recep-
tion by the physicians all standing.
A. he -
address and at Mr.. Roosevelt's own
suggestion, an informal reception was
held, each member of the association
being presented to the president. After
the president had retired from the hall
the association unanimously elected
him and General Leonard Wood homo
rary members of the society.
The Presidents Address
The president in his address said in
part:
THE scientific man who is really a
first-class scientific man has a claim
on the gratitude of all the country
The man who is the first-class neigh
Dor and is always called in time OF
trouble by his neighbors has an equal
claim upon society at large.
But the doctor has both claims.
Yet in addition to filing both of these
functions he may fill many other func-
tions. He may have served in the
Civil War, he may have rendered the
greatest possible service to the COM
munity along dozen different lines.
Take, for instance inst what is heiny
done in one of the great works of this
country at the present time-digging
