After hearing that the tropical climate of the Philippines has affected General Wood’s head wound, President Roosevelt has made arrangements that will allow Wood to travel to Europe to rest and recover after he has had command in the Philippines for two or three months. Roosevelt intends to carry out this plan unless Wood gives him satisfactory reasons, that he is willing to accept, as to why he should not do so.
