IN WAR TINE TEST.
Gen. Woods Orderly Arrives in
Car From New York With
Army Dispatches

The automobile which left New
York a month ago with dispatches
from Major General Leonard Wood
for Major General Weston arrived at
the Preside yesterday afternoon after
the first tour of the kind ever at
tempted for military purposes. It
demonstrated that automobiles can be
utilized successfully in war time
were railroads and other lines of com
munication to be cut off.
The car is Mitchell Ranger and
and left Governors island, New York
harbor. on August 1e, with General
Woods dispatch. The stars and
stripes, nailed to a hickory limb,
fioated from the tonneau yesterday,
just as they did when it began its 1924
mile trip Frank Zirbies. the expert
driver. was at the wheel, and with
him were Private Malcolm z. Parrott
of the Tenth regiment. national guard
of New York, and former Lieutenant
Z. B. Rosenthal.
The machine was met at Stockton by
Lieutenant W. J.. Homer and de-
tachment of artillerymen Saturday
evening. who formed an escort to the
Presidio. AS General Weston is i'll in
the general hospital, the message was
given to Colonel f. II. Crowder, who
delivered the missive TO Captain M.
II. Barnum, aid to the general.
These automobilists joined the car
at Hayward: Mrs. W. T. Lewis, wife
of the president of the Mitchell car
company, and her niece, Miss Mabel
Mitchell, both of Racine, Wis, and
her daughter, Mrs. George B. Wilson
of Searchlight, New: James W. Gill
son OF Racine, A. E. Hunter. Edward s.
Martin, George Osen, Mr.. and Mrs. z.
l. Peacock, Mrs. e. S. Martin, George
Martin, Mrs. A. E. Hunter and Miss
Marion Walcott.
The successful ending of the trip
was a great relief to James w. Gill
son. sales manager of the Mitchell
company. ellison came to the coast to
be in at the finish. The undertaking
has been his especial pride.
ellison has host of friends in the
automobile world It has been due a
great deal to his keen Judgment in
the selection of agents for the Mitchell
car that that vehicle is increasing in
popularity.
With ellison on the trip west from
Chicago is Joseph E. G. Ryan of the
automobile writer's in the United
States. Not to know Ryan east of the
Mississippi means to acknowledge that
one is not to be considered as having
any identity in the automobile world.
ellison and Ryan will spend the rest
of the week in San Francisco and Will
then proceed north by way of Seattle.
