President Lost in Green Mountains
FOR NEARLY FIVE HOURS DROVE
 THROUGH FORESTS.
IN A DRIVING TRANSFORM
In One Place the Automobiles Flowed Down a Steep Hill in Mud Up to the Hubs-At No Time Was the Party in Any Danser.

Windsor, Vt, June 27.-President Wilson and members of his family, out for an afternoon ride, became lost today in the foothills of the Green Mountains and for nearly five hours were riding through dense forests, up and down steep inclines, part of the time in a driving rain The drive took the presidential party over roa6s seldom travelled by automobiles and the way at times narrowed to mere cowpaths and mountains trails.
 Enjoyed the Experience.
 The president was accompanied by MT. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, Miss Margaret Wilson, Miss Helen Wood row Bones, pr. Cary T. Grayson and several secret service men. The chauffeurs of the two cars carrying the party were from Washington and the president knew the country at least as well as anyone with him. Apparent ly h enjoyed the experience and for got entirely the cares of office he left behind him when he came here for a brief vacation. Several times the au- tomobile was driven into blind" roadways and had to be backed in order to proceed on it's way. In one place the machine plowed down a steep hill in mud up to the hubs and in others it ran beside ravines with mountain streams far below. The chauffeur is a careful driver however, and it no time was the party in any danger.
 Impressed With Scenery.
 During the ride the president fre- quently remarked on the impressively wild scenery. Going down a narrow gorge, the automobile was forced to stop to allow a horse and cart to pass and at another place it had to slow up while a farmer pushed to one side an obstinate COW that insisted on standing in the middle of the road and gazing resentfully at the presidential party.
 Lost His Way.
 Leaving Cornish, N H, shortly after luncheon, the president drove across the Connecticut River into Vermont, towards Ascutney Mountain, which towers above the entire country in this vicinity. His objective point was Woodstock, Vt, but in the meantime he lost his way and drove in many di- rections trying to discover his loca- ton.
 Oeciphered Indian Stones.
 During the ride the party passed two covered upright stones set beside the roadway in the time when Indians roamed the mountains. On the stones were cut figures of animals and men and an inscription told how a baby had been born in the family of James Johnson in 1754 while the family was ''captivated" by Indians. The president and members of his family got out of the automobile and deciphered the inscription.
 At once place where the party had lost it's way the automobiles were stopped and MT. Sayre leaned out and spoke to a farmer standing beside the road.
 where does this road go?" asked MT. Sayre-
 I've been living here all my life and it never went anywhere" replied the man, while the president tried to pre- serve his gravity.
 Because of rain, MT Wilson did not go to church this morning, but he and pr. GraysOn walked over the es- tate of the summer White House. beneath towering pine trees along the Connecticut river.
 President Much Refreshed.
 The president eagerly breathed the brisk mountain air and was much re- freshed by his walk.
 A quantity of mail came to the president today but he put it aside until tomorrow when he will attend to some pressing business in addition to playing golf at Dartmouth College and taking an automobile ride. He has re- ceived several invitations to go to various places in New England during his stay here, but it is improbable that he will accept any of them.
