Car Speed to Scene of
Sham Battle.

UTICA. ~ Y. June 2A.-Tho pos-
slbilities OF motor cars as aids in the
quick mobilization OF troops have
Just been demonstrated in army ma
neuvcrs held at Utica. n. Y. As a
result. an automobile battalion OF
twenty cars will be formed TO serve
az an adjunct to the United States
troops stationed at that city.
Sixteen Studcbaker cars were chos-
en- for the maneuvers. which incluI-
ed dashes OF twenty-five miles UP and
down the Mohawk valley. Two large
manufacturing plants. one at Utica
and the other at Ilion. were chosen as
the strategic points. and in cover
ing them Company b Of the First
infantry set a record for speed and
efficiency. the motor cars getting the
soldiers to these points at a hither-
to impossible speed.
The remarkable work Of the auto
mobiles in the "skirmishes" Is all the
more noteworthy. the use OF the cars
en- this occasion being a forerunner
to further efforts along tho same line
in other army mancuyers at various
camps.
1t required less than forty-fivc min
