John Hay Tells of Trip to Gettys-

MONG the interesting passages in John Hay's war time diary.

l h in John Hays war time diary "A printed in narper's Magazine is Hays vivid account of the presidents visit to Gettysburg and the delivery of the famous Gettysburg address.
 s,s "'On our train were. the president Seward, Usher and Blair; Nicolay and myself; Mercier and Admiral Ray maud: Bertinarti and Captain lsola, and Lieutenant Martinez; Cora and Mrs. Wise; Wayne MacVeagh; Mo Dougal of Canada. and one or two others. We had pleasant sort of a trip. At Baltimore Sehenck's staff jciued us.
 "'At Gettysburg the president went to MT Wills, who expected him, and our party broke like drop of quick silver spilled. MacVeagh. young Stan ton and foraged around for while walked out 10 the college. got chaf- ing dish of oysters, then some supper, and, finally loafing around to the court house. where Lamon was hold ing a meeting of ,narshals, we found TOrney, and went around to his place, MT. Fahnestocks, and drank a little whisky with him. He had been drink ing 8 good deal during the day and was getting to feel little ugly and dangerous,
 "'We went out after while, fol- lowing the music to hear the sere- nades. The president appeared at the door. said half dozen words mean ing nothing. and went in. Seward, who was staying around the corner at Harper's, was called out and spoke so indistinctly that I did not hear ,a word of what he was saying. Forney and MacVeagh were still growing about Blair. We went back to For ney's room, having picked up Nicolay. and drank more whisky. Nicolay sang his little song of the "Three Thieves" and we then sang 4JohD Brown" At last we proposed that F'orney should make a speech, and two or three start cd out to get a band to sere- made him. stayed with him; so did stanton and Macveagh. He. stin growled, quietly, and thought lte was going to do something imprudents
 Then follows an account ot the serenade and of the bibulous Forney's speech. in which in tipsy fashion he mingled drollery and. >gravity. Quite 6hakespearean in this low-comedy in- 3terlpde, coming just before the state ly scene of consecration.
 "'In the morning (of the 18th, Hay continues) got n beast and rode out with the president and suite to the cemetery in the procession. The pro cession formed itself in an orphanly sort of way and moved out with very little help from anybody; and after a little delay MT. Everett took his place on the stand. and MT. Stockton made . prayer which thought it was an oration; and MT. Everett spoke as he always does. perfectly: and the presi- dent, in firm, free way, with more grace than Is his wont, said his half dozen lines of consecrations

ARMY OFFICERS SHOWN
ABILITY Of SAXON SIX

It took a Saxon to demonstrate to
Uncle Sam 8 engineers that six
cylinder motor car is At for the Cruel
ling service of Pershing's expedition
IN Mexico.
Since the boys in khaki crossed the
Rio Grande every motor truck supply
train has been piloted by a four-cy
Under motor car. The quartermaster g
department refused to believe that a
slX-cylinder could stand the hardships
OF the mountain trails.
Finally II was decided to give the
Six" a trial. and a Saxon motor car
dealer was asked to furnish car at
hts own risk as pilot for the supply
train.
The Saxon six" was sent as pilot
from Columbus, Texas, to Ojo, Fred
crico. a distance of sixty-two and one
han miles. The mud was so deep on
this road that at one point it took
the train nearly all day TO go a dis
lance OF seven miles The Saxon was
driven with the mud pans dragging.
The bottom of the crankcase was
polished bright from the rubbing Of
the mud. Even with this condition,
there was absolutely no trouble en-
countered with the car, and arriving
at its" destination, II was washed and
sent to the machine shop for inspec-
ton and the citizen~lnspeCtor made
the report that the car was mechani-
cally perfect and sale was made on
the spot.
The success with which this Saxon
Six survived this gruelling test, has
led the United States Government to
place eight six-cylinder Saxons on trial
in the last week. and every one OF
them Is making good. Tho government
demands an extended trial Of every
car before making Its purchase. They

that II is a pleasure for you to render

Here is what Sales Manager Greavy
Of the Richmond branch has to say
about the additional equipment:
The furnishing of this additional

possible by the exceptional demand

ures to a rate of over $4,000 for this
calendar year. and plans for 200
900 cars in 1917. At a convention OF
Chevrolet statesmen demand for the
cars was evidenced which justified
the most optimistic expectations of
the management From Kansas City
alone came the call for thirty-six car
loads. and the buying power from all
parts OF the country and from abroad
