lations on the successful and very i'm

The organization and control of the
tremendous concentration of the air
forces, including the American. French,
British and Italian units, which has
enabled the air service Of the first
army to carry out so successfully its
dangerous and important mission, is
as fine a tribute to you personally as
is the courage and nerve shown by
your officers a single proof of the high
morale which permeates the service
under your command. Please convey
to your command my heartfelt appre-
citation of their work. l am proud of
You all.

ence c. Culver, air officer OF the corps
area. 1t was said Saturday night that
General Mitchell will be at Kelly Field
for one week, during most of which
time he will be engaged with work con-
corning the attack group.
Plans Air Trips Too.
He will do considerable flying him
self, but it was not said definitely
whether or not he will fly to Laredo
and Brownsville to inspect the army
airdromes at those cities. Tuesday
night dance and reception will be
given at Kelly Field in his honor.
General Mitchell was first commits
stoned an officer of the army during
the Spanish-American war. At that
time he was only eighteen years old
and was the youngest commissioned Of
ficer in the army during that war. He
later graduated from the Army School
of the Line, the Army Staff College,
and served as a member of the general
staff before the United States went to
war with Germany.
He was the first American officer
under German fire in Europe, where
he was serving as a military observer
when the war broke out. He was also
the first American flying officer to
cross the German lines.
Holding the rank of colonel during
most of the war, General Mitchell COM
manded the air service of the first
army corps, the air service of the first
army, the air service of the group of
armies and when the group of armies
was discontinued at the time of the
Armistice he took command of the air
service of the army of occupation.
Since returning to the United States
IN 1919 General Mitchell has been in
charge of the training and operations
of the army Air Service. which, since
then has been completely reorganized
and re-equipped.
Promoted During War.
He was elevated to his present rank
a short time before the war closed,
being commissioned a brigadier gen.
eral on October 1, 1918. On Novem-
Der z, 1918 he was awarded the Dis
tinguished Service Cross by the Ameri-
can army, and ON May %, 1910, was
awarded the Distinguished Service
Medal by the French army. Besides
these decorations General Mitchell has
been decorated by the French with the
grade of Commander of the Legion of
Honor, and with the War Cross with
various citations; by the British gov
eminent with the Order of st. Michael
and st. George.
Another noted distinction which he
holds is that he handled. during the
war, the largest concentration of air
forces that have ever assembled under
one command. consisting of American,
British, French and Italian units. He
is therefore an authority on the APP
plication and use of an air force. and
is the only high ranking flying officer
