Military Mission

The first German Military Mission to visit the U. S. since the War returned to Germany on the Deutschland after a stay of eight weeks. Their arrival had been kept a secret.

The members of the Mission--Major H. Wilberg, Captains L. Vogt, A. Bnumker and F. W. Nagle--were everywhere received with pre-War courtesies. In a farewell message, they conveyed their deepest thanks to the officials of the War Department and hoped that a U. S. Military Mission would visit Germany in the near future and afford them an opportunity to return the abundant hospitality they had received.

They were particularly struck with the giant strides made in military aeronautics and sounded high praise for the conduct of aerial offensive and defensive tactics. They likewise much admired the development of automotion in the U. S. Army.
