Military Message by Aeroplane

Harry S. Harkness carried a military message in an aeroplane 45 miles in 56 minutes on February 7. The message was from Major McManus, commander of Fort Rosecrans, California, to Lieutenant Ruhlin, in charge of the American patrol of the Mexican frontier near Tia Juana. The roads between the two points were almost impassable on account of rains.
