Wood To Study Zeppelins.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 24, 1913:
Dirigibles to be a Feature of the  German Army Manoeuvres.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    BERLIN, Aug. 23.— The Kaiser has invited an exceptionally brilliant assemblage of military officers to see the German Army manoeuvres next month, and Gen. Leonard Wood, when he arrives, will find himself only one of several Generals of rank equal or superior to his own. Two other officers holding the rank of Chief of the General Staff. Lieut. Gen. Follio of Italy and Gen. Ramon Ruiz of Argentina, will be present, while Russia will be represented by one of her most distinguished military officials, Major Gen. von Tatischtchiff.
    Gen. Wood is expected to arrive in the week immediately preceding the manoeuvres. As the Kaiser at that time will be in Berlin, the two will probably meet here before the military operations are actually begun.
    Great importance will be attached to the use of dirigibles in the coming mimic campaigns; so Gen. Wood will have abundant opportunity to judge for himself of the military value of Zeppelins in war time.
