DENIES THAT HE WENT
ON STRIKE BUSINESS

Philadelphia, Sept 1. - President
John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, spent yesterday
at Atlantic City, returning to this city
late last night. Mr. Mitchell denied
that he went TO the seashore to see
Senators Quay or Penrose, and said
he did not see either OF them or any
other person on strike matters. While

founded belief that he saw several
persons on the question of donating
funds for the relief of the striking min
ers.

figure in the Labor Day celebration
here today. He made two addresses
at the labor picnic at Washington
Park. on the New Jersey side OF the
Delaware river. a few miles below this
city The entire proceeds Of the pic
mic will be given TO the miners relief

Newport, r. l.. Sept Under cover
of fog and the blackness Of night, the
North Atlantic fleet, commanded b.
Rear Admiral Higginson, slipped It's
cable in Menesha Blight, Vineyard
Sound, shortly before 10 O'Clock last
night and put to sea, making the first
move ahoat in the war game between
the army and navy in the imaginary

coast On land from Fort Rodman at
New Bedford to Fort Wright at Fish
ers Island, every fertilization Is
manned by artillerymen, and every
headland is patrolle6 by signal men
Just as carefully as if a really hostile
feet were about to descend upon this
part of the seaboard
The actual war period began at the
expiration Of this as hours OF prepara-
tion. and while the fleet appeared to
take things easily during that interval,
the land forces. under supreme com
mand OF Mapor General Macarthur,
were drilled at the guns and at a sig
nal station with all the yigor that fore
casts real conflict
Never in the history Of this country
has such a grim aspect been given to
the defenses which guard New Bed
ford, the cities on Narargansett Bay,
the Connecticut shore and. more i'm
portant even, the city OF New York,
from attack under cover OF Martha's
Vineyard and adjacent islands, and
through the great waterway
Island Sound.
Last night when taps sounded az all
the forts nearly 5000 artillerymen
went to sleep beside their guns. ready
to spring up for action when the alarm
should be sounded. On the walls Of
fortifications paced guards, and along
the beaches sharp-eyed signalmen
swept the sea with their night glasses
feverishly anxious lest the light of a
hostile war vessel be taken for that
of friendly merchant craft
Once the feet had been swallowed
up in darkness, and II will be heard

on the coast within the zone OF hos.ili-

anoat, and It may be that Admiral Hig-
