BIG WAR is NOW ON.
Mimic Conflict Between the Forces
Of theArmy and Navy.

Mimic Conflict Between the Forces
Of theArmy and Navy.
Newport, r. l., Sept. 2.-Under COW
er of a fog and the blackness Of night
the North Atlantic fleet, commanded
by Rear Admiral Higginson, slipped
it's cable in Menemsha Bright, Vine
yard sound, shortly before 10 o'clock
last night and put to sea, making it's
first move afioat in the war game be-
tween army and navy in the imaginary
war along the Southern New England
coast. On land from Fort Rodman at
New Bedford, to Fort Wright, at Fish
e-'s island, every fertilization Is
manned by artillerymen and every
headland is patrolled by signalmen
just as carefully as if a really hostile
fleet were about to descend upon this
part of the seaboard.
The actual period began at the ex-
piratoin Of forty-eight hours of prep
a%ration, and while the fleet appeared
to take things easily during the inter
val, the land forces under supreme
command of Maj. Gen. Macarthur,
were drilled at the guns and at a sig
nal station with all the vigor that fore
casts real conflict. Never in the his
tory of this country has such a grim
aspect beer ~
Given to the Defenses
which guard New Bedford, the cities
on Narragansett bay, the Connecticut
shores, and more important even, the
city of New York, from attack under
cover of Martha's Vineyard and ada
cent islands, and through the great
waterway-Long Island sound.
Last night when taps sounded at
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
Notifications paced guards, and along
the beaches sharp-eyed signal men
swept the sea with their night glasses,
feverishly anxious lest the light OF a
hostile war vessel be taken for that OF
a friendly merchant craft.
On sea the fleet had been swallowed
up in darkness and it will be heard
from next when it makes a descent on
the coast within the ION of hOstilities.
There are nearly 5000 men afloat, and
it may be that Admiral HigginsOn will
endeavOr to land his marines at some
exposed point of the shore defenses
and attempt to capture it before max.
ing his attack in an effort to force an
entrance to Buzzard's or Narragansett
bay or Long Island sound, or even to
silence some n of the big forts. The
army claims to be ready for anything
which may develop.
