Will ATTACK new YORK
ARMY AND NAVY TO UNITE IN A
MIMIC DISPLAY OF WAR.
Plans for the Joint Maneuvers Partly
Arranged - Higginson and Mac
Arthur to Fix Details.

WASHINGTON, July 14-Plans are ma
terializing for the naval movements which
will precede the joint army and naval
maneuvers this autumn The arrange
ments have been placed entirely in the
hands of Rear Admiral Higginson, COM
manding the North Atlantic station. and il
is expected soon to settle matters Of gen
eral detail, such as the limits within which
the "enemy's" ships may attack. the Sc
lection of a commander for the "enemy's'
force and the selection of the ships which
will compose the attacking squadron.
An interesting part of the work in both
sets of maneuvers will be that assigned
to the "umpires" Officers will be as
signed to each of the ships in the naval
maneuYers and to both ships and fortifca-
tons in the joint exercises TO act as Judges
and IL is understood that the final decision
in the greater maneuvers as TO whether
the army or the navy has been victorious
will be rendered by a board Of high rank
ing officers from both branches OF the serv-
ice. probably headed by Admiral Dewey
The task of the individual judges will not
be an easy one for the entire scheme OF
the exercises is 10 be based on proba bill
ity. For instance, battleship steams UP
past one of the Staten island forts in the
dead of night A searchlight flashes out
into the blackness from the fort finds her
and the gunners ashore train their big
weapons TO blow her out OF the water Did
the searchlight find her in time to have
prevented deadly work IL il had been real
war? Were the guns IN the fort trained
on her with the requisite precision. or
can she be considered as having run the
gauntlet and as flying up the bay 10 shell
the metropolis? This is but a sample OF
what may be expected in the war OF situ-
ations opened 10 vigorous dispute from both
sides.
AS soon as General Macarthur takes hold
at New York IL is expected that ne will
cooperate with Rear Admiral Higginson
in drawing up a complete and definite plan
for the game OF war between the army and
the navy, which begins the latter part
Of August The plans for the Joint man
euyers are tagging a little, owing TO the
fact that General Brooke will turn over
the command Of the Department OF the
East in a few days 10 General Macarthur
and not until the latter takes hold OF the
arrangements for the armys participation
in the maneuvers are the plans expected
10 take definite shape.
