RULES FoR WAR GAME
Army and Navy Manoeuvres Divided
Into TWO Phases.

Army and Navy Manoeuvres Divided
Into TWO Phases.
New York. Aug 26.-Maior General
Macarthur made public yesterday the
text of the rules agreed upon for the
coming army and navy manoeuvres.
The whole scheme of operations is
based upon the assumption that, in
anticipation OF a declaration Of hos
tilities, a strong hostile fleet without
torpedo boats, determines to make
sudden dash en- the eastern entrance
of Long Island Sound to secure a
naval base, in the expectation of find
ing the land forces. in the absence Of
a declaration Of war. in somewhat
unprepared condition Hostilities will
begin on August 20 and end at noon,
September 6.
The periods Of the manOeuyres are
TO be divided INTO two distinct phases
period Of preparation and period Of
hostiIties. During the first period 1t
is intended that there shall be day
attack and right attack by the fleet,
and if possible a bombardment and
the forcing of a passage. During the
ensuing period mines and distractions
may be planted by the defense, and
the conditions Of war are to be fol
lowed as closely as possible.
Elaborate rules are laid down to es

of all calibres so as to determine

a system Of itinerant cooks. comes as
q suggestion from England toward
solving the great problem Of domestic
servants. This would give variety to
the life Of the household drudge, and /
the palate of the employer would be re- |
ieved Of the monotony of fare from |
which it suffers under the ministration |
Of one and the same mistress of the !
kitchen The plan is shat certain
humber of families of almost the same
financial status should form a circuit,
around which the cooks should travel
terving for a fixed period in each fam
uy and then moving on to the next
until the circuit is completed. Why not
reverse the arrangement and pay due
regard to the Importance Of the queen
Of the kitchen? Let the cook be a per-
laanent part of the household and let
lie families travel about the circuit of
homes rented or owned in commOn2
There are great possibilities in this
system of itinerancy. A suggestion has
oeen made Of itinerant sons and daugh-
ers for i'll assorted families.

Portraits of the saviour In Pictures
of the Last Supper.

Among the earlier frescoes Of the
catacombs we find groups of our Lord
and the apostles. We know for whom
the figures are intended, because they
represent thirteen men scented at a ia
bic, one of them III the midst, as at the
Last Supper.
But the curious thing is this: Ten Of
the thirteen faces are all alike. They
are dummy faces of a common Roman
type, differentiated neither by beard
nor arrangement of the hair nor by
the shape of the features nor by ex-
preston. They are not portraits, IN
less, indeed, ten of the apostles were
cast in the same mold. but the three
central figures are evidently portraits.
The one in the midst is Christ, as we
know his face today. The one on the
right shows the curly head of Peter,
the one on the left the beardless face
of John. Now, it will be remembered
that these two men, Peter and John,
were evangelists in Rome, had
preached in the catacombs, where this
fresco was painted and were well
known to the converts there; but, so
far as we can tell. the ten were IN
known.
1t Is obvious, therefore, that these
Christians, accustomed as they We're to
portraiture, adopted it as far as was
practicable and resorted to conven-
tional representations only where they
could give their artists no authentic
model or record Of the likeness. The
theory, therefore. that the likeness of
Christ is only the residuum Of the
work of incapable artists, the last re-
manning of series of dummies dis
tinguishable from the others only be-
cause it remained dead while they
came to life. is absolutely untenable.
The head of Michael Angelo is not a
creation of his own or of his age, nor
did it grow through the dark ages. Ii
is transcript Of a likeness carefully
handed down from the first or second
century. The great painters of tn,
modern schools from Titan and Ralph
ael and Correggio TO Bonnat Vor
Uhde and Holman Hunt did not take
up the debasements of the dark ages
but swept them clean away, goins
straight back to the freseoes of thu

Caracas, Venezuela, Aug 27-Cui-

of Bolivar. has been bombarded by
Venezuelan government warships
and many persons were killed or
wounded. The place has a large
British population and the British
subjects have requested that a war.
ship of Great Britain be sent for their
protection. 1t is alleged that atroci.
ties have been committed at Cuidad
Bolivar by both the government
troops and tile revolutionists.
Cuidad Bolivar is still in the power
Of the revolutionists. The town was
fred upon day and night by the gum
boats Bolivar and Restaurador. which
attempted to land forces to reoceupy
the place. About 500 shells were fired
into the city. When the ammunition
of the Restaurador was exhausted
she left for La Guiara TO obtain addi-
tional supplies after which the bonn
bardment will be resumed.
There are no foreign warships in
the Orinoco river to protect the inter

quarters for abandoning the 5000 sub
