Camp Young, West Point, KY, Oct.
5.-After having bivouacked all, night
in the woods six miles down the Nash
vile pike, nearly 1000 troops awoke
this morning to a day of hard work at
the game of war. The air was cool
and bracing, after last nights showers.
The forces were astir early and as
the morning advanced the internit-
tent cracking of Krags, as skirmishers
from, the opposing forces felt out the
position of 1.-The enemy" was super
seeded by heavy firing which at times
became a veritable "roar" Of battle.
To-day's vancouver, was based on
the establishment of an outpost by
the Brown army and it's attack by the
Blues. The attacking force was given
a little more weight to compensate for
having to work on outside lines. The
Brown forces moved out late yesterday
afternoon and bivouacked.
Artillery was used for the second
time since the maneuvers began and
the affair proved the most important
of any thus far, the number of mer
engaged being more than twice those
engaged during any previous move.

papers said," she went on, but l was
a very bad woman. I had my car
