Extract From Regulations.

AS a matter of joint exercises any as
symptoms may be made, and these as
sumptfons may be changed from time to
time to meet the conditions of different
phases 1t Is recommended that the chan
nels of approach to the several fortresses
shall be considered mined only for coun-
ter-mlning or removal operations on the
part of the navy, and that for other pur-
poses such as reconnaissance in force. di-
rect attack or running by, they shall be
considered as not mined. 1t is only on
this assumption that such operations
should be considered from naval point of
view. No channels of approach will be
considered as INSTRUCTED by hulks or other
sunken objects.
In view of the narrow channel of ap-
proach to Baltimore dredged channel
and the facility which this channel affords
for mining or obstructing, the operation
of forcing the channel or of running by
the forts is not deemed practicable for
that port. DeStroyerS or other small yes
sells sent up the channel will therefore be
regarded as moving targets only for the
purposes of testing the range-fnding SyS-
tenn and searchlights, and not as engaged
in a military operation, and will not en-
ploy their batteries.
at is understood that the naval vessels
available are the Texas Arkansas, Florida
Massachusetts, Nevada. Hartford and six
destroyers; that all these vessels will be
employed in the attack, and that there will
be no naval defensive force; also, that no
land forces will take part in the attack
THE forts in the various districts named
above will be mobiliZed on a war basis, al
lowing two reliefs for each gun empIaced
with such additional men as may be needed
to furnish three reliefs to the range finders
and the complete complement required for
the submarine mine defenses. In complet-
ing the complement for the submarine mine
defenses neither the company at the tor
pedo school nor any of the officers attached
to that school will be considered as avail
able.
mo lights. buoys or other aids to navi-
CATION will be removed or altered
Under the above limitations. the follow
Ing operations may be attempted by the
navy: (a) Counter-mining or removal of
mines. Crhese operations may be either
constructive or actually {b) Reconnaissance
in force. either by day or night. (c) Run
by night. (d) Gun attacks upon search
If practicable. (e) Such direct attacks upon
the principal defenses as may be consid-
cred feasible. On the part of the army
there will be no infantry or light artillery
forces TO guard against landing expeditions,
defend searchlights, signal stations and
range-fnding stations. The navy will.
therefore. undertake no landing opera
tions."
What is Expected Of the Admiral.
Those are the regulations. and following
are some OF the things Admiral Dickens ha 3
been asked to determine by the exercises:
The best line of attack upon the defenses
III the theater.
The possibility Of siiencing the fixed de-
lenses.
The possibility of running past them.
The method OF reducing and capturing
them. - ~ :.

troll stations, search1ighfs. camps and II.
