fond Of General Porter, could not bear
TO send him home a disappointed man.
and not only made it possible for him
to find an unmarked leaden coffin, but
were careful to see that the identified
ton was full and complete"
So little is known of the circum-
stances surrounding the burial of Jones
that much of the story must be in
ferred and there is no particular rea-
son to infer that he was buried in an
American uniform, because he was not
in the service Of the United States at
the time Of his death, but had lately
left the Russian service Further. 1t IS
by no means certain, even assuming
his body was much swollen at the time
Of his death. that it would remain IN
that condition for 100 years. And. final
~, it must be admitted that General
Porter, having been on the ground and
busy with this search for several years
was in a position to know as much
about it as Mr.. Watson knows. General
Porter says the body is that Of Jones'
and we prefeTe to accept his statement
It doesn't really matter whether the
body is Jones or not, however. The
purpose is to honor the memory and
achievements Of the great admiral and
that purpose viii have been accom-
plished by the removal to the United
States of the body that has been found
unless Mr.. Watson or somebody else is

PLAYING THE WAR GAME.

Let us now turn for a moment to the
real war game. At midnight on June
II a savage. though innOcUous. naval
assault to last six days viii begin
against the defeuses of Washington and
Baltimore. Rear Admiral Dickius. in
command of a formidable fleet of United
States battleships. cruisers. torpedo
boats. etc, after carefully locking UP
all the ammunition. viii begin hostile
operations against the cities named.
While the shore batteries. with guns
equally empty. viii put up a desperate
resistance. The contiguous waters have
been sOWn with dozens of mines that
would be dangerous if loaded. but they
a-e not loaded. During part of the pro
Ceedings it viii be assumed that the
mines are not there at all: at other
times it viii be admitted that the mines
are not only i'm existence but i'm a de-
s.ructive frame of mind.
Naval and artillery experts will
watch the proceedings closely for the
purpose of making deductions for use
If actual war should break out. The
exercises will supply some interesting
problems for the experts and. while II
all seems extremely silly at first glance.
valuable lessons may be drawn from
the performances. Tt viii be just like
real war except that no shots will be
fired and no mines exploded. The
hostile" ships have been painted i'm
different colors and VIII endeavor to
sneak by the fortresses and their
searchlights. while the shore defensez
viii make every effort to discover the
vessels and either give them an mag
mary hoist with the UnlOaded mines OF
figurative1y sink them with the empty
guns on the other hand, the vessels
in addition to trying to slip by the
forts, will attempt to demolish the shore
defenses.
The exercises viii provide a good test
Of the relative efficiency Of the fleet and
the shore defenses and the outcome
may disclose weaknesses in one OF the
other that are at present not known.
