MIMIC WARFARE.
Two Battleships destroyed" Passing

Two Battleships destroyed" Passing
Through the Narrovs.
New York, June 15.-The battleships
Connecticut and Alabama. under COM
mand of Rear Admiral ! Evans. were
trebly destroyed" while passing
through the Narrows on their way
from the jamestown Exposition to the
New York navy yards. Admiral Evans,
who evidently had not been appraised
OF the war game which has been going
on at the Narrows for a week past.
was a much amazed man at the sudden
roar of the guns at Forts Hamilton
and Wadsworth. He rushed to the
bridge of the Connecticut and gazed
first at one noisy fort and then at the
other. Then one of his officers en-
lightened him about the sham war"
between the forts manned by regular
coast artillerymen and National
Guardsmen and small boats manned by
regulars representing a hostile fleet.
the PURPOSE of which was to test the
alertness of the guardians of the sea
approach to New York city.
The officers at Forts Hamilton and
Wadsworth learned from Fort Han
cock at Sandy Hook that two real bat
tleships were passing in the hook. 1t
was jokingly decided to destroy" them
ana Tic lOIl OoI az
cordingly. The fog was dense and the
Alabama got within 1000 vars of Fort
Wadsworth before being seen. The
Connecticut was about 500 yards
astern. First the two forts mortars
were fired at the two battleships. Pres
emily 1t was announced at the forts
that the warships had been sunk. New
ertheless the IL and 6-inch guns were
used and the result was double de-
struction Hastily the mines in the
Narrows were exploded and for the
third time the Connecticut and Ala
bama were annihllated. The war game
is now ended and New York was saved
from capture. But Fort Wadsworth
was crippled and rendered useless ac-
cording to the rides because a landing
party of ten regulars from Fort Han
cock led by Lieutenant R. H. Jordan
made its way through the Narrows,
landed at stapleton. stole into the for
tifcation seized the power house and
turned off the lights. This meant the
fort was put out of action because
there was no current to fire the guns.
Lieutenant Jordan is the hero of the
weeks fighting inasmuch as he proved
what might be done to the city's de-
lenses in real war.

SUNDAY, JUNE 10, 1907.
THE LATE SENATOR MORGAN.

Senator Morgan was buried yester-
day. The occasion will justify us, we
think. in recurring to him.
= The variety of his gifts was his dis
tinguishing mark. The people of Ala
hama knew that everything concerning
Alabama ard Alabama's welfare. con-
cerned him. The people of the South
felt just this way about him when our
own section of the Union was involved.
He was distinctly Southerner. He
long since won a national place. be-
cause he took national views. Abroad
his contemporary fame made his name
as familiar. say. as Morley's in Eng
land. Clemenceau's in France. Make
every abatement and he measured up
to the standard of a statesman of the
highest and best school this country
has ever known. Alabama need not
blush to mention his name with CAL
houn, clay and webster. He was con-
spicuous as a type.
He loved Alabama and no one man
aid more to show forth to the
world the industrial possibilities of our
state. He was thinking always how
our conditions might be bettered He
felt in the same way about the South.
and through all his public utterances
there runs a devotion to the South as
the South. Not the less through the
Identical speeches, exhibiting his love
for his own people, there is manifest
his care for and love of the country
as a whole. There was never a mem
Der of Congress from any State with a
broader outlook. II ever he was mis-
taken he had the breadth and fine quail
ity of vision that comes from love of
ones own people.
1t would be easy to tell over stories
of his wonderful memory. of his ac-
accomplishments, of his untiring en-
ergy. his devotion to great causes. Let
these pass. We presume in the name
of the people of Alabama to salute a
great spirit gone.

UPTON SINCLAIR ON DIET.

Upton Sinclair, as all the world
knows, or shoule know, Is a man who

ter say that he is man who writes
many II ings. for he is about as pro-
mscuous as the best of them, and
rambles into many fields of literature.

to eat. In a letter to The New York
Times he hands out his bill of fare
for the benefit of humanity at large.
For breakfast. which should be taken
a, of the clock in the morning, he
prescribes one cup of cold water, with

butter, one saucer of raw cereal and
cream and one saucer of fruit and

There you have wat Upton consid-
ers the proper alimentary caper for
human beings, and it is not to be con-
sldered his fault if an of us fails to
live long and prosper and have sound
minds and strong bodies. To most
readers his breakf st menu is some
what diaphanous. A cus of water and
six raw prunes is rather a small sup

some who insist thu we should never

prunes and wate~ come as near being

His dinner and supper are not so
bad, but there's a grave omission in
the bill of fare. 1t will be noted that
he makes no mention of pie. that
great American dish upon which the
people o. this republic have feasted
since the first white man hit the con-
tinent and which has made OF us the
finest example of ci il.zation known

combinations called pie are liable to
