TO PLAY WAR ON GIGANTIC SCALE
Regulars and Militia Take Part in Big Game This Summer
A Minimum of Ceremony and No Merely Spectacular
Exhibitions--Detail Provide For Progressive
Work and Long Practice Marches.

Washington, D. c. Preparations
have been completed by the War De-
partment for joint maneuvres during
the coming summer of all branches OF
the regular service and many State
militia organizations, for which Con-
gress has appropriated $1,000 900.
Instruction camps will be established
and maneuvres held for one month
at each place, as follows:
Pine Plains, N. Y, June Is to July
Is.
Chickamauga Park, Ca, July.
Leon Springs, Texas, July.
American Lake, Wash, August.
Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., August.
Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind, Sep
TENDER.
Fort Riley, Kan, September.
Atascadero Ranch, Cal, October.
The army maneuvres, which are to
be on a scale never before attempted
in the United States, are to be car
ried out by Major-General Frederick
D. Grant with the regulars of the De-
partment of the East and a large force
of militia. The operations, says Gen
eral Grant, will include more men and
cover wider territory than any pre-
Vlous, and, as far as can be, they will
offer an approximation of warfare.
The plan of campaign includes two
separate series of operations, the first
on the coast, the second inland. A
series of coast defense maneuvres will
be carried On simultaneously at the
various Notifications from Baltimore
to Boston. After four weeks of this
coast defense practice, the comman-
der believes, the troops, both regulars
and national guards, will be thor
oughly seasoned to powder, while the
officers will have gained great famil-
iarity with the particular styles of
maneuvre involved, and the chiefs in
command will have plenty of valu-
able records as to the performances
of the troops and the efficiency of the
individual officers.
A month or more later will come
the inland maneuvres. They will be-

Dead in Paris.


Paris, France.-A sensation has
been caused in the art world by the

dence in the Rue de Vanguard, which

Lion and Unicorn.

The animosity which was supposed
to exist between these beasts, as re-
ferred to by Spenser in his "Faerie
Q%ueene." is allegorial of the deep.
rooted ill-will which anciently existed
between England and Scotland. Ever
since 1903 the royal arms have been
supported, as now, by the English
lion and the Scottish unicorn, in to-
ken of the fact that St. George and
st. Andrew had at last shaken hands
and forgotten their old differences.

Boston.-Upon the authenticity of
a new will and two codicils, which
provide for a bequest of $4,000 to
President Roosevelt, depends the dis
