that the army Of the east and the

coast defenses and the navy, are kept
busy in field operations and naval
maneuvers as they are at no other
time Of the year.
Interest in this war game centers in
the east, because there not only the
soldiers. but the navy and the coast
defenses enter into the spectacular
display. which will continue through
