WARLIKE MANEUVERING.- 1t is a
significant fact that at PrOvincetOwn.
Mass, the largest fleet of warships
ever assembled for active duty under
the American flag, are now practic-
ing maneuvers, for active service
possibly, which taken in connection
with activities at various points on
this coast, of warships, leave no doubt
but that our venerable Uncle is de-
termined not to be caught mapping
by any move on the chess board of
national expediency. The forty-four
vessels. including fourteen battle
ships, cruisers, torpedo boats, sub
marines, refrigerator ships, tenders
and supply ships. are drawn up in
two parallel lines extending around
Race Point along the Cape to Truro.
four miles below. At the head of the
line is Rear-Admiral Schroeder S
flagship, the Connecticut. The
crews number fifteen thousand men.
One week, the first and second di-
visions of the fleet will go outside for
practice and maneuvers, two other
divisions remaining inside. The d.
vision will alternate throughout the
maneuvers 4 week at time. AL
though the maneuvers are supposed
to be secret, it is known from the
presence of targets that target prac-
tice will be taken up, rs well as the
customary rOrk on the celebration
range, and the Standardization tests.
Perhaps the greatest interest will be
in the demonstrations of the new
skeleton masts, or fire control
tops, which have changed the APP
pearance of warships.

caused by the growth OF fungus
threads or mycelium through the In
terror tissues Of the leaf. which they
destroy and cause 10 turn brown. Soon
mats q fungus tissue are formed
which produce small pustules near the
center Of the spot. These pustules

The most practical treatment for
this disease Is frequent cutting. All
of the hay should be removed from
the field ms early as possible In order
that few shattered leaves may be left
on the ground. BY this means most
OF the spores are removed from the
field, leaving the new shoots compare,

II is best to cut the alfalfa, whether
II Is ready or not, and allow tho hay
