PEMBROKE, Mass. Aug. 1s.-In a
strenuous attempt to concentrate its
strength against the red army Of invasion
in the mimic war now waged in Massa-
ohusetts with the capture Of Boston as
the object OF the invaders, the blue army
Of defense composed wholly Of Massaehu-
sets militiamen, was early on the move
today. The general Indications were that
today would see the decisive battle Of the
campaign somewhere in the neighborhood
of the historic towns of Plymouth and
Duxbury. .... ..-.
When hostilities closed. yesterday the In
vading army under of Major
General Tasker H.. Bliss and composed of
national guardsmen- from. Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey and the District
Of Columbia assisted by a detachment OF
colored troopers from the Tenth cavalry
stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, was
massed against the left wing of the Mas
sachusetts army, commanded by .Brigadier
General William A. Pew, General Pew's
position was considered as precarious and
his defeat was generally expected by ex-
perienced observers unless he should be
able to mass his blue army against the.
entire red strength.
The first engagement OF. the day oc-
Cured near ~Bryantvflle, a village in this
town, when the Sixth Massachusetts in
fantry and a company Of the coast artil-
cry, acting as infantry, were attacked by
a Connecticut regiment, and the entire Dis
trict Of Columbia infantry force. The con
flict, although nothing more than a
skirmish, was spirited and lasted for more
than an hour.
1t is believed by the officers Of the blue
army that the object of the red attack
on The Sixth Massachusetts, at BryantyiIe
was a ruse to draw the attention Of the
blue commander away from the main body
