Its harbor by eighteen of Uncle Sans
big warships, which will swope down
upon the metropolis. bent upon re-
| ducing it to ashes" from a scientific
| point of view.
Avoiding the giant forts at the
mouth of the >barbor, the hostile ships
will seek to attack the city through
the back door, coming down Long Is
land sound. Tie sole barrier that
stands between the city and destruc-
ton is the fleet of defenders that is
assembling in Gardeners bay, out
| numbered and outgunned by the en-
envy, but lacking not a whit in cour-
age.
And it will be the gus of our own
ships that will be turned against us,
for the pick of the United States At
lantic fleet will make the attack, NOM
mated as the enemy for the purpose
of the sham battle.
Against this armada will stand the
squadron of naval vessels aided by
the torpedo boat flotilla and the sub
marine fleet and backed by a big,
swift aeroplane. Upon this slender
string does the safety of New York
lang.
Under Rear Admiral Hugo Oster-
haus, commander-in-chief of the Allan
tic fleet the combined maneuvers of
the regulars and volunteers are being
held. The better to teach the land
lubbers sea ways, many of the militia
of the coast states have embarked on
the big fighters and have become part
of the daily routine aboard ship.
Other of their comrades will man
the ships regularly assigned to the
various state organizations, and they
will take up the burden or the defense.
Thus men of each command will gain
knowledge of both ends of the sea
fighting game.
The secretary of the navy, George
Won L. Meyer, through his aids, has
prepared the most ambitious program
thus far attempted for the combined
operations.
The results of putting the naval
militiamen on board the battleships
and making them live and work like
real bluejackets for a week or more
have proved most successful. 1t
brings about, in addition to other ad-
vantages, feeling of friendliness be-
tween the real sailor at sea and the
near-sailor ashore.
