will fail to reach that camp befora the. fast advancing Massachusetts reg iments of the Red army The Red army has something of an advantage so far as distance is concerned, be- ing trffle nearer to Long Hill than the Blues. Unless the Blues can reach Long Hill first it is apparent that the Reds will gain a decisive victory by taking over that camp. Then this bri- gade of Blues would find itself crowded back toward Bedding Ridge. without affording the check to the Reds which apparently was contemplated today.
 The Reds seemed today to be clos ing In upon the forces which are pro- tecting Bedding Ridge. Any number of Skirmishes were reported and 1t iB believed at press time that regiments of the Red army are already upon Bridgeport and that this city will be in the hands of the enemy tonight.
 The first real accident to the army aeroplanes took place in Huntington, today, when the engine of Lieutenant FOulOiS aeroplane missed fire and he was obliged to volplane to the5 ground. He landed in the middle Of fthe Red army and narrowly escaped a1ightfnE chine was smashed but he escaped in- jury He was taken to headquarters in an automobile and the machine lowed back to the aviation field
 The Second Brigade. New York Ma tional Guard, which was in camp at Brooklawn last night, pulled out. about o'clock this morning, presumably for Long Hill, though it's direct course was unknown among the men. The soldiers who were camped at East Bridgeport last night are thougnt to. have joined forces with tEe others in the march for Long HfH.
 There were reports about today to the effect that President Taft's son, who is a student of Taft school at Watertown, was in this city last night and encamped with the Blue army at the Lakeview farm. The report could not be verified this forenoon
 The Blue army has established head quarters about a mile from Bedding Ridge, across the valley, thus retreat ing from the quarters at Long Hi1L
 A wireless telegraph outfit has been placed in windmill tower on the in Bedding Ridge, and men of the sig nal corps are stationed there with field glasses, sweeping the country so as to report the approach of the enemy to the Blues.
 The right wing of the Red army which for the past two days has been slowly driving the Blue army back toward Danbury, today took another whack at, the enemy's left wing in what was called the battle Of Walnut Tree Hill. The battle took place in Huntington, where the Blue army con- certrated most of it's forces after be- ing defeated in yesterdays fight at Long Hll. As the Blue army slowly retreats it becomes stronger as it will have, as it hears it's base of supplies at Danbury, the use of the artillery which as yet has taken no part in the campaign. The use of the artillery the Blues look to check the Red ad- vance on the back door entrance to the Croton water shed.
 Early today the two armies were greeted with a rain which laid the dust. This was followed by one of the hottest days of the season The

further strengthen the alleged rivalry
 between the girl widow and Mrs. Ava
 Willing Astor, divorced wife of Col
 Astor now in Europe. Mrs. Ava Will
 ing Astor has announced that she will
 hereafter be known as Mrs. John Ja-
 cob Astor.
 By the terms of the will of Colonel
 Astor, young John Jacob Astor, to- day, became the possessor of $3, 1000, ,00C
 outright, which he may dispose of by
 will during his minority. Had little
 John Jacob Astor been one of twins
 or event of triplets, each child, by
 the Astor will, would have received
 8. GOO, 600.
 Lawyers interested in the great As tor estate, today were wondering if the arrival of the baby boy would complicate matters
 It was recognized as a possibility that Mrs Astor might contest the will in behalf of her child. It was ad- mitted that the provision of S3.000.- 900 was not very favorable to the new baby considering the sums that other Astor children, especially Vincent would receive The father of Mrs,
 Astor, when asked about the possi- bility of a will contest evasively re-
 piled that his daughter had not de- cided to contest Asked if such an action had been considered, he said he could not say what the future might bring forth.
 Though, as matters stood, today, | the youngest Astor will have but s. 900 900, he began life in s10O00 nur- sery, the costliest ever known on the avenue and he probably will reside in the historic Aetor mansion. his fathers will having left that to Mrs Astor during her life time Tn the event of will contest, the youngsters
 inheritance might be vastly increased cent Astor, he would be the head of the Astor family and fortune.t
