TO Get The ENEMY
Reds Must Keep Blue Army
From LeavenwOrth.
Fifty Miles Apart, Each VIII
Start Same Day.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 17-Kan-
sans are to see next week the game
of modern warfare played with the
modern equipment of the regular
army and national guard, with
throops trained in the modern fash
ion. There will not be anything about
it to remind one of the old border
warfare days when muskets didn't
We're close enough together to throw
stones at each other.
The Blue and the Red armies of
the western division of the regular
army and a regiment of Missouri Ma
tional Guards will play a game of hide
and seek somewhere between Law
renee and Fort Leavenworth, begin
ming Monday morning.
The Red army will start from Law
renee Monday morning and will at
tempt to intercept the Blue army,
which will start from Merriam, Kan,
or Overland Park at the same time.
Nobody except the umpires and the
directing heads of the movements
know the problem in advance, and
will not know it until they are face
to face with the emergency of doing
battle in the style they would be call
ed upon to do if they were in con-
flict with real enemy.
Leavenworth Objective Point.
The Blue army will march from
Overland Park in roundabout way
"a very deceptive way to the enemy,
of course-to Fort Leavenworth,
where it is to be stationed to defend
that part of the country from the Red
army, which is just as determined that
the Blue army shall not reach Fort
Leavenworth.
If the Red army succeeds in cut
ting off the Blue army and outpoint-
ing it in the problem of war that Is
to be worked out in the mimic battles,
then the Red army will be the victor
and Kansas will be in the hands OF
the enemy.
If the Blue army succeeds in elud-
ing the watchfulnesS of the Red army,
which will be out in search of it
with all kinds of modern weapons of
war, and marches into Leavenworth
without even a scratch then there
will be a big laugh on the Red army.
ssThe enemy IS on the way to Fort
Teayenworth; find it and capture it,
IS about the extent of the order which
the Red army probably will have. With
"a miles between them, and the Blue
army using all it's skill in the game of
war to reach its destination in safety
it will mean war problem on a bigger
scale than has ever been played in
Kansas before.
Ready for Army Attack.
That doesn't mean that the Blue
army is going to do any running from
fright to get out of the way of the
Red army The Blue army will feel
itself amply able to cope with most
anything il meets, from muskets tc
machine guns. 1t will be all hristleds
up if it does encounter the Red 1rmy.'

Providence. r. I, Aug. 17-with
cheering and songs and prayer. the
Progressive party's national campaign
was opened here last night. Theodore
Roosevelt came to Rhode Island, which
he described as a boss-ridden state, to
open the campaign. and received well
come which. as he put it. would have
done credit TO Kansas"
When Colonel Roosevelt reached
Providence at o'clock he found sew
eraI thousand persons massed in the
square before the railroad station and
on the street leading to his hotel. The
crowd blocked the way and cheered
him until he stood up in his automo-
bile and made a speech He was halt
ed a second time in front of the city
hall and made another address.
Three hours later Colonel Roosevelt
stood on the stage at Infantry hall,
laughing and waving his hands at the
crowd which was wedged into the big
building For several minutes the PEG
pie cheered- The band played patriotic
airs and the colonel beat time Out
side the building we're hundreds who
F-ere unable to get in.

But the tug of both armies, the earn
estness of the game, the determination
of one army to win over the other and
the actual rivalry of the warmest kind
that exists between the two armies
makes the interest of the officers and
men as intense as if in actual warfare.
There will be infantry, cavalry the
machine gun companies, the heavy ar
tiIlery, the signal corps, engineers and
the ambulance corps in the war prob
lem and each army will have about the
same strength.
Several of the officers of the Third
