Attempt by Reds" to Pierce

MANEUvERS HEADQUARTERS.
ETRATFORD, Conn.,, Aug. 14.-Lieu-
tenant Foulois, of the United States
aviation corps, while out scouting in
his machine today, made an exceed
ingly rapid descent while over Bots
ford and when reaching the ground
the machine struck a stone wall
was smashed. The lieutenant had
started to glide at a height of l,5o0
feet when something apparently went
wrong. The drop was precipitate.
The lieutenant was unhurt.
A squad from the aviation corps
was SEM to Botsford to assist the
lieutenant In salvaging the aeroplane.
At Botsford last night was the
camp of the Fifth United States Reg
.ulars and the First Vermont. and
Lieutenant Foulois left here early to-
day to scout in thai vicinity. carry
ing maps and other necessary equip
ment for the trip.
An attempt to pierce the centre of
the BLUE army defending New York
city failed this morning and for the
time being the eneny's advance was
successfully checked.
Today's battle, although five in
fantry regiments and six troops OF
cavalry were engaged, was only pre-
liminary, however, to an approaching
general engagement which will in
volve upwards of $1,000 men.
Fighting started before the mid
summer sun had begun to bake the
Connecticut hills. Flushed with con-
idence from his victorious advance
yesterday, General Smith. the Red
commander, evidently planned TO
send a heavy column through the
Blue centre. He expected to be op-
posed only by the First New Jersey
infantry, but General Mills, the Blue
commander. quickly threw the
Fourth and Fifth New Jersey regi-
ments into the action, and after a
lively engagement at Huntington
Centre occupied high lands at Red
ding. Fearing the Blue artillery,
General Smith decided not to con-
tinue the attack and went into
bivouac.
The enemy had in action Two Mas
sachusetts regiments, reinforced by
four troops of the Tenth United
States Cavalry and the first and Sec
ond troops of the New York cavalry.
The two armies now face each other
on an eight-mile front. extending
s~outheasterly from Danbury. where
the Blues have their base. The first
move forward by the Reds Is ex-
pected to bring on a battle, for both
commanders are concentrating their
forces at this point.

JERSEYMEN, TIRED
OF DRILL, ANXIOUS

From a STAFF Correspondent.

NEW JERSEY BRIGADE HEAD
QUARTERS, CONNECTICUT MAN
EUvERS CAMPAIGN, Aug. a.
Army life has its drawbacks and the
New Jersey Volunteers experienced
some of them the first day of the
present campaign, but three pleasant
days, with plenty to eat and drink
and nothing more to worry about
than the approach of the Fostering
Reds, have put the men in fine
humor.
Last night, through the dimly
lighted camp of the New Jersey
brigade the merry laughter of the
boys and their harmonious war melo-
dies could be plainly heard across the
hills at brigade headquarters. II
there was n fear lodged in their
beating breasts it was not betrayed
by their actions. II the experiences
Of hunger and privation, exposure
and exhaustion of the first days in
camp had been a hardship It was en-
tirely forgotten.
The policy of the present campaign,
while intended to present all the ext
gencies of real warfare, has been one
of generous consideration for the
comfort and extent of endurance of
the volunteer forces.
Little Work Today.
1t was agreed last night among
the field umpires and officers to give
the men only four hours field drill
TODAY and allow them the balance 4
the time to rest and enjoy them
selves.
With bodies well fed, but somewhat
weary and footsore over a hard day
on the road and at field drill. the men
marched into camp at dusk last
night. A good supper put them in
happy mood and the different COM
panies sat around their camp-fires
and between puffs of smoke ex-
changed stories or sang songs, IS
their pleasure willed.
The Red enemy, on the other side
of the Housatonic, was TEMPORARY.
forgotten unless for a testing remark
from some proviate as to what he
would do to the Reds or what they
might do to him.
The partial day of rest today be-
speaks a more difficult proposition
for the balance of the week. :
The regiments are restless for the
chance to do some real shooting, even
with blank cartridges. There is /,
thrill to the click of a rifle at field
drill and tho boys want to see smoke
