 l It is expected that the troops will l be kept in their camps over Sunday
 although there may be a. few minor
 movements Sunday, but that is not l the instrucional period will begin. On 1 these days the hikes will be short l probably not to exceed five miles a l day. As planned the men will not
 leave camp until eight o'clock in the l morning and return or go into camp
 shortly after three in the afternoon. This arrangement will be far more
 pleasing to the militia of the several 1 states than past meneuvers when they
 marched from sunrise to sunset. The i first concentration of forces on both
 sides will be for few hours only and
 will simply bring the forces into the 1 sphere of operations. After that they
 will be shuff1ed around to cover l strategic points in accord with the plans of the game.
 The layout of the meneuverS forms
 a triangle with it's lower apex cut of by a line of some twelve miles be- l tween Stratford and New Haven. The upper base of the triangle, about 30
 miles long, reaches from Waterbury
 the right wing of the Red Army, te l Danbury, the western mobilization | point of the Blue Army. The third
 side stretches from Stratford to Dan bury and the whole includes about 450 square miles of territory. In this triangle is some of the toughest and
 widest country in the state and the engineers will have their hands full
 in mapping out each day the follow ing days line of march.
 The use of the wireless in the maneuvers, the first time, it has beer tried out under battle conditions vii be watched with interest. Three sta | tions have been set up by the Sigma Corps, one at headquarters, Paradise Green, one at Milford and another al Long Hill, in Trumbull which will be
 an observation point for the Blue
 Army.
