Good Railroad System.

The railroad system of the region
adapts itself to maneuvers apart from it's
value in the preliminary detraining. The
Housatonic line not far back from the
river is not only base of military sup
plies, but a line for Recommendation of
troops for an advance or retreat. Its
branch from Hawleyville to Shelton can
do the same strategic work on a line east
and west; the Danbury and Norwalk
branch of the New Haven road connects
with Danbury, one of the mobilization
points and would bring a retreating force
some fifteen miles nearer to New York !:
the double track of the Naugatuck
reaches along or near the whole campaign
front from the sound to Waterbury, an
advance post of the invading Reds, and
finally there is the main stem of the six
tracked New Haven road, the line along
which the advance of the Red division.
in the theory of the campaign, has been
pushed from Providence to New Haven.
1t is the road of what. in this campaign.
seems the line of greatest resistance-at
least defenSiveiy-in a region where the
railroad an elemental fact of modern
warfare may have vivid illustration.
Formed in Quadrangles.
The entire area for the war game is
in the quadrangles of Danbury. Derby,
from the United States geological sur
veys. The war maps which have been
supplied to officers show the limitations OF
the field of movements. The southerly
boundary is that portion of Long Island
from New Haven to Bridgeport and then
continued on a line through Fairfield and
Wilton to the Norwalk line. The easter
ly line runs from New Haven through to
Prospect at a point directly east of Nau-
gatuck.
The northerly boundary starting from
the latter point runs through Naugatuck
just above the business section and thence
through Middlebury and Bridgewater to
the center Of New Fairfield. giving about
ten miles Of the latter town as a field for
thanking movements were not Danbury,
the extreme right objective Of the in
vaders, very close to the New York state
boundary, which at the upper part of the
westernmost boundary forms a portion
of the line running to the juncture with
the southern boundary in Norwalk.
Nearly every town in the area can be
designated a hill town. The towns over
which warfare will be conducted are:
Prospect. Naugatuck. Oxford Seymour,
Woodbridge. Bethany. Orange, Milford,
Stratford Huntington, Morrow Trura-
bull. Southbury, Middlehury, Bridge

Many Summer Visitors.

The entire theater is vastly different
from that over which the advance on
Boston was made few years ago. Pre-
sumably the activities on both sides will
be confined to the towns which are Oh
rectly on the watersheds of the two large
rivers already mentioned. In the area
outside of the cities there are few IA
cilities for securing information of the
Whereabouts of the various commands.
The entire district is a place to which
summer visitors resort. and wherever
the troops go they will see crowds OF
summer girls and matrons. who will
look upon the maneuvers as an added at
traction of their summer outings.
The cities of the Housatonic valleys
are hives of industry as well. as from
Bridgeport to Waterbury is the largest
section given up to copper and brass in
dustry in the United States. Excellent
country roads will give opportunities for
automobile owners to be in the very cen
ter of military activities.

Sanitation a REQUISITE.

The idea that sanitation must be oh
tanned in order to keep a community fiy-
less, or nearly so. generally has taken
root in the awakened conscience of
American civic life, and it is believed that
this fall will witness the Inauguration of
an era OF municipal cleanup campaigns
which will be nation-wid in it's scope
Billions Of flies in every state OF the
Union will have been destroyed by the
time fall arrives. Each seasons f1y popu-
lation is developed from limited number
OF insects that manage to survive the
winter months. With the horde of pests
remaining at the end of September much
reduced in size. as the result of wide
spread efforts made In that direction, it
is reasonable to suppose that fewer flies
numbered among the survival of the fit
test. will be on hand next spring to bring
on the 1913 crop of insects Cleanup
campaigns In the fall and spring will do
much to make living conditions for the
early flies extremely unfavorable, and if
active hostilities are kept up during the
season. many cities and towns may look
forward to a practically f1yless era by an
other twelve months.
The cool weather of the present month
undoubtedly has destroyed many flies
in Washington and delayed the develop
ment of others. Contestants in the Au-
gust campaign are not making the high
scores that they did In July and many
OF them report that in the sections where
their activities largely have been con-
fined heretofore the insects have become
extremely scarce.

Rivers in Territory.

Two rivers. the Housatonic and it's
largest lower tributary. the Naugatuck,
cut the campaign territory each with
many smaller streams and connecting
valleys. OF these the Naugatuck with its
many bridges, easily fordable at almost
every point save where damned, and in
summer drought falling to the size of a
trout brook, has small bearing on the
maneuvers except in the most theoretic
sense. The HouSatonic, however, cuts a
larger figure in the sham warfare. 1t has
few bridges, and for some fifteen miles
from it's mouth including it's tidal waters
and the long setback of three miles by
the Derby dam, it is non-fordable. 1t
thus affects about two-thirds of the dis
lance of the frontal strategy of the mimic
campaign. But above in it's swifter and
broader reaches, less than knee deep. it
can be crossed readily by the offensive
and defensive armies.
lends itself well to strategy. Country
roads cut it in all directions and intersect
at all angles. state highway with
its improved bed skirts the shore of the
sound: another traverses the whole Maui
gatuck valley and part of the HOusa-
tonic, and there is another fine road from
Stratford to Danbury. Open meadows
in fair abundance save in the wooded
areas give campaign grounds, and the
farmhouses as bases of supplies are sup
plemented usually by villages not too far

"Reds" to Battle With "Blues.'

The geographical layout of the army
maneuvers of the Reds and Blues at
lacking and defending New York city
next week may be roughly described as a
truncated triangle with its lower apex
cut off by a line of some twelve miles
between Stratford and New Haven. The
upper base of the triangle. thirty miles
long, reaches from Waterbury, the right
wing of the advance division of Reds,
to Danbury, the western mobilization
point of the Blues: and another side OF
some twenty miles stretches from STRAIT
ford to Danbury. The whole region.
which includes some 80 square miles,
adapts itself well to military maneuvers.
Near the shore of Long Island sound
on the south the lane dips TO gently
rolling meadows and levels which tit well
into the scheme of open tactics. There
brigades and regiments can meet in plain
battle without intervening hill or con-
cealing woodlands. But a few miles in
land the lay of the land changes. The
open levels give way to the bold fronts
the sharp curves and thick woods and
underbrush of the Housatonic and Maui
gatuck valleys. There are ravines hills
that in places rise to little mountains,
and large areas given over to the hunter
in October and the trout fisherman in the
spring

AGAINST THE FLIES

Following the example of Washingt on.
Clarendon. Va. is preparing to inaugurate
regime of sanitation designated to make
that community model of cleanliness.
War is to be declared on filth and flies.
DR. John l.. Norris, assistant health
officer of the District of Columbia and
DIR. Arthur L. Murray of the local health
department have been invited to address
the Clarendon Citizens Association on the
subject of sanitation next Tuesday even
ing. The meeting will be held in the
Clarendon engine house, and WILL in all
probability be followed by the adoption
of plans for a health crusade in the
suburban section.
Dr. Murray, who is supervisor of The
Stars fly war and secretary of the clean
city committee. will tell Clarendon resi-
dents what was accomplished in the
clean city campaign conducted here in
April and also outline the accomplish
ments of the fly war which is not to
terminate until the end of September. 1t
is probable that Clarendon will decide
on fall cleanup campaign.
Towns Follow Example.
One of the gratifying results of Wash
lnStOn war on the fly which started
year ago and has now developed into
great national campaign is the inter-
est which small towns and rural commu-
mites are taking in the movement. The
effort to eradicate the germ carrying
pests by no means is confined to large
cities
An inspector of the District health de-
partment. who has returned from a trip
west, has informed DIR. Murray that in a
number of small towns which he visited
he found that merchants, generally, had
provided themselves with large fly traps
which are being used in addition to sticky
fly paper. In many of these communities.
he stated. the traps have been placed on
the sidewalks and in public places, and
even railroad stations have been provided
with them.
Washington generally is given the
credit for having aroused the nation to
the importance of destroying the fly, it
is stated. and, in large number of cities
and towns where fly wars have been in
augurated, methods of conducting them
have been patterned largely after those
employed in the National Capital.
The women of the country are taking
an active part in the fight. Women
clubs and civic leagues have been or
ganiZed in numbers since the beginning
of the year and almost invariably the
first work to be undertaken by them is
that directed toward the abolition of the
fly.
