This large force in Maine was purely
Imaginary. The commander of the small
United States force south of the Merri-
mac river was to remain south of that
river and hold open one of the bridges
across it until the imaginary force could
get down from Maine Every move of
the United States force north of Boston
consequently was founded on the move
ments and intentions of the imaginary
force in Maine. The chief umpire repre-
scented this imaginary commander in
Maine. and in this manner controlled the
movements of the real commander of the
United States troops north of Boston.
Similarly the commander of the small
foreign force in Boston had to protect
that city until a large force could be sent
to his assistance by sea from New York
This large force was imaginary. Every
move of the real foreign force In Boston
depended on the moves and intentions or
the imaginary force coming to his as
sistance. The chief umpire represented
the commander of this imaginary force,
and was thus given control over the COM
mander of the real foreign force IN
this way the chief umpire, by represent
ing two higher imaginary commanders
in cooperation with which each of the
real commanders had to work, was able
to do with the opposing forces pretty
much what he chose, just as a coach-
man guides his team with the two relnS.
LAS may he imagined, it is no simple
task to make all the arrangements lot

dogged perseverance, and worked out the

His reward was being appointed teacher

Meanwhile, he had put curb on his nat

the subject in hand, but soon after his
