The Joint Maneuvers.
I'M the New YORK Herald.

FROM Tue .NeN iofA
After lapse Of eight years the army
and the navy have again been COM
bined in exercises that began Saturday
night and are to continue during six
days. Their object is to test the at
lacking and defensive possibilities or
the fleet and of the shore emplacements,
and to discover, in the light of practice
Stimulating that of war as nearly as
may be. what developments are neces-
sary afioat and ashore.
Since 1906. when the joint maneuvers
last took place, many changes have
been introduced in the scheme of coast
defense. Besides important accessions
on the material SIDE the organization
OF the coast artillery has been SO
stanua rdized that its efficiency has
been enhanced and it's methods have
become rigorous in application. Even
to greater degree, perhaps, new
tacti.s have been worked out and
adopted for the navy in order to salts
fy the more trying conditions. 1t is
expected that the joint operations will
be fruitful i'm results. and that their
different phases will furnish reveal
Ing test of the gain made by both
forces in the theory and practice Of
coast warfare.

IL is stated that only the quick Wit OF
the notoruan ON the rear collidtng car
which figured in the Glen Ecao road
wreck last night prevented a serious loss
of life. The car ahead had lost its power
through tine dropping OF the plow leads
and all the lights we're extinguished eN-
cept the small oil signal lamp in the rear.
So short VAS the headway, the cars oper-
ating on a t1o-minute 'streah." and SO
high was the speed. that the rear car was

but il should be said that they are under
some obligations to do as MUCH rs pos
sible to insure continuous and convenient

AS a rule the car conductors in this city
are courteous and considerate of the wei
fare of the passengers. They are subject
to certain rules which they must obey.
but in some cases they are inclined to
be too literal in their Interpretation oil
those rules, as. for instance IN the case
of the conductor who few weeks ago
refused to accept at 10Th street ana Ne"
York avenue a transfer that was tecn-
nically good" only at 18th street ana
PENNSYLVANIA avenue, two blocks beyond
on the same line. Conductors should
exercise reasonable margin of discretion
too, in the accepting of transfers on the
score of the time limit. They should have
no difficulty in determining whether the
passenger is honest or otherwise in pre-
scnting a transfer after the time punched.
Mistakes unquestionably occur in the
punching of the slips and it is remark
able considering the conditions under

there is not more inaccuracy. In TINS

because the passenger involved is q mem

affect the merits Of the situation All

More trouble on q local street car between
congressman and conductor over the
validity OF j transfer has just occurred

that there is carelessness on both sides In
tits matter of the issue and acceptance
OF transfer slips. Passengers should look
stteatively at their transfers when they
receive them to make sure that they are
getting them in the right form. They
should also note the destinations of the
cars. Only BY safeguarding their own
Interests have they any ground whatever
for complaint. IL they take the wrong
c,.rs or accept wrongly punched transfers
they nave only themselves to blame when
later trouble arises. and il is unfair to
conductors for them to make an issue

standings and mistakes. Each passenger
