New York, Dec. 12.-Supreme Coufe
Justice Joseph Morschauser, a. hls
home in Poughkeepsie. expressed his
disapproval of the action of the
Rockland county jury which. in New
City. Saturday night acquitted Will
liam v. Cleary, of the murder OF his
1s-year-old son in law, Eugene NJ
Newman.
sI was not satisfied with the YER
Dict" Justice Murschausers said. u
had to accept it, but it did not accord

mower to render this verdict if it be-

Of the witnesses.

will. The jury remained out for
more than six hours, and / believed
that a verdict against the defendant
for manslaughter would be found.
That was my view.

Naval War Game to be Extended
To Let Gray-Hmred A dn1n-dls Play

tached to the top CT the pieces indi-
cate which class Of Fighting craft they
represent.
The problems solved are the very
ones which are likely to cause Uncle
Sam the greatest wary in the event
of real war. For example. the great
er number OF them center about the
defense of the Panama canal. the
Philippines and Guantanamo. while
the humiliation OF foreign ships
which seek 10 strike, at our great sea-
ports also receives considerable atten-
ton.
The days work at the naval war
college usually commences with the
posting of a bulletin something like
the following:
German fleet of ten dreadnaughts,
20 destroyers. three auxiliaries and
convoy of merchant: supply ships left
North sea today o coal at Azores,
and then TO proceed TO Guantanamo
to capture it and establish advanced
base for operations against the Pana-
ma canal"
The German feet being the enemy.
they would be repr ssented by the red
ships. Then the maximum speed of
this fleet would be calculated by the
men who are acquainted with the in
innate details concerning all the ships
of the German nsWy and the time
Azores computed W hhin a few hours.
From this point the fleet naturally
would leave the merchantmen behind
and would steam at full speed toward
Guantanamo.
While these calcru lations are being
made, other students of the war game
have been detailed 70 attend to the
work necessary to gather together the
American fleet, supposedly scattered
all along the coast, mobilize it at
central point and prepare to resist the
German attack.
The element OF uncertainty. so
prevalent in actual war, is injected
into the mimic conflict by the system
of signals whereby only the umpire"
knows what is going to take place in
the future. In this manner both ad-
mirals have to gives three signals to
the umpire before the beginning of
the game. These signals" are really
movements which they intend to make
and, as each comman ding officer must
always be three moves ahead of the
game" Gin other words, the umpire
will not read the stscond signal until
ne had received the fourth and so On)
il necessitates quick thinking on the
part Of both the attacking and de-
Tending forces.
The benefit Of the y ar game already
has been marked. TT has given all
the officers who have taken the course
experience which th ey could other
wise have obtained only under fire
and which might have been their last
living act. But the extension of the
game" to the warsh Ups not only VIII
give the naval officers another meth
cd of Willing away the long evenings
at sea, but il will give them the OPP
portunity of fighting their battles even
before the war has begun.

BY VICTOR ELLIOTT.

WASHINGTON. April 81 - Under
an order recently issued by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels, the naval war
game" which has been played for sew
eral years at Newport r l. is TO be
extended to the battleships of the At
lantic fleet 90 that grey haired admi-
rails may play at war together with
the youngest members Of their STATS.
To the average reader this an
nouncement probably means little. To
the expert on affairs military il means
that the government is taking every
precautiOn against a surprise attack
by foreign feet and that all the Of
ficers Of the navy are TO get the bene-
fit of the drilling which formerly was
enjoyed only by a few who were sta
toned at Newport.
Visitors to the naval training sta
ton at the Rhode Island town where
the navy is wont TO make its sum-
mer base, gaze with unconcealed as
constituent at the score or more of
intelligent looking middle-aged men
who apparently spend all their time
moving toy boats about on a large
checker-board placed on the floor
When the visitors are told that the
men playing with the toy fleets are
officers of the United States navy and
not the unfortunate inmates of some
nearby asylum or Sanitarium, their
surprise is even greater.
On their knees, with brows wrink-
led in thought, the players give as
much attention TO their game as IL
the fate of the nation depended upon
their next move. And, indeed. the
fate sof the nation some day may de-
pend on whether these grizzled old
sea~dogs are careful in their calcula-
tions and exact in their measure
ments and plans.
For this is the great naval war
game. designed to give in the limited
confines OF a small room the exact
conditions which will face the ad-
mirals. near admirals and captains of
the American fleets in the event war
should be declared by a foreign pow
er having naval force equal to that
Of the United States.
wooden table, 20 feet square, rep
resenting a portion of the open sea, is
the game board. 1t is of solid con-
structiOn and the top is frequently re-
moved and placed on the floor to
permit the players to get right down
to work" The board is marked off
into four-inch squares, each inch rep
resenting a mile. The board is, there
fore, theoretically 240 miles square
and each square inch of its surface
represents a square mile of open sea.
The pieces for the game consist of
tiny boats. less than an inch long.

ships Of the second line. battleships,
battle cruisers, destroyers. submar-
ines, auixliaries and merchantmen.
Ships of one fleet are enameled blue,
the other fleet red. A pin Is thrust

ship" is moved it may be fastened in
its new position. Colored flags at

MONEY LUST FATAL
SAYS LIPPINCOTT
Pastor Declares Trained Spec
iaIlSt Harmful to Ideal of
EduCatiOn-PIeadS For Bal.
anCed Man.

Too much emphasis is being placed
on money getting in our educational
system today, declared Rev. Q. =. Lip
pincOtt in an address before the
Franklin Civic club at the Franklin
school last night
The ideal OF today. instead Of being
efficiency along money getting lines
specialization along the lines OF a
fraction OF one science. should be
balance, declared the speaker. The
aim of the modern man in getting an
education is defeating the real pur-
pose Of education. i. O., the better
ment Of the man both as an individual
and as a citizen. he said. Rev. MT.
LippincOtt did not believe that aDdn-
dOnment OF specialization and educa-
ton along broad general lines TO be
the solution Of the difficulty, but that
our system OF education is not prop
erly balanced.
''The university dominates our en-
tire educational system from the kin
dergarten upwards" he said. This
IS not in keeping wit hthe needs and
aims Of a democracy But a small
per cent of the school children who
enter the primary grades ever reach
the high school far fewer still ever
graduate from a university. Why then
put the best trained teachers and the
costliest and finest apparatus into the
high schools where il will benefit the
few and let the beginners in teaching
teke care OF the many? Why not
raise the standard Of requirements for
the teachers in the lower and primary
grades and incidentally raise the pay
50 that the majority Of the teachers
may have the advantage of the more
expert teaching which is now given
but to the comparative few who spend
some time in high schOols?"

Of Police milford +. Kerr.
Efforts are being made by the South
Pend police to straighten out the tan

which defendants held that the Mich

Several Of those apprehended said
that the matter was being considered

that pending its decision few had Sc

that the law there is not very rigidly

licenses.
