UNCLE HARRY Tells ABOUT A new WATER Game

''Ever play bah or any other game
while you were in swimming, boysl"
asked Uncle.
''We had big rubber ball that we
played with in the lake where we went
last summer on our vacation said
Jimmy, "and we had lots of fun,
didn t we, Joe'"
s'Yes, indeed" said Joe. ''What
made you ask, Uncle Harry; know any
new kinds of water games9'
''I know about water game that
is going to start at New York next
week. said Uncle Harry, "and I think
you d like to see it. It's the biggest
water game that has ever been played. f"
"How big is it, Uncle Harryf'
asked Jimmy.
Who's taking part in it'' in,
qCired joe
''We1, the game starts at New York
with review of all the players" said
Uncle Harry. "President Wilson will
be there to look the players over and
see if they are in good condition. Then
they will 90 out into the Atlantic ocean
and begin their game The grounds
where the big ships will be played ex-
tend from Nantucket island, which is
of the southern coast of Massachusetts,,
to Montauk Point. which is OH the tip
end of Long island, New York.
i; Joe and Jimmy understood every
word that Uncle Harry had said and
yet they couldn't tell what he was
talking about. Uncle Harry saw that
the boys wcrespuzzled, and began laugh.
ing.
''Whsts the matter, fellows?" he
said. moment later Il don sup
pose y0u ever heard of a water game
as big as this one, have youl Well, l
am not making up this story; every
word of it is true. What I've been
speaking of is the big war game of
the United States navy. The players
are all the warships in the North At
lantic fleet. They include all kinds of
battleships. or drcadnoughts as they are
called nowadays; cruisers, which are
wsrships that carry smaller guns and
can travel faster than dreadnoughts
torpedo boat destroycrs. submarines
and other ships that carry supplies for
the warships. Altogether there will be
about eighty ships
''What is the game these warships
play!' asked Jimmy.
Il suppose you might call it At.
taeking New York, - said Uncle Harry
The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1915-05-14

"Will the ships fire any shotsf''
asked Joe.
''No, indeed said Uncle Harry.
''The warships have just finished sew
eral weeks of target practice off the
coast Of Cuba, and this war game
that viii start next week will consist
of scouting and cruising and trying to
outwit the enemy. -
''Who's : the 'enemyl'" asked
Jimmy.
''Some of our own American ships,
explained Uncle Harry. "The big
fleet is divided into two parts. One
part of the fleet is ordered to guard
New York and the other part becomes
the enemy 1t is the object of the
enemy ships to get near enough to
New York to fire shots into the city;
and it is the object of the guarding
fleet to discover the ships of the
enemy before they get near to New
York
''In working ont the moves in the
game the officers of the warships on
both sides learn many important lessons
about handling their vessels. In a
word, the war game is what you
might call genuine practice for our
warships. The officers learn many
things that would make it easier to
defend our seacoasts in ease of war =
'Is our country likely to have war
soon?" asked Joe.
''Not one chance in thousand, -
said Uncle Harry, land hope there
never will be another war anywhere. F."
"Then why do the ships play this
war game9'' asked Jimmy.
For the same reason that the city
iirsmen are trained and given tests in
fighting fires, explained Uncle Harry.
1.-THE purpose of a fire engine is to pre-
vent small fires from growing into big
fires. But If the fremen weren t
trained and experienced. the fire engines
and hook and ladders wouldn t be worth
the steel and wood they are made of.
The purpose of the United States navy
is to protect our country in case of
trouble. But If the sailors, gunners
and officers are not trained and expert.
eneed, all the warships in the navy
wouldn t be worth their weight in scrap
iron. Our country doesn't want to,
and woudn t have any right to, go out
and start real war, just TO get train.
ing for its navy. So target practice
and the war game are the only ways
that the sailors and officers can get any,
thing like genuine experience.

AT THE INDIANA.

The opening of the Indiana theater
will take place at p. m. today when
a program of five reels Of high class
pictures will be shown. Woman
Against Woman" a Klaw and Erlan-
ger dramatic subject, is the feature
picture. A splendid story. well cast
and presented in a first class man
ner, il will be found a most pleasing
production. On the same bill is a
Nitagraph drama, The Silent w" a
romantic story of two girls of the
same name. Popular Lillian Walker
is the featured player.
A number of improvements will be
noted in the Indiana theater and Mgr.
COdd expects TO introduce several
commendable ideas. The Lyman Howe
system Of projection Will be used,
which requires a wait of one to two
minutes after every second reel. This
is done TO rest the eyes of the specta-
tors and is required by law in some
states. In Boston an ordinance insists
on a wait of five minutes after each
reel run, but this is considered ex-
IRENE.
Pictures will not be rushed through,
no one will be allowed to stand in the
aisles or the rear of the house and
there will be a sufficient intermission
after every show to allow the house to
be emptied and reflled so that all may
see the start of each picture. Per-
formances will not be given during the
supper hour, but from to . and TO
IL daily.
