Definite Reports
Lacking From
Oyster Opening

Norfolk. Sept. le.--Resuits of the
first days catch Of oysters from the
natural rocks Of James R,ver for the
season which opened yesterday are moi
yet known. However, men versed In
the oyster business stated that It wa
hardly probable that much tong
ing was done, al the weather was. and
has been for some time, unseason-
ably warm.
Scores Of oyster boats left here
Tuesdny for the natural rocks of the
James. Theyr immediately went into
camp after nfsfr arrival on the rocks
and will remain In that vicinity until
Christmas or later. Trips will be
made to this city at frequent inter-
walls for supplies and recreation and
until some of the tongers or owners
arrive ii will be difficult to determine
just the quantity ard quality OF the
catch.
Investigations prior TO the opening
OF the season lead to the belief that
the bivalves are more plentiful and
catter this year than for several years
past. The rocks have been worked
at frequent intervals and the oysters
should be in prime condition.
Both seed oysters and oysters for
consumption may be removed from
the natural rocks. The seed oysters
will be sold to the owners and renters
OF the beds In Virginia and the other
oysters sold to Northern markets,
most Of the sales being made. it il
said. through the oyster packing firms
OF Hampton and vicinity. 1t 10 a No.
lation of the State law to ship seed
oysters from the State.
Some OF the oysters on the natural
rocks of the James were found to be
understood ard undernourished BY
officials Of The public health service
and working was recommended.
The recommendation was enormously
report short time ago and a furore
was created in oyster circles, 1t be-
ing stated that the beds were about
to be condemned.

Newport News. Sept. 1.-THE At
iantic neet. now on the southern driu
grounds, win stage 4 great war game
beginning October /, according to Su-
tnentic unofficial reports. The OPP
eratons Will extend from Hampton
Roads to Massachusetts,, Il il said.
Details OF the same are now being
perfected 1t the Newport naval col.
lege ana ara being closely guarded.
The problem TO be solved by the
fleet under the command Of Admiral
Frank r. Fletcher. will be essentially
similar to that Of maneouvers Of last
May, save that the territory of OPP
eratfons will he restricted in area. An
imaginary fleet will undertake to land
an invading force from transports at
some point between Cape Cod and Nor
folk. These efforts will be resistcd
and the result OF the 'enga gements''
will be determined by umpires.
Last May. when the Red" fleet,
under Rear Admiral Frank e. Beatty,
attacked the Atlantic Coast which
was protected by the blue" fleet,
representing the full strength Of the
Atlantic fleet. under Admiral Fletcher,
the Red" fleet landed an invading
force in Chesapeake Bay. The Red
fleet was technically possessed OF su-
perior numbers Of fast scout and bat
tleship cruisers and using them az a
screen, deceived the Blue" flee.
awaiting along the New England coast
The result of these maneouvers. the
Navy Department announced, indicat-
ed clearly the necessity of increasing
the complement OF scout and battle
ship cruisers and showed the impos-
sibility OF dreadnaughts effectually
protecting the coast lines. The In
vaders were also in possession OF 4
superior number of submarines. The
superiority of the attacking force was
guaged by the Naval College, so that
the invading fleet represented technt-
cally the strength which a foreign
power, such as Germany or England.
could muster In case an attack was
made on this country.
For five days from August Is to
August 20, the battleship and auxil-
larry aquadrons practiced independent
ly in tactical maneouvers in the vicinity
of Block Island. The various squad
rons practiced independently at night,
anchoring on the East and West
coasts. There was sub-calibre prac-
tice, and maneouvers in mime laying
and sweeping. Later there were mimic
ships and destroyer flotillas and be-
tween divided squadrons of both types
OF vessels.
In the forthcoming maneouvers
every available battleship, destroyer.
and some submarines, will be used.
In addition to the valuable lesson
taught by the spring nlaneouvers, the
opposing fleets will also have tho
added advantage OF = new lesson in
concentration. an the full strength OF
defending and opposing forces will be
pitted against each other. along a
coast line restricted from Norfolk to
the Maine coast. instead of inculd-
ing the great stretch OF the latter as
formerly.
Coming as It does on the eve Of
"a new Congress, which will consider
the necessity for an increase Of ma
tional defense. the maneouvers are ex-
pected to furnish valuable concrete re-
suits The value Of the submarine ~
a mobile defense against invasion will
be one OF the chief lessons to be de-
welcomed

bility will simply be made worse by this
disposal Of his case. o.,
New York State is not well PROVIDED
with Institutions TO handle criminal de-
tectives. Under this new scheme, now
ever, reports are to be made 70 the mag
iftrates, who will take what action seems
best in such cases; and the Department OF
Correction will segregate and give special
care TO such feeble-minded prisoners as
are committed TO institutions under us
Jurisdiction. Thus, In connection with the
parole law which goes into effect with the
new year, these prisoners, hitherto handed
as criminals with normal minds, may De
.reated until discharged as cured or may
be permanently segregated In institutions
for the feeble-minded. This will relieve
the public Of q twofold weight-the ex-

Sir: The man who disrupted the Repuo-

| thank you for your farsightedness In rec
ognizing that Roosevelt IL the one candidate
for the Republicans to nominate IN 1915 and
for extending an opportunity to the public
for expressing themselves AS one deeply In
terested in what Is for the public good, be-
lieve that Roosevelt is far and away the best
man for the Presidential chair in the preg-
nant years just before the American nation.
Righteousness 10 Of equal value with peace.
Il never pays TO rob Peter for the sake OF
Paul. The national conscience Of America has
been so blunted during the last four years
that Il will require man Of unusual calibre
to meet the emergency and give the nation
its vision Of principle, without which the
people perish" Such a man Is Roosevelt
He is not a politician; he Is not pedAgogus.
