War Game Ends When "Attack-
ing' Forces Effect Landing
In Delaware Bay.
WASHINGTON IS ENDANGERED
New York City Also Placed In
Jeopardy Of Attack From the
Real.

Once more Il has been demonstrated
that the United states Is at the mercy
Of a foreign foe and that a powerful
feet, conveying the transports Of an
enemy force, is able to effect a land
ing on the Atlantic Coast.
The war game of the two sections Of
the Atlantic fleet came to an end last
night. II ended because In theory the
attacking fleet. under Rear Admiral
Knight. had erected landing.
The landing was accomplished theo-
rectically In Delaware Bay. This means
that the great steel. powder and other
industries which in war time would be
Of vital need to the country were ex-
posed to demolition. Not only that. but
In theory Washington has been endan-
cared and New York placed In jeopardy
Of an attack from the rear.
Defenders Defeated.
Details OF the war game are being
formulated into a statement by Rear
Admiral Benson and other experts
Secretary Daniels said this morning
no did not feel warranted in issuing
a statement Of the technical and
strategic facts until they had been
fully set forth by the experts. He
did announce that the war game had
ended with the defeat of the defend
ing fleet. and the effecting of land
ing by the attacking feet in the Della
ware bay region.
Admiral Fletcher himself command
ed the defending feet. Rear Admiral
fleet. Rear Admiral Knight was in
command Of the attacking fleet.
The attacking fleet was able TO
elude the defending fleet through
most Of the period OF the maneuvers
The results of the war game are
likely to have an important bearing
on naval legislation by Congress this
winter. They tend to show that the
erful enemy would he in much more
serious jeopardy than many persons
in this country who are opposed &c
any defense program will admit.

The vessels Of the fleet will now as
semble at Newport. There. the officer,
will enter into a full discussion Of the
results Of the war game.
The battleships will go to nome yards
for docking. the destroyers will have
drills and exercises at Naragansett Bay
and will be overhauled in dock a little
later. The submarines will engage "
torpedo practice and training. and will
also soon be docked and overhauled.

In talking with some boys last year
Principal F. A. Woodward found that
many OF the boys helped their mother

projected the cooking course for boys

could help their mothers, but could
meet situations where they had to
shift for themselves in the cooking

POLLS

Lillian Russelfs great comedy sue
cess. 'Wildf1re," will be the offering of
| the Poll Players this week.
The story is one Of unusual freshness
and charm, and tells of the material
and romantic fortunes of beautiful
young widow, who discovers after her
husbands death that she is not the
heiress to the big estate that she ex-
pected. but that her sole financial re-
to recoup her waning fortunes, the
young widow decides to enter her ia
vorite horse, Wildf1re, in final race.
Not only are her fortunes involved
in the success of this contest, but her
future happiness as well, for her fnan-
cial affairs are entangled with her
! affaires de occur. There is no doubt
in the heroine's mind that Wildflre will
win in a walk. and she wages all her
disnnay, few moments before the race
begins, she discovers that a rejected
sutton has arranged to have the horse
drugged, and has also bribed her
jockey to throw the race"
How the heroine, with the aid of the
hero, succeeds in outwitting the
schemes of her enemies, and how
Wildf1re triumphs in the end consti-
tutes the exciting denouement of an
engaging stage story.
Florence Rittenhouse will be the
heroine, while A. H. Van Buren, will
have the role of the hero.
One of the features OF the production
will be the striking gowns worn by
Miss Rittenhouse. It was originally
intended that this would be the play
to open the new season at Polls, but

"The DUMMY

1.-THE Dummy" which had it's first
appearance on any stage at the Co
lumbia Theater two years ago. is to be
presented at Polls Theater as the at
traction next week, following wild
fire."
While THE Dummy" is in a sense
a travesty on certain detective plays of
the day. it tells an entertaining story
of it's own, and there are many dramatic
climaxes in the course of it's action.
The plot deals with the efforts Of a
New York detective. Babbing. 20 capture
a band of kidnapers which has sue
ceeded in spiriting away the young
daughter of couple about to be
divorced. Babbing has as his chief as
sistant in this undertaking a street
urchin who has been reading Sherlock
Holmes stories and has become obsessed
with the desire to be a regular de
tec-a-tuv." The play gets it's name
from the fact that the boy poses as a
deaf mute in order to win the conf
dence of the kidnapers and be near the
girl prisoner.
How this youth defeats the kidnapers
and saves the girl. thereby winning a
ten-thousand-d dollar reward, consti-
tutes the gist of the story.
One of the interesting features of this
production will be the appearance of
the new juvenile, Ralph NJ. Remley, in
the role of the boy detective.

| An ever-changing theme of fun, ac-
Icompanied by that kind of music which
is carried away and hummed, sung and
whistled by all who hear it, a gor-
geously beautiful setting. with five
score actors who can act, singers who
can sing, dancers who can dance and
girls galore of every type of beauty in
ensemble numbers that are the very
last word in chic and abandon, is what
lis promised in Klaw & changers big
musical production Around the Map"
which will receive it's first presentation
at the National Theater tomorrow
night.
The book and lyrics are by C. NJ S.
Mcclellan. and the music by Herman
Finck, who has taken foremost rank
London, chiefly known to Americans for
his popular songs.
Klaw & Erlanger have produced
Around the Map on an especially
ed and painted by Joseph Urban. whose
work for The Follies" has attracted SO
much attention. And the ensemble and
musical numbers have been staged by
Julian Mitchell
More than 125 comedians, singers and
dancers constitute the principals and
chorus used in the production, the
principal factors being Else Alder
(from the Johann Strauss Theater,
Vienna. her first American appearance),

An idea of the story may be CLEANED
from the following: 1t starts in the
Sportsmen's Club of Paris, composed of
the best Partisan sportsmen. A prize of
100000 francs is to be awarded to the
pick of the club in Europe by the Ar
gentine Lottery Company. which will
start a bunch of the prettiest girls in
Paris on a trip around the world. This
includes twenty-five of the famous CO.
terie known as THE Disseminated Luz
ius" a club of girls who dislike home
life. They are magnificently costumed
by Nine. kapinski, the reigning Par
isian female modiste. Each Is numbered
by a tattooed mark-no one to know
where the mark is located. Tickets,
sufficient to make the prize money are
/ sold only to recognized sportsnen. A
reception is held by the fair tattooed at
, each capital of Europe. The drawing Is
to take place October !, at Paris. The
sportsman who by that time has won
the girl with the lucky number "13'
wins the grand prize. This story,
with its complications and rapidity OF
action, evolves a world of laughter2and
carries the characters all over the prin-
cipal cities of Europe. as well as to San
Francisco. Boston and New York in
this country 1t lends itself to brill
liant effects and beautiful costuming.
