IN WAR GAME
CAUSE Of DISCUSSION
Problem Worked Out by Atlantic
Fleet in October Vigorously
Debated.

The war game played by the Atlantic
fleet last October and which resulted in
the penetration of the blue" defense
of the coast by the hostile red fleet,
according to the umpire's ruling, has
caused vigorous discussion between
Admiral Fletcher, commanding the de-
Tending forces, and Rear Admiral
knight, umpire and commander of the
attacking fleet. Secretary Daniels said
today that he welcomed the dispute, as
it showed all officers of the navy were
devoting careful thought to problems
that might confront in actual warfare.
He declined to disclose any details. but
admitted that Admiral Fletcher did not
agree with the umpires verdict as to
the wisdom of his dispositions of the
Atlantic fleet to meet the theoretical in
vaders.
Decision by the Umpire.
The problem involved finding the en-
emy force, located far off shore and
with a fleet of transports
and powerful convoy. According to
the report given out by the Navy De-
partment and founded on the ruling of
the umpire, "blue" scouts failed in their
task. while red" destroyers surprised
and destroyed the greater part Of the
defending fleet in a night attack. The
OF the maneuvers which fol-
lowed was confidential, but it is un-
derstood Admiral Fletcher disagreed
with the umpire's findings.
Secretary Daniels was asked if it was
true that Philadelphia had been left
unprotected during the maneuvers.
philadelphia is far from the sea- was
the only answer he would make.
