the perfume from the flower petals and
gradually causes distillation through

is a simple form of the process by
which all perfumes are distilled.
Water is used instead of alcohol by
some perfume makers. This produces
what is known as the essential oil of
the flowers. which rises to the top and

"At noon on the 25th Admiral Beatty
turned back with most of his heavy
ships to meet and engage the Blue
feet. his transports in the meantime
continuing south with strong escort
toward the mouth of Chesapeake bay.
AS the force with which he thus threat
ened the Blue fleet was decidedly more
powerful than that which Admiral
Fletcher could bring against 1t. anu as
the submarines of the defending force
were not near enough to take part in
the engagement. the umpires decided
that Admiral Beatty's forces could,
without difficulty, seize a base in or
near the Chesapeake, that the Red

NAVAL WAR GAME SHOWS
NEED Of BATTLE CRUISERS
Department Reveals Lesson Taught
BY Recent Maneuvers Off
Atlantic Coast.
Attacking Fleet Makes Landing on
Chesapeake Shore Owing to
Superior Scout Work.

Lessons of the recent naval war
game by the Atlantic fleet, which re-
suited in a victory for the enemy"
fleet of invaders are considered In a
statement issued by the Navy Depart
ment as follows:
The war problem which has just
for its purpose the training of the Off
GERS of the fleet. The problem on the
part of the Atlantic fleet was, in brief.
to prevent more powerful fleet than
our own from establishing base at
some point between Eastport, Me-. and
Cape Hatteras from which to invade
the country When Admiral Fletcher
moved out from New York at noon of
May 1s with the Blue fleet he faced
the difficult problem of meeting an en-
emy stronger than his own in every
branch except submarines and especial
ly superior in scouts. Admiral Fietch-
er's plan of defense was excellent, but
was not successful owing to weather
conditions and the marked superiority
of the enemy in scouts.
Attacking Fleets Maneuvers.
"The attacking Red feet under Rear
Admiral Beatty approached at dis
tance OF several hundred miles by a
line of fast scouts spaced at intervals
and covering a front OF nearly hve hun
dred miles: behind this line and ready
to stiffen 1t at any point where neces-
sary came a line Of battle cruisers and
armored cruisers. These Red scouts and
cruisers had the problem not only of
locating the Blue fleet, but also Of pre-
venting arv concentration of ships
from the Blue fleet from breaking
through a weak point in their line and
attacking the Red transports following
behind the main Red fleet
These transports were intended to
effect a foothold on the coast and
maintain themselves there until \rein-
forcements could be brought to their
support
Fleets in Contact.
1.-THE advance forces came in contact
soon after daylight on the goth. Within
few hours about half of the Blue
scouts had been put out of action, the
most effective work against them be-
ing done by the enemy's battle cruis-
ers. whose high speed and long range
enabled them to pick off the slower
and weaker Blue cruisers almost at
will, at the same time eluding the sup
porting dreadnaughts.
admiral Fletcher withdrew to the
northward, using his remaining scouts
to search and guard the area from
which he believed the Red fleet would
pass II 1t contemplated landing on the
New England coast. This was, as a
matter of fact, Admiral Beatty's plan,
although Admiral Fletcher had not

region and forcing Admiral Beatty in
