Troops in All Branches Of
Service at Fort Myer Turn
Out Early Today.
FORCES IN WAR GAME
CLASH NEAR POTOMAC
Recruits, Withheld From Drills, Are
Taught Foot Movements and
Manual of Arms.

Troops in all branches of the service
in camp at Fort Myer were turned out
early this morning for field inspections
and maneuvers under the direction of
Maj William P. Jackson and Mai. Fox
Connor, both of the inspector generals
department Of the army. 1t Is the first
field inspection the guard ever has had,
according to Gen. Harvey. The pur-
pose Of the inspection Is to see how
well the troops are Quilted and equip
ped and to determine their efficiency
in drills and maneuvers. The inspec-
tions will continue for three days, it
being estimated that 1t will take this
time to go through all the commands.
The Sd Infantry. divided into two
forces, left camp early today. The en-
ed by Maj. Hodgson, left camp first, in
the direction of the river, and shortly
afterward the defensive army. the I'd
Battalion, Maj. McCathran, and the Sd
Battalion, Maj Summers, left later in
another direction.
Invaders Camp at "steelton."
The invaders camped last night at
"Steelton," a name given by the COM
manders who outlined the problem to
the Giesboro Point steel plant. This
morning, just before dawn, theoretically,
they crossed the river and started inland
on a march toward Manassas. The other
force left Manassas, having heard from
it's outposts Of the invading force, in the
direction of the enemy with a view to
heading it off and delaying its movement
or putting it back entirely and to pre-
vent further landings.
More than one thousand rounds
Of black ammunition were issued
to the troops and along toward
noon the troops of the opposing
forces were in contact, as evidenced by
the popping of the rifles. For more than
an hour the troops kept up a steady fire
from their underbrush cover. The two
forces put up a hot fight and the firing
line was more than a mile wide. During
the hottest of the engagement a heavy
downpour of rain set in, thoroughly
drenching the troops, but they have
taken this as matter of course.
Every time they go out they come
back wet, il not with rain it is with
perspiration, for all of them admit
that on hot days there is no place in
Mexico hotter than the 1owlands along
the Potomac river, in which most of
the operations are conducted. But
troops having made contact with an
opposing force cannot stop for the
weather.
