READY FOR HUNT
IN SEA FIGHT"
Battle" Raging Between Red"
and Blues; Hospitals to Re
ceive Mythical Wounded
By .isJoeiate5 Press

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 25.-Naval
ohcers to-day looked for news that a
battle had occurred between the two
fleets participating in a war game in
the Atlantic and hat a number of
casualties had occurred. Anticipating
that mythical dead and wounded were
being hurried to land from Rear Ad-
miral Helms blue" defending fleet,
naval hospitals at New York, Boston,
Newport, Philadelphia and Norfolk
were advised to make preparations for
receiving and treating patients. The
location of the theoretical battle with
Admiral Mayo's red" attacking fleet
would determine which hospital I
ton was to be taxed most severely.
Navy officers explained to-day that
hypothetical disasters, such as the de-
struction of storage oil tanks at Maria
gansett yesterday and OF supply stores
at Sewall Point, Hampton Roads, on
Wednesday, are decreed by the Navy
Department for its own tactical exer-
else.
Movements Of the two fleets were
not disclosed to-day. but the positions
OF the scouts indicate a battle cannot
be long delayed.
Sends Decoy Message
Naval oficials were inclined to-day to
believe that the intercepted message
picked up yesterday saying the invad-
ing transports had been sighted was a
decoy sent out by Admiral Helm, COM
handing the defenders, in hope of mis-
leading Admiral Mayo. Nothing tend
ing to confirm the reported sighting of
the transports was found in later mes
sages reaching the department.
Admiral Helm also has called for
ammunition, including torpedoes and
supplies, to be delivered within a given
time from the various stations and
depots along the Atlantic coast. The
or1cers in charge of these depots must
find actual facilities for the transpor-
tation of the supplies and report prog
gress to the department.
AT the conclusion of the war game
h Atlantic feet will go TO the south
ern drill grounds for the regular Sep
tcmoer target practice. The reserve
ships composing the defenders will
accompany the active fleet in order
that the naval militiamen and volun-
tiers may watch the Atlantic feet at
battle practice.
