American Navy Enters On
Most Elaborate War
Game 1t EUer Has
Undertaken.

WASHINGTON. August 22.-Two
mighty fleets were graphing for each
other in the dark tonight somewhere
off the Atlantic coast. in the opening
phase of the most realistic and clabo-
rate war game ever undertaken by
the American navy. The Navy De-
partment. on war footing, was in
vokinG every agency to aid Rear
Admiral Helm, commanding the blue"
defending fleet. which was sweeping
seaward behind a line of scouts nearly
600 miles long. to meet and repulse
Admiral Mayo's red" battle fleet and
it's convoy Of transports.
The game began at 6 o'clock this
morning. when Admiral Helm. on his
flagship. the Rhode Island received
word that an agent of the State De-
partment aboard ship bound from
New York to Gibraltar had yeported
that the fifteen battleships OF the
red fleet had been sighted 600 miles
due east of Cape Hatteras. The re-
port said thirty transports were fol-
lowing the enemy fleet. bringing an
army Of invasion to be landed at some
point between Cape Hatteras and
Eastport, Me.
SHIPS MANNED IN PART
BY CIVILIAN VOLUNTEER
An. hour after the report came the
twelve battleships of Admiral Helms
main fighting fleet, manned in part by
civilian volunteers and naval militia
men, were headed seaward from Mar
"Ggansett. Ahead of them nearly n
score of swift destroyers were speed
ing eastward to get in touch with the
enemy, followed and supported by n
cruiser squadron headed by the aero
plane ship North Carolina Rear
Admiral Gleaves commands the scout

ALL AGREE THAT PROMPT
ACTION SHOULD BE- TAKE,

While expressing divergent views as
to the method of quarantine, it was the
consensus of opinion among the health
officers that measures should be adopt
ed to keep out of Virginia persons
suspected of having infantiIe paralysis
or of having been exposed to the
disease. One Of the conferees likcned
the situation arising from the epi-
demic in New York City to tho dropping
Of a pebble in watcr-the circle around
the disturbed point becomes wider and
wider. Something. he said must be
done :" check the widening of the
circle.
The Attorney Generals Office has held
that the laws of the State empower the
State Board of Health to mako reason
abic regulations, incluJing an abso-
iute quarantine. for safeguarding the
Pubic health. 1t may go so far, ac-
cordins to the ruling. as to prohibit
railroads from bringing into the State
persons from infected areas. and any
transportation company violating the
rules laid down would be liable TO
penalties prescribed by tho statute.

SEEKS QUARANTINE THAT
WILL NOT WORK HARDSHIP

Or. Williams is in favor Of a protec-
tive quarantine. but one that will not
work undue hardship on travellers to
this state. After the conference he
issued Il statement as follows:
The ruling OF the Attorney-General
leaves il discretionary with the State
Board of Health to adopt reasonable
ruies and orders = meet the emergency
created by the spread OF infantile pa
ralysis. and il is my judgment that
this discretion should now be cxcr-
ossed. The ideal arrangement is one
that Will deny entrance into the State
TO all who may carry the disease. but
VIII. at the same time. work no undue
hardship on those who have not been
exposed and cannot carry it.
How to attain that ideal, in view
of our limited knowledge Of infantile
paralysis, is a question TO which we
have been giving careful attention I
shall refer the matter to the judG-
mcnt OF the full board, with recon-
mendations. and trust that decision
may be reached on Thursday Imme-
diately after the meeting of the board.
