WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-Two mighty fleets were grappling for each other in the dark tonight somewhere off the Atlantic coast in the opening phase of the most elaborate war game ever undertaken by the American navy. The navy department on a war footing was invoking every agency to aid Rear Admiral Helm, commanding the blue" defending fleet, which was sweeping seaward behind a line of scouts nearly six hundred miles long to repulse Admiral Mayos red" battle fleet.
 The game began at six o'clock this morning when Admiral Helm on his flagship. the Rhode Island received word that an agent of the state depart ment aboard a ship bound from New
 York to Gibraltar had reported fifteen battleships of the red" fleet six hun dred miles due east of Cape Hatteras with thirty transports bringing an army of invasion to be landed some where between Cape Hatteras and Eastport Maine.
 An hour after the report came the twelve battleships of Admiral Helms | main fighting fleet manned in part by l civilian volunteers and naval militia | men, were headed seaward from Mar. | ragansett.

ChuychiU Starts Debate On Conduct
 of the Big War
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wlre1


 LONDON. Aug. 22.-On the pre- sentation of the motion today for ad- iournment of the house of commons for the summer vacation, Colonel Winston Spencer Churchill, formerly first lord of the admiralty. initiated debate on the conduct of the war. He said there was no certainty of speedy ending of the conflict. Ger man armies were more numerous and better equipped than ever but what reserve they had was another matter. he said.
 Colonel Churchill urged the coun- try to organize for long war and to put food supplies and prices on a war basis. He also recommended the chartering of all shipping at admir- alty rates to end the rise in freights which he called a national scandal. Instead of restricting consumption by increased prices. the government should control distribution of food supplies at home and overseas, he said.
 The long eastern front, Colonel Churchill argued was the most vul- nerable and the inexhaustible armies that Russia is able to bring into operation should be utilized fully Therefore. he urged, the chancellor of the exchequer to permit no finan- cial consideration to stand in the way of providing Russia to her ut most needs with munitions ana equipment upon which, he said
 everything now depends.
