DRY LAW OFFICIALS
! FACE DUAL BATTLE
Offensive and Defensive
Campaigns Are Being
Waged simultaneously.
Rr the Assnciated Press

By the Associated Press.
Two major campaigns are holding
the attention of prohibition enforce
ment officials, who are taking the of
fensive in one and a defensive stand
in the other.
While Treasury and Department of
Justice branches concerned with pro-
hibition are planning to dry up high
power" beer sources under a permit
system. Under Secretary Winston of
the Treasury is fighting an avalanche
of political pressure for appointments
in the new enforcement machine. The
various field marshals are confident,
however, that their battle lines will
hold.
Assistant Secretary Andrews of the
Treasury and Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney Cen
eral, have devised a new brewery per-
nit system and have arranged for
closer cooperation between their de-
partments for more rigid prosecution
OF prohibition law violators.
Classify Potential Brewery"
Every potential brewery beginning
operation without first obtaining a
Federal permit will be construed as
outside the law, and these plants will
be watched to determine whether beer
of more than the legal alcoholic con-
tent-one-half of l per cent by volume
is removed from them.
Elimination of delay in prosecution
of cases is to be sought by employing
periodic reports from prohibition
agents detailing the progress of vari-
Gus actions in court. BY this means
it is hoped to reveal in what areas the
United States attorneys are meeting
with Indifferent success after the
agents have rounded up the evidence.
Changes in States in View.
Under the reorganization the State
prohibition directors are to be sup
planted by regional directors, and
these few positions, paying up to
$500, have brought forth several
contests. They also have developed
suggestions that the enforcement
areas be changed to group States diff
ferently than as planned, but Assist
ant Secretary Andrews is unwilling
10 revise his program, which has the
full approval of President Coolidge
and Secretary Mellon.

UMPIRES FOR FIGHT
Airplanes to Play Vital
Part in Tactical Pro-

Chief of STAFF, United States Army.

BY MAJ. GEN. JOHN l.. HINES.
Chief of STAFF, United States Army.
During the last week of this month
the Hawaiian Islands will undergo
the novel experience of being bonn
barded, attacked and assaulted by
United States fleet, foI that very fleet
will have suddenly received nidocean
instructions to capture the islands In
order to obtain the excellent naval
base in Pearl Harbor. The islands
are hostile territory; the color under
which their garrisons will fight will
be black; while the ships of war fly
the blue of the American Navy.
The operations that will take place
will be the third in series of our
grand joint exercises participated in
annually by the Army and Navy. 1t
is assumed that the Hawaiian Islands
belong to an enemy. Their defenders
called the BLACK" forces, consist of
the Regular Army garrison of Oahu,
commanded by Maj. Gen. Edward Nj.
Lewis; the National Guard of the
Hawaiian Islands, the Army reserv-
lists on the islands, the naval forces
of the 14th Naval District, com
manded by Rear Admiral John ID.
Mcdonald, supplemented by various
submarine divisions and mine
squadron.
The attacking 1Orce, Cdleu tue
Blue" force. will consist of the bat
tie fleet, commanded by Admiral S. S.
Robson; the scouting fleet, COM
manded by Admiral ]. S. Mexican;
the control force and the fleet base
force, minus some submarines and
mine ships "lent" to the enemy occu-
pying Oahu. With the attackers will
sail a marine expeditionary force
prepared to land and seize a naval
base Thus the Army and Navy
forces will be operating together in
the defense of the islands. Lack OF
funds compels the Army to abstain
from participation in the attack;
therefore, Army troops will be repre-
sented by detachments of marines
carrying flags to show that they
represent Army troops.
Test Like Real War.
Military maneuvers are held by all
countries in order to carry out the prin-
ciple of defensive doctrine under which
a nation must not only be ready, but
also be practiced in it's readiness. The
Hawaiian maneuverS will give actual
practice under conditions as nearly ap-
proximating those of real combat as it
is possible to create without causing
casualties. They will provide instruc-
tion in the application of principles on
the use Of which depends success or
failure in war.
The school of war" says Marshal
Foch, "is not always in session. 1t can

circumstances of war to determine the
effectiveness of the plans We have de-
yised for cooperation between the Army
and the Navy. Such grand joint exer-
cises as these serve as a practical test
of defensive plans. They stimulate COM
manders to bring their equipment and
personnel to superlative heights OF per-
lection by the definite time designated
as zero hour for the maneuvers.
The attempts against the Dardanelles
form the most outstanding example of
joint army-navy attack against fortified
coastal positions. We know that the al
lies failed to take the Dardanelles in
spite of the superior armament of their
ships, in spite of the adaptability OF the
Harbor of Moudros as an adjacent oper-
ating base and in spite of the substan-
tial military expedition provided by the
army. Our maneuvers will be an Amer
lean trial at the attack of a modern
coast defensive system.
The feet will be operating from a dis
tant base, San Francisco. 2,0S0 miles
astern. Yet the fleet will carry the
heaviest armament the United States
can muster. In accordance with the
principles governing all maneuvers. the
relative strengths of the two sides have

men, ebout 800 hundred reserve off,
GERS without unit organizations, and
four cadet corps, three at high schools
and one at the University of Hawaii.
In addition there are the naval forces
of the Fourteenth Naval District, in
Guiding a naval air force and subma-
rines. There are also eagle boats at
present "out of commission" Whether
these can be manned by reservists in
the vicinity is a part Of the prob
lem.
To overcome this Hawaiian "ene-
my" with the modernized forufica-
tions now installed, the United States
is sending out it's historic and power
full battle fleet, comprising the
strongest ships which have ever flown
the american flag. many of them the
very ships which Joined the British
In the North Sea and awed the Ger
mans into surrender without a. battle,
with these larger ships of war will
go the host of destroyers, part of the
submarine force, and the air units, in
Guiding three observation plane
squadrons, one torpedo and bombing
plane squadron, and three lighting
plane squadrons. These forces VIII
be further increased by the presence
Of the Atlantic scouting feet with
it's air and auxiliary units, and
a Marine expeditionary force, detacn-
ments from which will represent the
Army that might be shipped in trans
ports to effect landing on the coral
coasts of Oahu.
Trial of Air Forces.
The maneuvers will afford an ex-
cellent opportunity to develop the Ell
ficiency of air forces in defending and
attacking coast lines, as well as 10
test the adequacy of the air forces
now assigned to Oahu. 1t may be ac-
cepted as a fact that the development
of Air Service in it's employment IN
attack of a fleet has added to the
strength of coastal defenses. 1t is
not proved that the Air Service, Army
or Navy, can protect the Islands alone
and unassisted. Yet the battleship
bombing tests proved that airplanes
may be very dangerous to seacraft.
The land forces have the advantage
in being able to house and maintain
a greater number and variety of air
planes than the arplane carriers OF
the fleet can accommodate. The fact
that Gen. Menoher, former chief or
Evening star., 1925-04-05

the Army Air Service, has only just
relinquished command of the Ha-
waiian department and trained the
troops there for the defense of Oahu,
is guarantee that the fullest use Will
be made of the flying forces. On the
other hand, the blue attackers Will
have the advantage of fixed targets
for their bombing operations. The
position of a big coast defense gun
in a fixed battery cannot be shifted
as a naval vessel may be.
1t has been announced by the Navy
Department that the battle fleet will
sail from San Francisco on April Is,
en- route to Hawaii and thence to Aus
tralia. Some time during its voyage
its commander will receive radio In
structions that the Hawaiian Islands
are in the hands of an enemy and
must be seized. At the same instant
the Army and Navy commanders on
Oahu Will be informed that they must
prevent the capture of the naval base
at Honolulu and Pearl Harbor by the
blue" fleet. The lnaneuvers which
follow will be umpired by methods
similar to those used last year during
the Panama joint maneuvers
Work of Umpires.
The chief of staff of the Army and
Admiral Koontz, the commander in :
chief of the United States fleet, will
jointly occupy the post of chief unI-
pire. Gen. Leroy Eltinge will be
senior umpire black, detailed with
the black military and naval forces,
and Capt. w. II. Standley, u. S. N,

Coast defenses will similarly be
silenced when they are outranged ors
their defenders outnumbered and judged
overcome. BY insisting. upon actuai
operations, by refusing to consider

or troops, and by judging only byTeaf
accomplishments, it is believed that
the umpires can make tho raaneaVer
a valuable practical laboratory lesson
in Army and Navy coastal operations.

it was the property of Temple Lodge,
No. 9, A. F. and A. NJ, of Milford.
1t is a communion set which was pre-

of Philadelphia, many years ago. 1t
was placed in the vault for safe keep
ing soon after the Trust Company
was organized in Milford, where it has
remained and been forgotten by most
of the older members of the Masonic
fraternity of this place. Its identity
has been established and the younger
generation of the Masonic Lodge been
made aware of its existence and
where it is deposited for safety. 1t
will be kept in the Trust Company

DISCUSSION FARM PROBLEMS
Meeting of Farmers Will Be Held in
MiddletOwn October 26th

Why do some farms pay better than
others in the Middletown area? Why
did the thirteen best paying farms in
the Middletown area return an aver
age profit of SPOTS and the thirteen
poorest paying farms make an aver
age loss of 1854 in 1924? These are
problems that will be discussed by
County Agricultural Agent R. o.
Bausman at a meeting which will be
held in the MiddletOwn schoolhouse
Monday evening, October 26. On
Wednesday, October %, a farm bust
ness tour will be held visiting several
of the better paying farms in the Mid
dletOwn area. The reasons why these
different farms paid better than others
will be discussed on the grounds. The
itinerary of the tour will be announc-
ed later
The basis of Mr.. Bausman's discus
sion will be the farm business survey
conducted by the Extension Service of
the University of Delaware in 1924.
During this survey records of 100
farms in the Middletown community
were taken. At this meeting and dur
ing the tour Mr.. Bausman will discuss
the results that came out of the
analysis of these 100 records. 1t is
expected that Director c. A. McCue
of the University of Delaware will be
present and discuss pertinent phase!
of the business of farming.
This meeting and farm tour will bt
held under the auspices of the Exten
sion Services of the University of Del
aware, the Farm Bureau, and the 10
cal banks. The cooperation of sew
eral prominent farm bureau member
and bankers has been secured, amoni
whom are J. D. Reynolds, George {
