three products in 1925 In round num-

The troops might conceivably be
landed on our shores but they would
be caught like rats In q trap when
they got there.
This was the view expressed today
by the blue" command in dis.

retical enemy, the BLACK" forces,
which the "Blues" claim to have
won.
The Black armada, which for the
purpose of the mAneuver represented
the enemy. landed 10000 men on the
coast of New England, at a point
Just east OF Narragansett Bay. The
enemy penetrated inward about
three miles before the five divisions
OF troops the Blue command had
in reserve blocked them.
Maj. Gen. Preston Brown, the Blue
commander, praised the work Of his
men in the field as well as the staff
officers.
Asked what lesson might be drawn
from the war" General Brown
said:
''The fact that II this coast Is ade.
quately manned with men and guns
any landing by an enemy could be
repealed"
