BATTLE AT FORT| DEvENS GOES ON l
Black Forces Defeated in Early Fights; Rush in
 More Divisions

Fort Devens, Mass, Sept. 2-(UP) Two mechanized cavalry units of the mythical invading black expedi- tionary forces were believed captured today in the first major victory since the opening of an imaginary foreign oqensiye on 12 eastern states and the District of Columbia. The cav- airy units were reported trapped by encircling first army forces follow ing widely-separated raids on North Providence, R. l., and Worcester. Meanwhile first army flank forces reportedly had taken two other mechanized units which had re. nained to harry the defenders while black forces marched northwest to- ward Boston and other New England industrial centers.
 More Black Divisions
 Even as first army officials drafted meager reports of the victories, word came that six additional divisions of the black army had landed in Plymouth and were marching to aid the first invading expeditionary forces. This placed black forces su- perior to the first army by three divisions in the mock war. In- dustrial sections of Worcester were smouldering ruins today following an air raid on railroad centers, oil tanks and warehouses. Only Q few hours before the air attack, black bombers struck at the Hartford; Conn, airport and at bridges along the Connecticut river, in Massa- chusettS near Deerfleld, Hunting ton and Northampton.
 Burn Warehouses
 In North Providence, black cav- airy raiders burned warehouses, buildings and destroyed the railroad yards with a force of light tanks that crossed pontoon bridges in Fall River for the attack.
 So, as first army forces reported a temporary check on the imaginary black invaders, officers stationed at Fort Devens to work out the mock war problems, prepared to solve a defense of Providence where an at- tack was indicated because of heavy troop and artillery concentration.
