having Mr.. Ryley accept their call.
There has just been installed in

Brook, is remembered by many people
In the country as gay and charming

which ended yesterday. Large crowds
attended both events.
Mr.. and Mrs. Turner Wiltshire and
Miss Lucy Wiltshire gave a delightful

rectly after the show and sat around
on the back lawn of the lovely old
place, where keg of ice-cold beer
and other beverages awaited them.
The guests from Northern Virginia.
Who live miles from a railroad, were

ran to the bottom of the yard to get
q better view and watched it pass
with much enthusiasm. Others guests
had arrived by then and all did full

served from the spacious dining room.

HUGE EU.S.ARMADA
T0BE IN WAR GAME
Admiral Hepburn Leaves for
Coast With Plans for
1898 ManeuverS.
b the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The feet's commander in chief left
yesterday to rejoin his command, car
rying with him nearly complete plans
for 1898 war games which naval cir
cles said would be among the most
extensive in history.
Admiral Arthur j. Hepburn, who
attended annual sessions Of the Nays
Promotion Board here, left for Los
Angeles.
The maneuvers, from March IA
to April 20, as in other recent years,
will be full-dress rehearsal for war;
time defense of the Alaska Hawaii
California triangle against any at
tack from across the Pacific.
Ships to Be Far From Hawaii.
This year officials indicated planes
and ships were to be sent farther to
the southwest than before, possibly
to Rowland and Baker Islands, nearly
1000 miles from the Hawaiian key
point of the naval defense
Although details were withheld, Ad-
miral Hepburn has said Problem 10"
would be the defense of line from
the Aleutians south through Hawaii
to American Samoa Informed OFF,
cials said it was unlikely any ships or
planes would be dispatched, however,
as far as Samoa. This is some $500
miles southwest of Hawaii, beyond
the Equator
Between $50 and IT'S surface YES
sells, 500 or more planes and more
than $4,000 men. comprising possibly
the largest armada ever assembled un-
der single command, are expected
to take part in the mock warfare.
Included will be two dozen or more
destroyers, completed since 1885. Only
IL bettleships will participate, since
three of the Is United States dread
naughts have been made a part of
the training squadron in the Atlantic
Strategic Island Near Japan.
While some ships and planes operate
along the south wing of the imaginary
defense line. others are expected to
push on to the Aleutian Islands, south
west Of Alaska. Near the Westernmost
tip, only some 900 miles from the
nearest japanese territory, is the
strategically important island of
Kiska, which is one of the six Ameri-
can naval harbors in the Pacific or
Atlantic closed to mercantile ship
ping.
Admiral Hepburn worked out de-
tails of the maneuvers with Capt.
Royal E. Ingersoll. in charge of naval
war plans. He will not take actual
part, however, as Admiral Claude
c. Bloch will relieve him as COM
mander in chief about February l in
a general shifting of the high COM
rnand.
Oflcials indicated it was likely
the rival forces into which the fleet
usually is divided for the maneuvers
would be commanded by Admiral
Edward C. Kalbfus and Vice Admiral
W. T. Tarrant. respectively. with Ad-
miral Bloch in the role of chief UNI
pire.
The war games will test the fleets
reorganization, made in October. under
which all destroyers were transferred
to the Battle Force.

Two Washington department stores
-Lansburgh's and the Hecht Co.
will inaugurate night openings on
Wednesday to give shoppers additional

Ing, 1t was announced yesterday.
Instead Of closing at the usual hour
OF 5:45 pm, these two stores will re-
main open until 9 o'clock each eve
ming through the following Wednes-
day. December o. Employees will
work in shifts, so that the majority
will work only the usual number of
hours. Others will have an opportu-
nifty to earn extra compensation
1t was pointed out that during the
last two years store hours have been
shortened to such an extent that 1t
has worked hardship on those whose
ofice hours permit them little time for
shopping. 1t is estimated this move
will give employment to approx
mately 1000 additional persons during
the Christmas season.
