Even Bigger Games
Urged for Army by
Maj. Gen. Brees
Increase in Number Of
Anti-Aircruft Units
Among His Proposals
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAMP BEAUREGARD, La, June
S-Annual Army maneuvers on an
even larger larger scale than those
IN which 10000 troops took part
In this section recently are recon-
mended in the report of Maj Gen
H. j. Brees.
Commanding general of the 9th
Corps Area and chief control off,
Ger of the maneuvers here, Gen.
Brees discussed in frank language
deficiencies shown by the ma
neuvers and recommended changes.
Aside from calling for annual
training on grand scale, he said
he was convinced "the 1O5-mm.
howitzer should be substituted for
the 75-mm. gun in our infantry
division. The experience of these
maneuvers also indicated that the
number of anti-aircraft units in our
type corps should be increased if
We are confronted with an enemy
strong in the air.
Road Reconnaissance Held Poor.
Pointing out other weak links in
the present land defense, Gen.
BreeS said road reconnaissance by
motor columns was noticeably poor.
Motor columns barged ahead re-
gardless of security, road conditions
or terrain, he said
"All too frequently it was noted
that all the basic principles of Sc
curlty on the march and halt were
not only ignored but flagrantly vio-
lated. In case after case flank pro-
lection on the march was noticeably
nil
Another part of his report said
the lack of support by heavy weap-
ons, including artillery, was pain
fully evident in all actions. If these
weapons are not needed we are
wasting money in purchasing them
and in training in their use.
Lack of Liaison Pointed Out.
There was a decided lack of
liaison. Units had no knowledge of
who or what was on their flanks
nor made any effort to find out
mere were not lew cases where
elements of the same and adjoining
units fired on each other
Many demolitions (of bridges)
were made without judgment and
severely handicapped subsequent
operations of the unit making the
demolition.
For many years We have been
Etressing in our training the meas
ures for defense to be taken bv
ground troops against low-fiying
aircraft. These teachings seem to
have been forgotten almost entirely.
Infantry in trucks is helpless. To
subject them to an air attack un-
necessarily would be sheer murder"
The maneuvers here represented
the greatest peacetime concentra-
ton of combat forces in the history
of the United States.

and sweet and eaten in the brisk
air fresh from the water they have
a flavor that is most pleasing.
The blue sunfish, as we have said,
takes the bait readily. An angle
worm or a grub wiggling on a hook
is enough to attract the attention
OF this small fighter. Then there
is a tug of war. thrilling indeed to
the young angler and not without
its appeal to the older one, before
the fish is safely landed.
Fishermen in the streams of South
Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska and south
to Texas find this fish so abundant
that they plan to catch a mess OF
the green sunfish, sprightly cous-
in, while waiting for the more willy
fish to be shared. The sunfish,
blue or green, seems always to be
a favorite pan fish.
These fish are rather elongate in
their youth, but are inclined to be-
come shorter and deeper with age.
They have large head a project
ing Snout and an ample sized
mouth.
The color of the blue sunfish is

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Those who have caught this beau-
tiful little sunfish are loud in their
praises concerning it's fighting abil-
ity. They claim it is a gamey little
fellow that battles with all it's
strength to regain the freedom it
was so eager to barter for the
tempting anglewrom which appeared
so suddenly before it.
You will find this little sunfish
west of the Alleghanies and from
the Great Lakes to Mexico. In the
waters from Central Ohio AMI In
diana to the Rio Grande it is espe-
cially abundant. 1t rarely seeks the
large streams or lakes, but enjoys
the privacy of brooks, ponds and
smaller creeks. The small boys of
the neighborhood know where to
find these sunfish and are always
delighted to catch and pan them.
They are never any longer than
6 or 8 inches and they weigh from
4 to 5 ounces. The flesh is tender

variable. The prevailing shade of
blue or green has a brassy luster on
the sides, which gradually becomes
golden underneath. Each scale
usually has a sky-blue spot and
the scales have tiny rim of gold.
Beside all these color combinations
the sides are decorated with tiny
dark spots. The vertical fins are
marked with blue or green and the
anal fin is edged in front with pale
orange and there is usually added
for beauty's sake a black spo. on
the posterior base of the dorsal and
anal fins. The CHEEKS have narrow
blue stripes, which accentuate the
red iris of the eyes. Altogether, the
blue sunflsh is very handsome and
gay little dweller of the creeks and
ponds.
