TO the u. s. state department and
TO Washington delegates in con-

decommissioned destroyers to the

that the warships might well be a
determining factor in the outcome
Of the war.
DIR. Mander, in his speech,
pointed out that the u. s. has ac-
cepted its position in the light of
a divided Europe. He stated that
Germany and Italy now control
virtually all European continental
ports and that. II England goes
down. 'it will be extremely diff
cult for America to keep pace.
Need Destroyers
He also warned that a German
victory in Europe would give the
Nazis a tremendous prestige in
South and Central America. He
said broader, civilized methods of
maintaining peace had failed and
that the democracies must resort
TO cruder methods of saving lib
erty.
DR. Mander said the biggest aid
u. S. could give to the allies at
this time would be to put the so
destroyers at their disposal.

auspices of the Tacoma chapter,

WITH THE RED ARMY IN

WITH THE RED ARMY IN
THE Enthusiastically resisting
every foot Of ground Maj. Gen.
George A. Whites Red army artil-
lery began establishing itself in
firm positions north of the MIS-
qually river Thursday night in an
effort to hold the invading Blues
from the boundary lines of their
own country" until Saturday
night. The infantry followed later
in the night.
According to the present paper
problem, Maj. Gen. Walter p.
storey's Blue forces must be estab-
lished in position north of the Mis-
qually river. the southern boundary
line of the Reds country, sometime
before midnight Saturday before
they will have accomplished their
mission.
Scouts Report
Artillery units of the Reds be-
gan their movement Thursday
night just before darkness fell. One
battalion noticed movements in the
terrain ahead that would indicate
enemy patrols few hundred yards
away. Officers observing them
with binoculars directed operations
of their own scouts who returned
and reported few men crawling
in the grass among bushes and
trees that skirted an opening in
front of the Red guns. Lacking
the men to make a capture. the
Red scouts reported back and the
battalion moved out In short order.
Officers of the particular bat
terry making the enemy contact
pointed out that the scouts of the
enemy could be at least a half
hours march ahead of their main
column and that therefore the APP
proach OF patrols several hundred
yards away was only an indication
of necessity to move. They even
predicted that their infantry. just
ahead of them, would very likely
pick up the Blue patrols.
Artillery Effective
II was the fire of this and other
artillery units that kept the Blues
from proceeding any farther than
Rainier during the daylight opera
tons Thursday. Here during the
fighting of the midday, umpires
reported the morale of the Red
men as high"
I'VE seemed to be outnumbered

OGDENSBURG, N. Y, Aug. IA
The 29th Divisions overnight ma
neuver ended with a bang and a
story-book touch shortly after dawn
today, when the 91st Brigade from
Virginia virtually wiped out" the
58th Brigade from Maryland with
a flank attack in field above the

Two Versions Of Theft.
Umpires credited the 9lst with
almost annihilating the 58th Bri-

the theft of the plans of the 58th,
commanded by Brig. Gen. Amos

lieutenant went into Maryland bri-
gade headquarters during the night
and took the plans. Another ver-

really wound up an hour ahead of
time, with weary, sleepy-eyed and
footsore troops heading back for
their base camps at Rensselaer,
Falls and a period of bathing, rest
and recreation.
Leading the victorious attack
was the Sd Battalion of the 1st Vir-
ginia Infantry. They ran into the
5th Maryland bivouac and opened
fire with every weapon in their
hands.
The rout-the Marylanders re-
treated southward-was a victory
for the BLACK" Army, supposedly
invading Northern New York State
after having crossed the st. Law

with a serious touch a World War

And BeIasco Theater
For S1,400,000
Property on East Side
Of Lafayette Square
To Be Developed
By HAROLD b. ROGERS.

In line with the Governments
intention to develop the east side of
Lafayette Square, opposite the
White House. as an important part
of the Federal establishment, two
historic pieces of property there,
the BelaSco Theater and the Cosmos
Club. have just been purchased for
ST 400 900, it was learned today.
The theater will be taken over as
soon as possible and partly remod-
eled for use by the Disbursing Office
of the Treasury Department. which
already is crowded for space in the
adjacent Treasury Annex. at Penn
sylvania avenue and Madison place
NV.
The Cosmos Club will continue to
occupy its quarters at Madison place
and H street NV. for some time.
The Government has reached no de-
cision as to when the club buildings
will be taken over officials OF the
club are undecided on new quarters.
A check for 81 1OO0,000 went to the
Cosmos Club; the other, for $400 ,000,
is being paid jointly to the owners
of the Belasco property and the
theater interests which held 60
year lease on it.
New Building Eventually.
AS the Government already owns
the wilkins Building, adjacent to
the Cosmos Club. on H street, the
new purchases give the Govern
ment title to all property on Madi-
son place from Pennsylvania avenue
to H street, on the east side OF
Lafayette Square and for some dis
tance around the corner eastward on
H street. Eventually a new Federal
building will be erected there in line
architecturally with the already
existing Treasury annex.
In remodeling the Belasco Theater
an opening will be cut through the
walls from an upper floor of the
Treasury Annex, to an upper floor
of the theater building, which is
above the auditorium The space
probably will be used largely for
files and storage The basement
floor also likely will be made avail
able to the Disbursing Office, but no
