By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, Md., April 4—Greater use of the “padlock” injunction in Volstead cases is to be made in the suture, United States District Attor- ney Woodcock announced today. The new method in liquor cases, he said, will be to obtain a tempor- ary {njunction against places where liquor is said to be sold as soon as the’ proprietor is arrested. Yater, if the man is convicted, a Tmanent injunction will be asked. | Up to this time injunctions never have been asked by the district at- torney until a man has been con- | vigted of selling or making liquor. Under the proposed method a man | would be enjoined from selling | liqior before it had been proved in court that he had been guilty of it. S0 » EDUCATOR MAY ACCEPT. |is MIGHTY U. S. ARMADA WILL ATTEMPT TO WREST HAWAII FROM ENEMY LAND FORCE IN TEST All Modern Warfare Ma- chinery to Be Used in Blue-Black Battle. ARMY AND NAVY NAME UMPIRES FOR FIGHT Airplanes to Play Vital Part in Tactical Pro- blem in Pacific. BY MAJ. JOHN L. HINES. Chict of aff, United States Army. During the last week of this month the Hawailan Islands will undergo the novel experience of being bom- barded, attacked and assaulted by a United States fleet, for that very fleet will have suddenly received nidocean instructions to capture the islands in order to obtain the excellent naval base in Pearl Harbor. The islands are hostile territory; the color under which their garrisons will fight will be black; while the ships of war fly the blue of the American Nav The operations that will take place will be the third in series of our grand joint exercises participated in annually by the Army and Navy. It is assumed that the Hawalian Islands belong to an enemy. Their defenders called the “Black™ forces, consist of the Regular Army garrison of Oahu, commanded by Maj. Gen. Edward M. Lewis; the National Guard of the H. aijan Island the Army reserv- ists on the islands, the naval forces of the 14th Naval District, com- manded by Rear Admiral John D. McDonald, supplemented by various submarine divisions and a mine squadron. The attacking force, called the “Blue” force, will consist of the bat- tle fleet, commanded by Admiral S. 8. Robison; the scouting fleet, com- manded by Admiral J. McKean; the controt force and the fleet base force, minus some submarines and mine ships “lent” to the enemy occu- ifg Oahu. With the attackers will sall a marine expeditionary force prepared to land and seize a naval base. Thus the Army and Navy forces will be operating together in the defense of the islands. Lack of funds compels the Army to abstain from participation in the attack; therefore, Army troops will be repre- gented by detachments of marines rrying flags to show that they ‘represent” Army troops Test Like Real War. Military maneuvers are held by all | countries in order to carry out the prin- ciple of defensive doctrine under which a nation must not only.be ready, but also be practiced in its readiness. The Hawaiian euvers will give actual practice under conditions as nearly ap- proximating those of real combat as it possible to create without causing casualties. They will provide instruc- tion in the application of principles on the use of which depends success or failure in war. “The school of war,” eays Marshal s not always in_session. It can- GEN.

Such grand joint exer- s a practical test plans. They stimulate com- manders to bring their equipment and personnel to superlative heights of per- ion by the definite time designated “zero hour’” for the maneuvers. The attempts against the Dardanelles | form the most outstanding example of a | joint army-navy attack against fortified | coastal positions. We know that the al- | lies failed to take the Dardanelles in | spite of the superior armament of their ships, in spite of the adaptability of the | Harbor of Moudros as an adjacent oper- | ating base and in spite of the eubstan- tial military expedition provided by the army. Our maneuvers will be an Amer- jcan trial at the attack of a modern coast defensive system. The fleet will be operating from a dls- San Francisco, 2,080 miles HINES, ‘et the fleet will carry the can muster.

Best Ships In “Battle.” On Oahu, there are military forces consisting of coast defense installa- air units, mobile heavy ar- tillery, howitzer rallway artillery, the entire Hawailan combat division, un- 192 PART men, ebout 300 hundred reserve offi- cers without unit organizations, and four cadet corps, three at high schools and one at the University of Hawall. In addition there are the naval forces of the Fourteenth Naval District, in- cluding a nsval alr force and subma- rines. There are also eagle boats at present “out of commission.” Whether these can be manned by reservists in the vichity is a part of - the prob- lem. 2 To overcome- this Hawailan “ene- my” with the modernized fortifica- tions now installed, the United States is sending out its historic and power- tul battle fleet, comprising the strongest ships which have ever flown the American flag, many of them the very ships which joined the British tn the North Sea and awed the Ger- mans into surrender without a battle With these larger ships of war will g0 the host of destroyers, part of the submarine force, and the air units, in- cluding three observation plane squadrons, one torpedo and bombing plane squadron, and three fighting plane squadrons. These forces will be further increased by the presence of the Atlantic scouting fleet with its air and * auxiliary units, and a Marine expeditionary force, detach- ments from which will represent the Army that might be shipped in trans- ports to effect a landing on the coral coasts of Oahu. Trial of Alr Forces. The maneuvers will afford an ex- cellent opportunity to develop the ef- ficlency of air forces in defending and attacking coast lines, as well as to test the adequacy of the alr forces now assigned to Oahu. It may be ac. cepted as a fact that the development of Air Service in its employment in attack of a fleet has added to the strength of coastal defenses. It is not proved that the Air Service, Army, or Navy, can protect the Islands alone and unassisted. Yet the battleship bombing tests proved that airplanes may be very dangerous to seacraft. The land forces have the advantage in being able to house and maintain a greater number and variety of air- planes than the arplane carriers of the fleet can accommodate.

On the other hand, the blue attackers will have the advantage of fixed targets | for their bombing operations. The position of a big coast dafense gun in a fixed battery cannot be shifted as a naval vessel may be. It has been announced by the Navy Department that the battle fleet will sall from San Francisco on April 15, en route to Hawali and thence to Aus- tralia. Some time during Its voyage its commander will receiv= radio in- structions that the Hawalian Islands | are in the hands of an enemy und must be seized. At the same instant the Army and Navy commanders on Oahu will be informad that they must prevent the capture of the naval base at Honolulu and Pearl Harbor by the “blue” fleet. The maneuvers which follow will be umpired Ly methods similar to those used last year during the Panama joint maneuvers. Work of Umpires. The chief of staff of the Army and Admiral Koontz, the commander-in- chief of the United States fleet, will jointly occupy the post of chicf nm- pire. Gen. Leroy Eltinge will be senior umpire black, detafled with the black military and naval forces, and Capt. W. H. Standley, U. S. senior umpire blue, detailed with the blue forces. Each of these umpires will be pro- vided with an adequate assistants to enable him t> keep in touch with all phases of operations. The umpires will be the “neutral” observers. They will have their own “neutral” communications systems to maintaln contact amony themsaives and with the contendins forces.
