WAR GANE BEING PLAYED BY SHEPS Soutbern New England Is “At- tacked” Today Kewsort, R. L. May 17 (P—South- ern Xew England “went to war” at 12:01 & m. Eastern Standard time stroyers steamed out of Narragansett Bay bent on locat- | ing an invading (black) armada of 78 ships which has in which to land a theoretical force of 75,000 men between Chatham, Mass., and the mouth of the Connecticut 1ver—the technical start of an en- emy drive to seize industrially rich | New England and the all-important | port of New Yorl The blue il steam straight offshore ata 10-knot speed, according to word from intelligence headquarters here early today, drawing a cordon of ships across the stretch of coastline to be protected. The fleet will turn back 150 miles out if the black ships have not| been sighted, and by nightfall the cordon will have been drawn in- | ward again to prevent any out- flanking movement on the part of the enemy. The blue ships will make no at- tempt to engage the more powerful blacks at sca. It object will be to keep the land defense mand of Major eral Brown, posted on the enemy ments, that his force of troops may be concentrated quickly | at any threatened landing point. { Skeletonized infantry, anti-aircraft, ignal and other units are scattered along the entire “‘war zone' coast- line intent on giving the alarm/ should the blacks succeed in slipping | through the blue fleet, while four | army dlvisions stand ready for in-| stant mobllization—the 26th at| Camp Devens, the 76th at Hartford, | Conn., the 97th at Putnam, Conn,| and the 94th at Taunton. Powerful searchlights, sound de- tectors and a small force of naval | seaplanes constitute the remainder of the blue's equipment for detect-| ing the approach of the black forces. “The planes will take the alr during | the day to augment the sea patrol and give warning of the numerous | feints at the shoreline which are expected from Rear Admiral Hughes' | powertul invading ficet. | Training in the use of the new| armament and an attempt to de-| termine whether the army or navy | has the major responsibility in pre- venting the landing of a hostile force will be two of the biggest purposes of the joint maneuvers, General Brown has explained.
