Middleboro, Mass., Aug. 13.—Tomor- row at noon Boston will be besleged by an armed “encmy.” Landing some- where on the southern coast of Mas- sachusetts, the hostfle forces will make every effort to “capture” the metropolis of New England. The hope of the city in the matter of defemse and security mast lie with Brigadier General Willam A. Pew, Jr., who has been designated by Governor Draper to command the entire force of Massachusetts troops. Despite the Iact that in the coming bldodless war, the enemy in fighting strength and pumbers will be nearly forty per cent. stronger, General Pew has no fear |hat Boston will be “captured.” Major General Tasker H. Bliss will com- mand the Invading force. Biant Tacks in Roadways to Bar Au- tos. Both generals will follow closely the yegular rules of warfare. The auto- obile is to play an important -art the manoeuvres, and as the enemy, or the army of the “Red” will be much stronger in this respect than the defending “Blue” force, General Pew must use his wits to combat their ef- iveness. One plan he will adopt E unique. By his orders, Capt. Charles . Clark, quartermaster of the Eighth ry, has secured a barrel of giant tacks, two inches in diameter across the head and the same length on the shank. These are to be distributed the sandy roads of Plymouth and | eounties which mey be used the “Red” army. lifi signs have prepared, warning all of the pres- of the tacks, and the enemy may Jake he ‘chamce’ of passing on such ru. or mot, as its commander sees t.

It is also prob- that General Pew will endeavor smash the rear guard of the Red at the same time. Drly Manoeuwring Saturday and Sun- day.

Following this, he would hurl his main stremgth on the right of the Blue army and break through before General Pew could recover. When this ;.lflllllty was suggested to Gqueral ‘ew, the latter simply smiled and said “Let him try that, it would werk great (for us).” WARLIKE SCENE IN NEW YORK.

It is assumed that the great At- lantic battleship fleet, which is safely off the Virginia capes, has been sunk and that about all that remains to conquer the United States Is to make & successful invasion by land forces. Reviewed by Acting Mayor. It was just as the workers avere fil- ing out of the downtown skyscrapers this evening that they were held up by the police, to give the militia right of way. The Seventh regiment, New York national guard, togged out In khakl trousers, brown shirts, puttees, campaign hats and carrying blanket rolls, canteens and haversacks, as well as rifles and belts containing 20 rounds of ammunition each, marched across the plaza in front of the City hall and was reviewed by Acting May- or McGowan and eother cities officials. The men of Squadron A, the crack New York cavalry command ,also passed afoot, for their mounts had al- ready been s hipped. Activity on Broadw About the same time, great crowds of spectators watched ‘a similar ac- tivity on upper Broadway. The Twen- ty-second regiment of enginsers—sey- eral hundred strong—left their armory at Sixty-seventh street and Broudwa and laden with war equipment boar ed an . station platform and took a train for. a North river pier, where they embarked with the other troops on the steamers PRilgrim, Puritan and Boston, which have been’ chartered for use as transports, ¢ Relatives Bid Soldiers Farewell.

Embarked at New Haven to Join the “Red Army.” New Haven, Aug. 14.—Not, perhaps, since the days of the Civil war has New Haven presented such a martial apperance as it assumed late last night | and early this morning when the mil- itiamen from all parts of the state rendezvoused here preparatory to em- | barking for the Massachusetts coals where they will join the Red army in their attack on Boston, which is being | defneded by the Blue army. With the exception of the Governor's Foot Guard and the Coast Artillery the armories of the other organizations of the state began late vesterday aft- ernoon to assume a warlike appearanc that boded ill for the army of the Blue in the coming conflict. A final inspection of uniforms and arms was made and much thought given to the necessities to be put in the blanket rolls, it being a hard problem to take everything that seemed necessary and yet have that part of the equipment as light as possible. A late order re- ceived today allowed the men to take blouses as ‘a protection against cool weather. Another indication that the coming manoeuvres will not be all play was given the last thing before leaving the armories when the men were pre- sented with picks, shovels and axes. The first of the Red army to leave was Troop A cavalry, under the com- mand of Captain Luzerae Ludington. The troop accompanied by the fleld ar- tillery, the Branford battery and the Guilford ‘Coast/ guards, boarded -the steamer City of Taunton shortly after one o'clock. Troop A will Join the cavalry dlvision which will be com- posed of New York and New Jersey companies and a squadron of the Tenth cavalry, U: S.

A special from Waterbury brougit in| Companies A and G of the Second regi- | ment of that place and Company M | of Torrington, of the same iment. The Middle:cwn, Meriden and Walling- ford companies of the Second came in on a special shortly after two o'clock. \ On the arrival of the troops they marchad to Bslle dock where they boarded the General Nathanael Greene and General Harvey Brown and wers taken out to the transport Mead, an- chored about six miles out in the har- bor. The out of town troops were joined on the Mead by the local com- panies of the Second regiment and the start for the seat of war made. The state infantry will compose the Third brigade of the Red army and will be unier the command of Colon: James Geddes. of the Second regiment, the senior colone’ The cammander of the state forces, Adjutant General George M. Cole, will be attached to the staff of General Leonard Wood, the chief umpire. The troops, it is expected, will ar- rive at the seat of war this afternoon and the real work be begun early Monday morning. END OF ENCAMPMENT.

SUTTON ARGUMENTS FINISHED Mrs. Sutton Says if Finding Is Ad- verse She Will Carry the Case Fur- th Annapolis. Aug. 13.—The largest audience that has attended a session thus far was present this morning at the beginning of the last day of the open sessions of the court of inquiry investigating the death on October 13, 1907, of Lieut. James N. Sutton, Jr., U. S. M. C.. The attraction was the summing up by Henry M. Davis, the counsel for Mrs. Sutton, and by A. E. Birney, counsel for Lieutenant Ad- ams, and possibly something from Ma- jor ‘Henry -Leonard, judge advocate. Mr. Davis' argument did lead the judge advocate to speak, though brief- ly, and what he said was not in the nature of ‘argument touching the cas The members of the court were al in blue undress uniform, which gave the scene in the courtroom a more for- mal air than when, as has been the case hitherto, they wore white duck. Mrs. Sutton was not at the afternoon session. It was explained privately that she had been so affected by the touching references of Mr. Davis to her lost son that she did not feel able | to appear in the afternoon. Mrs..Rose Sutton Parker. her daughter, was present throughout the proceedings, however, and followed the arguments with the closest attention, as had her mother those of Mr. Davis in the morning. The court will sit tomorrow in pri- vate for the purpose of discussing the findings which when reached will be forwarded to the navy department at Washington, whence the' announce- ment of the result of the inquiry will | be made. The judge advocate said he would request that this announce- ment be made at the earliest posgible moment. Mrs. Sutton said tomight that if the findings of the court of inquiry de- clare as did those of the former board of inquest, that her son committed sui- cide, she will carry the case still fur- ther, though in just what way she is not now prepared to sa THROAT CUT BY ROBBERS. | Efderly Second-Hand Clothes Man of New York, Known to Keep Large Amount of Cash.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 13.—At an ex- tended conference tonight with Sec- retary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor, Postmaster Gen- eral Hitchcock and L. Dana Durand, director of the census, President Taft approved the appointment of 350 super- visors of the thirteenth census. The list had been prepared at Washington for the president and the qualifications of every man inquired into. There were some vacant districts in Ken- tucky, however, when the two cabinet officers and the director of the censux arrived in Beverly this afternoon, and these were put up to the president for settlement. When it is considered that each cen- sus supervisor will have a tremendous field force of enumerators under him, be readily realized Each of the supervisors will receive a salary of $2,000 and their work will extend over eight or ten months. The enumerators will not have so long a service. Tn most of the states supervisors are appointed in each congressionai w trict. This system does not prevail in New England. Maine, for instance, has but two supervisors, while Massachu- setts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island have but one each. Director Durand said today that he hoped to have the supervisors actively at_work by the middle of October. The conference at the Taft cottage did not begin until nearly 9 o'clock tonight and continued until a late hour. —— Outing of New England's Fat Men's Club.
