Lovingly, FRANKIE, SHAM WAR IS ON /AROUND NIANTIC CAMP, Red and Blue Armies Ready Fer De- of Duty. Camp Greund, Niantie, Conn, 17—Round ebout the state military | | Teservation for a radius of several miles a state of war exists, in gheory, | tonisht and the Biue and Red arimfes, the First-and Second regzimeats, re- spectively, are strengthening each their position’ and endeavo i that of the other in pseparation for the battle tomorrow, which will con- !clude the teur of duty for the state! mi s ksen here since | the first clash red when a detachme: y under command of Major Ri North_en- countered a' detachment of the Blue army. There was a fififteen minute skirmish as a result of which the Blue detachment, a company and twe offi- eers, was taken prisoners. The Red army is at Seranton’s apeut fifive miles out of camp an the Blue army are to the north of the Red army on.the west side ef Brides lake. Norwich Center For Blues. The theorectical situation is ~that the Connecticut river is the dividing line between two hostile states ~the | east side being the country of the Blue troops and the west side that of. the Reds. Tt is assumed that war has been declared rccently and that the troops of the Red forces are\ bein mobilized at New Haven and those o the Blue at Norwich.. This campalgn is an exoursion of the Red troops in- to Blue territory for the purpose of collecting supplies. The army is supposed to have left Westbrook to collect supplies in the vicinity of Nlantic. At Westbrook the Reds are assumed to have received information from a spy to the effect that the Blue forces, stremgth unknown, were ad- vancing in a southwesterly direction. The First regiment marched out of camp at one o'clock this afternoon and the Second regiment followed an hour Jater. The First proceeded to Brides lake, placing their outposts near the southwest corner of the lake while the main body is at the north end and acattered in the vicinity of Indian woods. The second took a route at right angles to the First and weat into position at Scranton’s farm with the outposts thrown out in the direc- tion of the Blue forces. Many Prostrations on March, ,Jhe day was very hot and during the march there were many cases of heat prostrations. While none of them wers &t all serious they gave the hospital corps considerable work for a time. It is not expected tonight that the battle will begin until -~ about four o'clock tomorrow morning. The men will be back in camp at eight and will be paid off. They will leave camp s0 as to reach homs efther the late afternoon or early evening.
