PLAY WAR AT DES MOINES
Regular Army Troops Will Join Iowa
National Guard.
BLUES AND BROWNS TO ENGAGE
Tkare ' Will B ISo Lack of
Accompaniments of Heal Warfare
Referees Decide Which
Bide Wlna.
DES MOINES., Aug. . (Special.) What
will the people aee when the army maneu-
vera are onT ...
Thla question was asked of General W. H.
Thrift today and he said they wouldn't
IM much of anything that thoy could
: understand, but woutdi have . to read the
papers to And out how the battle went.
Then he ant down and proceeded to de
scribe In United Statea language, unadorned
by military phrases. Just what would likely
happen and when It will happen.
Regular army officers who are to take
part In the maneuvers are all In De.s Moines
now and all the regular army troops are
here or will reach the city by tomorrow.
The Iowa National Guard troops will reach
the city Monday. The guard and the regu
lar army troops will bo equally divided, ao
that every arm and branch of the military
service will be represented In each army
The guard, which contains only Infantry
Companies, will furnish the Infantry and
the government furnthes a'l the rest.
There will be two of the guard regiments
In each army. The two northern regiments,
the Fifty-third, the companies of which are
located In the northoast Quarter of the
state, and the Fifty-sixth, the companies
of which are located In the northwest
quarter of the state, will be with what is
designated as the Blue army, and these
troops will arrive at Bister, la., a little
place north of this city, Monday. They
Will be along the Pea Moines river and will
he north of the other arniy ail during the
maneuvera. The Kifty-flfth regiment, from
the southwest quarter of the state, and the
Fifty-fourth, from the aoutheaat, will ar
rive at Dea Moines Monday. With each of
these armies on Tuesday will be joined one
squadron of the Second United States
cavalry and detachments of the artillery,
signal corps, hospital corp, and everything
else which is being brought from Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. '
The army forming at Slater will be under
the command of Colonel Bishop of the
guard, and the other will be under com
mand of Colonel Lincoln of the Iowa
Guard.
rarasllss of (he Armies.
The Blue army, after landing' at Slater
Monday, will march to a field Just north
east of Polk City, where It will camp for
the night. The Brown army, landing at
IVs Moines, will march north of this city
and camp for ths night out near Crocker's
woods. At these points they wtU be Joined
the next aajr by the troops from the regular
army and the two armies will then be
complete.
From the time the guard companies leave
home -till the maneuvers are over every
thing will be conducted In war-like fash
Ion, and outposts and sentries will be main
tained strictly.
1 Tuesday the Brown army will march
north to the state camp ground and rifle
range In a big bend In the Dec Moines
liver, and the Blue army will march from
Polk City south, across the C"rydon bridge
and take up a position along the road
from the Coiydon bridge ufter it turns
south. The two armies will then be abou'
two or three miles apart.
; It has been said that the bone of con
tention between the two armies will be the
Corydon bridge, but General Thrift says
this la not so. West of the Corydon bridge
Is a high bluff, with timber, and shoul.i
the Brown army take that position, with
rapid-fire guns and some artillery, no army
of equal force and strength could eve!
cross the Corydon bridge, so that point U
conceded and the Blue army will be al
lowed to cross the bridge.
Wednesday and Thursday will be apent In
preliminary maneuvers, maneuvers that
would not be neceskary In actual warfare,
where the troops were accustomed to golr.g
Into battle. The preliminary maneuvers
will be spent so as to get the guard and
the regular troops to working together In
good order and so that every one will un
derstand his business on Friday and Sat
urday. "Play War" Game.
Friday and Saturday of nirxt week will be
the big days for the maneuvers. On those
days both armies will be on the west side
of the Dcs Moines river, a short distance
north of the north limits of this city and
hut a short distance from the Interurban,
which runs parallel to the Des Moines river
and about a mile and a half from It. It will
not be very convenient for anyone to go
out from this city to see the maneuvers un
less they go In carriages or. vehicles, for
the maneuvers will be spread over a terri
tory of two to three or four miles. At no
time will the two armies come to any hand-to-hand
conflict. Three hundred yards Is the
cloaest they w ill bo allowed lo come under
the rule of the big "play war" game.
It will be a big Ave days' Institute In mod
em warfare.- Beginning Friday the armies
will approach each other for actual com
bat. With every company and detachment
there will be a regular army officer as a ref
eree. His business during the day will be
to record accurately on his map every
movement of the company to which he la
assigned. At night all the government ref
erees gather In a tent and a map Is made
of th entire day's- maneuvers. Then it la
decided Just what advantage each had.
Fls;arlaer Polats ( Tsstase.
If It Is found, for Instanoe, that a company
of the Infantry at a certain hour was
formed In a conspicuous place in close for
mation while on another eminence in a
group of trees or underbrush was concealed
a company of artillery or troops with
rapid-fire guns In easy range. It will be de
cided then and there that If the artillery
saw the Infantry and took advantage of
the situation to put a lot of Its monstrous
blank cartridges Into their ranks that the
Infantry company was annihilated, or, In
accordance with the length of time that the
infantry troop remained In the open that a
certain per cent of Its brave and gallant
sons were laid on the cold sod for after
generations to sing requelms over the
graves of the unknown heroes.
From that time on as that company par
ticipates In the maneuvers It will be counted
that It Is but part of a company. Modern
warfare Is a matter of how accurately a
mathematician can adjust a big, expensive
machine gun. Accurately adjusted and
trained on a company of infantry, It Is but
a question of how long the company re
mains in sight as to how many will be
killed. Of course, the matter will be com
plicated. A wise colonel, seeing a company
t Infantry out. from .under shelter, will get
the company back as soon as possible and
will also take note, of the artillery com
pany firing from' shelter. He will get his
nwn artillery In action and train It on the
underbrush or make a flank movement with
a couple of companies or more and try to
capture the artillery company.
Two Armies Eqeal. .
As they start out the two armies will
be of equal strength. They will have ex
actly the same number of men and the
same kind and nature of troops. In the
maneuvers one man on one side counts for
equal strength on the other. It Is not Un
likely that entire companies may be cap
tured bodily during the maneuvers. If
they are they will be held as prisoners for
the balance of the maneuvers Just as
though they were "hated and' despised
Japs" engaged in firing on our Pacific coast
line. They will be put under guard and
confined as prisoners of war.
At the close of the Friday maneuvers the
government referees will gather In a tent
and figure It all out. Then stereoptlcon
slides will be made of the maneuver maps
and the officers of both armies will be called
together and slide after slide will be thrown
on a screen to show Just what position
the various troops occupied each hour or
quarter hour of 'the day and Major Bough
ton of Fort Leavenworth, the chief referee,
will deliver a lecture and school of In
structions to the officers, explaining the
whole matter, where they made their mis
takes and their shrewd moves and will tell
all about It.
Instrartloaa from Referees.
On Saturday night 'the same thing will
be done and as that will close the maneu
vers it will then be learned Just which army
was victorious and which was defeated.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the days ct
the preliminary maneuvers, the govern
ment referees will be with the companies
and will Instruct them on preliminary mat
ters, but as ths enemy will nowhere be in
sight no brave sons will be called upon
to give their lives to their country.
On Friday and Saturday, when the actual
maneuvera take' place, there will be an
abundance of fireworks. Cannon will boom,
there will be the crack of the infantry
and the rattle of the rapid fire guns. It
will be conducted as though It was regu
lar warfare, but U any of ths spectators
get between the lines they are not likely
to get Bhot, though they are likely to be
ordered to "get out of the way.'"
That the maneuvers are no small under
taking Is evidenced by the fact that It will
take 1,000 head of horses and mules to
manage them. About aiO of these will be
attached to the Iowa National Guard for
hauling provisions and the like. The rest
will be officers' mounts and the mounts of
the two squadrons of the Second cavalry
and the horses and mules they use for
bringing in provisions., The base of supplies
of the Blue army, which will occupy the
position to the north, will be Polk City,
and of the Brown army the base of supplies
will be Des Moines. ' About twelve tons
each of hay and, oats, will be consumed by
the horses and mules during the maneu
vers. For the men It will take a refrigerator
carload of beef, bacon and bam every
morning. There will be a total of S.noo or
8.000 men In action. The guard will furnish
about half of this, there, being about 700
men In each of the four regiments. Besides
the meat supply there will be vegetables
and potatoes and bread and coffee . and
other supplies to be handled and it means
no small undertaking.
No Lack of War Correspondents.
With each of the armies Is to be a corps
of gallant war correspondents. Each of
the papers here will have two or three men
assigned to the task of writing up the
maneuvers. They will accompany the
armies and will be furnished mess and tent
by the guard. Tliey will furnish their own
mounts and cots and ' blankets andv the
world each day will be well informed on
the progress of the big battle.
Satusday night the troops will all be
mustered for pay, and, the battle bring
ended, will march In together to the point
north of thla city where the Brown army
camped Monday night. They will remain
there over Sunday and on Monday will
march into the city of Des Moines to be
reviewed by the governor and his staff and
distinguished, clt liens. A reviewing stand
will be erected on" Fifth street facing south.
It will be on the north side of Locust street
and will be Just east of the Marquardt
Savings bank. Here on Monday morning
the troops will pass In review and will then
embark and go to their homes and the
maneuvers will be at an end.

epidemic of sore throat IM the village. Thoy
believe, however, that It may have re
sulted from the dust raised by automobiles.
More than iu persons have been attacked
by the malady, which, although of an ag
gravated form disappears after the second
day. No' deaths have occurred.
DUBLIN, July 17. Aa regards organiza
tion the situation In Ireland somewhat re
sembles that In HiiHstyi. Various bodies
working toward the same common end are
In the field, and one pulls against the
other, to the detriment of the cause. The
anti-home rulers In Great Britain and
Ireland feel assured that the divisions that
have sprung up In the nationalist ranks will
largely relieve them of the necessity of
fighting against the dismemberment of the
empire, and they are satisfied that the old
dictum of "divide and conquer", still holds
good.
To learn how the United Irish league ac
tually stands' and what Its Intentions are
the writer called upon Dennis Johnston,
who has charge of the headquarters of the
organization In Dublin. Mr Johnston be
gan by lamenting that the Sinn Fein party
and ths national council had come Into
antagonism with the league. .The alms of
both bodies were Identically the same until
the action of the parliamentary party came
Into question. The Sinn Feiners wanted
the Irish nationalists to withdraw .from
Parliament, and to head the agitation In
Ireland. Many strong reasons might be
urged aglnst this course. In the first
place, the-party must be In Parliament at
least once In twelve months, and If they
absented themselves the country would
be put to the trouble and expense of a gen
eral election. -
Political Strategy Involved.
If they did withdraw Ireland would be
represented in the house by eighteen
unionists, who would do what they liked
with the various Irish Interests that are
brought up for discussion, such as the
amendment of the" land act of 1903, the
evicted tenants, the education question and
the financial relations" between the two
countries. He might say , that ,' the coun
try was practically solidly against the
withdrawal of the members. Mr. Dolan,
member of Parliament, had expressed his
determination to resign his seat and go up
for re-election on the Sinn Fein ticket;
but he had not resigned yet. He had held
several meetings, at each of which the
people had in the most emphatic way shown
him that they did not agree with his policy.
He attempted to address l.OuO people the
other day. The people turned their hack
upon him, and in the end he had to seek
refuge In a police barrack.
Asked the strength of the 81nn Fein party
Mr. Johnston aald It could not be given.
The two leading men connected with it
were John Sweetman, who was a grazier
In the county Meath and a rancher In
Minnesota, and P.. T. Daly. Mr. Sweet
man Vontlnued to be a grazier, although
one of the aims of the Sinn Fein was to do
away with the grazing system. It was Im
possible to say what the strength of the
Sinn Fein party Is, but it was a telling fact
that while police note takers attended the
meetings of the United Irish league they
were never to be seen at Jlie Sinn Fein
meetings. It was hard to discover members
of the new organization In the districts In
which branches were said to exist. Ed
ward Martyn, the recently retired leader of
the society, was the first president of the
sectarian body known as the Catholic asso
ciation, and the present leader Is Alderman
Cole, who is today one of the chief oppo
nents of the same association.
League Stronger Than Ever.
With regard to the present position of the
United Irish league, Mr. Johnston declared
that since the rejection by the country of
Mr. Birrell's bill It has become stronger
than ever. It has 1.600 branches In Ireland
and TOO branches across the channel in
Great Britain, while abroad, including
America, there Is a vast auxiliary organiza
tion. That the auxiliaries are more than
sentimental was proved last year by the
24,000 sent to Ireland, mainly from the
United States.
Asked concerning 'the evicted tenants,
he said that of the tenants who had been
evicted on the plan of campaign estates,
where the people submitted to eviction as
a protest, about 88 per cent had been
reinstated on their holdings, and the re
maining 12 per cent, who were still out,
belonged to the Clanrlcurde and Lewis es
tates In the county of Galway.
The people were satisfied with the re
sult of the cattle drives and were con
fident that next year the majority of the
grazing lands would .be In their hand.
During the drives not the slightest cruelty
was ever practiced on a single animal.
The stock were simply driven from the
grazing lands and delivered to the owners
wherever they lived and a receipt ask-d
for. Outside Birr, when the drive was in
progress when the lambs became tired
the men carried them on their shoulders,
and he had even seen fatigued sheep car
ried by the drivers. The animals were
never scattered or driven on to the roads
to wander. In one cave, In which the
owner lived about eight miles from the
ranch, the people drove the stock to the
police barracks, where they handed them
over to the constabulary, who gave a re
ceipt. Thla proved two things that the
people had a desire that the stock should
be well treated and that they were not
afraid vt the consequences of their
actions. They presented themselves to the
police, knowing that they would be Idea
lined. '
O'Brien and the Party.
Concerning William O'Hrlun, Mr. John
ston said that the party had cordially in
vited him to return when the Ulrn ll bill
was rejected and the country had declared
solidly that devolution was dead, and that
nothing but a clear measure of home rule
would do. Before rejoining Mr. O'Brien
would have to cast devolution aside, but hs
did not seem inclined to take this step.
Hence his position was one of difficulty.
Devolution was still dangling before ths
eyes of the people, and It was a strange
fact that here and there newspapers owned,
ostensibly by men who had no money had
been started to further the policy. Where
the capital for the running of the papers
came from was one of the mysteries.
Asked If he had any expressions, par
ticularly for America, Mr. Johnston said
that the league would be Kind If the Amer
ican people were given to understand that
their great efforts on behalf of Ireland
were fully appreciated. At home ' It was
felt that the people across the ocean were
keener than ever, and the league was de
termined that their confidence In those at
j home would not be misplaced. An ex
haustive program had been prepared for
the fighting In the coming fall and win
ter, when there would be, In addition to
other things, monster demonstrations In all
parts of the country In furtherance of the
home 'rule propaganda. It was a regrettable
thing that the Sinn Fein party had sprung
up to oppose the United Irish league, and
It was more particularly regrettable owing'
to the fact that the ends of the two organi
zations were Identical.
The Sinn Feiners told the leaguers that
certain things should he done, but did
not say luw.thev should h dnna. Aa tnr
J themselves they were always denouncing
I tho Boer war and circulating anti-enllstlng
j pamphlets at night, yet they allowed a
I memorial arch to be erected to soldiers who
I fotiKht in tho war, without having uttered
a single word of protest, and none of them
had ever gone to Jail for his anti-arm
feelings. The league recognized that It
had a tough fight before It, but It was
prepared for It. At a league meeting ths
other day in Meath he had lighted a flee
that he hoped would spread. He had sug
gested that when the Irish people could not
get a home manufactured article, they
should Insist upon getting It of American
nunufaciurv, and the noises: Ion had cacjit
uii me country, as America lie I pea Ireland
Ireland should so far as possible, although
It wan not wry big, help America.
Condemns ths Hibernians.
NEW YORK, Aiir. 3 News from Scot,
