LOKDON. Sept. 2. A atate of warfare,
which will continue throughout the week,
began this morning on the military area
known as Salisbury plain. The troops of
one district are being pitted against thos
of another, some ..ow iriea of all ranks
being engaged, this being the usual strength
of the Aldershot command. Lieutenant
General Blr Jan Hamilton, commander of
the southern district, with W.pnc troops, is
playing the part of an lavadar from -Blue-land,"
described as a country situated
seren days' steaming from "Redland." soon
whose shores HamiltTi baa effected a
landing. The defending force Is under the
command cf Major General S:r Frederick
Btopford. Marlborough I supposed to b
the chief harbor oa Uie east coast and the
only other places suitable for landing
troop are FigtteMean and Wilton 'bay.
"Redland" la supposed to have as Its cap
ital Redtown." which Is laid down about
forty mile west of Bath. A certain en-gagc-ment
Is assvraed t bare occurred and
arrangements are anderstood to have been
made for capturing "Redtown." All the
various mobilizations, marchings, establish
ment of garrisons, etc. having been ef
fected, the cavalry brigades of the two
forces are expected to eome Into touch
today. Then the work will g-o on without
intern, ission as In actual warfare, one
phase of the campaign merging Itself into
another until the problem set lor elucida
tion Is solved.
Reminding their men that public spirit
led the landholders to place their ground
at the disposal of the military authorities,
the officers have announced that endc-avors
should be made to avoid damage and an
noyance and that the game in the Isnd
owners' preserves particularly must not be
molested.

settled by arbitration.
The general situation throughout the
country Is good from a labor standpoint.
Wages, according to reports In th hands
of the federal bureau of labor, were never
so high In this country as now, nor were
there ever so many men at work. Hours
have shortened rather than lengthened, and
the remuneration, according to government
experts, hss generally kept pace with the
