WARSHIPS TO ATTACK
WASHINGTON DEFENSES
ARMY AND NAVY MANEUVERS TO
BE CARRIED OUT
Operations Will Be Bloodless and
Practically Noiseless, and Will In.
terest Chiefly the War Experts
Concerned in Them
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 4.—Six
teen warships will attack the defenses
of 'Washington and Baltimore at mid
nlghf June 11 and continue their of
fensive operations for six days and
nights. Meanwhile the fortresses along
Chesapeake bay and the Potomac river,
constituting the artillery districts of
the the Chesapeake, Washington and
Baltimore, will put forth every defense
of which they are capable. With It all,
the struggle Is to be bloodless, practi
cally noiseless, devoid of the spectacular
and intensely interesting only to the
army and navy experts who are play
ing the game and know the construc
tive effect of the unloaded mines and
the empty shells.'
The exercises are to constitute the
only joint operations of the army and
navy during the year. They have been
designated "joint exercises" to distin
guish them from the more elaborate
movements of "combined army and
navy" , maneuvers, which were first
planned but which failed of approval
for lack of an adequate appropriation
from congress. The operations are to
be conducted under rules which have
been agreed upon by a joint board of
army and navy officers. Considerable
Importance is attached to the distinc
tion between maneuvers and joint exer
cises.
Maneuvers are held to apply to opera
tions where actual war conditions are
simulated, while exercises mean only
that certain prescribed problems are to
be attempted.

PHILADELPHIA, June 4.— The ex

seventy of the reform organization
which took a prominent part in the gas
lease fight and which had a ticket
known as the "City Party" in the field
at the last city election, issued its
declaration of principles tonight for
the coming political election. It says:
"The main end which this committee
has in view Is the good government of.
our city by the people and for the peo
ple. To accomplish this result it pro
poses to devote its best efforts as fol
lows:
"1. To the election of honest, capa
ble and disinterested officials, and to
this end it will aid the constituted au
thorities by every means in its power
in purging the assessors' list and in the
honest enforcement of the election laws.
"2. In advocating personal registra
tion in obedience to the mandate of the
people, which the recent legislature no
openly disobeyed.
"3. In advocating the repeal of the
amendments of the Bullltt bill, which
serves to mutilate the best charter we
ever had. (The recent legislature
amended the city charter so that.af
ter Mayor Weaver's term expires
councils and not the mayor shall have
the power of appointing and removing
the ■ directors of the departments of
public safety and public works.)
"4. In insisting upon the following
principles in theadmlnlstartlon of city
affnirs: That the police shall be en
tirely disassociated from politics; that
tejiure of office in' city departments
shall not be dependent upon political
contributions; that all contracts and
proposals for the use or disposition. of
the city's franchises shall be given the
largest publicity and ample time for
consideration."
The declaration urges nil citizens to
organize under the platform of the
"City Party," and, continuing, says:
"The committee is not advocating
municipal or private ownership, free
silver or the gold standard, socialism
or aristocracy, tariff or free trade, or
anything else except honest officials,
far! elections, the repeal of the Ripper
bills and a 'square deal' for every
body."

By twos and threes, dozens, scores

one object In view to get a badge as

trolley terminals, and beaches and re

The hotels had them at night— also
the caravansaries had their troubles.
What with 20,000 of them headed this

men fit In where half a dozen would be
crowded. Nor Is It a joke to handle
some thousands of pieces of baggage,
and the transfer men also had their
