INHABITANTS ARK KEEPING NERVOUS EYE TOW ARD THE NARROWS. National Guardsmen Hurrying North to Connecticut pnd Leaving the City Protected Only by the Guns of the Fort Manoeuvcrs Attract ing the Attention of the Whole Civ ilized World. New York, Aug. 10. New York to day are keeping a nervous eye out toward the Narrows, watching for hostile smoke, and any minute the towers of the Singer building and the Woolworth building are expected to Ik? clipped off with a projectile. The National Guardsmen are hurrying north, into middle Connecticut, leav- ' ing the city to shift for itself, with nothing but the guns of the forts to bar the approach of the enemy. The newspapers of the city are informing the citizens that it is necessary fui the guardsmen to go north, for there ; is a hostile army approaching the city and an army need scarcely get within forty miles of New York in order to reduce it entirley. At least that is the condition of af fairs according to the plan of the most extensive and important man oeuvres ever held between the United States army and the National Guard , Twenty thousand men are taking part in the manoeuvres, which are attrac ting the attention of the whole mili tary world and which have been the subject of exciting discussion for weeks past. The manoeuvres are the largest in the history of the country. In the Massachusetts war games of 190y there were some 12,000 men en gaged, while at the regular army mo- j bilization last year there were some ; 15,000 or 16,000 troops, but this was counting by regiments. Counting al- 1 so by regiments in the present in stance, there would be about 30,000 men in the campaign. There are a number of regiments of regulars from all branches of the service, to impart to the greater guardsmen of some thing of the knack of war. The point of interest in these and other man oeuvres is how the man from cities j and farms will carry themselves in ' a crisis. Over 100 officers of the reg- ; ular army are participating in them. The officers, who wil? act as obser- ! vers and instructors, have been gath ered from all parts of the country and represent every arm of the service. : Among the officers are Cols. Robert i L. Bullard, Hunter Liggett and John S. Mallory, Lieut. Cols. Joseph A. Gaston and Ernest Hinds, and Maj ors C. C. Hearn, Guy Carlton, Evan M. Johnson, Jr., Robert D. Walsh, Charles S. Farnsworth, Robert Alex- ande rand Frank H. Ferguson. Brig. Gens. Edward A. McClernand and Frederick A. Smith, who are to command the opposing armies in the theoretical attack on New York art accompanied by their staffs. The second batallion of the third United States Field Artillery from Fort Mver. Virginia, have marched the entire distance under the command of Major Charles P. Summerall, who was, until a few years ago the artil- lery instructor at West Point. The most up-to-daf'e tactics will be employed in the great war game, which is intended to train mili- tiamen in the defense of their own country. For the first time in the case of such manoeuvres in this coun - try each of the armies will be accom- . . . panied by an aeroplane, l ne ma - chines have already arrived at Bridge- port, Ct., from Colee Park, Md The aviators who will operate them are .Capt. Charles lie F. Chandler, Capt. Paul Beck, Lieut. H. H. Arnold, and LiAit. T. de M. Milling. The great Atlantic fleet, the pride of the American navy, is to be crush ed.
