moves this country would make in
event of hostilities against our shores
Every possible plan of approach of an
enemy has been considered, and with
it has been evolved by the military
strategists a method for meeting such
an attack.
Not until the recent agitation over
national security was it known that
this nation is prepared for war, in
the sense of having such carefully
laid schemes of defense and offense,
Asst. Secretary of Navy Roosevelt
himself disclosed one of the secrets
when he indicated that fully 50,000
more men would have to be added to
the navy, if a foreign power were to
make war on this nation. But for the
most part, the views of and the
strategy of the military planners is
guarded with jealous care
Back of all these confidential war
moves lie two great organizations
the army and navy war colleges.
Their "game boards," in conjunction
with the fleet have developed these
war ideals to a nicety which officials
believe would stand the nation in
good stead in case of actual practice
instead of theory. The relation be
tween the "game-boards" and the
ictual fleet operation, in the navy for
instance, has been admittedly weak
in recent months. But the Navy De
partment has turned its attention to
making these problems of attack and
defense as practical as possible. To
this end, work is now under way to
make the relations between the theo
rists and the admirals and captains
-loser and more practical.
The "game board" is just what its
name signifies a huge board on
which the game Tjf destruction is
olayed by men trained to the arts of
leath.
The United SStates navy is repre
;ented by miniature ships of a cert
tin .color. The ships of an enemy are
lesigned by another color. They are
moved around like chess men, but the
lements of mathematical calculation,
f unerring acuracy, of navy strategy
inter into every movement. One
tactical mistake may destroy the
miniature United States fleet. To err
on the game board is serious busi
ness for it means that the man in
charge might do the same were he
engaged in a life and death struggle.
Then make the board play more re
alistic, the intricate problem suggest
ed by the board are transferred to
commanders of the big dreadnoughts.
There, these ideas are put into act
ual practice when maneuvers are pos
sible. Problems suggested by the naval
encounters of the European war have
been transferred to the game board
so that America's strategists may ben
efit from the spectacular feats of
British and German vessels alike.
And the army, too, works out man
euvers along the same line.

This morning at 7:30 o'clock a mar
riage of unusual interest took place
at the home of Mrs. N. A. Barwick,
on North Mitchell street. Miss Jen

Mr. W. F. Harper of Grifton.
The wide acquaintance of the' two

an interest beyond the ordinary.
Though the invitations were limited
to as small a number as possible, rel
atives and close friends, yet the house
was filled with admiring guests. The
bride, attractively attired in travel
ing suit of blue, came into the parlor
upon the arm of the groom. The cer

nard P. Smith of the Christian church.
Immediately after the marriage the
happy parties left for the Norfolk
Southern station, where amid show
ers of rice, they boarded a train for
Norfolk, from which place they will
go on to Baltimore and other points
upon a bridal tour.
Mrs. Harper is one of the most
highly esteemed young women of this
city and Mr. Harper enjoys the con
fidence of all who know him.
It will be a pleasure to the many
friends in Kinston to know that Mr.
and Mrs. Harper will live here for
the present at least.
