(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Newbedford, Mass., Aug. 16 The
red army of 'invasion Is moving on
Boston. The war game is on in earn
est. By night Boston may have fal
len before the attack of Brigadier
General Tasker H. Bliss. With the
advance early today of the army of
over 10,000 trained troops. General
Bliss made his first decisive move in
America's greatest war manoeuvprs.
: Although badly exhausted from a
twelve mile advance over bad roads,
the soldiers were up with the bugle
call today. Cheered by encouraging
nods from brigade headquarters con
cerning the twelve "battleships"
which had sailed under cover of
darkness to capture the forces in
Boston harbor, the invaders fell
quickly to the task before themV
But five miles separated the op
posing forces this morning as the men
of the Red Army broke camp. Scouts
kept constant watch for the Blues
and their every movement was flash
ed back through the lines to brigade
headquarters, where -General Bliss
held council of war with the officers
bf his command.
The first, second and third New
York regiments occupied the left
flank of the line with two companies
bf signal corps. To the centre were
the Seventh, Nineteenth and Twenty
second New York regiments and the
two Connecticut regiments. On the
right flank were the two Washington
regiments. It was an impenetrable
line, the formation of which-was ex-
cellent for any qulek, decisive and
strategic move.
Not nnlv was It thought at the
breaking of .camp today that a flank
movement would be made In conjunc
tion with the attack by the "twelve
battleships" but it also seemed plain
that General Bliss had determined on
a strategic movement to cut off the
retreat of the left flank of the army
of the defense.
The Defense.
Headquarters Army of the Blue
East Bridgewater, Mass., Aug. 16
Mrauta from the Blue Army this
morning brought word to General
Pew, the commander-in-chief of the
city's defenders, that they had seen
the vanguard of the Red Army going
forward in the early dawn.
"They will be bottled up before
the day Is over; they can't cross our
line of defense," declared General
Pew. ,. -
The general said that an effectual
check would he put upon the invaders
before nightfall.
Reveille was sounded at 4 o'clotTt
and the soundly sleeping militiamen
tumbled out to dress quickly In the
chill morning. A quick meal of beans
ahd"coffee was served and at the hour
appointed, the word to move rang out
in each camp.
The advance was made at a sharp,
swinging pace and at the end of the
first hour each brigade . commander
sent word to General Pew that he
i had covered four miles.
General Pew was hoping for ad-
, vires from the war balloon at Brock
ton, from which he expected to get
information as to the movements of
the fnvaders.
The plans for today's work by the
army of the Blue were made at a
council of war which ended just af
ter midnight. General Pew with the
brigade commander and the regular
army officers with the army of the
Blue, sat in council for more than
tout hours. At Us conclusion the
orders for the advance were sent to
s- the brigade headquarters by messen
gers 'in automobiles.
The Unit brigade, constituting the
right wing of the Blue Army, reach
ed Bridgewater shortly before seven
o'clock. - Brigadier General Embury

TRIED TO EXTERMINATE
HIS WHOLE FAMILY
. (By Leased Wire to The Times)
Chicago, Aug. 16 in an effort to ex
terminate his entire family today Gus-
tave Henng, Sr.. 54 years old, 2188
North Francisco ave., shot and killed
his wife, Mrs. Louisa Hering, wounded
hla son. Gustave Hering, probably fa
tally, and then fired a shot into his
own brain that ended his life instantly,
The strange domestic tragedy has as
yet revealed no motive but the police
after working for a . short time de
clared that a family secret might ex
plain Hering's act.
That there were not four victims in
stead of three was due to the heroism
of Mrs. Hering who with her own body
shielded her daughter Margaret to
save her from death.
Twice Hering pointed the revolver
at his daughter and each time tne
mother leaped In front of the young
woman.
The police today declared that Hering
had made other attempts to kill his
family.
A year ago when the first attempt
was made, Hering was arrested. Since
then the family has lived In constant
terror.

of Methodists while speaking at the

Also Oppose the System.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, Aug. 16 The offic
ials of the postoffice department are
hopeful that congress roext winter
will pass one of the several bills now
pending before the house committee
on postofnce and post roads to estab
lish a parcels post. The demand for
the parcels post comes principally
from patrons of rural free delivery
and it would be of most benefit to
rural population and small towns.
The wide publicity given the par
cels post proposition has resulted in
thousands of letters of indorsement,
from all sections of the country, to
the postmaster-general urging him to
press the importance of this matter
on congress. During the special ses
sion recently ended there was hardly
a member In the house but who re
re
ICt-'
Ive
ceived petitions by -hundreds- from
constituents asking for the enact
ment of legislation that would give
them the benefit of a parcels post,
There was also numerous petitions
protesting against such legislation
These petitions, came mostly from the
small country' merchants who allege
that the creation of a parcels post
will mean bankruptcy for many of
them, as it would give a monopoly to
the large department stores of the cit
ies. The small merchant is backed
up in his opposition to the parcels
post by the express companies
The latter are bitterly opposed to
It. It will be recalled that former
Senator Piatt, of New York, several
years ago opposed the enlargement
of" the postal service in this direction,
and it is believed that but for his op
position initial legislation might have
been had at that time.
Statistics, gathered by the post-
office department since the establish
ment of free rural delivery, show a
rapid progress and growth of the sec
tlon immediately after the lntroduc
tion of that system and hence it fol
lows that the parcels post would un
questionably add to the attractive
ness of suburban life, thus helping
to relieve the congestion of the cities.
Former Postmaster-general Meyer
was an advocate of a parcels post, as
was former Postmaster-General Wan
amaker. It may be said that the hit
ter la the father of the suggestion to
establish a parcels post.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock Is
favorably inclined to the proposition
and it was intimated at the depart
ment today that he will have some
very interesting data in his annual
report on the subject.
The assertion is made that the
United States should keep at the head
of the procession, and to stay there
It is essential that Uncle Sam's post-
office should afford the same facili
ties to his people that the postofftces
In other countries "give their people.
Nearly every civilized country has a
parcels post of some kind. Another
point made by the postoffice officials
is that a. parcels post would not only
be Belf-sustaining, but would yield a
handsome revenue, which would ma
terially cut down the deficiency that
has marked the receipts of the' post-
office for many years. These argu
ments, it Is believed, will have weight
with congress and do very much to
ward securing favorable consideration
of the several measures for a parcels
post at the next session.
Friends of the parcels post speak
with confidence, of effective legisla
tion next winter. They claim that
President Taft is favorable to the
plan because the majority of the peo
ple of the country want It; and be
cause it will afford a cheap method
for the transmission through ithe
mails of small parcels for which they
now have to pay, express companies
an exorbitant rate.
