The sons are in streamlined, mechanized units. They are armed with the Garand rifle, the best in the world. They are supported by fighter and bombing planes that make the old Jenny's and D'Havillands of the last war look like box kites. On Aug. 11, troops began breaking

11 ARRESTED BY LIQUOR RAIDERS

Two Facing Charges of Operating Bootleg Spots Here.

A man and a woman ‘charged with operating bootleg establishments were arrested last night in raids by County Prosecutor Sherwood Blue's staff and State Excise Police. The raiders seized beer and whisky in the rear of a poolroom at

$| Ketcham and 10th Sts. They ar-

rested Martin Brezigar, 50, on a

EB charge of violating the 1935 Bever-

age Act. In the second raid, the squad visited an establishment at 639 S. Delaware St. where beer was alleged to have been found. Mr. Blue saith the place was operated by Bess Grippich who also was charged with 1935 Beverage ‘Act violation. State Excise officers made “buys”

‘| at both establishments according to :| Mr. Blue.

Both operators were placed under

slings in the court of Speedway Mag“oiilistrate Edward W. McElfresh this

Buffalo, N. It was recently dedi-

camp. From Kansas to Louisiana and from New Mexico to Georgia, they started moving toward the “battleground.” There, under conditions as nearly duplicating actual battle as possible, the Army will find out just what progress has been made toward turning citizens into soldiers equipped to fight. War In 3 Weeks

For two weeks, beginning today, the two armies engage in corps maneuvers and exercises. A week later will come what the Army terms its GHQ phase of maneuvers, when the two armies come together with holds barred and blank shells instead of ball ammunition the only distinction between maneuvers and war. The Army, in its effort to afford realism to the games has provided what it terms a politico-economic background for the “war.” “War conditions that maneuvers simulate,” the Second Army declared, “arise out of tensions caused by political and economic disturbances between countries and often arise as well out of the settlements of past wars. “Therefore we have created the two states of Almat and Kotmk. We

have set up a past condition, a pre-j...

vious war between those states that led to a settlement distinctly injurious to the welfare and prosperity of Kotmk. We have set up a perfectly natural outcome of a war that resulted in loss of territory, loss of great resources, and loss of control of a strategic and economically important waterway . . . this is no new condition but one that has had its repeated parallels in Europe.” Like Last Peace

The background that the Army set up is a very close parallel to the

War and the circumstances that led to the present European conflict. Almat—a name made up of the first letters of the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee—was the vic-

war with Kotmk—Kansas,

vious S Texas, Missouri and

Oklahoma, Kentucky. Almat took over Louisiana and Arkansas from Kotmk as part of the peace treaty that ended the previous war and controlled the use by Kotmk of the Mississippi River. This led to increasing dissension between the two countries. Kotmk began building a huge military force (after the manner of Germany). Almat let its defenses lag while it

As of today, hostilities are about to break out. “On Aug. 18 the Almatian press,” the Army said, “reported that three Kotmk planes had been sighted several miles inside the Almatian frontier in the vicinity of Ft. Smith in the province of Arkansas . . . press reports warned that heavy troop concentrations were known to exist in the vicinity

enormous troop concentrations had been reported west of Beaumont,

“Troop trains and motor transport columns caused great confusion! on the railroads and highways as a large troop movement appeared to be underway toward Southern Arkansas. The confusion envisioned in the Armmy’s description of the events leading up to the Almat-Kotmk war was no greater than that actually caused by the concentration of troops for the maneuvers. Civilians found highways choked with mechanized equipment, taverns were crowded with soldiers at night, and one instance was reported in Arkansas of white citizens engaging in a melee with Negro troops
