Boston, .Aug. 13. Bostoo will be jut off from the rest of the world seven days, beginning Saturday, precisely at 1 minute past midnight, when the
city will be attacked by land and sea and an invading force of 20,000 men will be landed to test the coast defenses. That is, it will be cut off from a military standpoint if the plans joi the invaders are successful. The military power of Germany will be embodied in the invading force and the defenders of the city will typify the United States resisting the in- ' vestment by a foreign foe. This is the greatest military movement ever conceived in America in 'times of peace. It rivals on land the splendid feat of America's naval power girdling the globe. May Capture Taft.
President Taft's summer home lies
In the heart of the battlefield. While ' the armies are contending with mighty nrnwess for the strategic points be
tween Narragansett and Portland, Me., President Taft and John Hayes Ham-
the one in which he came mighty near
losing his bead, the said member be
ing saved by the intervention of the
United States, was in regard ' to the
boxer troubles, and his attitude and
miinni fripndflhin resulted in his
downfall.
Mlniater Wu is now in Peru. It is
reported that Wu will be "honored
when he returns to China, but the na
lure of this-honor is what Js causing
apprehension among his friends. It
Is pointed out as a peculiar uuog that his recall should come so soon after the downfall of his friend, Yuan
Bhai Kai.
nr. Wu has been a conspicuous, fig
nr In Washington, and his recall will
be mourned by hosts of friends. The State Department has not been offi
cially notified of the act. New Minister No Stranger.
The new Minister, Chang Yin Tang, from Aoril 1. 1898. to February 1, 1899,
was Consul General at San Francisco,
and for a short time was attached to
the Chinese Legation at Washington
some years ago.
Probablv no foreigner Is better
known in the United States than Dr
Wu. for he is a popular talker, and
his nuneent wit and bright sallies
have been heard and read with inter
est at manv places.
During hia second term in Washing
ton, which dates from March, 1908, the Minister has attracted considerable
attention by his advocacy of vegetar
ianism, which he exploited botn put-
llclv and privately. Dr. Wu believes
an adherence to a vegetable diet would prolong life, and during his
present ministry he said he intended
to live to be a hundred years old
Baron Takahira's recent recall was
due. it is said, to his failure to exne
dite the Japanese contentions about
the new treaty on lines demanded by
Japan, and to which President Taft is
not yielding. For reasons of recent
development Japan will insist on changes in the treaty, which are not
considered practicable at the State
Department.
inond will be Quietly playing golf at
the Ebscx country club, although the
chief executive is keenly interested
In the war game, having been secre
tary of war, and will look over some of
the movements in person, perhaps.
Major-general Tasker H. Bliss, general staff, U. S. A., will command the foreign forces, to be known hereafter
as the Reds, while Brig. Gen. William A. Pew of the Massachusetts militia, will defend the city and try to drive
the invaders back into the sea. Brig.
Gen. Pew's forces are the Blues.' ,i ? Carrying the smallest amount 1 of equipment ever issued to them, for seven days, the district national guardsmen 100 strong, are enroute from Washington on the army transports Sumner and McClelland. Tomorrow night the Beventh and
fourteenth regiments of infantry, the
twenty-second battalion of engineers, first battery of field artillery, squadron 'A, and companies 1 and 2 of the signal corps, all of New York state.
will leave New York City and disembark at New Bedford, which will be 'the base of supplies for the attacking -party. General Appleton is in command of the 3,000 troops representing New York. ' By Land and Sea. Boston is to be attacked by land and sea. The foreign forces will debouch east and west from New Bedford while the transports will pour their steady stream of men into the field. Sixteen army vessels will take part in the seven days' battle under the command of Captain W. J. Culick. The naval force wtll make nightly raids upon, the fortifications along the coast and the fortresses, whose office
it is to keep out the foreign soldiers. .They must keep a mighty careful twatch and have their searchlights playing upon the sea line If they want to catch the attacking vessels first. MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, commandant of the department of the east United States army, will exercise supervision over all the operations both by land and sea. Lieut Col. Adelbert Cronkhite, coast : artillery corps, the chief artillery officer of the department of the east, will be the official umpire of the naval operations and will have as his chief assistant, Major A. M. Hunter, U. & A. There will be other referees assisting these. The operations will be the most unique ever attempted because every op
portunity will be taken advantage of
to utilise the modern devices of war,
Bomb dropping will ; be tried and
wireless telegraphy on the naval flo
tilla will be tested to the limit
The attacking forces will be formidable. It is to be composed of the troops from New Jersey, New York city, the District of Columbia, and one squadron of the Tenth Regular Cavalry, and two companies of the Regular Coast Artillery. They will be landed somewhere on the southeast coast of Massachusetts. Quite naturally both sides are keeping their plans n secret '" v .": v-.

Weds Brother's Widow So She May Inherit Estate
By the means of a new piece of ap
paratus designed principally for the
olumber's use a great deal or trencn
digging may be avoided. It is called
a pipe-forcing jack, and by digging a
ditch long enough to take the Jack
and start the first length of pipe it is
possible to lay almost any length of service pipe. This means that the jack will save the user the expense
incurred In digging the trench and refilling it when laying service or pipelines. The jack is capable of driving pipe up to four-inch diameter.
and as great a length as 280 feet or 21-2-inch pipe has been forced through
the ground by it.

New York, Aug. 13. News of the marriage in Bloomfleld, N. J., July 25 last of Captain Nathan D. A.. Sawyer, of Jacksonville, Fla., and Mrs. Clara
S. Sawyer, of Belleville, N. J-, widow
of Captain Sawyer's brother, Leverett
Sawver. became known when mends
of Mrs. Sawyer learned for the first
time that her brother-in-law had in
sisted on marrying her that she might inherit his property. .
As soon as the marriage ceremony
was performed by Recorder George W. Cadmus Captain Sawyer kissed his
wife goodby and took the next train to
him to live in the north. His wife will
continue to live there the condition of his health making it inadvisable for hih to live in the north. His wife will continue to live in Belleville, her
health rendering residence in the south
unpleasant for her. She is sixty-six
years old. Her husband is slxty-eignt.
CaDtaln Sawyer served through the
civil war in a Massachusetts regiment. After the war he stayed in the south,
entering the service of a railroad by which he is still employed. He did
not marrv. Leverett married Miss
Clara Ripley. He died thirty-three vpnrs aert. His widow and their
dauehter. Miss Bertha Sawyer, contin
ued to live in Belleville, and they cor
responded regularly with Captain
Sawyer. --.
The captain wrote north several months ago that he had made several profitable Investments and that he was anxious that the widow of hie brother succeed to his estate. He suggested
that marriage would remove any possibility of doubt in this direction, and
Mrs. Sawyer agreed with him. He
came north, and he and his sister-in-
law were married. Miss Sawyer and the wife of Recorder Cadmus were the witnesses.
Friends of Mrs. Sawyer who met
Captain Sawyer in Belleville in July
thought he was there simply on a visit He and Mrs. Sawyer asked Recorder Cadmus to keep the news of the marriage to himself, and this he did until yesterday when he had to comply with
the law and make a return to the registry of vital statistics in Bloomfleld. Captain Sawyer has never been able to stay long in the north, and Mrs. Sawyer's visit to the south have been brief. Even now that they are married they have made no plans. After the marriage Captain Sawyer took the legal steps necessary to insure to his wife possession of his estate at his death. Mrs. Sawyer's health Is excellent so long as she remains in New Jersey and Captain Sawyers' health is eood so lone as he stays In Florida.
( Their friends think that each of them I will live many years.
AUDITOR WAS HERO
The county sheriff and county auditor went fishing yesterday. The clerk was left at home this time, but the regular stories have got back. The sheriffwas having poor luck. He couldn't cast far enough into the turbulent stream, so waded out farther. On and on he went casting to right and left. Then there came a splash that attracted the attention of the auditor. He looked again and saw his fellow Isaac with his head partly submerged. The delicate ears, nose and heavy hair were all that
showed. The auditor, who is constructed more nearly on the outlines of the northern pine, waded In about up to his knees and extracted the
sheriff. Poor Linus can t swim a stroke. .
IRENE FELT BADLY
Evidently Irene, the fourteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Casper
Jelly, 125 South Second street, is very
proud of the fact that she is a member of the largest family in the city. Her name was. through an error, left out of yesterday's story and the child was very much heart broken because
she was the only one not listed. It
stated in yesterday's issue that Mr.
Jelly, was an inspector in a local fac
tory, but it should have been stated that he is the assistant superintendent.
STOP MILK THEFTS
The police believe the practice of
stealing bottled milk from porches in
the east end of the city win be stop

Doty, black. He was caught with the milk in his possession by patrolman
Hirschfield this morning at about four
o'clock. Milk stealing has been prac

MURRAY BACK AGAII1
Frank "Snooks", Murray, is back In
town. Earl Huntington's return may be expected next "Snooks' tells the
police he has reformed. He was released from custody a few months ago upon his promise to leave the city and
stay away. He left but is back now
on a visit maybe.
SERVICE IS POOR
Local residents who have been in
the west attending the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition at Seattle, Wash
ington, and visiting other attractions
in the west, state that considerable difficulty is encountered in securing
berths on making the return trip.
The companies did not have near enough sleeping cars to accommodate the public and many had to make the return trip at least a part of the way.
