(Scrlpps News Association)
Washington. D. C. June 1 8 Arrange
ments have been made by which the offi
cers of the General Staff will attend the
mobilization manoeuvres at Mount Gretna
Pa. where the New York militia will be
encamped, and at the other six places f
concentration of the regular and the or
ganized militia. It is intended that tho
General Staff officers shall carefully ob
serve the operation of the troops and it
is under contemplation to arrange during
the encampment of the militia for a series
of lectures based on evolutions of the
troops. The detail of military action
will be left to the camp commanders, who
will have most general instructions re
garding what is expected of them as
commanding generals of the combined
manoeuvres. There will probably be
some sham battle, although this is an
element whidh is not favored except in so
far a it enable officers to get the men
in the field under conditions resembling
tho of actual warfare. It is considered
that it add toHhe interest of the partici
pant to have them imagine themselves
in battle, since any form of rivalry in
creases the personal interest in any sort
of manoeuvre.
