2w BYRD RAPS FOES IN GOVERNOR RAGE Virginia Candidate Charges Circulars Unjustly Attack His Senate Record. pecial Dispateh to The Star RICHMOND, Va., July 11.—Three weeks remain in which candidates for State offices may appeal to voters. Right now there are just twe real con- tests—that for governor and that for attorney general Unsigned circulars are being sent about Senator Byrd charging that his enemies are not fighting in the open.

What the rural, independ. ent vote will do is a disconcerting problem. In some sections the people are still rankling over the matter of bonds for roads, and in others the mat- ter of rec State employes in number and adjustment of the tax problem are receiving attention and consideration. The bond question is considered settled in the major portion of the State, but reduction of expenses and elimination of State employes and n of work is being demand- ng with abolition of some of the tments and the saving of many hundreds of thousands of dollars. ate Deficit Growing. fact that there is a deficit in the State treasury of aprpoximately $2,500,000 is one that has begun to get home to the people. That the State is living beyond its ncome is charged. That taxes cannot be increased is asserted, and the funds for the deficit, in addition to fixed charges, will have to be met. Whether this is to be done by increasing taxes or by reducing the number of State employes and abolition of departments is for the voters to say when they se lect their candidates for the Legisla- ture and State officers.

As soon as the formal approval is re- ceived through the headquarters of the Third Corps Area at Baltimore, Md., formal bids will be asked for the transportation of the Engineers and Military Police Company, as the Coast Artlllery will proceed by truck and automobile over the road. While formal bids will be sought trom both the railroads and steamsh lines, it is the hope of the officers a men that it will be found possible to dispatch them to the camp by boat, landing at Norfolk and then proceed. ing by train to the camp. about six hours by train and twelve by boat. If it Is possible to send them by boat, it will involve the payment of additional pay for one day for the officers and men, it was said, and this ter will be taken in consideration in awarding the contract. Some consideration was given early in the Summer to the proposition of having a regular Army transport to take the troops to Norfolk, but it is not believed that this will be feasible, 4s no transports are at present avalil able in the Chesapeake Bay. Company F, 121st Engineers, had a very successtul recruiting party last Tuesday night, following the regular drill, according to Capt. Thomas S Lane. The following men enlisted in this unit: Earl R. Asby, John J. Wal- ker, Edward L. Thorpe, Edward P. Travers, Howard P. Boyce, James E Clements, Raymond C. Schaffer, CIif ton J. McCullar and Francis Manion, Herman Lavenroth re-enlisted. These enlistments bring the company to the | full maintenance strength, and Capt. Lane is urging all of the members to attend every drill between now and the beginning of the camp period, The music for the party was fur- nished by Johnny Walker and Johnny Conroy. Those who had charge of the arrangements were Lieut. Hamil- ton, Staff Sergt. Potter and Mess Sergt. Green. All members of Company F have been urged by Capt. Lane to have the blue and gray insignia of the 26th Division on their uniform before camp. An _examination for non-commis- sloned officers of Company F, 121st Engineers, will be held July 28, Capt. Lane announced. Candidates will be examined in infantry drill and the elements of military engineering. Clarence D. Newkirk enlisted in Company B, 121st Engineers: William B. Shanahan, Chancey B. Stewart and Edson L. Moshing in Company D, and | Frederick Willlam Ribnitzki, George | A. Walker and P. F. Biggins, in the Medical Detachment of the 121st En gineers. Naval Reserve. Fear of West Indian hurricanes is believed at the Navy Department here to have been responsible for the Eagle No. with naval reservists of the District of Columbia aboard, cutting _short her cruise in West Indian Waters and returning to the Americam coast. Commander John A. Schofield, on regular duty at the Navy Department, is in command of the ship. When the vessel left here her itin erary called for her to visit the ports of Havana, Cuba; ports on the Island Hait; San Juan, Porto Rico and Virgin Islands. The men were promised a long cruise in the West Indies. short at Havana, and naval orders show the vessel back on the Ameri can coast making various ports. Even dispatches recelved from the after her arrival at Havana ind that she would leave there for ¢ Hatfen, in carrying out the cruise itinerar | The vessel is on a 30-day cruise. | what promised to be the longest for- rign cruise ever taken by the ship with local reservists, left Havana for Fla, on July 3 and arrived latter port on Independence she remained there until Wed when she left for Jackson ville where it will remain for several <, leaving there probably the firs | part of this week Although it was sald at the Nav Department that the commanding of- ficer had been given authority to change the itinerary, no communica tion had been received to indicate | the reason for the change after reach ing Havana. Review of the new regulations for the Naval Reserve by local officers di closes that the division officers have had placed on them the full responsi bility of maintaining their commands up to the maximum in enl the Reserve. It was pointed out that the new regulations provide that it division fails in maintaining its effi- ciency during a period of a year its officer personnel will be wiped out, and thus the Navy will lose more officers they would need in time of war, especfally in view cuts made In the regular establish- ment. In fact, there are a number of officers now in the local reserve without assignments, and who will be forced to lose their commissions on 1 next or go to the “paper” . officlally known as class 6. This class is supposed to be made up of officers who could not be used at sea aboard combatant ships in time of war, yet these same officers, for the most part, won their promotions from their records made on sea as- signments during the last war. This, it was pointed out by those who are following the reorganization closely, is another consistent method of bringing about a_complete wreck- ing of the Reserve of the Navy, while the Army and National Guard are in creasing their forces. In the Na- tional Guard the company efficiency is not on a yearly basis, but a weekl) drill basis. If a company does not have a designated percentage of at- tendance on each drill night, the offi- cers do not lose their commissions, but they are merely denied their pay for that drill. Many of the things being done at the Navy Department in connection with the Reserve organization are without any basis of reasoning, so far as it can be found in conference with officers. They just simply make an assignment, and then cannot give any valid reason for it. For instance, some effort was made to find out why the local Reserve divislons were as- signed to destroyers on the west coast instead of destroyers out of commission at Philadelphia. Not one officer in the department could be found by the office of naval informa- tion who could give any explanation as to why this was done. The reorganization, according to those in close touch with it, seems to have put the Reserve, greatly need- ed in time of war, in a more serious predicament than it has ever been at any time before. Many of the chief petty officers of the Reserve, many of them men who came directly from the Regular Navy, and men who fur- nish the backbone of the service, are leaving it becapse of dissatisfaction, and the naval districts are now faced with thed)oulhllfly of recruiting green men each year for the cruises, spend- ing money on them, and losing their services, for the experience in the past has been that such men only come in for the cruises and have lit- tle interest in the permanent training. The following statement on the re- serve reorganization was issued by the Navy Department this week: “The regulations for the new Naval Reserve, created by the act of Feb- ruary 28, 1925, effective July 1, 1925, were signed by the Secretary of the Navy on June 12, 1925.
