While the building is entirely un- suitable for armory purposes, because of the cut up condition of the rooms, vet the Guard officials will try o make the most of the situation until such a time as Congress sees fit to provide it with quarters in keeping with its standing in military history of the country as the model guard. There is no space in the building for a drill hall, and the troops during fair weather will efther have to use the streets, or get permission to use the nearby playground, after making provision for fllumination with flood lights. The Guard officials also have in mind the possiblity of securing per- mission for the troops to use the Y. M. C. A. auditorfum in the Unton Station possibly during the Winter and on nights when it will be impracticable to drill the troops outside. The Guard expects to have all of its property out of the armory before June 30, but it will take some time to get unpacked and settled down in the new armory. Officers and men of the separate units have been engaged for some days in packing and marking their equipment to permit of easy re- moval, and when in the old building will come the necessity of unpacking jand storing the property so as to be quickly avallable for issue. Some provision must also be made for the storage of motor equipment of the Guard, and officials are looking for a nearby garage. There are some redeeming features in the old hotel bullding which the troops have never enjoyed in any rented building which they have occu- pied during their long history. There will be plenty of shower baths with hot water at all times, as the building 15 supplied with heat and hot water from the central heating plant of the plaza hotel system, and this will be avallable at all times. Lieut. Col. Peyton G. Nevitt, adju- tant general's department, in charge of the moving, said that he expects to move at least on battalion a day or its equivalent, beginning Monday morn- ing. The contracts for the moving already have been let | Another feature of the new armory | will be a number of company recrea- |tion or lounging rooms, where the men may spend their time when they are off from drills. The brigade and division headquar- ters offices will be on the first floor. The recreation rooms will be on the first floor also. Maj. W. W. Burns, commanding the 260th Coast Artillery, announced that his organization will begin its regular week end trips to Fort Wash- ington, Md., for drilling with the big coast guard guns there on Sundays, shortly after July 1. In connection with this training, Maj. Burns pointed out that if the fort s turned over to the District as a part | ot its park system that efforts would be made to keep one of the coast guns in place <o that the Guard might use it for drill purposes, and also that at least one of the barrack buildings be kept in place for National Guard use. The field training schedule for the Headquarters _ Company, Special Troops, 29th Division, Lieut. Daniel Boone Lioyd, commanding, has been approved by Corps Area headquarters at Baltimore, Md. This command is to go to Virginla Beach, Va., from Au- gust 15 to 29, at which time there will also be in camp the 29th Division headquarters, headed by Maj. Gen. | Anton Stephan, and the 29th Military | Police Company, commanded by Capt. | Raymond M.

He points out that at the present time the headquarters detach- ment of the 29th Division staff is in course of organization, and the inen belng selected for this unit are of the highest type obtainable. These men will be sp lists in every sense and will_act as office assistants for the heads of the various staff branches represonted on the division staff—that 1s, adjutant general, quartermaster, signal, ete.

' The original dates set for the four- day camp of instruction for the offi- cers of the 121st Regiment of Engi- neers at Fort Humphreys, Va., has been ordered changed to July 14 to 17, inclusive. It was at first planned to send them to camp from June 28 to July 1, but word came from the Militla Bureau of the War Department that this would not be possible, because of the lack of funds, and it was found necessary to wait until the new ap- propriations become available. The officers will take an intensive period of fleld training and acquaint themselves with the camp and the lay of the land, so that they may settle down quickly to the field training schedule when the entire regiment goes there.

Naval Regerves. In an effort to build up the officer personnel of the Naval Reserves, con- siderably depleted since the war, the Navy Department now is working out plans and details for the establish- ment of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps and for the establish- ment of units at six colleges to be designated later. The primary ob- Ject 1s gald to be to afford systematic instruction and training to qualify students for appointment as ensigns in the Naval Reserve. According to the present tentative plans, the courses of instruction will be open to members of the freshman classes in the Autumn and will continue throughout the four years of under. graduate work. The naval subject covered will be credited toward the university degres The four-year course will be divided into two parts, basic and advanced. The basic course will continue through the first two vears' work and will be open only to the fresh- man and eophomore classes. The advance courses will embrace the final two vears’ work, and will be open only to students that have' passed the basic course and that are juniors or seniors in the college or enginee: ing_schools, The law provides for a total of 1,200 students and establishment of the Naval Reserve units in six differ- ent colleges. This would apportion approximately 200 students to each college; and, since the course is for four vears, timre will be about 15 students in each clas: The appropriation available for ] establishment of these units is only $40,000. Tt fs thought, however, that with this amount something can be done toward producing a nucleys of a specially trained reserve personnel that will be available in times'of emergency. The only institution that has finally been selected for establishment of one of these Naval Reserve units 18 George School of Technology at At- lanta, to which Comdr. John "J. London already has been assigned. It was reported that he will have Lieut. mdr. Hamilton Harlow as his assistant. It was further re- ported that Comdr. Arthur H. Rice d James P. Olding will be assigned to other units. Complaint has been found at the department with the failure of certain naval reserve units to submit their quarterly drill schedules to the de- partment. A uniform procedure has been outlined for submitting sched- ules for each quarter. To date, it Wi said, more than 70 divisions of the fleet naval reserve have failed to fur- nish the Bureau of Navigation or the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts with the schedules of drills for the current quarter. Many other divisions, it was added, have furnished incomplete schedules. It is absolutely necessary that these schedules be furnished the department prior to the end of the current quarter in order that the drill dates appearing on the pay vouchers may be compared with those on the schedules. The Bureau of Navigation is urging reserve com- manders to comply with these in- structions without delay. Instructions have recently been is- sued by the Bureau of Navigation which prescribe the numbers of en- listed men who may be carried in the different ratings in the reserve aviation divisions. The department hopes each year to gradually increass the district quotas of men for avi tion duties until approximately three- quarters of the men required to fill the prescribed complements can be carried in the fleet reserve. The re- matning men, being principally sea- men, cooks, etc., can be quickly re- cruited upon mobilization or main- tained in the volunteer reserve. In explanation the bureau cites the fol- lowing example: Thus, suppose the authorized quota for F-t men for aviation dutles in the elghth naval district 18 20. The instructions require them to man the third division of the VT-31 squadron. Using the percents ages established, it will be seen that three men can be carried in the first pay grade, six in the second, six in the third and five in the fourth. In naval districts to which more than a single division is assigned it is nec- essary for the commandant to pro rate his total quota of F-1 men for aviation duties among the various divisions in accordance with their full complement strength. Thus the ninth district has assigned’ to it VS-§ squadron and VT-31, less division Suppose the F-1 (aviation) quota is 60 men for the district. Since 138 men will be required to man VS-6 and 100 men to man VT-31, then 35 of the authorized 60 men should be assigned to VS-6 squadron and 25 men to VT-31. in turn must be pro rated to the divisions of each squadron in a similar manner and then divided into pay grades by using the assigned percentages. The dis- trict quotas of F-1 men for aviation duties will be increased July 1, 1926, it was announced.
