The Hospital Bed Fund Association OF i D. C. NAVAL RESERVE The construction and operation of a modern torpedo was explained members of the United States Naval Reserve of this district in a lecture at drill last Monday night by Lieut. Comdr. Finney Rascom Smith, com- manding the local battalion. His ad- dress was the beginning of a series which he and other officers will give to the Reservists to acquaint them with the methods of construction and operation of modern war machinery used by the Na: The Naval Reserve Officers’ Associ- ation met Thursday night to discuss the instructions it will give to its representatives at the annual conven- tion of the Naval Reserve Officers’ As- sociation of the District of Columbia which is to meet here January 31. Lieut. Harry J. Nichols, executive of i of the local battalion, is the di rector and delegate, while Lieut. (Junior grade) Daisley is the alternate. It is probable that one of the mat- ters that will be brought up will be the possibility of promotions of en listed men to commissions in the Re. serve. At the present time there is no opportunity and the local Reserve officers say that they have officer ma terial which should be recognized, and they consider it the function of the Reserve to so train the enlisted per- sonnel that they may become excelient officer material. They say they have several fine examples of young men of the city who have entered the Re- serve and after five vears of training have made excellent naval material and would make good oficer material Unless something is done to provide promotion for these men there is a fear that they will be lost to the service. Some other important matters con- cerning personnel will be brought up by the local officers, particularly tha battalion heads, who have given some years of study to the question and are qualified to talk from experience. It is the hope that the national conven- tion will back them in their move to get the best material recognized. The Engineer gangs of the several divisions of the local battallon are the only ones now receiving instruction on the U. S. destroyer Allen, their training ship, docked at the Washing- ton Navy Yard. Lieut. Lockhart, chief engineer, after completing a theoreti- cal course in engineering in armory lectures, now instituted some practical work. Each drill night he takes the engineers into the engine room of the destroyer and shows them now to handle the varied machinery of which a destro: is made. The deck gangs of the division are being confined to armory instruction at this period, but they, too, will be taken aboard the Allen and familiar- ized with the ship, so that when the organizations go out on their annual crulses they will know practically all of the details of their mutitudinous duties. The armory work now con- sists of Infantry, signal and gun drills. Lieut. Dunbar, U. 8. N., executive officer of the Allen, lectured to the members Monday night on the details of long-range battle practice for de- stroyers. Heretofore on the annual cruises the Reservists have not been given battle practice, but it is the hope this year that the department will authorize the Reservists to en- gage in battle practice, and it is be- lieved that the post-war Reserve now is ready for this feature of naval training. Fireman (first-class) Christlan S. Lantz and Seaman (second class) John Edward Stone have been ordered to duty as shipkeepers aboard the U. S. destroyer Allen. Lieut. Alan Jefferies Chenery, 3726 N stree has been commissioned in the Naval Reserve as a - lleutenant, while Orrin J. Whitney, 6446 Georgia enue northwest, has been commis- sioned an ensign. Chief Boatswain Willis B. Hazleton, formerly attached to the local Re- now is in Constantinople, In order to put in the number of drills required by the Navy Depart ment, the local organization is hold- ing drills Monday and Thursday nights. —_— per was later served at a cafe.
