,' ' D. C. Naval Reserve The opportunity to become a com- missioned officer in the regular Nav: by obtaining an pointment to the | United States Naval Academy at An- napolis, Md., is being offered to enlist~ ed members of the United States Naval Reserve for the District of Columbia. reserve throughout the coun- as explained that in previous rs all of the vacancies have not n filled, and there is a place for every man who successfully passes the competitive examination. v, One appointment was made from the | Jocal battalion last year, and there is & hope that more of the men will| succeed in passing the tests this year. | The battalion headquarters already has received an application to take the | examination from William A. Kengla, | 3625 Sixteenth street, a seaman, sec- ond class, attached to the Third Fleet Division. During the year two enlisted | men from other reserve divisions came to Washington for the purpose of en- | tering a preparatory school here to prepare for the examinations, and dur- | ing their work here they were attached to the local organization, as the law rovides that they must be active mem- | bt of the fleet reserve. They are| Harry S. Atherton of Springfield, Mass., | ® seaman, second class, attached to the | -~Third Fle Division, d Henry S. Rupp of Long Beach, f., & seama! second class, attached to the First! Flest Division. Their address is given | as_1444 Rhode Island avenue. | s It was said at the battalion head- | quarters that there probably will be other applicents for the examinations, | and the officials are anxious that as| many as possible try for the appoint- | ments, the Navy Department early in the year requested naval district commandants to make special efforts to attract qualified young men in the reserve to the academy, with a view to | getting all of the 25 appointments filled. All applications to take the examina- tion must be in the hands of the local | reserve officials before December 17| next, it was announced, as they have to be on file at the Navy Department |} prior to January. 15, next year. It| was also explained that all of the | applicants h: to undergo a thorough | preliminary physical examination, prior | to sending the applications to the Navy | Department, and that these must be taken before the end of the current calendar vear, as after the first of | January the m 1 officers attached to the local reserv Dt busy con- ducting the annual physical examin tions of the officers attached to the| eet reserve divisions here. m M. Cloukey, reserve | where he will remain on active traini duty until June 30, 1929, it was an- nounced at battalion headquart: | Lieut. Comdr. F. P. Guthrie and Lieut. (junior grade) Walther A. Parks, both members of the communications reserve, have been ordered discharged by reasons of the expiration of their enrollments. It was explained that these officers have never applied to be | formally transferred to the newly or- ed reserve force, and that ilere- | they are being discharged. Guthrie is a radio engineer. It was announced at District reserve | . headquarters here that examinatlion wpapers have been received from the Navy Department for Ensign Ralph H. Hudson, for promotion to the rank of lieutenant, junior grade. No date has as yet been set for the examination, which will be given aboard the U. 8. destroyer Abel P. Upshur, at the local navy yard, trafjning ship of the local battalion. Lieut, Comdr. Harry J. Nich ing schedule had been starte 8 est by the local organization. The elaborate system of schools inaugurated last year under the direction of lieut. Comdr. Finney Bascom Smith, com- mander of the lpcal battalion, has again been started this year, it was said, znd all of the members of the various di- visions have been divided into classes according to their proficiency. The tem has been arranged so that a an who passes one subject does not ever have to take it again, but is Lept in 8 continuous line of progress. This method, it was pointed out, Leeps up the interest- of men, and prevants the from beco! moncto- nous. It serves to keep up the |} attendance, and it is believed that the fallure 1o establish the schools earlier in the drill year has been responsible to some extent to the falling off in at- tendance, which has been experienced. ‘The 75 enlisted men who have been up for examination for promotion to the next higher rating in their respec tive branches are. being passed before the examining board as rapidly as pos- sible, but, on the second part of a two- part examination, it was sald that| each man has to be examined sepa- rately, and this consumes considerable wime. The first part of the examination ‘was taken at one time hly( the entire goup in a written test. However, the ard expects to complete its work within a short time, and those who suocessfully pass. will be certified to the Navy Department for their promotions.
