SANTANDER, Spain, August 16.-- King Alfonto, known by many as “the world'’s most democratic monarch,” has completed preparations to piay his favorite role in his well stocked reper- toire—that of a proud father watching a son fulfill his ambitions The stage will be the Cantabrian Cpasts along the north of Spain during the early days of September. The prin- cipal will be Prince Juan, 17-year-old third son of the Spanish monarch, whe will be seen as an ordinery seaman when the Spanish fleet of cruisers, de- stroyers and submarines start their an- nual maneuvers. The King and a host of high naval and government officials will review the eet. Prince Juan is the first member of Spanish royalty in many wears to seek the sea as a career. His entrance into the navy’s ranks is seen by many as an added stimulus to further development of Spanish sea power, which centuries ago was the boast of the nation. King Alfonso has secretly harbored a great pleasure in his son's choice of A career. He has encouraged Juan at every opportunity and counseled him to begin his service in the humblest capacity possible. Juan passed his ex- amination to the National Naval Acad- emy on June 17 with good marks. He then went from Madrid to Santander. and spent a part of his Summer leave with the royal family. Cutting his va- cation short, he joined one of the cruis- ers anchored in the harbor and began to study the practical side of his career s a common sailor. D. C.

Both officers and men who returned last week from the second cruisc re- sult of the annual target competitions wili not be made public until the re- ports from the divisions in various parts of the country are compiled at the Navy Department. During the training period of the 1st Dixision the 2d and 3d Fleet Di- visions will continue their regular drilling at the armory, which i~ lo- cated in the Washington Navy Yard.

Scofleld, for several ears in command of the local Reserve attalion, during the period of its reor- ganintlnn subsequent to the World ‘War, is taking his annual cruise aboard the U. S. S. Wilmette, on the Greaf Lakes, it was announced at the local Reserve headquarters. Comdr. Scofield now is on indefinite active duty in the Naval Reserve Division of the Navy Department. Lieut.

Ensign Gordon Reed, volunteer engi- neer branch, has been ordered to report aboard the Tepair ship Vestal on Sep: | tember 10 for 15 days of training at ses Lieut. (junior grade) A. P. Taliaferro, jr, is taking 15 days of training duty at'the Naval Air Station at Anacostia. Lieut. A. B. Craig also has been ordered to the same station for duty. Suggestion has been made to Navy Department that a change be made in the policy now governing the assignment of rank to Merchant Marine Reserve officers. It was suggested that the second officer on ships of from 3.000 to 10,000 tons be assigned the rank of lieutenant. It was pointed out that the present policy governing the assign- ment of rank to the officers appoin: in the Merchant Marine Reserve ha the main, proven satisfactory. Ii was said that no change will be made in this policy at this time. The quaifi- cation of Marine Reserve officers for service on their own vessels when com- missioned by the Navy in the event of war developed the opinion that officers of this branch of the Reserve should be encouraged to take training duty without pay; they should be encoura to inspect naval vessels and materi and associate with naval personnel; schools should be established on shore; correspondence courses should be in- augurated in such subjects as naval customs and regulation, military law, ordnance and navigation, and Regular officers should be detailed as instructors on vessels of the merchant marine, and that this practice should be welcomed by the owners. The Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department indicated that it would like- to encourage Merchant Ma- rine Naval Reserve officers to take training duty without pay whenever it is practicable to accommodate them on vessels of the fleet. It expressed regret that funds were not ~available to give them training duty wit™ yay. the , in
