S. destroyer Hamil- it is said, 1s one of the ships which form a part of the newly estab- Atlantic Training Squadron, which will take care of the annual sea training of the Reservists during the Summer months. The vm;xh will hlvi no sea training duty to perform except during these periods, and it has been determined to send them to various ports for the weekly drilling of the Re- servists during the Winter months. 2Ed§REE i tion is not included in the plans made for the Hamilton. It wi sald that Baltimore still has the U. S. Eagle No. 56, which preceded the de- stroyer Upshur here as training ship. TPurthermore, it was pointed out that the Eagle was not. relieved at Baltimore a8 & part of the Navy Department’s | economy move which was responsible for the relief of the Upshur, because of the fact that the State has assumed the eost of maintenance. Regular Fed- eral Reserve funds, it was explained, ‘were used in the maintenance of the | Upshur here, and these will be saved by the transfer of the ship. Al h it is not known at the local Reserve quarters when the ship will arrive here, it was said that it is expected it will remain here about six months of the time. It is assigned to the 5th Naval Discrict. which also includes the Naval Reserve units in Norfolk and vicinity, and part of the time will go there. Despite the fact that the vessel will be here. the officers and men of the local battalion are going ahead with their plans, formulated since the depar- ture of the Upshur, to fit up the armory with nautical gear. This, it was ex- plained, will be most valuable, as on many drill. nights during the Winter the ship cannot be used because of the severe weather. | try, in the Naval Reserve, he reports, is made and it is believed that adherence to the principles on which it is found- ed will result in providing a reserve of great value to the Navy. The Fleet Naval Reserve is organized, he says, into 149 divisions, which are trained for war duty as an organization to man vessels now out of commission. Drills are held weekly and an annual training cruise of two weeks is made, usually on vessels of the Regular Navy. In addition to the fleet divisions, 31 aviation divisions were maintained dur- ing the year, located in some 13 differ- ent cities in various parts of the coun- Two changes of commissioned per- sonnel, one directly and the other in- directly affecting the National Guard | of the District of Columbia, became known last week. Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, command- ing the local militia brigade, an- nounced that Lieut. Col. Frederick H. Smith, U. 8. A, adjutant general of the local organization, will be relieved | about January 1 next by request of the chief of Coast Artillery for duty with troops. The announcement conveyed the further information that Col. Smith will be placed in command of a regiment of Coast Artillery. Col. Smith’s successor has not been made known. The law provides for | the assignment here as adjutant gen- eral of an officer of the Regular Army, who is commissicred also in the militia during the tim- that he is on the detafl. Prior to his assignment here Col. Smith was military attache at Constantinople. The other change was in the head- quarters of the Third Corps Area at Baltimore, which controls the militias not only in the District of Columbia, but in Maryland, Virginia and Penn- sylvania. ~Col. Fred R. Brown, Infan- until recently the commander of the 30th Infantry, 3d Division, at the Presidio of San Francisco, is the new In connection with the fact that some of the vesscls assigned to Naval | Reserve organizations for training did | not go into reserve, it was pointed out | that some of them were turned back | to their Reserve stations even ah.er} they had reported at the League Island | for decommissioning, as the States indicated that tfey would assume | the expense of upkeep. There are no | funds in the District which would per- mit the putting into effect of such a Ppractice. In the fitates there is a dual naval organization. The officers and men, in addition t0 being members of the Naval , also are sworn in as members of the Naval Militia. The Naval Militia organization was revived by many of the States for the purpose of getting State funds for training work. The State Militias were abolished originally wher, the Federal Naval Reserve act wen; into effect because of the provi- sion that members of the Naval Re- serve could not belong to any similar organization. However, because of the demand of the States in order to get ndditional funds, the law was changed to permit of the dual enlistments, While the Upshur when here was manned by & crew of ship keepers who were members of the Naval Reserve who accepted indefinite periods of ac- tive duty, the new ship will be manned entirely by regulars. Just what the plans will be for the Summer cruising g:tod are not known. However, it has | n the practice in the past when | ships of the active fleets were selected for cruising Naval Reservists for train- ing during the Summer to relieve a certain percentage of the regular com- plement by giving them leave and re- placing them with Naval Reserve per- sonnel. It is probable that this prac- tice will be followed in ordering the Reservists to the Hamilton for train- ing during the Summer months. Daniel M. Levy, 3105 Sixteenth street, enlisted in the 1st Fleet Division during the week as a fireman, third class. James C.

The recording of the inclusive dates during which an organization attends field encampment and other duties, while necessary, does not obviate the necessity for including such data for each individual officer, as there is no way of showing whether or not the of- ficer accompanied his organization, joined it later, or departed before the organization left camp.
