on & scale never ) sami Armory drill training before known by the officers and men of the 1st. Battalion, United States Naval Reserves, of the District of Co- lumbia, was started this week under the direction of Lieut. Samuel W. Stein- metz, commander. The ofganization, | with the annual crulsing season com- | plete, has started preparations for the next armory drill inspection, in the , before a board of Feguler naval s, at which time it is hoped to outfit s step nearer the top. The new feature of the present drill schedule consists in preparation for the execution of a battle problem for the Board of Inspection. Heretofore -the | inspection ~has consisted largely of emergency drills, infantry dnil and other routine featurss, but the battle problem brings in a new and interest- ing feature to the work and one which | will require considerable preparation of materiel as well as personnel. The battalion will be put to a real test because of the fact that it does ot have a ship, and complete prepara- tions will have to be made in the e manner as the training courses for higher rating in the Navy. Navy enlisted men may thus merchant officers’ licenses before harge from the service, and upon expiration of en- listment transfer to the merchant serv- ice with the knowl that, failing to remain employed in merchant fleet, they may re-enlist in the Navy with their former rating. ‘The Buresu of Navigation announced that it has been its practice to attach to the record of each officer completing- the bureau's correspondence course in navigation a certificate of satisfactory completion, reg.rfl\eu of the marks made by the individual officer. The prelimi~ nary purpose of the course, it was ex- plained, is to be educational, rather to serve as an examination or test of the officer's qualifications, and the bureau will furnish the course to all officers who apply, Tegardless of the marks . However, it was ndded, in jus- tice to those officers who do make pass- ing grades, and in order to preclude the | possibility of careless, negligent work merely in order to have the certificate of armory. However, some work in this | completion on record, the bureau will direction already has been done by Chief Boatswain's Mate Slattery under the direction of Lieut. Stelnmets. A destroyer bridge has been bullt, visual signal and other communication sys- | tems established and gun training plat- | forms provided. inspaction officers nounced that after the usual drills the commanding officer will be given a simple battle problem, and they will check up in the test to ascertain just how well prepared the organization is for service in time of war without fur- ther preliminary training with the regu- lar establishment. There is a possibility, however, that the destroyer Hamilton may be here several times this year, during which the men will be taken on week end cruises and drilled, and if it is here at the time of the annual inspection, the drills may be carried out aboard her. ‘While it was indicated that tentative plans call for the basing of the Hamil- ton, destroyer of the Train Fleet as- signed to this area, at Norfoll:, there is & move said to be on foot to l.ave the vessel base in this city. In the event that this is provided, of course, the Jocal Reservists will have a vessel avail- able, except at such times as it leaves week.

It has been the practice to furnish this course to all Reserve officers who apply and also those enlisted men who, in the opinion of their comman officers, are officer material and have { the basic education to, fimlt them to complete the course. re has lately been a considerable increase in the number of enlisted men recommended, it was said, and in some cases it has be- come 8| ent that the comman officer’s investigation as to the appli- cant's mathematical education has been luced those who are beyond all doubt quali- fied to take the course and who are ac- tually under training for a commission.
