The Hamilton, which also is the ves- sel assigned to take the local Reservists on their annual sea training voyages, will remain here for about three months. during which, both the facilities of the ship and the knowledge of the regular officers and men will be made available to the Reservists for training and in- struction ses. Upon completion of her duty here, the vessel will be dis- patched to some other port in the area where a Naval Reserve unit is located and when here after its pri not return unti of the an- vessel leaves ay probably will firs t Summer he lities and the en- aboard_her as much first- t as possible in the fire rooms of the ship Comdr.

Such men 85 have not been transferred from | headquarters divisions to other divisions on March 31, 1932, will have to be transferred to volunteer status, except those men now in aviation headquar- ters divisions, who may e transferred to other divisions as ‘in excess' and so carried until June 30, 1932. Slight in- creases in quotas of all divisions will provide & few additional vacancies, but it is hardly to be expected that enough vacancies will occur to take care of all men now in headquarters divisions Many applications for commissions in the Naval Reserve are being received at e Bureau of Navigation, it was an- ed, but the department is unable t upon them due to the fact that hey are not accompanied by finger prints, and evidence of citizenship.
