The service will be without pay, | ut the enlisted men will be furnished | heir meals. The numbers who go must | be divided equally between deck and engincering forces, and 25 per cent must be petty officers. No definite in- formation has been received as to whether officers will be permitted to make this cruise. However, the number would be small, as destroyers do not carry many officers. Officers must pay their mess bills. It also was pointed out that no en- listed men in the radio, yeoman, store- keeper or pharmacist ratings will be allowed to take advantage of this| ise. It wes said that it will be an | t opr ity for mcmbers ot rve to obiain some valuable | aboard a ship of the active nd especially in view cof the fact nnual cruises wer> not held nis year owing to the necessity of cut- ting governmental expenses. When the vess ves here it wiil be the first op y that the local | reservists will have had to drill aboard a ship since the departure of the de- stroyer Hamilton of the Atlantic Train- ing Squadron for the West Coast. If the weather permits, it is expected that the local reservists will take full ad- vantage of the stay of the ship here. It will give the officers and men full op- portunity to refresh themselves on drills aboard a ship, and aid them ma- terially in getting ready for the an-| nual destroyer cruises which are ex- pected to be held next Summer. The new hoat which is being fitted out for the use of the local naval re- servists at the Norfolk Navy Yard will be completed in March, it was learned last week, and is expected to arrive here in plenty of time for the Spring and Summer training. It will replace the 40- | foot cabin launch which was zent here the | latter part of the Summer, and aboard Which the officers men of the local battalion have received considerable training. There has been hardly a week during the time the vessel has been here that a group of officers and men have not taken a two-day week end voyage down the Potomac fof training purposes. While the boat is equipped with a cabin, it was said that it has no facilities for heating and is not._ satisfactory for Winter cruising. The new boat, however, will be fitted for all-weather work. It will have a heating plant, as well as a galley and other facilities for the comfort of the men who use it. It is 10 feet longer than the present vessel.

The examinctions will heve to be eonducted along with the routine drills, snd only a few men can be examined each drill night, as, owing to the va- rlety of ratings, it is necessary to have each man appear individually and be examined for duty in his special group.

These collectors since have been in Office and Treasury Departments, well as with Senators and atives, and they report that they have been sympathertically received. Th study of United States issues long has been retarded by the prohibition for- bidding the use of stamps as illustra- tions, and collectors are almost unani- mous in their hope that Mr. Dudley and Col.

It is the belief that this will materially lessen the training efficiency of the Guard, which is looked upon as & part of the first line of defense. There are only & few hours & month for training now, but the cutting of the time to half would be quite serious from a training standpoint. As the officers and men receive a day’s pay for each drill attended, it is realized that a substantial sum would be saved in the militia appropriation, when the National Guard of the whole country is considered, but it is ques- tioned whether it would be profitable to cut down the training period to such an extent as has been proposed. While the local Guard has no politi- cal connections which can be used in combating the plan, nevertheless it was pointc out that those in the States have representatives in Con- gress, and these probably will be urged to defeat the proposal. Aside f{rom cutting down the training, it has been pointed out that the militiamen in the various communities depend on their drill pay checks as & means of helping out their incomes now, and that they will not give up without a strenuous fight to have the 48-drill plan, provided in the national defense act, retained. MARINE CORPS NEWS Maj. Gen. Commandant Ben H. Fuller announces that as there are at present & number of vacancies for pilots in the commissioned grades of the aviation branch, consideration will be given to requests for aviation train- ing; from officers who are under 31 vears of age, who have completed two years of line duty and have not pre- viously failed in this specialty. Appli- cants should be reasonably certain that they can pass the rigid medical ex- amination and requests should be sub- mitted promptly. Approximately 12 aviation pilots of the corps will leave the United States by boat tomorrow for Nicaragua, where upon arrival they will tune up and man 12 of the 24 planes of the corps which have been in active use in that country and upon receipt of final orders from Brig.
