A complete change in the drill night schedules of the 1st Battalion, United States Naval Reserves of the District of Columbia, has been ordered by Lieut. B. M. Coleman, commander of the bat- | talion, with the approval of Lieut. W.| F. Hinckley, U. S. N., inspector-instruc- tor of the organization. There will bei separate drill nights for each division and for the headquarters and stafl. It was explained that the armory used by the Reservists is so crowded that with three fleet divisions drilling the same night matters become quite complicated. The drill hall is not large enough for the entire battalion to be drilled, with the result that the separate organizations have to be constantly changing from one drill to another, causing much confusion. Another reason, it was said, for the change was the report of the Inspection Board, which found fault with the progress made during the last year by the local organization, and it was be- | lieved that results & change in tie drill night system. The new system will be inaugurated on February 6, when the 1st Division will drill. the following night, the 3d Division on Wednesday. The headquarters and staff will take Thursday nights. ‘This meeting night will give the division commander and staff time to work on general plans without having to direct the drill work of the entire battalion. Volunteers and recruits also will drill on Wednesday nights. Physical ex- aminations of recruits will be held on Thursday nights.

It was suggested that officers of the Regular Navy be urged to visit the local units of the Reserve on their respective drill nights, witness their drills and offer suggestions to the Re- serve officers for improvement. This procedure, it was explained, is in no way intended to interfere with the duty assigned to the unit, but on account of funds the inspector-instructors lhrcekunof able to attend the drills with regularity where any travel is involved., L ‘Would Trade Bison.
