BATTLESHIP cruise appears to be in store for the officers anc men of the 1st Battalion, United States Naval Reserves in the District of Columbia, when they take their annual sea- | training duty this Summer. It was learned that the Navy Department has made tentative plans to use two ships of the Atlantic Training Squad- ron, the Wyoming and Arkansas, for the purpose of widening the experi- ence of some of the Naval Reservists. Ever since the World War the Re- servists in this area have been making their cruises aboard destroyers, espe- cially in view of the fact that the various divisions have been designated as the crews of destroyers. However, in the event of & mational emergency which might involve an expansion of the fleet it probably would be neces- sary to transfer the men from de- stroyers to larger ships. The present movement to give them battleship training is believed to be a step to educate them into service aboard these vessels so that they would be thoroughly indoctrinated should be necessary to call them into active service. Furthermore, service on battleships is said to be quite different from that on destroyers. On the latter boats they are not as strict in uniform and other requirements as they are on the bigger ships. They would learn the intricate fire control systems and all about the big guns which are on battleships, something that many of them have never seen before. How- ever, in the organization there are a certain number of the officers and enlisted men who have taken special cruises aboard battleships in addi- tion to the regular cruises. The Navy Department at various times provides opportunities for officers and men of the Reserve to take training cruises on these vessels without pay. the big ships they have not had it. There are some of the officers, how- ever, who are veterans of the World War, who have had this duty, but they now are in the minority. Tne tentative plan for the training lof the local Reservists this Summer calls for the battleship Wyoming to come to Annapolis. At that point she will be boarded by the three fleet divi- stons from Washington, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Fleet Divisions from Balti- more and the 4th Fleet Division of Richmond. According to the present schedule the officers and men will board the ship on September 7, re- | maining aboard for training until September 20. These dates are, of cqurse, subject to change later, upon recommendation of the commanding officer of the Wyoming, although it is probable that the boarding point is certain because of the desire to save overland transportation expense to and from the ship. At the time the Wyoming is taking aboard Reasrvists at Annapolis, the battleship Arkansas. also a part of the training squadron. will board eight fleet divisions of the New York Naval Reserve. The two ships are expected later to join com- pany and cruise together. It is probable that gometime during | the cruise the gun crews of the vari- ous divisions will have target practice with the secondary batteries aboard the ships, but whether the method of practice will be changed as long recommended by the Reserve has not been made public. Under the prac- tice aboard the destroyers, the Re- servists fire at a small target and any- thing within a certain distance of the target is considered a hit. The Re- serverists want to use the large tar- gets as is done in the regular estab- lishment, so that it would be neces- sary to get a direct hit on the target in order for it to count. It has been pointed out that the latter method would furnish a better system for com- Eight et Forty Salon met at the |parison between the Reserve and reg- Washington Hotel, with La Chapeau ular gunners.

Destroyer Leary, which has been here for a number of weeks for the purpose of allowing the local Reservists to train aboard her, will remain for another week, it was indicated that the local officers and men will not use her any more for drill purposes because of the neces- | sity for beginning the training for | the annual inspection. The drills and exercises incident to the annual inspection will of neces- sity be held in the crowded armory here, so it was decided by those in charge that as the time is short the men should begin to familiarize them- | selves with the equipment in the ar- mory in order to put on their very best while the inspection officers are here on April 8, the date which has been set for these annual tests. The for drills mapped out by Lieut. J. E. Sullivan, battalian commander for the current month, is designed wholly to prepare the officers and men for the coming inspection, and these will culminate in a general drill of all three divisions on the night of April 2 for the purpose of going through a rehearsal of the inspection program. At other times each of the three fleet divisions drills on a sepa- rate drill night, because of the | cramped quarters at the armory. The following enlistments were re- ported during the week: John M. Ritchey, apprentice sea- man, 1309 B street southeast, assigned to the 3d Fleet Division; John F. Beutler, apprentice seaman, C. C.
