Replogle has requested | a transfer from the 3d Fleet Division | | to the volunteers on account of his | private employment preventing his | regular attendance at the weekly | drills. The battalion commander has | recommended that Lieut. (J. @.) She | ping stone to supreme command of | Eugene C. Carusi, now in the volun- | teers, be transferred to the division | to fill the vacancy. Lieut. (J. G.) George D. Sullivan, | commanding the 3d Fleet Division, also has been compelled to ask for a transfer to the volunteers because of | his private employment, which is said to keep him out of the city much of the time. The battalion commander has rec- ommended that Lieut. (J. G.) F. S. | Kirk, executive officer of the division, | be detailed to assume command. | Lieut. Carusi is to fill the vacancy as | executive officer of this division. | It was said at the armory that | | Lieut. Sullivan has displayed unusual | energy, industry and loyalty. The hope was expressed that as soon as possible Lieut. Sullivan would return to the command of the division. | = | Lieut. J. D. Sullivan, division com- mander, has just completed a com- | prehensive plan of class room in- struction for the battalion, which will be in operation by the time the In- spection Board arrives. The Navy | Department stresses this plan of in- struction for the weekly drill periods of the Reservists. Under the program which has been | completed each enlisted man will be | | required to go through the whole | course. There is a recruit class, to | which will be assigned all new men | enlisted in the battalion, where they will be given the rudiments of naval training: the class for apprentice sea- | men, a primary deck class and a pri- | mary engineer class. There also will be advanced classes in deck and en- gineering. Lieut. Sullivan explained that, un- der the new system, there will be nc | by-passing of any of the class room | instruction; that every man must g0 through the full course before he is | eligible for promotion. The advanced | classes are primarily for the training | of men for ratings in the various specialist groups. | | A certain period will be assigned o | each drill night for class room m. | spection. | | The enlisted men of the battalion | will give a dance on the night of | April 12, which will be subsequent to | the annual inspection. The music | will be furnished by the Navy orches- | tra. Lieut. Sullivan says that these | dances for the enlisted men are to be | | a regular feature. | It is planned to organize one or | more base ball teams in the divi- | sions for the purpose of playing | games with both military and civilian | units throughout the city.

Previous orders had directed Comdr. Benson to the battleship Squadron as gunnery officer. orders have been revoked. There was some disappointment when the new orders arrived for Comdr.

Thomas, 2d Fleet Division, has been ordered promoted from seaman, second to first class. | Lieut. (J. G) W. S. Brown has been assigned to duty with the 2d Fleet Division to fill a vacancy. ‘Whether there will be opportunity for Volunteer Reserve officers to par- ticipate in the battleship training cruises this year is uncertain at this time. It was'indicated that no offi- cial instructions have been received from the Navy Department regard- ing such cruising, but ft was indi- cated that It depended on several matters. It was pointed out that the Wyo- ming, while having the three divisions of the local battalion aboard, would also have aboard for training seven other fleet divisions from other parts of the coun including three from | over by the councilor. two years has been | been ordered to sea to command the | Wyoming of the Atlantic Training | These | | and dance in Almas Temple April 27.
