Militia for the years 1908 and 1909.
In the exercises on the Atlantic coast
last year the local Naval Battalion was
assigned to duty on three battleships OF
the United States Navy The captain OF
each of these SHIPS was instructed to re

by the Naval Militia troops Of the various
states with which he came In contact, and
the reports on the local battalion stand
out prominently for their favorable critf-

Their proficiency in drills was very
good. All have had good training and

any form of battleship drill. The condi-

Capt. Fremont's Comment.
Capt j. C. Fremont. T. S. N, COM
manding the e. S. S. Mississippi, said of
the District battalion:
Proficiency in drils-The men showed
commendable proficiency in drills, and
were always ready for duty, and cheerful
in the performance OF it. They amalga-
mated readily with the crew and swung
into their places without friction.
Condition of uniforms and equipment
Very good.
''Remarks-The officers all took a keen
interest in the work of the ship, were
present on all occasions. observed condi-
tions with great intelligence and showed
a marked aptitude for professional work.
All the officers would be a most valuable
addition to the navy in tie event of war.
In fact, the entire organization may be
said to be very valuable one, and one
which may be counted upon at the event
of war to fill creditably their regular
places in the fleet

Organized Reserve Force.

There have been so many efforts made

serves great consideration. 1t seems to
me that the country and the navy are un-
der certain misrepresentation regarding
the problem. These are:

pleted though that be;
THAT 1t should be recruited from that
source.
lone hears. for instance, Of the &c, 600
American sailors that will come down
from the great lakes. Regarding this
source. it must be shown that the men
who man the lake vessels are American,
and, second, that they are sailors. 1t Is
very questionable whether either Of those
assumptions is correct. In any case II
must be clearly kept In mind that the

may be fatal. The need is q reserve

the navy is done by very young men, the
average age of the gun pointers being
about twenty-one years, and that these
gun pointers are trained from recruits in
some few weeks. Basing conclusions then
on these facts instead Of on the hoary
tradition that our salvation lies In the

CARNATIONS are provided with naval
vessels; their armories are being equip
ped with apparatus for training: they
have made many cruises in vessels of the
navy Of several classes. eliminating this
summer 1909 in a cruise with the battle
ships Of the Atlantic fleet. It is impos-
sible to read the reports Of the command
ing officers Of the battleships on which
the Naval Militia were embarked without
realizing the value OF the force. There
is no difference Of opinion as to the INTEL
ligence, zeal and enthusiasm Of the
officers and men of the Naval Militia.
That they were unfamiliar with the life
and mechanism of a modern battleship
goes without saying. as it was their first
trip on such type. These important
facts stand out in connection with the
Naval Militia. They were all well illus
trated in the cruise on the battleships this
summer:

Legislation Recommended.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-03-14

In it's recommendations as to legislation
the report says:
There is imperative necessity for &C
ton by Congress.
THE one great need is that law Of
Congress should make of the intelligent.
jealous, patriotic body now known as the
Naval Militia, an organised national
guard, similar in its relations to the ma
tional government to that now occupied
by their brothers in the land militia.
"A review of the results accomplished
by the War Department in one year with
the land militia, since the passage of the
bill known generally as the Dick bill,
forces the conclusion that no greater ben
eft could be conferred on the navy, the
Naval Militia and the country than by
adapting the main features Of the Dick
bill to the Naval Militia.
There is appended the rough draft OF
bill prepared by the general board OF
the Naval Militia. This general board was
appointed by the National Naval Militia
Association at its annual meeting in
Washington in February. 1909. This bill
represents the carefully thought-out views
Of Naval Militia. If it meets with the ap-
prevail of the Navy Department, there will
be an earnest effort made to secure its
passage by Congress.
