ESCANABA NAVAL RESERVES
MAY Be MUSTERED OUT
COMMANDER STEPHENSON TO
GIVE DIVISION UNTIL MARCH
I TO DECIDE.

Commander Grant +. Stephenson of
Escanaba will muster out the Escan1-
bd division of the Naval Reserves UNI
less greater interest is taken in II.
Commander Stephenson says that he
will regret this move far more than
he can tell. but it will he necessary
unless the business men of the city
take interest i'm it. The quarters for
the boys are not good and there is not
the opportunity for drill practice.
Another thing is the lack of interest
by men who would make good officers
Commander Stephenson says that At
the present time there is no one To
take charge of the brigade, not that
there isn't plenty of material in the
city, for there are number of young
men that would make first class Off
GERS, but none of them want To join
the reserves
Escanaba don't seem to take very
active interest IN the division and but
little help has been given to it. Tho
reserves have had struggle from
the start and unless something is done
right away, the division will pass into
history-and with but little history M
record at that.
