in which this boat will be used during
the season just opening.
1t was planned yesterday that the
launch would cruise down as far as
Indian Head, where the party of sailors
would camp for the night, and to spend
all of today and tomorrow cruising in
that vicinity. The engine and boiler have
been taken apart and cleaned and new
parts substituted where they were need
ed Ensign Thompson declared that the
trip On which they started yesterday,
would show whether every part of the
engine was doing its work properly. and
those which We're not working easily
could be adjusted before the vessel be-
gins taking parties of jackies out for
regular training trips.
Ensign Thompson is one of the most
efficient engineer officers of the battalion,
understanding the workings of marine
boilers and engines in every detail. 1t
was for this reason that Commander
Dempf assigned him to the duty of over
hauling the small engine in the steam
launch. 1t was difficult job. according
to other officers of the battalion. because
of the small space in which the men
had to work. and II was hard to get
at many of the parts.
The men of the battalion last Thurs
day night We're given additional instruc-
ton in the methods of handling field
guns under service conditions. This prac-
tee was directed by Lieut. Guss.

LAS ordnance officer of the local naval
militia, the trip. l know. did me much
good and I believe it will help the local
naval militia, as ! will attempt to in
struct the men under me in the methods
aboard the big ships when they are en-
gagged in target practice. and l will i'm
part all of the information to the officers
who were unable to make the trip"
Ensign Hoefer expressed the opinion
that the naval militia law. passed only
last February, will do more than anything
else to promote efficiency among the naval
militia organizations of the country. Its
very terms. he said. encourage officers
and men to take an interest in their
work, when they feel that the government
is willing to meet them half way and pro-
vide them with the means of getting a
naval training which will be most val
liable in time of hostilities. Experience
on the big ships in actual service. he con-
tinued will go long way toward improv-
ing the naval militia of the country.

Efforts are being made by Commander
Dempf to organize a band for his organ
ization. He is DESTROYS of obtaining young
men with a musical training who are in
terested in the naval militia, and would
like to make cruises with it on its own
vessel and on the ships of the Atlantic re-
serve fleet during the summer, to enlist
in the organization for detail to band.
Several applications for detail to the band
already have been receiy ed, but the com
handing officer has not yet received
enough to start the band off. He feels,

however. that it will be only matter of
a short time before he will have enough
men to establish this branch of the or
ganiZation.
When the organization went on its
cruise last year it took with it a band
which had been organized but short
time before. These men gradually have
been mustered out, however and final

to promote practical reverence for
Our Lord Jesus Christ. Its rules
are directed to the repression of

language of all kinds, and to the
cultivation of devotion to the blessed
sacrament. The badge of member

invade Ireland with a view to its
conquest or the overthrow of any

should fortune ever bring German
troops to the Irish shores the troops
would land not as an army of invad-

national prosperity and freedom.
