BIG MOVE FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Navy Proposes Reserve Of
$4,000 Men.
CHANCE FOR AMATEURS
Asks Garrison and Daniels To Out.
line Definite Programs To Pre-.
pare For Congressional
Action.

Washington.-Plans for the organiza-
ton of national naval reserve OF So.
600 officers and men, upon which the
navy can draw for help in an hour Of
need, were announced at the Navy De-
partment.
The plan involves the organization
Of the retired officers and former en-
listed men Of the navy so that they
may be ready for service in an emerg-
ency; the organization Of and training
Of the Coast Guard for naval service,
and the training of volunteer civilians
whose work acquaints them with the
handling Of boats.
The Navy Departments statement
on the plan Is as follows:
In addition to the regular navy and
state naval militias, the plan Of organ
izaion contemplates a national naval
reserve to be constituted as follows:
Retired Officers and Former En-
listed Men of the Navy-The organiza-
tion of retired officers already exists,
and step toward securing a reserve
Of former enlisted men was taken last
spring by Congress. While the results
Of this legislation have not been large
during the two months il has been in
effect, 10 men having been enrolled up
to September l. 1915. it is believed that
an increasing number of men, whose
enlistments expire will take advantage
Of the opportunity offered and it is al
ready having the effect of increasing
the number Of re-enlistments.
Other Federal and State Branches.
"Other Branches of the Federal and
State Governments-This means the
coordination of the Coast Guard; that
Is, the revenue cutter and life-saving
services; the lighthouse service. the
coast survey. the State Nautical Train
Ing Schools. the harbor police, in such
manner as to fit readily into the naval
service at short notice. Little legisla-
tion is necessary to accomplish this,
and the organization OF this work is
already under way
volunteer Civillans-It is believed
that the reserve of personnel should
total $4,000 officers and men. What is
particularly desired is not merely
numbers. but individuals who will be
capable Of doing the highly specialized
service which exists in modern nayies.
For instance. in war time the navy
would need the services Of possibly
1000 additional radio operators; il
would require local pilots for inside
waters, help men, gunners, gasoline
motor experts, signalmen, besides, Of
course, frst-class seamen. The depart
ment has had many letters asking
whether an opportunity could be given
to individuals to take courses of train
ing in these specialties If the general
plan is approved, It is hoped that next
summer courses Of instructions can be
started, using reserves or other avail
able ships, and giving to these who de-
sire three or four weeks OF training
so that they could become Of some
definite use If called upon
