permits a man to transfer to the re-

service on one-third and one half, re-
spectively, of the total pay he was re-
ceiving at the time This is a great
inducement to retain many desirable
men in the service
The most Of our men enter as boys
at an average age of eighteen or nine
teen. Sixteen or twenty years later
if they so elect, they may transfer
from active service to the reserve.

The first thing that impresses us Is
the fact that twothirds of the entire

Official Regulations.

Navy regulations, governing the ma
val reserve, have Just been approved
| by Secretary. Daniels. Being based
upon the law creating the reserve, the
following extracts will convey In gen
, eral way its scope and purpose and the
! benefits 1t was designed to effect alike
! for the greater efficiency Of the navy
and the patriotic men who volunteer
their services:
| The naval reserve shall consist of cti-
zens Of the United States who have been
or may be entitled to be honorably dis
charged from the navy after not less
than one four year term Of enlistment or
after a term of enlistment during minor
ity
Men enlisted In the naval reserve are
not required to perform active service in
time Of peace except at their own re-
quest
Enlistments in the naval reserve will be
made in the rating In which last honor
ably discharged from the navy and for
period Of four years, unless sooner dis
charged by competent authority.
No man will be first enlisted In the ma
val reserve after eight years from the
date Of last discharge from the navy, nor
unless he be found to be physically fit to
perform all the duties of the rating in
which last discharged.
Enlisments in the naval reserve will be
made in two classes: Class one consists
of those men who enlist in the naval re-
serve within four months from date of
their last honorable discharge from the
navy. Glass two consists Of those men
who enlist in the naval reserve after four
months and within eight years from date
of their last honorable discharge from the
navy

man of the navy. upon voluntary appl-
cation at the expiration Of an enlistment

entitled to an honorable discharge and

riod and qualify for re-enlistment? OF
course some are found to be undesira-
bic characters whom the navy will not
have at any price, A great majority
OF the Others, however, are really good
men. but the navy has heretofore Of
fered little inducement for a future
career, while 1t demands much in the
way of hardshlps and separation from
home. 1n consequence many Of these
young men become disheartened and
leave the service by desertion, by dis
charge, by purchase or by sentences of
courts martial for offenses against mill
tary discipline. {.
Something to Strive For.
Now that the law places Il substan.
tial value upon the honorable discharge
by providing that men who are en-
titled to such may at stated intervals
elect to leave active service for the

with a substantial rate of pay graded
according to length of service in the
navy, we may hope TO see great
change in the uufavorable conditions
referred to. There is something to
strive fora reward for every one who
proves faithful to his trust. We can
look forward to an Improvement in dis
cipline higher standard of morale
and a resulting increase in efficiency
due TO greater number of men striv-
ing for and receiving an hoR0rdble dis
charge and to greater number of

enced man in the quota the govern
ment saves the expense Of enlsting
and training a recruit, and the navy
gains in efficiency in due proportion
The law has been on the statute
books only few months and can hard
ly be said to be fully understood, yet
the reports of enlistments indicate that
it is bringing the expected results.
Ordinarily recruits on first enlistment
0utnumber the re-cnlistments of eX-
perienced men in the proportion of

law, however, the reports show that
