Captain Bassett Makes Favor
able Comment on Work Of
District Militia During Year.

The recommendation that reserve bat
tleships be loaned by the Navy Depart
ment to the naval militia OF several
States, is made in the annual report OF
Capt. F. b. Bassett, jr.. chief Of the
division of naval militia AFFAIRS to See
retary Daniels. The torpedo boat EiaT-

out loss OF pay and without redJcinZ
their annual leave. a privilege that is,
extended TO naval militiamen IN the IJ.s-
trict The practice Of private employers
extending these privileges to their en-
ployes was commended.
I Favorable comment was made on the
work of the District militia during the
year.
The only criticism in the report was
directed at enlisted men Of the navy
assigned to duty on the crdiser Mont

militia. These men. with a few con-
spicuous examples, the report says.

Their disposition" he report adds. is
TO ridicule and sneer at all attempts OF
these green men to become familiar

tolerance, more or less indinerently con-
ceaIed, colored by attempts. to put over

about as big n job AZ one man. or a

"One at time. boys" said Uncle
Harry. II am not surprised that you

the thirteen American colonies became

the American colonists decided that
that they would not he ruled by any

pie themselves. OF course. there were
some people here in America at that
time who had lived. so long under a
king that they liked having a ruler ana

started a revolution which succeeded
in upsetting the empire and establish

there were many people in Europe VINO
Gfeit Just as the American colonists felt
ana did great deal to help the young
states. So It was not so hard for the
Americans TO win. But China is still

sion OF Camille at Crandall's the first
three days OF this week is calculated to
attract more than the usual attention
given film productions.
Camille" would seem to be we'll
adapted to motion picture production
without the addition of the tricks Of
the director which seem to be injected
to all adaptations of books and famous
stage plays. Miss Young's ability as
an actress is severely tested in the pro-
duction, to which she has given a
thoughtful Interpretation. Camille"
