no member of the World Peace

"The World Peace Association has
asked us to speak for them said
Charles T. Hallinan. editorial director
Of the American Union Against Mil

seem amply able to speak for them
selves. Their telegram indicates a

'mollycoGdle.' It's a frame OF mind
quite generally aroused among paciiists

PICKP0CKETS BUSY AT FETE
Guests at Entertainment Robbed OF
S1,0O0-Three Men Arrested

Apparently the pickpockets who en-
tered Cecilia Hall, 1913 Grand Street
yesterday afternoon imagined that the
entertainment which Lithuanians were
holding there was for the benefit of in.
dustrious intrudcrs. They had taken
more than $1,000 in money and jewelry
before Joseph Anjunas discovered that
he had been robbed of $50.
His lamentations acted as a summons
10 the police. They arrested three men
who were trying TO leave the hall.
When arraigned in the Williamsburg
police court each was held in $1,000
bail on a charge Of larceny. They said
that they were Samuel Stern, of 354
briggs Avenue; Oscar Meltz. OF 400
Howard Avenue and Isador Kaplan Of

SO successful WIS tho naval cruise

tho cruise and training, and these will
be members Of an advanced class, their

where 1T left of last year, on battle

Training CAMPS arc 20 be established
at the navai stations at Newport, Chi

ably at Pensacola. The battlosnps
Minnesota and North Dakota have been
detailed 10 Philadelphia and tho battle
ship New Jersey TO New York for win
ter courses of instruction. At the
camps civilians will be trained for one
month in precisely the same way as
recruits for the navy.
in all. ten or twelve battleships VIII
be detailed as training ships for the
civilian volunteers. 4 flag officer will
be in command.
The development OF the vast re-
sources in speedy motor craft to serve
as naval scouts and dispatch boats viii
have more attention than last year.
Owners and operators Of motor boats
may Join the naval reserve, and under
the law Of August %. 1915, the Navy
Department is authorized to establish
training camps for the instruction OF
members Of the reserve and Of civilians
who wish 10 prepare themselves for
membership.
Reserves Get a Retainer
A small retainer is paid to members
of the reserve and their expenses are
laid by the government. Civilians who
take preliminary training must, under
the present law, pay their own eX-
penses. estimated at about $50 for each
individual.
In applying for the course Of training
civilians incur no obligation TO join the
reserve. but they must agree to abide
by the. regulations and follow the
course OF training laid down By the
Navy Department. The department in
tends 10 recommend to Congress that
the term Of enrolment and reenrol-
ment in the naval reserve be fixed at
one year.
The Navy Department can now sup
ply gasolene and oil to the boats of the
motor boat squadron and IL will ask
Congress for permission 20 supply fuel
and oil to boats other than gasolene-
driven which are suitable for use in
the mosquito feet.
May Take Winter Course
Civilians who take up the winter
courses at New York and Philadelphia,
while they may not have the same ad
vantages as those who participated in
the cruise Of last summer, will still be
considerably i'm advance of those who
wait for the summer camps. They will
form another division of recruits in
class above that Of the summer volun-
teers if they continue the training.
The instruction camps and cruises
will take place between July and
August 4 unless the course proves as
popular as did the Plattsburg idea,
when there will be additional periods
Of instruction TO accommodate all
corners. The exercises and maneuyres
Of the motor boat squadron will be
during the first two weeks OF Septem-
Der.
