Naval District Organization,

The function Of the 1faval district
,organizatton Of. the Navy Department
Us primarily to direct the operation
OF our coast naval, forces. which are
CHARGED with the duty Of patrol In
our harbors. at their entrances, and
along the stretches Of coast lying be-
tween them, to look for signs Of en-
envy activity and prevent 1t.
A large force is necessary to per-
FORM constant duty at. many points.
Channels Ito ports r constantly
swept, for floating mines. All vessels
are scrMtinfAed and movements regu-
lated. Defensive marine nets are nu-
merouse localities require constant
I~guarding.-s The district organization
also has direction Of the routing and:
handling Of overseas transportation.
The vessels and organization of the
Coast. Guard and Light House Ser
vices, for the mo&t part, have been
turned over to the Navy for this work
There were also a few naval vessels
useful for this service. Motor boats
and small yachts turned over some
times as gifts n loans by their own
ers. but mostly purchased or char
tered, are also used. Tugs and small
coasts-andr fishing vessels were COM
Wandered. Altogether there are
upward of 900 vessels Of all kinds
now on active duty in this service.
In most cases 1t was necessary to
kconvert these boats, arm them, and
train the crews. The sea and lake
coasts were divided into a number of
naval districts, each under a COM
mandant, and each district subdivid-
ed into sections, each section being
the headquarters for the vessels as
signed to it. =
District Schools.
District training schools have PRO
Evided the crews, not only for coast
patrol but also for thu merchant fleet
now in use and in process of con-
struction. The work of the short or
~gantzation, the maintaining Of the
bases, and the manning and operating
Of the vessels Of the patrol have been
carried on almost wholly by men of
the reserve force under Navy SUPER
vision. +'A -
The duty performed by these yes
sells is onerous to a degree, but it has
been conscientiously performed. Pa
troll vessels are generally small craft.
yet they are constantly on outpast
duty keeping the sea for days at a
thine often, in sever weather. The
salvage work and the work of the
mine-sweeping force is deserving of
especial mention.
There are about 60, 900 officers and
men both afloat and a shore engaged
in this work. Besides these there is
also a considerable force of men en-
rolled and gradually being called in
to active service and training as the
service expands.

600 officers and men had been en-
rolled in the Naval Reserve Force, a
large percentageDbeing on duty at
the timeiunder training. Enrollments
have continued until at the present
time there are about $4,000 men and
over 10000 officers.

Naval Training Stations.

Most of the enlisted men of the
Navy were essentially recruits, pre-
senting the problem Of training. Es-
tablished naval training stations
could accommodate only 5000 men.
They have been expanded by the
lures, no elaborate, but affording
reasonable comfort and hygienic
safety, habitable at all seasons, for
about $4,000 men. "A new station on
the jamestown Exposition site ac-
commodities some 10000 more.
Most of h Naval Reserves have
been provided for tn separate camps
with a combined capacity of nearly
10000 men. These are with n ex-
ception) on land lent on nominal
lease by States, communities, or priv

A minimum of three menths Of

duce ordinary seamen and firemen

ton of possible disease, andafor ,Hc-
cination, typhoid prophylaxis,' etc,

and machinists. require training for
shipwork. This peed has been. met
in part by ld.established Navy
trade schools, but has been supple
mented by additional Navy schools,
offering. courses preparatory to. a
brief finishing process at the old
Navy schools. Many civil ~vocational
schools and universities have also
| quired sreirnbursements for actual ex-
penditures. The aviation branch in
particular has required the establish
ment Of many new schools for ground
work as well as flying.
The organization of these schools
and courses has been kept, for the
most part, equal to the %exigencies of
being revisedfand checked up with a
view to meeting the increasing de-
mands.; .
The problem 'of training includes
not only enlisted men but officers.
For administration and technical
duties ashore, requiring. only brief
training. For seagoing, officers for
strictly professional duties the train
ing is comprehensive. This need has

and experience, and the enlisted men
havet been given every opportunity to

envy has been expanded to the limit
and the officers Of the Naval Militia
utilized wherever possible.
Naval Reserve Personnel.
The Naval Reserve Force, made up
Of ex-Navy men, seagoing merchant
men. and finally. civilians of special
experience and education, has, proved
I a rich field of undeveloped resource.
Enrollments are here limited to the
enlisted ratings, and the candidates
are put in training. BY q process of:
frequent examination and selection,
the most desirable officer material is
commissioned. Such schools are
maintained in almost every Naval
District. Their operation has been

federation. 1t seems that the new
federation is antagonistic to the
league, and Mr.. Anderson appears to
be quite ready to quarrel with it.
The Globe is not greatly concerned
about that, but as a purveyor of in
formation it is bound to note what
Mr.. Anderson says about Mr.. Bryan,
one of our greatest apostles of pro-
hibition and temperance. After eX-
planning that Mr. Bryan had assured
the Anti-Saloon League that he would
not accept the presidency of the dry
federation unless the Anti-Saloon
League and the w. c. T. U. were
part of it, Mr. Anderson delivers the
following estimate of the Nebraskan:
AS an eloquent speaker in behalf of
the prohibition movement, a man
an bring out a crowd and who
an persuade and convince a great
many members of that crowd, Mr..
Bryan is most highly desirable ad-
dition to the temperance ranks. But
as leader, as supposed strategist,
as a general, as one charged with re-
sponsibility for planning, Mr. Bryan
is frankly a joke so far as the prohi-
bition movement is concerned.
In other words, Mr.. Anderson's
opinion is that Mr. Bryan is long on
eloquence and short on practical
leadership. Mr.. Anderson is glad to
have Mr.. Bryan expend his eloquence
in behalf of prohibition, though he
is "a late conner in the prohibition
ranks" as he was late in taking the
American side of our controversy
with Germany" but it has no faith in
his equipment for effective practical
work Indeed, Mr.. Anderson sus-
poets that the chief purpose of the
dry federation is to get some kind
of national prohibition organiza-
ton behind Mr.. Bryan, in order that
he may make another bid for the
presidency in 1920, with prohibition
as the issue.
Mr.. Anderson is a shrewd man,
and his guess does not sound unrea-
sonable. Mr.. Bryan is not yet too old
for another try at the presidency.
And it isn't the first time that he has
been called a joke.

THE HOUR,

How smoothly we have slipped
klto the new order of things that
requires us to rise an hour earlier in
the morning, and, perforce, to retire
approximately an hour earlier in the
evening-how smoothly and readily,
though we carry in our conscious
ness the knowledge that it is all part
of genial hoax, that things are not
as they seem.
By a quite preposterous matter of
enactment, which does not, Joshua
like, compel the sun to stand still
but which legislates our world an
hour ahead. We achieve certain
economic savings. If the experience
of other countries is duplicated, we
shall achieve also moral and there
fore in the long run spiritual saw
ings. The idea had nothing in its
favor from the beginning except
sense. 1t has nothing at all in its
favor today except that il works.
And the root of all its success is in
easy human adaptability
How hopeful for civilization it is
that man has now reached the stage
at which he cannot even be laughed
out of a benefit, How futile, in view
of that astounding proof, to think he
can be fought out of It, How inter-
esting, incidentally, is man.

and wish especially to thank men,
bers of other churches who helped.
Special mention is made here of the
reading of Mary Landers, of the
First Baptist Church East Nashville.
Little Miss Landers recited Speak
up Ike an spress yourself" to the
delight of all present. The Duet
rendered by the Misses Mayberry
was very pleasing indeed. They
were accompanied by Miss Jennie
Dunson, organist of the Pleasant
Green Baptist Church. Misses May
berry are members of the choir of
the Pleasant Green Baptist Church.
Solos were beautifully rendered by
Miss Annie Mae Darden, accompanied
by Mrs. A. E. little and Miss Cleo
patria Buchanan, accompanied by
Prof. H. B. P. Johnson. In this con-
nection the instrumental solo by
Marguerite Boyd and violin solo by
R. H. Boyd, deserve special mention.
Each youthful performer showed
evidence of great future in the
musical world. Instrumental solos
were rendered by Misses Gladys
Roache and Villa Mai Rucker, Mr.
Robert Roach and Prof. H. B. P.
Johnson to the delight of all pres
emit Miss Katie Boyd read "Bill''
which was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss
Josephine Douglass sang very sweetly
If | only had some home sweet home.
A pleasing number was rendered by
the Sunday school chorus. Interest
ing remarks were made by Rev. ]. A.
Sharpe at the conclusion of the
program. After a solo by Mrs.
White accompanied by Mrs. Boyd,
the benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Boyd.
