 The naval reserve boys in town have received the following communication from the navy department relative to a voluntary two weeks or three weeks cruise:
 Officers ard enlisted men of the U S. N. R. F. Gnactive) are upon their own voluntary written request permitted to be recalled to active duty for one or more consecutive periods specified below, with full active duty pay, to make a cruise on board battleships and destroyers of the Atlantic fleet off the Atlantic coast of the United States. Upon the conclusion of the cruise, reservists will be again placed on an inactive duty status and sent back to their homes just as they are at present The government will pay transportation (and subsistence if required) to and from the ships, and reservists will receive full active pay while on duty. Reservists cannot receive pay or transportation and subsistence for a cruise of less than two weeks.
 For reservists who have had three months active service on a combatant vessel during their present enrolment, a two weeks cruise with pay will, if they wish it, take the place of the 36 drills required for this year to maintain thelr efficiency, and when confirmed make them eligible for two months retainer pay Glass 8, month) this year A weeks cruise without pay or transportation, if preferred, will accomplish the same end.

No one will be confirmed in Class I. Class reserves and Class 3 reserves who do not go to sea should transfer to Class for confirmation and two months retainer pay per year. Here is the chance to qualify for transfer

 Class l reservists should make a three three weeks cruise and thereby discharge draw their retainer pay. Class reserv- ists who follow the sea and Class 5 re- servists are no texpected to make any cruises
