While waiting for the time to be-
gin the summer cruises aboard the
vessels assigned to them, the United
States naval reserve forces in the Dis
trict of Columbia. between drills and
study periods, are planning recrea-
ton work One of the big treats for
the reservists and the recruits who
have just entered the service since
the inauguration of the recruiting
campaign will be a showing of war
pictures These will be projected at
the armory Monday night, March 81,
and will include actual pictures of the
participation of the American forces
in the recent conflict abroad. The
reels of films are to be loaned by the
Signal Corps of the Army. Arrange
ments for their loan were made dur
ing the week by Lieut.. Commander
William r. Hoefer. executive officer
of the local reserve battalion.
A number of reels also will be loan
ed by the recruiting section of the
Navy Department. These pictures
show the life aboard a dreadnaught
and depict the multitudinous duties

shown at various periods. in an effort
TO attract to the naval reserve bat
TALON the young men of the city.
When the weather opens up in the
Potomac and the subchaser is ready
for practice cruises, prospective re-
cruits will be taken on the trips in
order to get them acquainted with
the work of the local naval training
school During the summer months
it is expected that the local battal-
ion will be largely increased by the
enrolment of a number of the city's
best young men.
The moving picture programs are
only one feature of the series of en-
tertainments and recreation pro-
grams which are being discussed and
work of the local forces. 1t is plan
ned to equip the local armory with
recreation facilities as fast as pos
sible, and to encourage in every man
ncr possible, as it is done in the ac-
tive fleets, the participation in
healthy sports.
Plans have practically been COM
pleted for this dance to be given by
the officers of the reserve resident in
the District of Columbia. 1t will be
the first dance of the officers al
though prior to the Lenten period the
enlisted personnel gave one dance a
month.
The purpose of the officers dance is
TO have all of the officers resident in
this District become better acquaint-
ed. Many of them are unable to ac-
lively participate in the regular
weekly drills and service schools. and
for that reason many of them have
never met.
a number of high ranking naval
officers detailed at the Navy Depart
ment are expected to attend the
dance. and the cOmmittep in charge
of the dance has even intimated that
It might spring a surprise on the
dancers. 1t is possible that certain
very high civilian naval OFFICIALS will
attend the officers hop. which is to
be given on March 81
