TRANSACT BUSINESS
 AND HEAR NAVY TALK

The Wednesday monday meeting of the Norwich Rotary held at the Wau- regan hotel was devoted mainly to busi- ness matters of the club and to an in teresting talk on the Naval Reserves by F. B. Craven, retired officer of the U s. navy, who is engaged in organizing New London county unit of the new naval reserve force. Mir Craven who was introduced by Charlss A. Saxton, spoke as follows:
 7 We have heard quite lot recently about a New Naval Reserve Force. and yet many of us do not know yet what it is all about. Perhaps it would not be out of the way now to explain some of the advantages of such an organization to the community and to the nation as well as to the individuals. If some active young men of the city were to draw up pledge stating their willingness or read mess to serve their country instantly in case of another war, and then they should find many more similar young men willing to sign 1t, would their act not be commendable? Would not the citizens of this city be pleased to for ward such a pledge to the War depart ment or the Navy Department in Wash ington? There are a great many young men today who would sign such a pledge, and in fact that IS just the con tract that a young man has to sign in order to enroll in this Naval Reserve The value of such 8 body of men to the country is considerable, and particularly at time when our army and navy are being cut to the limit. In order to make these men even more valuable the navy department makes an offer to these men of a. very reasonable compensation for all meetings or drills that they will volun- tarily attend for training purposes. There is absolutely no compulsory duty of any
 kind connected with it unless war is
 declared in which case each member is called On to fulfill his pledge.
 Under these circumstances such an or ganizatlon here would be a very great
 credit to the community. Similar and very large ones are now in existence in l practically all coastal cities and Con necticut is near the top Of the list The navy department is attempting to form l this organization and desires the men tc sign this pledge of their allegiance whether they wish to attend the drills | or not, which of course Is up to them
 The opportunity to join is limited tc
 the first of the coming year, after which
 no new men may join. An institution
 of this kind, promoted is it is by the
