NAVAL RESERVE.

Assurance that the United States
Destroyer Allen would be commits
stoned and sent here for the use as
a training ship of the Naval Reserve
of the District of Columbia was prac-
tically given by Commander J. A
Schofield. when he spoke at the an
nual dinner of the Naval Reserve
Officers Association of the District of
Columbia held Wednesday night at the
Wardman Park Hotel. There had
been some doubt that the department
would find funds with which to put
her in commission, but Comma nder
Schofield said that some of the work
on her had already been authorized.
The meeting was presided over by
Lieut.. H. j. Nichols, president of the
local association. When Lieut.. Comdr.
T.. w. Jones, who commanded the
Eagle Sc this year on her first cruise.
which was the first foreign cruise OF
the District Reservists since the war,
he praised in the highest terms the
work of the officers and men on that
cruise. He said they did excellent
work at target practice, and was in
formed by a regular naval officer that
the local contingent had done the best
shooting on the naval target range at
Tangier Sound for a long time.
During the cruise, he said, he real
than 80 years experience, that thc
Eagle sc was not a good boat 70,
deep sea work. He practically con
demned this type of vessel for this
sort of work, and only, he said, be
cause of his experience. He told the
officers that he was heart and sou,
with them in their efforts to get the
destroyer here, and he said he felt
quite confident that the local unit was
in every way capable of taking such
vessel to any part of the world. As
to that statement, he said he made no
reservation, mental or otherwise. His
remarks were replied TO by Lieut. S.
W. StinemetZ d. g.).
Commander Schofield then was in
troduced as the man who was to com.
mand the vessel on the most ambiti.
Gus cruise of the reserve this year. q
30-day cruise to the West Indies. The
fact that he had recommended il
Lieut. Nichols said. was indicative of
the confidence and high regard he had
for the unit which he commands.
Commander Schoheld said that he
recalled that this was an ambitious
undertaking, and he said that he had
decided upon it only after much
thought and after conferences with
officers in the Navy Department who
were thoroughly familiar with West
Indian waters at this time of the
year. He admitted that there was

asked by Maj. Gen. Stephan. in a let
ter. to have that organization take up
the question Of obtaining new arm
Dry for the National Guard of the

With view to establishing the point
that the proposal made last year for

ton at the Federal expense entirely,
but on the same basis that other ex-
penses of the District of Columbia are
met.
At the same time ii was pointed out
that there is great urgency for this
lction, as Convention Hall has been
sold and Is to be turned into recrea-
ion place. The guard now has the
use of this for drill purposes. and
should its use be cut off there is
no other suitable place for the indoor
training of the guard.
1t is understood says the letter,
that Convention Hall, which has been
available TO us at very nominal
rental for drill purposes. has been
sold and will be remodeled for other
purposes, which will deprive the Ma
tional Guard Of it's use. 1t is difficult

missioner Cuno II. Rudolph The let
'er follows:
Referring to the proposed memorial
lrmory for the National Guard of the
District of Columbia, | will appreciate
it If you will use your good offices to
have an item covering the erection of
such memorial included in the. Dis
.rict OF Columbia estimates for the
fiscal year 1927. You no doubt recall
he bills which We're introduced in the
Senate and House of Representatives
last year authorizing this armory and
the failure of the proposed legislation
to pass due to the statement by the
budget bureau that the project was not
included in the Presidents program
for construction in the District of
Columbia. Effort is being made to
show the President that this project
is in no way concerned with the
United States building project and is
purely a District of Columbia propo.
Iition.
II have recently seen a copy Of the
letter which you forwarded to Gen.
Lord last February, indorsing the
project and sincerely appreciate your
efforts in our behalf. | am confident
that If concerted action can be secured
during the coming session of Congress
that our armOry will be fact. AS
YOU have no doubt read In the papers.
Convention Hall, which has been used
for drill purposes by us, has been sold
and II is contemplated by the new
owners that they will turn the build
ing into a recreation center, which will
deprive us of its use. This will indeed
be handicap and will necessitate a
material change in our present operat-
ing conditions.
The efforts of the commissioners in
the past in behalf OF the National
Guard of the District of Columbia is
deeply appreciated and ! only request
that the same whole-hearted and gen.
erous support which has been received
in the past be continued

Correspondence of The Associated Press.
REVAI,. Esthonia, February 26.-
Warm tribute to the tenacity, patriot
ism and will to law and order
which inspired the Esthonian people
to build a state in such short time
Esthonia has had but four years OF
peace-was paid by NJ. Avenol, deputy
general secretary of the League or
Nations, who has just left Reval at
the head of a special economic COM
mittee which visited Esthonia in be-
half of the league.
NJ Avenol also praised the methods
that enabled Esthonia, without for
eign credits or assistance, to put her
financial house in established order
and to pass through the serious crisis
of 1898 unscathed. Esthonia, he said,
had adapted the old adage, Help
thyself, then Providence VIII help
thee" into Help thyself. then the
great financiers of the world will also
be willing to help"
An interesting glimpse of Esthonian
aims and ideals is given in an inter-
view with Karl Pusta, the foreign
minister.
Having ourselves lived so long un
der the oppression of foreign rule, IT
has been easy for us to fall In with
the principles laid down by the late
President Wilson as to the minorities
living in our country" the minister
said. "Of our own free will we have
embodied in our constitution various
safeguards for the minorities. They
have even the right to speak their
own languages in Parliament, and
German and Russian deputies already
have availed themselves of this privi-
lege.

large crowds to a small house of
worship here one Sunday recently
that police were necessary to keep
the overflow crowd from interrupting
her sermon.
Speaking from familiar texts, Ma

the Rev. R. H. Crawford, pastor of

Church, told those who crowded every
nook in the little place of the value
of the Bible to the youth of today.
She preached for an hour and then
was acclaimed by her listeners.

followed that of her 15-year-

The children receive their incentive
from their father, who holds the
theory that preachers cannot start
