problems, which were first laid before
the reservists at the annual conven-
ton of the Naval Reserve Officers
Association Of the United States. They
believe that they have good solutions
of some Of the problems, but they
want to get q composite recommends
ton before sending the matter into
the Navy Department.
For the first time since the World
War the local Reserve battalion has
nearly reached its full complement,
allowed by the Navy Department.
There are only few vacancies left
in the seaman branch, and it was
pointed out that young men desiring
to make the annual cruises should
enlist promptly, as in several weeks
it may be too late. Heretofore men
have been enlisted right up to the
night before the training ship left on
her annual cruise, but 1t was pointed
out that this was very unsatisfactory.
Under the command of Comdr.
Smith, it was said, the organization
has grown gradually to its full COM
plement, and a careful selection has
been made of prospective recruits in
order to get the best type of men
who would be interested in the Naval
Reserve work throughout the year,
and who was intelligent enough to
grasp quickly the instruction in multi
tudinous naval duties.
Filling the complement so far In
advance OF the time for the cruises
to start, it was pointed out, enables
the officers to train these men so that
they know something of life aboard
ship before they start the cruises.
This is particularly important this
year, because of the coming target
practice, when every man has an inn
portant duty in the ship machine.
Disapproval has been given by the
Navy Department of the recon-
mendation to designate Newport as
the liberty port during the second
week end Of the four Reserve cruises.
This matter was gone into very thor
oughly and was given careful con-
sideration at conference with rep
resentatives OF the Bureau Of Navi-
CATION, it was said. AS a result Of
this conference the Navy Department
is of the opinion that the best results
will be obtained by Newport being
designated as the liberty port for the
first week end of the second, third
and fourth cruises, and that the other
portss be designated for the second
week end.

Thursday night by Lieut.. Comdr. Fin

men were allowed to participate in
athletics.
The officers of the battalion met and
discussed the recent letter of the Navy
Department laying down 10 problems
facing 1t In connection with the han
ding of the Reserve, and on which it
had asked the aid of Naval Reserve
units in solving, because of the close
contact of the Reserve officers with
the local conditions, which, of course,
must form a large part of the consid.
Grafton in settling matters of this kind.
Matters which work out on paper in
the department do not always work
out practically in the Reserve dis
tricts. 1t was pointed out. where the
men, who also have civil jobs to earn
their livelihood must be considered.
