D. G.. Naval Reserve

While there was no vacation period
allowed the members of the LIST Bat
talon, United States Naval Reserves of
the District of Columbia, following the
completion Of the annual cruise period
last week, nevertheless, there is a little
falling of in the drill attendance. This
Is believed to be due. however, to the
fact that some Of the men are out OF
town.
Recruiting will not be renewed until
the Fall season gets started in earnest,
and the officers, headed by Lieut..
Samuel w. Stinemetz, commanding the
organization, are preparing their sched-
uleS for schools and other activities to
be carried through the Winter and
Spring months. Until the weather be-
comes too bad for such practice, 1t was
indicated that the officers and men of
the several divisions will be drilled
aboard the United States destroyer
Abel p. Upshur, training ship of the
local organization, which has been tied
up at her berth at the Washington
Navy Yard for the season.
Before starting any recruiting, it was
explained, some of the division officers
are expected to do little wedding out
of men who have not shown SUFFICIENT
interest in the work of the organization
to maintain regular drill attendance. It
Is the practice in such cases to transfer
the men from the feet branch of the
reserve, where they are paid for drills,
to the volunteer branch, to which no
pay is attached. The members In the
fleet divisions are limited and when
the units are up to their allowed
strength no more enlistments are al
lowed until the number drops. Mem
