D. G.. Naval Reserve

in which one division Of the local bat
talon will prepare for the annual cruise.
The first cruise starts in this city
aboard the United States destroyer
Hamilton on June 20, during which the
local citizen sailors will be taken TO
Bermuda.
All drilling now being done at the
local armory is in preparation for these
cruises, three of which will be taken by
as many divisions. The gun crews OF
each of these three divisions are being
especially drilled, for during the voy--
ages each division must fire its ANNUAL
target practice with the large guns
aboard the destroyer. There Is In
stalled in the local armory 4-inch
gun, which is used each drill night Tor
the purpose of perfecting the crews in
teamwork in serving the piece.
AS the cruise this year will be South,
Lieut.. Stinemetz points out that both
officers and men must have full out
1T of white uniforms. There will be
three days Of liberty in Bermuda, and
they must be able to make fine ap-
pearance in the foreign possessions,
where they will be subjected to the
critical eyes Of the populace.
The battalion will be put through its
IGKuldT IIlO1lUAhy A4AokCNbAOAA OOAAAOAAo
night by Lieut.. Stinemetz. The formal
ceremonies will be brief, and upon COM
pletion the armory will be turned over
to the Naval Reserve Athletic AsSocia-
ton for an athletic meet.
The principal feature Of the meet
will be q series of boxing bouts between
members of the Reserve association and
the boxers of the Ritz Athletic Club OF
Baltimore. AS both organizations are
reported to have some fine boxers, an
evening full Of entertainment is prom
ised.
Each member of the athletic asso-
citation Is allowed two tickets to be
given to friends. Admission to the
armory will be only by ticket.
Lieut.. B. ]. Dayton, inspector-instruc-
tor of the battalion, delivered lecture

officers some of the things which an
officer did which brought favorable

convened and made q complete and
exhaustive study of the whole situation
and recommended legislation. resulting
eventually In the passage Of our 1925
act.
1.-THE fact Of the matter is" he con-
tinued, under the provisions Of this
act the Naval Reserve alone, as now
organized, Is designed to furnish the
additional personnel required by the
Navy for mobilization purposes. Naval
Militia organizations are maintained for
State purposes. and 1t is not for the
Federal Government to question the
wisdom of the various institutions set
up by any sovereign State within its
legal rights. If the States choose to
provide armory facilities for the use of
their Naval Militia, the Navy Depart
ment Is happy to have those facilities
made available to the Naval Reserve,
and in exchange therefor to make the
accoutrements furnished the Naval Re-
serve organizations also available for the
use OF the Naval Militia. The quality
and quantity of armory facilities fur
nished are quite outside the Jurisdiction
of the Federal Government, and the
costs therefor are generally even out
side its knowledge.
1T Is conceded that the States should
have control over the moneys expended
by them and to have say in the selec-
ton of those who are to make the ex-
penditures. Certainly the Navy Depart
ment has no control over these expen-
ditures or the selecting of Militia
officers.
1T is regrettable that the Federal
Government does not appropriate suffi-
cient money to cover the expense Of
armories and other activities to properly
carry on the Naval Reserve work with
out the assistance of the States, and
the question would never have arisen
had the Federal Government never &C
cepted State help.
However, 1t has been done. State
help has been recognized, and the Navy
Department certainly wants to work
hand in hand with the Naval Militia
to do its part toward the mutual adj
vancement Of both organizations. Just
how far we can go Is something to be
determined. 1t will be a matter which
will take close study before solution
is reached. But 1t can be said un-
qualifiedly that the Federal Govern
ment must retain control over its Re-
serve forces"

Barron r. Franklin, 10 r street, was
enlisted in the local Reserve last week
as o seaman, second class, and assigned
to the I'd Fleet Division for duty.
The Navy Department has authorized
the promotion of Joseph L. Hutchins
from seaman, first class, to aviation ma
chinist's mate, third class, In the Avia-
ton Division.
Officers and men Of the 1st Aviation
Division here have received orders to
report at the Naval Air Station at Ana
costa, D. c., on May / for their an
nual period Of Is days training duty.
In some of the States officers and
men in the United States Naval Re-
serves also are members of the State
Naval Militia. In discussing the rela-
ton between these two organizations
Capt. Hugo Osterhaus, in charge of the
Naval Reserve section of the Naval Blu
reau of Navigation, said that certain
States have done much for the Naval
Reserve. The appropriations, he said,
which have been made by States for
armories, ETC., and from which the
Naval Reserves have benefited, have
been largely due to the interest of the
Naval Militia-N Naval Reserve officers act
ing in the various States.
"On the other hand" he went on,
"the Naval Militia has been aided by
the Federal Government through its
appropriations, by the active-duty pay
to Reservists who are likewise In the
Militia and by pay for attendance at
drills. So both the Federal Govern
ment and the States have mutually
benefited each by the other expendi-
lures.
1.-THE Naval Militia of some States
takes a rather different view of the
obligations Of the Federal Government
to the States. Some would advocate
returning to the old Naval Militia sys-
tenn. The least that could be expected
from those harboring this line Of
thought would be dual control of the
Naval Reserve by the Federal and State
authorities.
II understand" Capt. Osterhaus con-
tinued, this whole matter of whether
the Naval Reserve or the Naval Militia
should be paramount was thoroughly
thrashed out as far back as 1920, and
that at that time it was realized addi-
tional legislation would be necessary to
make the Naval Reserve force a virile
organization. At a meeting of Naval
Reserve officers from various sections of
the country 1t was the consensus Of
opinion that 1t would be a mistake to
discard the Naval Reserve and return
to the old Naval Militia system. In
due course the washington Board was

MAYHEM Uncle Sam goes to market. especially
w when he goes to market for his sick
veterans, he doesn't go merely with q shopping
list calling for SO many cases of this and so
many cases of that. He goes aided by a group
of expert chemists, men qualified to pass on
the quality Of every type-of food.
1t isr't just a question Of competitive bids,
nor of quality based on purity and food value
alone, but quality based as wen on appearance
and attractiveness. For the men who are to
eat the food are not just the normal run of
healthy hungry men of the armed services, but
sick men-men whose nerves have been shat
tered or who have been otherwise stricken;
men whose jaded appetites often need more
than hunger to spur them to eat.
Because Of the fact that the food must have
mot only dietary value but dietary value for
sick men and attractiveness to excite their
appetttes, Uncle Sam puts his best chemists in
the Food and Drug Administration to work.

T'reading selth stedlthy feet the darkened stair,
Searching the forest floor to make amends

The leGaes GaCdkening, stir upon the trees
Gently as tnkling ice aVitIin glass,
And drO0bing bluebelLS lift dull lips to seize.
HIS saslft, cool kiss before his footsteps pass
NOaV he is gone, and leaf and bud and foaoer
Sink back to rest upon the odoroMS night,
Missing in dreams the brief, stdr-hidden hour

and they had to use sotol stalks for
torches. Finally Don Joaquin struck
q piece of wall that sounded hollow,
and with q few strokes he broke
through.
In the dim light by the torch Of
sotol stalk, which could hardly pene-
trate the dust, Tomas and Don Joa-
ouin saw in front of them a figure OF
bronze larger than real man. In its
right hand was q dagger, securely
bound there by rawhide thongs. Per-
haps the trapdoor had not been cor
rectly built; perhaps many years Of
standing had caused 1t to grow still.
Anyway, God was good and the
dagger did not lunge forward to stab
the intruders.
Tomas and his master were in the
treasure room. The old Indian had
told the truth. There were piles OF
silver bars, maletas (bags) OF gold.
Jewels, guns, silver-mounted saddles,
finely wrought brides, aparejos, even
cloaks and swords.
This was late on q Saturday after
noon. Don Joaquin said: I'VE are
tired almost to death. Work and
hunger have made us weak. Wealth
so sudden has made us weaker. Let
us rest tomorrow, the day Of God.

be said of this discovery. I and one
other Of you will sleep In the entrance

Only two of the laborers went to
the village. They drank much tequilla
and they talked. A large guard Of
soldiers on their way TO fight the
Yaqm Indians farther west were
camped IN this village. Some Of tine
officers heard the talk Of the miners.
About daylight on Monday morn
ing Don Joaquin's camp was sur
prised and he and all his men were
made prisoners. Also, other men who
had helped with the work but who
had deserted we're brought in as
prisoners. Then, chained together,
the captives were marched southwark.
They left the wild mountains and
came into O country that had cart
roads. They were fed almost nothing.
They were jabbed and beaten when
they Jagged. Some Of them died.
Finally, after having been driven
for weeks over hundreds Of miles,
the remnant of prisoners were cast
into o dark prison Of thick rock walls.
Tomas had Q cell into which no light

were brought to him by . guard

After Tomas heard this account. he slept
and then rode on When he got bark 10 the
village he told his employer, Don Joaquin
ViIlareal what he had heard.
Don Joaquin, who had recovered from his
illness, at once determined to search fer The
cave. He went to Mexico City and secured
a permit to inspect for mines in the Sierra
Madre. He took Tomas with him and an
extra mule with provisions. They went 10
Ignacic'S jacal, and then they travelled west,
deeper into the mountains. After they had
been looking long, long time, they spied
hole in the top Of a mountain. They threw
rocks down the hole They had to wait many
seconds before they heard the rocks hit and
echo below. The echoing sounds told them
that there was a cavern beneath them
Don Joaquin thought it best to enter the
cavern through a tunnel from one side. A
deep ravine cutting down one side Of the
mountain afforded o practicable place at which
to start the tunnel. From q village not far
of and from other places Don Joaquin hired
about 20 men, established q good camp ana
set about his great work.
There was nothing but rock, rock rock.
The laborers cut their way into 1t Hy inches,
carrying the Clipped pieces out in mlrrones -
rawhide bags slung from the head CT the
carriers. They worked until Don Joaquin3 funds
for hiring men were exhausted. The only way
he could keep after the treasure was 70

knew would eventually be found. At the end
of six months they struck kind Of reddish
sandstone that appeared to have been wet
with blood. Quickly they tunneled through it
and were in an enormous cavern.
The cavern was empty. Yet some animal
bones and many marks of nre showed that
human beings had once been there and eaten.

of the Communist International, will be the only
faithful, tireless and heroic leadership to guide
them in their daily struggle against hunger and

That Wall Street fears the rise Of a revolution
airy working class party is shown by their frantic
cutlery against the Communist. movement its
group, and leaders, and the denunciation of the
slightest action of the masses as Bolshevisn.
The Communist Party Of USA mourns the loss
of our stalwart Conlrade and leader in the Philip
pines, Antonio Ora We protest against the
arrest of Comrades EyangeIsta, Mammalian and
Anbrosio and call upon the workers and poor
farmers in the United States to demand the
immediate release of their fellow workers and
fighters in the Philippine Islands. Their struggle
is the struggle of the American workers against
capitalist slavery, against starvation and for the
overthrow of imperaiSt domination. Within the
US borders, also, the Filipino workers. especially
in Pacific Coast agriculture, are subjected to the
most brutal oppression and exploitation.
The uprising OF millions OF peasants, under the
