While no definite word has been re-
ceived from the Navy Department con-
cerning the annual cruises this Summer,
since the Senate replaced in the appro-
priation bill funds intended to be used
for this purpose, officers and men OF The
local Reserve are hoping that it ulti-
mately will be possible to get a cruise
this year
While tentative plans are being drawn
up, they are subject. Of course, to final
disposition being made of the item i'll
the appropriation bill But If the fund
remains in the bill the Reserve organi-
zation here will be prepared. with a

tire battalion of three devisions to be
taken to sea at the same time, two of
the divisions on a destroyer OF the
Training Fleet and one on the Eagle
Boat 56, now stationed at Baltimore,
Md, as training ship for that unit.

are ordered, and also that the Govern
