Flag below the Stars and Stripes.

Improvement Is Shown
By Naval Reserve Unit
Navy Yard Commandant Consratulates Bat
talon on Boards Report of Recent
Annual Inspection.
FFICERs and enlisted men Of

~ FFICERs and enlisted men Of
I the 1st Battalion, United
States Naval Reserves of the
~ District of Columbia, had
much cause for jubilation
last week when the report Of the
board Of regular naval officers which
made the annual inspection the pre-
vious week was received at the local
armory. The board reported in the
terse, naval language, that the bat
talon had shown material improve
ment In all respects over the previous
annual inspection.
OF course, there we're other details
OF the report which have not yet been
digested by the Reserve officers, but
the fact that the board commented
in this way shows that the strenuous
program which was laid down by
Lieut.. Sullivan, commander Of the Or
ganization, had borne fruit.
Lieut.. Sullivan, 1t was explained, as
sumed command of the organization
under a cloud of the last annual re-
port, which was severe reflection
upon the preparedness Of the local
organization. This report was fol-
lowed by a general shake-up in the
commissioned personnel of the bat
talon, out Of which came the ap-
pointment Of Lieut.. Sullivan as COM
mander.
In the face of this report, which he
thoroughly studied, he, with the aid
Of Lieut.. Comdr. Benson, U. S. Navy
sent here as inspector instructor, laid
down a very strenuous program which
was strictly adhered to, with the re-
suit that the organization came
through the inspection with as fine
a report as 1t has ever had. Not only
was the training work carried on dur
ing the year, but schools were estab-
lished, officers and enlisted men were
required to take the correspondence
courses, and thousands Of dollars
worth OF ship equipment was set up
in the armory, to simulate, as much
as possible, shipboard conditions.
The organization has really been
fitted out in an excellent way, and Is
able to have many drills now, which
we're not possible before. This work
became almost a necessity in view OF
the fact that the organization had
not been to sea for two years, one
year on account of economic condi-
tions which resulted in the with
drawal OF training cruise funds, and
last year on account OF the Cuban
troubles, which necessitated with
drawing the ships from Reserve train
Ing duty to send them TO the Cuban
waters during the emergency.
Rear Admiral J. r. Defrees, q. B.
Navy. commandant of the Washing
| ton Navy Yard here, and under whose
direct supervision the local Reserve
battalion comes, delivered the report
of the Inspection Board with his con-
gratulatons.
With the annual inspection out OF
the way. plans are being made by
Lieut.. Sullivan to carry on the train
ing work throughout the rest Of the
year, or until it becomes time to make
preparations for the annual cruises.
Since the inspection the organization
has had the use Of the Destroyer Ellis.
and during the next several weeks the
members will be trained aboard her,
which will be a form Of preparation
for the annual cruises and target
practice.
