Here to Train Reserves
U. S. S. Leary Is Expected to Arrive Here
Next Week to Remain for About
Two Months.
YAVAL RESERVISTS in the

n YAVAL RESERVISTS in the
N local battalion were enthuSed
VI last week over the announce
i Y ment that the u. S. destroyer
Leary would come here for q
period of a little more than two
months, during which time she will
be used each drill night by the citizen
sailors for training purposes. 1t will
give them a much better opportunity
to prepare for their annual inspection
and for the training cruises than
would be possible with the arrange
ments in the armory.
The ship, it was said, now is at
Norfolk, and is due to arrive here
about January 8, tieing up at the
Washington Navy Yard. This vessel
is one of the training squadron as
signed to the reserve organizations on
the Atlantic coast on their training
cruises. Upon completion Of these
cruises the destroyers are assigned
to various areas for the purpose OF
giving the reservists an opportunity
to drill. The Leary has been assigned
to this area, and upon completing
OtllC1 AuIy llClC dbOQb 41dlNAA ~ WAL

The dates set in the drill schedule
Of the battalion for this month, 1t
was explained, are tentative As soon
as the schedule was completed a
copy was sent to the commanding
officer of the Leary to determine
whether the dates suited his itinerary
While drills have been ordered
suspended on Monday and Tuesday of
this week, the entire battalion will
be required to report for duty Wednes-
day night. Preparations will be made
for the arrival of the ship. as the
drill schedule calls for instruction in
rules Of the road and the buoyage
system Of the United States, and for
the engineer ratings instruction and
quiz on duties at emergency drills
capacity of boats, RATS, water break
ers, etc. They also will be instructed
in what to do in the engine room
and fire room at fire, collision and
abandon ship.
Starting the second week Of the
new year the organization will get
right down to training for the annual
AAloPONlAOAAb ZIG 0dIC 4OI
which has been set for April /. The
First Division will have a battle prob
lem. while the Second and Third Di-
visions, on their respective drill
nights, will be drilled on board the
Leary.
The following week also will be
given over to work on the Leary, the
deck ratings being given instruction
In hosting and lowering Of boats
leading out falls and precautions to
be used in mooring alongside dock
In all drills for the Leary the men
will be required to be mustered and
ready to march to the Leary dock by
five minutes past 8 o'clock.
Recruits and the Medical Depart
ment Detachment will drill on Mon
days, except this week, when they
will be required to report on wednes-
day night on account Of the holiday

Department several years ago when
the training squadron was formed

ship here and to other Reserve units at
regular intervals, but the Cuban and
other troubles intervened and for q
time put a stop to this as the vessels
were needed elsewhere. Last year the
destroyer Ellis was sent here for q
brief period, and the officers and men
received such valuable instruction
from their drills on board that q re-
quest was sent to the department ask
ing that q vessel be sent here at reg
ular intervals. While the department
said 1t could not do this at the present
time it nevertheless provided for the
Leary to come here for q period Of q
couple Of months.
A new recruit class will be formed
at the armory beginning on January
2. Applications for enrolment now
are being considered, and those de-
string to enter the Reserve service
should report to the battalion ad-
jutant. Enrolment in the recruit
class does not necessarily mean that
the applicant will be enlisted.
The men are required to serve in
the recruit class for period of 80
days, after which time they are per-
mitted to enlist If they are found suit
able for the service, or, il they find
that they do not like the service, they
do not have to take the final oath, it
was explained.
There is such a demand for enlist
ment in the organization at this time
that the officers find 1t possible to
Ea f,,1 - -
sonnel. Owing to the fact that the
size Of the various divisions are lin
tied by the amount Of appropriations,
the divisions cannot enlist every one
who applies. Although, those found
eligible after service in the recruit
class are kept on an eligible List until
vacancies occur.
Examinations for promotion in
grade will be held by the Communica-
tions Reserve Division during the
coming week. it was announced at the

District Of Columbia; Unit 2, Virginia,
and Unit Maryland Unit COM
manders and executive officers will be
temporarily assigned.
Naval Volunteer Reserve officers
also are expected to resume their
training work shortly after the be-
ginning Of the year. Although these
officers are not required to put in any
time at drill, Lieut.. Comdr. r. W.
Benson, U. S. NJ, instructor of the
local Reserves, has mapped out an In
struction program designed to 3ndoc-
trinate these officers with the prac-
tices of the Navy. He has received an
excellent response to his requests for
attendance at the lectures and talks
provided by experts on naval subjects,
and he also takes them on tours Of
inspections of the various naval &C
tivities not only in this city but In
