RESERVE MEETING
IS PLANNED HERE
Annual Naval Convention
Is Set for January
7, 8 and 9.

Although . Navy Department con-
ference Of naval and Naval Reserve
officers have just completed thresh-
ing out proposed changes in the law
under which the Reserve operates. the
whole matter is expected to be again
thrown into the limelight when the
Naval Reserve ofiicers OF the United
States holds Its annual convention
here.
The convention will be held Jsnu-
ary Z, and Q. Lieut.. w. Croft Jen-
nings, president Of the local chapter
has appointed Lieut.. Charles H. VIII
nams as general chairman Of the con-
vention. Assisting him will be Lieut..
J. NJ. Fevell, Lieut.. W. 3. Armstrong.
Lieut.. J. P. Wetherell. Ensign r. J.
Lemly and Ensign H. A. Lamar.
Attending the convention will be q
number of Reserve officers from vari-
Gus parts OF the country who did not
attend the conference at the Navy
Department.
ne RESERVE ASSOCIATION Is SApSCIeQ
to again go into the question of hav-
ing q separate bureau in the Navy
Department to handle Naval Reserve
affairs, to be headed by Reserve
officer for q term of years, fashioned
after the National Guard bureau in
the War Department. They also are
seeking to put over the idea that the
Navy Department should have another
assistant secretary, whose work would
be confined to directing Naval Reserve
affairs. In this particular phase Of
their recommendations they have met
with strong opposition from the Navy
Department. and 1t Is expected that
If the convention insists on this point
the whole matter will be thrown into
committees In Congress. It has been
expected the conference between Re-
servists and naval officers would settle
the question so that when the matter
is presented to Congress there would
be q united front. thus greasing the
ways for early passage Of the pro-
posed legisla ton.

TO HONOR
3 ENLISTED men

Three enlisted men Of the National
Guard will be awarded meritorious
service medals. These medals are

ceptional proficiency in the admin
istration Of his office. thorough knowl-
edge of military regulations and pro-
cedure and untiring efforts to assist
In the establishment and maintenance
of the 12lst Engineer headquarters
Office on the highest plane.
1t further says his devotion of many
hours weekly, normally hours of leisure
for others, to National Guard duty
has contributed to the consistently
high ratings secured by his regimental
headquarters at armory and field in
spections and to the efficiency and
reputation OF the National Guard in
such manner as to warrant public
recognition of his soldierly qualities
and ability: with the knowledge that
his example of service. loyalty and de-
votion to duty is an inspiration to all
members Of the District Of Columbia
National Guard.
OF Sergt. Goen, the citation says
through his outstanding qualities Of
leadership. profound enthusiasm and
devotion to duty he has assisted In
the efficient maintenance Of Company
d, 12lst Engineers, and through as
sociation with other non-commis-
stoned officers Of the 12lst Engineers
and the Guard has materially bene-
fitted the National Guard as q whole.
1t goes on to say activities Of every
character, including military, athletic,
recreational and social, have been par
ticipated in by Sergt. Goen in such
manner that his keen sense of respon-
sibility, his organization ability and
his energetic influence for successful
achievement have resulted in higher
standards and greater efiiciency within
the organization. which, in turn, have
invoked favorable public commenda-
ton.

Naval Reservists Make
Plans for Annual Tests
instruction Program Ordered Revised to
Prepare for Navy Department
Board.
Board.

TINE LIST Battalion, United States
Naval Reserve, District Of
Columbia, will launch into
= its divisional training and
gun crew work this week. A. the
annual inspection by . board OF
regular officers from the Navy De-
partment will be held . few months
after the new year.
The commanding oficer, Lieut..
James L. Sullivan, explained that up
until the present time, and since the
annual cruise, the instruction Of the
battalion has been confined almost
wholly to individuals. But with the
approach OF the annual inspection
date this must give way TO the team
work drills. These tests include
battle drills, gunnery training, aban-
don ship. collision, and other emer-
gency tests.
While the training for the most
part will be given In the armory.
the Reservists will probably fnd it
possible to freshen up on actual drill
work aboard ship when the destroyer
Leary arrives here next month.
The Bureau of Navigation, Navy
Department, has called attention OF
Reserve units throughout the country
that men are being enlisted In the
Reserve which subsequent investigation
shows have police records. The in
formation comes as q result of routine
investigations Of fngerprints made by
the Federal Bureau OF Investigation.
The letters calling attention TO the
findings are sent to the commanding
officers OF the men concerned for
investigation and comment, with q
view toward discharging the men as
undesirable.
The bureau says that in many cases
II appears that, while the offenses
were of . minor character. the men
have denied in their applications for
enlistment that they have ever been
arrested. These denials. the bureau
pointed out. constitute fraudulent
enlistments.

Navy has recently completed q course
Of instruction at the United States
Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.
Upon his detachment he made the
following statement relative to his i'm
preston Of the aviation cadets:
Concerning the standard Of dis.
cipline, believe that 1t Is especially
high. and was particularly struck
with the facilities with which the
cadet students who enter from civil
life adapt themselves to the require
ments Of military life to the point
that at the end of q few weeks It Is
difficult to believe that they have not
been trained at Annapolis.
Although a great part Of this Is
due to the efforts Of the oficer in
charge Of military instruction, be-
lieve that this Job is enormously ia
cilitated by the fact that the cadets
are fine examples Of the youth Of the
United States. naturally disciplined
and endowed with high standard Of
culture"
Figures made public by the Navy
Department show there are ali Naval
Reserve officers on active duty with

ations. five Of whom are from the
