RESERVE VESSEL
HELD NEED HERE
Local Citizen Sailors Point
to Lack of Training
Facilities.

Ofhcers of the LIST Battalion, United
States Naval Reserves in the District
of Columbia. are making efforts to
have assigned here for training pur-
poses vessel commensurate with the
size Of the organization They also
want vessel which they can use
effectively during the Winter months,
when it is impossible to leave the
small launch now at their disposal in
the water because of danger from
damage by ice forming in the Ana
costa River.
1t was reported that they have
made efforts to have assigned here
one Of the l00-foot patrol boats turned
over to the Navy Department some
time ago by the Coast Guard because
that service had no further use for
them, since prohibition enforcement
problems were wiped out by the pas
sage Of the liquor amendment. 1t
was said that q number of these
boats had been assigned to Naval
Reserve organizations throughout the
country, but that so far the District
Reservists have been unable to exert
enough pressure to have one of the
vessels assigned here for training
purposes, although it Is one Of the
greatest needs of the organization.
Except for the two weeks training
that the local Reservists receive aboard
a destroyer Of the active feet during
the Summer months their training
aboard surface craft is practically nil.
as the small launch is inadequate to
accommodate a sufficient number 60
give much practical use except for
the teaching of certain phases of sea-
manship. At some periods destroyer
is sent here for several weeks which
the Reservists are permitted to use
for drill purposes while tied up to a
dock at the Washington Navy Yard.
but not for cruising purposes.
The assignment of a vessel here, 1t
was said, would permit the local Re-
servists to keep at the highest point
of training, because cruising on the
Potomac would materially improve
their morale and keep them in con-
slant knowledge Of their important
duties aboard a cruising ship. While
they formerly had a destroyer here. 1t
was taken away when the department
found it necessary to cut expenses OF
Reserve funds in order to have enough
to pay for the training of the units
in the armory and at sea during the
two weeks annual training period.

COAST ARTILLERY
PLANS ROAD TRIP
Local Militia Unit to Go
Overland to Fort On.
tario, N. Y.

Brigade headquarters Of the Ma
tional Guard of the District of Co
lumbia announced during the week
that the 260th Regiment Of Coast
Artillery, commanded by Lieut.. Col.
Walter w. Burns, will have one Of the
most interesting field training assign
ments of any of the local units during
the coming Summer. Tentative plans
are being made to send this unit an
anti-aircraft outfit, on a road hike of
approximately 1000 miles to Fort On
tario, N. Y.
1t was said that while definite
date has not been set for the training
period, that it would be subsequent to
July /. The time depends, it was said,
on when sufficient motor vehicles to
carry the force can. be obtained from
Regular Army and other militia units,
as the outfit does not have SUFFICIENT
motive equipment Of its own TO carry
out such a project. This movement
will be quite change for the organi1a-
ton, which usually takes its field
training at Fort Monroe, Va. although
a couple of years ago it did participate
in a road maneuver which extended
through Maryland and Virginia
1t was indicated as being unlikely
that the local organization would take
any Of its anti-aircraft guns and
searchlights, as these we're said to be
mounted on equipment which was
turned out during the World War, and
1t was doubted whether 1t would sus-
tain the strain of a l,000-mile trip
over the road. Furthermore. the or
ganization viii have an opportunity to
use the equipment at Fort Ontario.
The equipment now used by this
organization is said to be obsolete, as
the modern equipment now used by
the Army has many features unheard
of at the time the present National
Guard equipment was turned out.
Sufficient funds have not been pro-
vided by Congress to provide the mile
tiamen with the modern equipment,
which includes larger searchlights.
smaller and more powerful generators
and sound direction equipment.
However, the proposed maneuver
will provide a test of the mobility Of
the organization in time of war, de-
spite the fact that 1t will not have tn
guns and searchlights along.

War Secretary Approves Change
Affecting Reserve Re.
appointments.

The approval by the Secretary OF
War of changes in existing reserve
regulations which will permit the re-
appointment Of reserve officers at the
end of their first five years Of COM
missioned service without the physi-
cal examination heretofore required,
will be q welcome announcement to
all reservists. In view of the fact
that second lieutenants are physically
examined as Reserve Officers Train
ing Corps trainees, also upon their
being commissioned as reserve officers
and on each occasion Of active duty
training thereafter, it is believed that
ample information exists as to their
physical condition. The requirement
of physical examination as a condi-
ton for the first reappointment only
has therefore been removed.
