Communication Reserves
Praised for Flood Work
Volunteer Duty Held More Than Justifes
Expense of Training
Stations.

n laval communication Reservists
nj came in for high praise for
their work in maintaining
A radio communication during
the flood emergency. and the depart
ment has expressed the opinion that
the results have more than justified
the expense.
The chief Of naval operations COM
plimented the commandant and the
communication Reserve organization
OF the eighth naval district upon the
manner in which the emergency was
met and the success Of the emergency
circuits. 1t is considered, he said,
that the comparatively nominal ex-
pense which was involved In the pur-
chase and installation Of these Re-
serve radio training stations has been
more than justified by their usefulness
during the flood emergency alone and
without regard to their value from
the standpoint OF training for
mobilization.
Recently the commandant Of the
third naval district issued to all naval
Reserve officers in that district a
circular letter, containing a detailed
description Of the correspondence
courses offered by the Bureau of
Navigation to Naval Reserve officers
and the advantages to be derived from
study OF these courses. AS a result
lot requests for enrolment in the
courses were received within a period
OF two weeks.
The bureau conducts the following
courses: Enlisted men who are rec
commended by their commanding Off
GERS to be Of officer caIiber are also
permitted to enroll in these courses !:
Navy regulations, military law naviga-
ton, two courses, A and B, seaman
ship, gunnery, visual communications
engineering, international law and
naval intelligence.
The satisfactory completion of any
one OF these courses with an average
mark OF 3.4 or better within a period
OF two years prior to the date that ex-
~NNA~AA~eAoAA' AVA ~ ale Ouc may
be accepted by the Naval Examining
Board In lieu Of the examination for
promotion in that subject. In order
for candidate for promotion to the
rank Of lieutenant q. g. to be excused
from an examination in navigation
it is only necessary that he satisfac-
torily complete the course in naviga-
ton B. Candidates for the higher
grades must complete both navigation
B and A.
The successful completion of any Of
these correspondence courses may be
accepted by the Bureau of Navigation
in lieu of a two-week training period
in cases where requests for training
duty are refused on account Of lack of
funds or for other reasons.
The Bureau Of Supplies and Ac-
counts conducts correspondence
course for officers Of the Supply Corps
Reserve, which officers of the Volun-
teer Supply Corps class are required

to complete prior to transfer 10 the
general class.
The Bureau Of Yards and Docks con-
ducts a correspondence course for ON
GERS OF the Civil Engineer Corps Re-
serve. All newly appointed officers in
this class must complete this course,
which Is also available to other than
newly appointed officers Of the special
Volunteer Civil Engineer group.

courses in strategy and tactics and In
international law.
The Bureau Of Navigation core
spondence courses are conducted by

The Navy Department points out
there appears to be some msunder-
standing on the part of some Re-
servists as to the conditions under
which gold chevrons and gold service
stripes may be worn by Naval Re-
serve petty officers. 1t was pointed
out Reservists are entitled to wear
the service stripes on account of
Naval Reserve service, the same as on
account of regular naval service,
whether or not such Naval Reserve
service Is performed in an inactive
duty status. However, inactive duty
in the Naval Reserve may not be
counted toward the right to wear gold
service stripes.
The reason for this, 1t was explained,
Is that Naval Reservists in an inactive
duty status have no opportunity for
earning good conduct awards or for
receiving continuously the required
marks. The same applies to the
wearing Of the gold chevrons. Naval
ReServists in continuous active duty
status, such as ship keepers or sta
ton keepers, are entitled to wear the
gold service stripes under the same
conditions as apply to members OF the
regular establishment, it was added.

POTOMAC FLOOD
CONTROL DELAYED
Division Engineer Declines Al
lotments for Four Projects
in Basin.

No work will be done this year on
the four flood-control projects a.
ready approved by Congress for the
Potomac Basin at Cumberland. Moore
field, w. Va, Harpers Ferry and Wash
ington.
This report was received yesterday at
the office of the Chief of Engineers. z.
S. Army from Col. Earl I. Brown, d.
vision Engineer in Richmond.
The theory was advanced by upofi-
cial but authoritative sources today
that allotments for the four projects
we're refused by the division engineer
because new considerations in flood
control have arisen at the four points
since the floods of 1885 and 1887
Although the division engineer is
usually the one TO grant or refuse
funds for projects in his district. un-
official sources said, the decision to
withhold came direc3 ~ from Mai. Gen.
E. NJ Markham, chief of Army Engi-
neers.
Flood control for the Potomac VAL
ley was first authorized in an omni-
bus flood control bill in 1886. At that
time the four above e-mentioned projects
were adopted. Some 30 projects and
recommendations at present are in
cluded in report made by the U. S
Engineer Office here, headed by Mai
Walter D. LuploW.
