HEN tne TWO neet DIVISIONS
n of the LIST Battalion of
" " United States Naval Re-
serves in the District of
Columbia return to the Navy Yard
next Friday aboard the two destroyers.
all of the men will have completed
their annual training for the year.
The battalion then will settle down
to prepare for the annual inspection.
when they hope 10 move to the top
of the list of such organizations
throughout the country.
The commanding officer is mapping
out rigid drill and school program
which is expected to keep in practice
the work which the men learned
while serving two weeks aboard the
destroyers. However all Of the prac-
tical work will have to be performed
with the make-shift facilities which
have been set up in the armory
building in the Washington Navy
Yard, as the local outfit does to have
a ship assigned to them for drill work
during the year.
There is possibility vessel might
be assigned here for several months
for drill purposes. but in the past
when this has been done. it was said.
the men have not found 1t very sat-
isfactory.
The Navy Department has pointed
out competition among members of
the Naval and Marine Corps Reserves
for the 25 appointments to the United
States Military Academy each year is
quite keen. This was evidenced, it
was said. by the marks made by the
successful candidates. A statement of
the department showed the following
marks for the leading man: Geometry,
40 which is perfect algebra. 80;
English. "a; United States history,
3.8, ancient history, 40; physics, 81;
average. $50. The 25 men made the
following marks: Geometry, 40; al
zebra, 81; English, 80; United States
history, 3.3; ancient history, 3.5;
physics, 3.3; average, 337.
Naval Reservists probably will have
to wait until the next regular session
of Congress in order to again try for
legislation amending the present
Naval Reserve act, and, Furthermore,
unless the Budget Bureau changes
its decision on the legislation, Oon-
gress will have to act on its own.
Two bills, the Navy Department bill
and another which was introduced by
Representative Mas. who is a Re-
servist. and almost identical with the
Navy's bill. both met obstacles in the
Budget Bureau, which ruled that
neither was in conformity with the
Presidents financial program. OF
course. with this force standing in
the way, it was explained, nothing
can be done by the department about
the matter, but there is nothing to
prevent Congress going ahead itself.
In view of the fact that Naval Re-
serve organizations are behind the
legislation, there is a possibility some
OF them will get in some work with
their congressman to impress upon
them the need for making changes in
the law SO that the efficiency of the
Reserve may be raised.
The Navy Department announced
1t has under consideration the organ
lzatIon of a naval yachting auxiliary.
About two months ago, it was said.
number of prominent yachting clubs,
associations and individuals interested
In power pleasure boats were circular
1zed with view to finding some basis
on which use might be made of this po-
tential reserve by the Navy Depart
ment in time of emergency.

The Navy Department has recentlv
maugurated the recruiting Of enlisted
men for the Merchant Marine Naval
Reserve. Previously, no enlisted man
had been enrolled in this class. AT
present this activity is being conducted
by Lieut.. Comdr. c. S. Bookwalter.
U. s. N. r., at New York, under the
general supervision of the COM
mandant of the Sd Naval District.
The Navy Departments program
calls for the gradual development Of
this class of the Naval Reserve until
lts strength reaches 5000 officers bv
l940 and $4,000 men by 1912. The de-
partment feels strongly that a trained
merchant marine naval reserve is es-
sential in order that these officers and
men may provide the compliments for
such merchant ships as may be oper-
ated by the Navy as auxiliaries in time
of war.
The following changes in personnel
