The lecture given last week by
Comdr. Strubel, U. s. N, to the Of
f1cers was said to have witnessed the
largest attendance since this series
was started under the direction of
1t. Comdr. Charles B. McVay, 3d.
U. S. N, officer in charge OF Naval
Reserve activities in this area. While
these lectures were arranged pri-
marily to interest the volunteer Re-
serve officers in getting some training
and instruction in the naval service
they have proved very attractive to
the Fleet Reserve officers, who at
tend them in addition to attending
one drill week with their divisions.
Reserve officers last week expressed
hope that Congress during the ap-
preaching regular session will give
serious consideration to the plight
OF a number Of young officers of the
Reserve who are in positions of re-
sponsibility, but who are prevented
from getting higher rank because of
stagnation in the top Of the officer
line.
The Fleet Reserve now has in it
officers who have been for long time
in the grade of lieutenant and who
feel that they should be provided with
the opportunity of promotion to the
higher grades. Furthermore, some
officers have under consideration the
problem Of leaving the feet branch
and getting appointments in other
branches where they will have oppor-
tunity for greater advancement and
higher rank. There are many officers
who were in the service in relatively
high rank during the World War, and
it is these who are keeping down the
promotions Of the younger officers, it
was explained. On the other hand,
it Is known that the department con-
siders that these officers are valuable
to their organizations, some of them
lieutenant commanders, commanding
divisions. Their services could we'll
be used in the case of conflict for the
purposes Of recruiting and organiza-
ton on the shore, but at the same
time they are keeping the positions
promotions all along the line.
The department appears to be
cognizant also of the fact that many
Of the Reserve officers who are keep
ing down promotion are valuable to
the Reserve and the naval establish
ment through their ability, with thor
ough knowledge of local conditions, to
keep the organizations at top notch.
But that does not help the morale and
the esprit for the young and enthu-
siastic officer who can see nothing
ahead Of him but work and respon-
sibility as long as the present system
prevails.
The reservists would like to see
some change in the law which would
make it possible to place a fleet officer
in the volunteers or otherwise pro-
vide for them if he is past the age
where those of similar rank in the
regular establishment are younger. 1t
Is the age in grade provision which
has been troublesome matter to
all OF the forces for years, and fur
nishes a serious problem. Obviously,
it was pointed out, there is not room
at the top for all who might be
qualified for promotion, and in order
TO prevent stagnation and loss of in
terest in the lower ranks some hope
must be held out to them for pro-
motion.

in the commissioned branch. It is ex-
pected an announcement will be made
this week of the successful candidates.
The board was composed of Maj.
Sidney Morgan, inspector generals de
partment: Capt. George F. Harbin,
plans and training officer of the 121st
Engineers; Capt. Hugh Everett of the
29th Division troops, and Capt. Mar
tin of the 260th Coast Artillery.
The State staff and the division
staff were engaged last week in work
ing on problem respecting the staff
duties of each branch. The exercise,
it was explained, is follow-up on
the work done by the members of the
two stats during their work with
the Regular troops in the exercise.
Orders have been received from
Sd Corps Area Headquarters at Bal
timore, Md, for the Guard to make
recommendations of dates on which
the annual inspections are to be
conducted Of the local troops during
the first part of the new year.
The Guard officials, it was said, will
recommend that all of the Guard in
spections be held during March. While
this will require some overlapping of
inspections Of some of the units, it
was added the militia officials would
consider it great benefit if they could
get the inspections during one month,
instead of having them cover a period
of six weeks or more. The corps at
headquarters has to have the dates
some time in advance in order to
make the necessary arrangements for
the Regular officers to make the in
spections.
There is also some question as to
whether the Guard units will be able
to 20 into their field training camps
on the dates which have been tenta-
lively selected. There is q matter
of dates to be worked out for the 260th
Coast Artillery, which is to go to
Fort Story, Va, near Virginia Beach.
It was said the dates selected conflict
with Virginia and Pennsylvania artil-
lery units.
A slight change has been made
in the proposed dates for the in
struction program in the field of the
10th Division Staff and the 29th
Division Headquarters troops from
this city. Maj Gen. Milton A. Reckord,
commanding the division, has sug-
gested these units have their mobile
camp in the vicinity of Front Royal,
Va, the latter part of July rather
than the latter part of that month
and the first of August. This change
was made necessary, it was said, as
the motor equipment would not be
available on the dates selected, as the
units from which it is to be bor-
rowed will be using it in their own
annual encampments.

Separate Divisional Tests
Ordered for Local Reserve
Rigid Examinations to Be Conducted
by Local Officers Shortly After
First of Ne,u Year.

A series Of special divisional in
spections for the 1st Battalion, United
States Naval Reserves in the District
OF Columbia, early In January was
announced last week by 1t. James E.
Sullivan, commander. They will be
held to determine the progress which
has been made by the men both as
individuals and as divisional organ
izations during the past year and are
preliminary to and distinct from the
annual inspection to be held later in
the winter before board of regular
naval officers.
This series Of tests will be ex-
haustive, and to insure this 1t. Sui
livan has issued instructions that the
regular battalion assembly will be
abandoned for the week selected for
the inspections and each division will
come alone on the night determined
for its inspection. This, 1t was ex-
planned, will give the board of officers
more time in which to carry out the
details and to observe every feature
Of the tests, which will include drills,
exercises. equipment and personnel.
The tests will be conducted by a
special board Of Naval Reserve off,
GERS, the personnel of which has not
yet been named by the battalion COM
mander, but it will be announced
prior to the first or second week in
January. The board will be expected
to make notes on any faults that they
ind in order that in the future drills
arrangements can be made in drill
schedule to correct them, with view
to getting the organization as near to
perfect as it Is humanity possible to
get them.
Uniforms and equipment will be
given particular attention, it was in
dicated, and those officers and men
who are found to have such which
does not make a good appearance in
formation will be given specific in
structions to get the matter corrected,
so that the same faults will not be
shown up at the annual inspection
by the regular officers of the depart
ment.
Each Of the divisions on its inspec-
tion night will be handed a difficult
battle problem to handle, in which
an actual destroyer engagement will
be simulated, with numerous gun and
engineering casualties. The officers
in this exercise also must show how
they would maneuver the ship during
the engagement and how they would
take care Of the casualties as various
parts Of equipment are put out of
service either from failures or hits
from the enemy"
In addition there will be all Of the
emergency drills, including fire, COL
lision and abandon ship drills AL
though all men are required to know
first aid, and are constantly being
instructed in it, only certain number
will be selected at random during
these inspections to show their ef-
ficiency.
Certain selected officers and petty
officers will be given written tests
on professional and technical sub
jects in their line. The officers will
be required to take the written exam
nations. The petty officers will be
required to show that during the
years training they have kept up with
the latest in the technical work of
their special lines.
