OFFICERS NEEDED
FOR INACTIVE LIST
Vacancies Now Exist in the Ma.
tional Guard of United
States.

Young men interested in serving
their country in time Of war, but who
have not the time to spare to actively
drill with the Militia, may find outlet
in commissions in the inactive Ma
tional Guard, or the so-called Ma
tional Guard of the United States.
In the local militia there are many
vacancies and in order to get them
filled instructions have been sent to
the unit commanders suggesting they
invite to the attention of the enlisted
men OF their respective commands the
fact that they can obtain commissions
while still serving in their enlisted
capacity.
In the event of an emergency these
enlisted men would Immediately as
sumo their officer status and in the
units with which they had been serv-
ing. The number Of officers on the
active National Guard lists are limited,
and it was stated in the ranks of the
Guard are many young men who are
fine officer material but who cannot
be advanced because OF the limitations.
However, in order to have this officer
force ready in time war, provision has
been made for their appointment in
the National Guard Of the United
States, and If called to the colors they
would enter the service as commits
stoned officers in the ranks they hold
at the time Of the call.
It was asserted that there are va
cancies on the inactive Guard list here
in the following arms of the service:
Engineers. Coast Artillery. Quarter
master Corps, Ordnance Department,
Medical Department, Chaplain Corps
and Infantry.
Those not now connected with the
Militia who are interested in getting
a commission in this branch Of the
National Guard may get further in
formation on the matter by applying
to the headquarters, which Is located
In the main armory at Sixth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV.
In the event Of war the size Of the
local commands would be increased
materially and there would be COM
mauds for the inactive Guard omcsrs,

Principal hardwoods represented are
white oak, burr oak, green ash, black
locust and blackberry, while scotch
pine, western yellow pine and red
cedar are the most common conifers.
Black locusts are widely used for
gully control work because they grow
well in poor soil and have thick inter-

ton Unit Command.

All three divisions of the local
Naval Reserve will resume their bat
talon drills on Tuesday, after having
been separated last week to report
on separate nights to conduct tests
to determine the fitness CT each di-
vision to appear before the Naval In
specton Board.
The tests were conducted under
the direction Of It. Comdr. Charles
B. McVay, Sd, U. S. NJ, Inspector
instructor. Each division was called
on separate night to give opportunity
for a critical examination. Comdr.
McVay will inform the division COM
manders of the points to be stressed
between now and the time for the
naval board to appear. in order for
them to get high marks under the
critical eyes of the board. He said,
following completion Of all Of the
inspections, that the divisions Showed
Improvement"
Following the personnel inspection
each division was put through the
manual Of arms and infantry, fok
lowed by general quarters and
battle problem. This latter is a
matter which will be stressed more
than ever by the Inspection Board
this year, it was said, plans being
made to require at least two divisions
to give a demonstration of their ability
to do it, instead of only one repre-
sentative division, as in the past. This
particular drill is the height of Naval
Reserve training, being that feature
which actually takes the ship into
battle and engages the enemy.
The men were later assigned as
though they were aboard ship under
way. and successive emergency drills
were conducted In rapid-fire order.
After the group work. written exam
nations were conducted, this follow
ing a practice which will be covered
by the Regular officers when they
appear at the armory.
During the remainder of the month
these inspection drills will be a fea-
ture of the schedule.
Although the local battalion has so
candidates among the enlisted men
for appointments to the United States
Naval Academy this year it was in
dicated last week that they will have
little opportunity of getting one of the
coveted appointments, even if they
get in the top group as a result of
the educational examinations.
Many of them, it was said will 20
out OF the race on their physical ex-
animation as result of the new
regulation for entrance, which re-
quires that the eyes of each candidate
be refracted, instead of getting Just
the ordinary sight tests as has been
done in the past. The new regula-
tion came about because it has been
found a number of young men who
succeeded in gaining admission to
the naval school developed serious
eye defects during the four years of
the course.
1t Is expected efforts will be made
at the current session of Congress to
have the number of cadetships at the
academy for the reserve increased to
so. The Navy Department favors the
increase, because with the increase in
the number of ships during the past

Officers Of the battalion are PLAN

vince the Navy Department of the de-
STABILITY Of having a larger vessel
here for training purposes. They
want ship large enough to accom-
modate on each week end the large
number of enlisted men who volun-
teer for training cruises. They have
suggested that one of the lOO-foot
patrol boats turned over to the Navy
by the Coast Guard would not only
accommodate all who desired to 20
each week end, but would provide
better facilities for broader steaming
training than now is available aboard
the 50-foot launch which has been
here for several years as q training
vessel.
Reservists are beginning to turn
their attention to the annual training
cruises this summer. As yet the de-
partment has not announced any
plans for these voyages
1t is probable, however, the cruises
will be aboard destroyers Of the Train
ing Squadron. because each division
Is organized to form the nucleus of
a destroyer crew if called into the
service in time of an emergency.
However, there is group of naval
officials who believe that after a
number OF these cruises the Reservists
should receive some training aboard
battleships of the Training Squadron
to give them a viewpoint of the vast
difference in the operation of the two
types of vessels.
Volunteer Reservists. who are not
required to take training cruises. are
looking to the present Congress to
make some provision in the appropria-
tions for giving them an opportunity
to take training this year under the
same conditions as provided for the
fleet Reservists. There never has been
any provision for giving annual cruises
to the volunteer Reserve officers. with
the pay and allowances. However, the
Navy Department has offered oppor-
tunities to these officers to take cruises,
but they not only have had to meet
their travel expenses. but their ex-
penses of messing aboard the ship to
which they have been attached for
training purposes.
The recommendation has been made
that Congress provide funds each year
sufficient to give training cruises to
at least one-fourth of the number
enrolled in the volunteer branch of
the Reserve.
