The provisional division of Naval
Reservists composed of those men
who have applied for authority to
take the tests for appointment to
the United States Naval Academy,
from the Reserve, was taken aboard
the new U. S. destroyer Jouett last
week, when she was at the WASH
ington Navy Yard. The ship is en-
gagged on q shake-down cruise, pre-
paratory to assuming her regular
duty with the destroyer squadrons
of the feet.
Ensign H. Arthur Lamar, COM
mander of the division, and who
personally conducted them on their
visit to the Jouett, announced that
these young men will take their tests
for the academy on April 81 next.
Although there are more than q
hundred members Of the local bat
talon who will take the tests there
are also hundreds in other units
throughout the country who are
seeking the coveted posts, which are
awarded on q competitive basis.
Congress last year increased the
number of appointments to so, and
it is now believed that the local
Reservists will capture the greater
number, as they have in the past.
In addition to those allocated to
them by law, the Reservists who pass
the examinations, but who do not
come within the top so in their aver
ages, but who make passing marks,
are eligible to appointments not
filled by enlisted men from the
Regular Establishment. In some
cases in the past also men who have
captured Naval Reserve appoint
ments also have obtained congress
sional appointments, and they usu-
ally accept the latter and waive their
Reserve appointments, which makes
another vacancy for enlisted Re
servists.

1 1889 VETERAN GRAVES
LOCATED In COUNTY

When Morgan county residents
pay tribute on Memorial day to
their service dead, they will be able
this year to place flowers and flags
at the graves of many more veterans
of U. S. wars than ever before, and
in more cemeteries than they knew
existed in the county.
There are approximately 1880
graves Of veterans, located in 1874
cemeteries in the county, and 50 OF
these are the last resting place Of
men who served in the World war,
according to O. A. Richardson,
foreman Of the WPA grave registra-
900 men to service in the conflict
that ended in 1918.
Foreman Richardson and his aides
found graves of veterans of six wars,
uprisings and instructions in which
the United States participated Many
of these graves, and some ceme-
teries, were located through help

the deceased and other relatives or

graves again show that the postwar
period was a time of migration and
resettlement. In general, only half
of the graves of known Civil war
veterans from any one county have
been found in that county. In this
county, 1850 of their graves have
been found in county cemeteries.
The earliest recorded burial found
by the WPA workers was that of F..
