Reserve Officers
Here Show Interest
In Chemical Warfare
Large Group
Expected to Seek
Edqewood instruction

Considerable interest Is being
shown by some Of the officers of the
Naval Reserve in the opportunity
being offered to attend classes In
chemical warfare which are to be
gisen at the Army Chemical Warfare
Schtol at Edgewood Arsenal, Md.
It was explained that chemical
operations will be an important fea-
ture of any future conflicts, and
while the naval establishment did
not have this to contend with in the
World War. nevertheless they should
be trained in its operations In the
future. Those who attend the classes
will be given both the offensive and
defensive features.
The classes will be held during
the last three weeks next month, and
1t is open to officers in both the Or
ganized and volunteer classes. All
who participate will receive the pay
of their grades while on this duty
For the volunteers it may be the
only duty provided during the year,
although 1t is believed that efforts
will be made to make cruises pos
sible for the volunteer officers, par
ticularly those qualified for ship
board duty and who would be avail
able for general service in time Of a
national emergency.
1t was pointed out by Reserve Off
GERS that training will be stressed
during the approaching year, and
the department will provide as much
cruising opportunity as the funds
will permit.
There Is a possibility, it was said,
that If the present European situa-
ton continues more officers will be
offered an opportunity for active
duty. Those who have accepted
active service, under the limited
emergency proclamation of the
President, are to serve for a year,
unless needed for longer period.
A number of officers of the local
reserve now are on active duty, most
OF them serving on ships of the neu-
trality patrol. Not few of them
are right at home on the ships per-
forming this duty, the destroyer, as
most of their training duty has
been on ships of this class, because
OF the fact that under the organiza-
ton plan each division of the local
battalion is formed on the basis of
providing the nucleus of a destroyer
crew in time of a full emergency
Because of the fact that most of the
destroyers now in full commits
sion are engaged on neutrality pa
troll duty this year, the local bat
talon will have to take its annual
cruise as a battalion unit aboard a
battleship.
