bers of the Fleet Reserve, that group
of eX-Regular enlisted men who
were transferred to this branch after
either 16 or 20 years of service.
Because of the difficulty in OBJ
tanning men with engineering de-
grees for appointment as Reserve
midShipmen, the Navy Department
has been forced to reduce the pro-
portion of selectees between those
with such degrees and those with
art degrees.
One OF the reasons for wanting
the engineers, it was said, is, be-
cause of their technical background,
they would be better able to master
the intricate technical details of the
work aboard the ships at sea, and
furthermore, it has been found that
in the past those who did not have
some mathematical work in their
college course, found it difficult to
master the Navy's course in celes-
tlal navigation. In the light of the
heavy demand of the other services,
and even other branches than the
line, in the Navy, for engineers, it
was said to be possible that the
Navy may have to take the arts de-
gree in an emergency and so change
its course as to instruct them in
some mathematics and engineering.
This would involve, it was explained,
either a lengthenlng of the course,
which is now three months, or cut
| ting out some of the other subjects,
which now are considered essential.
Colleges Are Searched.
The men who now are being Sc
lected, it was said, will not be re-
quired to report for duty until Sep
tember, at one of the three schools
where these courses are held-North-
western University, the United
| States Naval Academy and U. S. S.
Prairie State, the old demilitarized
battleship Illinois. now in the North
River, New York.
The Navy has searched about
every college throughout the cOun-
try in an effort to find men to fill
these positions. and there will not
be any more available under its
present requirements until the juno
graduations in 1912, when. Of course,
the other services will be looking
for personnel.
This demand for man power for
the armed forces also is being felt
in the enlisted ranks of the Reserve.
Whereas up until short time ago,
| the age limits for enlistment in the
Reserve was II to % years. now. i
was said. it has been widened from
II to so years for men who have
some specially which the Navy de-
sires. There is a pressing demand
now for yoemen-the typists and
stenographers for the Navy. 1t is
unable to get anything like the
| number required, and they are
needed for duty in the department
here and in all parts of the country
and particularly the outlying posts.
it was said. Men desiring to enter
this service with the purpose of
going to one of the outlying posts
can be enlisted. given active duty
and shipped away Immediately.

July of next year, it was said, which
means that if the engineers and the
special troops return home they
would have to go back into the old
building at Sixth street and Penn
sylvania avenue NV.
While other States are organiz-
ing home guards, doubt was ex-
pressed by officers at the local
Guard headquarters that any such
move would be made here. If there
should be a desire, it was said, it
would require legislation and, be-
sides, the uniforming and equip
ping would have to be supported
by the District taxpayers without
the aid of the Federal Government
as is done in the place of the active
militia.

Decision Denies Naval Reserves
Pecuniory Re-enIistment Pay
Continuous Service Required
To the End Of the Current Emergency

Naval ReserviStS who are on active
duty must forego any monetary
benefits which might accrue to them,
by virtue of the fact that their
original enlistments expired during
the time that they are serving their
country during the current emer-
gency. Orders have gone out from
the Navy Department that reservists
are not to be re-enlisted if their
enliStments expire while on active
duty, but are to be continued in the
service on their current enhstments
until formally released at the con-
cluSion of the emergency.
1t appears that at the end of an
enlistment a man is entitled to the
cost of transportation to his home
or the place of his original enlist
ment. He doesn't have 10 return to
his home, but may re-enlist on the
ship, and still be entitled to the
compensation. or, it was said further,
he might take his transportation
and go home, and then re-enliSt
again at his home station and COL
lect transportation back to his as
signment But all of this is wiped
out by the decision of the Controller
General, after study of the enlist
ment contract of Naval Reservist.
For several years, prior to the
current emergency. it was said, N
addition to the regular terms of the
enlistment contract of Naval Re-
servist, there has been stamped on
it before he signed it, q provision
that he agrees to Ser"e, II called to
active duty during an emergency, to
the end of that emergency on the
same enlistment on which he was
called to active duty Such clause
was not provided in the contracts
of enlistment for men who went
into the regular service, it was said,
so that now there is an apparent
discrimination between the men who
work side by side, performing the
same service and duty.
Transportation Cost Given.
In the case of the regular. if his
enlistment expires during the cur
rent emergency, he is entitled to
transportation home He gets this
even if he re-enlistS on the ship and
does not take advantage Of the op-
portunity to go home. Besides if he
re-enlists, if he is a chief petty
officer or a petty officer of the first
or second class he receives $50 as a
gratuity for each year of his enlist
ment which he is just concluding
He may take his transportation and
go home, and if he enlists within
three months of the date of his dis
charge, he gets this glatllity, and at
the same time is given transporta-
ton to return to the ship. Both
transportation payments are at the
rate of 5 cents mile In addition
a third-class petty Officer and a
seaman, get S25 for each year Of
enlistment, if they ship over.
1t was pointed out that the pro-
hibition against discharge at the
expiration applies only to the Or
ganized. Volunteer and Merchant
Marine Reserve. men who come
from civil life into the naval estab-
lishment. 1t does not apply to mem
