regained consciousness by noon.
Witnesses said that the acct

the accident.
Reck lost control of his car
after striking the boy and the
vehicle crashed into a utility

they were released after treat
ment.
The boy was alighting from
the Chesterfield township school

Approximately Is, 900 men
were stationed 1t Fort Sheridan

He couldn't rush out to greet

and other men in his barrack

Before that it was two weeks

Making both ends meet on the
$21 per month private's salary
is the average draftee's No. l

in generally by writing home

from the sale of their automo-

The monthly stipend disap-

While drilling, the men are

is universal and quitting time
is set for 400 o'clock each aft

the draftees are fee of disci-

hunks by II p. m.
Entertainment is no partic-

dances are given each week.

The German authorities were said

threaten production of oil and
agricultural products vital to the
German war machine:
l. Establishment of "protecto-

would, in effect, be equivalent to a

2. Establishment of a Rumanian
military dictatorship under the
watchful eye of the German military

700 Navy Reservists
To Enter Academy
On February IA
Commissions as Ensigns
To Be Awarded After
90 Days Training
By the Associated Press.

! BY the ASSOCIATED Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 24-One
week after the Naval Academy sends
some 400 new ensigns and marine
I officers into service. at its stepped
up" graduation exercises February
7, approximately 700 Naval Reserv-
lists will move into the Academy for
80 days training.
Their goal is the same as that
of the lowliest plebe-a commission
But, it will take the plebe a lot
longer to get his gold braid.
The 7o0-all with at least two
years of college education behind
them, plus a months training
aboard ship-will take over the
southeast wing of Bancroft Hall,
will live together and form bat
talon separate from the rest of the
midshipmen. They will be under
command of a naval officer.
One third of the group will COM
price the engineers school and two
thirds the deck" school. Regu-
larly enrolled Academy midshipmen
study in the morning and drill in
the afternoon The Reserves will
reverse the schedule to avoid con-
fact, but classes will be sandwiched
in from $50 am. to 5:15 pm. daily.
The curriculum for reservists seek
ing commissions as engineer off,
GERS includes marine engineering,
electricity, and seamanship. Pro-
spective deck officers will study ord
nance, navigation, and seamanship.
All of the courses have been set
up and approved by the Navy De-
partment instead Of the Academy
Board of Visitors. Special lectures
will be given by Academy personnel
and regular Academy professors will
give concentrated classroom in
struction.
Reservists will enjoy-or other
wise, depending upon how the reg
ular midshipmen regard them-a
hybrid existence. They will wear
practically the same uniforms as
midshipmen, except for three-inch
gold band on their sleeves; they
may not participate in Academy
sports, but will have full privileges
in using Academy facilities; in
effect, they will have all of the
rates and privileges, including lib
erty, ordinarily given only to first
/ classmen.
On February IA, the day they are
due to arrive here, they will be
fitted for uniforms and take the
oath. Glasses will start the follow
ing Monday, February II. A number
were weeded out during "battleship
training" and more are expected to
go before the course is completed.
About midday they will be gradu-
ated and receive commissions as
ensigns in the Naval Reserve and
will be given choice of going on
active duty with the fleet or re-
verting to civilian status subject to
call. Most Of them are expected to
pick active duty.
The course here will be similar to
ones now being given at Northwest
ern University and aboard the U. S
S. Illinois.
