THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1921 PLEADS FOR NAVAL RESERVE OF 100,000 Captain Evan Tails Businau Man Government Contemplates Erec- tion of Naval Armory in â€"7~ - TW» District That a permanent naval reserve force of 100,000 was a necessary part ~^)f~the~safety and preparedness pro- gram of the United States and that the support of the business men of the country to this movement was eagerly solicited was the theme of a talk made by CaptaiiL Edward A. Evers of the U. S. N. R., a resident of Wilmette, before the luncheon of the Evanston Commercial association forum last weeks----- ------- He also disclosed the fact that the government was even now seeking to place in Evanston a naval reserve armory where the Reservists of this district might train. 300 Navy Men Here "There are in the Evanston district today some 300 ex-service men of the navy still in the reserve," he said. "They have no place to train except in Chicago. The government is even now looking over the district to as- certain the possibility and advisability -of-establishing an-armory and train- ing quarters for these men here." Captain Evers gave a resume of the experiences of the navy during the war. Before f 1916 the reserve force permitted but not financed by the federal government, numbered but 13,000. Of this number there were in Illinois some 600 men and 40. of- ficers. "Within 48 hours after the declara- tion of war," he said, "these Illinois men were at the base ports ready to board ship. During the war, the same Tiien "serVed~ tht oveT^i^OOO^Thips^ at one time or another. ~7~ Swelled to 350,000 "During the war the naval reserve force was swelled to 350.000. Captain Evers pointed out the enormous waste in human effort, money and material, this expediency enlistment caused. The men were untrained, un- seasoned and awkward. "It was because of this fact that we were compelled to have as large a reserve as we did. Had these men had a little previous training, the navy would have been able to ope- rate just as efficiently on half this number and the government woujd have been saved a great deal of ex- pense. "Qur aim today is a permanent nayal reserve force of 100,000. We arevaho asking congress for an an- nual appropriation of $500,000 to de- fray^theTjecessary expense orTerit- ing armories, buying equipment and financing the administration of the Teserve. ^Witlrthe wave of economy that has seized the government our success is in doubt." Two Value* to Be Gained Captain Evers stated that there were two values to be gained by the reserve. First it provided the gov- ernment with an adequate, trained and ready force to meet emergencies. Second it had an inestimable value in teaching the youth obedience, re- spect of authority, cleanliness and the many other lessons military train- ing and ship life offered. "We want the support of the busi- I ness men of this and all other com- munities to the movement," he said. "It's a business proposition that should appeal to the common sense in more ways than one." Captain Evers has charge of the ninth, tenth and eleventh naval re- serve districts. His home is at 1020 Sheridan road.
