v 1 Back to pre-war pay is a possi- bility which may be faced by Army officers before another twelvemonth will have passed. The Increase in officers’ pay, which occurred in 1919, will be remembered as only tempo- rary, so that by next July the ques tion of a reduction or a continua- tion of the present pay of officers Wwill have been settled. While a reduction in pay would today prove a hardship to many of- ficers, it is admitted that the pay schedule as it now exists might be more consistently rearranged. For example: There are young West Point majors and former non-com- missioneq officers in the grade of captain, who, with the latters’ four fogies. or 40 per cent increase for longevity pay. are each drawing & sum equal to the amount paid to an assistant secretary of the United States Treasur; ) Genernl Staff Organization. Signs point to a material change, soon to take place, in the methods formerly adopted by the Baker- March regime. The personnel staft is likely to be considerably reduced in number, and the work transformed into planning instead of operation The recent order of the chief of stafl indicates that he is not favorably disposed to his staff performing work which should be accomplished by the adjutant general. judge ad- ate general or the quartermaster and other operating departments. The overlapping of work, which at times is a costly ex- may be necessary, pense, but duplication is gross ex- travagance. It will be interesting to witness the final plan of Gens. Per- shing and Harboard in the consum- Y iation of the much-talked-of reor- ganization of the general staff—a combination skeletonized, perhaps. but elastic enough to perform in war as in time of peace. One thing is certain, Gen. Pershing will adopt in his. new organization the salient features which he gained by close observation of the best workings of the general staffs in Y foreign countries. In this reorganl- zation work Gen. Pershing could ce mo abler officer at his-side than his present assistant. Gen. Harboard. Surplus Colonels. What to do with our surplus colonels was a problem which faced the Army for a time following the war, and is vet a study. It was discovered that one way out of the difficulty was to send the officers to service schools. As one colonel explained, it was tough enough in France to command a regi- ment_or brigade, but to be ordered for student duty at a school in which the instructors were junior officers with only theoretical knowledge of the lessons they taught, was more than tough. Fortunately, the pres- ent detail of surplus colonels to the organized reseryes will avoid the necessity of assigning more than one or two colonels to a regiment. Cutting Down the Army. Although at one time a strong ad- vocate for a minimum army of 200,000 enlisted men. Gen. Pershing has evi- dently concluded that the present size of 150,000, as indicated by the wishes of Congress, is all that the country feels it can afford under nt conditions. What the gen- is now striving for is to create in shortest possible time a citizen army of a size sufficient to meet any unexpected emergency. Charged with this duty, the general is handicapped Wby lack of appropriations with which to train more than 10,000 student sol- diers this year and a few service offi- Congress, after providing for this nucleus of a national defense, failed to appropriate sufficient funds with which to carry out its own wishes. the Promotion of Reserve Officers. The War Department has finally de- termined that in time of peace the promotion of reserve officers will be made with a view of readiness for prompt mobilization. In time of war all officers will be equally eligible for promotion, regardless of whether they serve in time of peace In the Regular Army, the National Guard or the Organized Reserves. Promotion by selection in time of war will be made with due consideration of the needs of the military service and the relative qualifications of persons available for promotion. Briefly, the conditions for promo- tion in time of peace are a minimum of three years' actual service in the grade from which promoted, a suit- able assignment for the officer if pro- moted. and a demonstration of quali- fications by examination. In time of eace it is impossible to determine he full extent of the qualifications of reserve officers for duty in time of war. Their promotion must be pased upon consideration of their general and professional qualifica- tions, the interest manifested by them, their length of service, and age, with a view to providing reasonable ad- vancement to the grade for which It is believed they will be fitted in time » of war, and from which they will have a fair and equal opportunity to fur~ ther advance under conditions of active service. With a view of developing the in- Army and Navy News By Capt. Arthur G. Duncan, O. R. C. ability and qualities of mili- tary leadership of the citizen soldier, the system of promotion is designed to afford any competent reserve officer an opportunity to rise by successive steps to any office in the Army which is to be filled, and for which he has the ability to qualify. With this ob- Ject in view, no fixed numbers are pre- scribed for the various grades and branches of the Officers’ Reserve Corps. A minimum length of service in a grade is required to be eligible for advancement in the next higher grade. The minimum of one yeéar re- quired by law being of limited appli- cation has been fixed by regulation at three years and also takes cogni- sance of ‘experience gained in active service during the world war. Decentralization requires that ex- aminations for promotion be con- ducted by boards convened by the corps and department commanders conducted under War Department regulations. which prescribe thelr character and scope. At the same time, to provide the necessary elas- ticity to meet widely varying condi- tions, the examining boards prescribe the detalls of examinat'ons and are authorized to grant such exceptions, and to make such additional investi- gations as, in their judgment, may be necessary or proper in any individual case. When their services are ob- tainable, reserve officers are to be uti- lized as members of examining boards. Air Service Notes. In the development of a radio-con- trolled automobile which was recently demonstrated at McCook Field, home of the engineering division of the air service, the possibilities of radio con- trol and its application to war-time problems are materially emphasized. Radio control may be applied to any mechanical apparatus that moves, Whether in the air, on the ground, on the surface of the water, or beneath the water. Huge land tanks may be constructed and filled with T. N. T. and driven to any desired point along the enemy’s lines where the explosive can be fired by means of radio, or it can be applied in a similar manner to a boat, submarine, torpedo, or even an alrplane, and the explosive can be fired when and where desired. There is also an application in the -commer- cial fleld, particularly in plants where long hauls between various parts of the factory are necessary. After an exhaustive study of the subject of airplane accidents in Eng- land, it appears that the primary cause of breakdown is due to faults in the installation of engines and oil. water and petrol systems, rather than to failure of the engine itself. Among the various suggestions for improve- ments attention was drawn to the need of eliminating leakage of oil, which it appears is a serious matter, owing to the currents of air which are set up round the engine in flights. The development of pressure tanks for petrol storage was further recom- mended and attention called to the importance of the use of a sound petrol gauge. Rubber connections, it was found, should be discarded in petrol pipes and soft steel tubing be substituted. Machines with a single control engine were found preferable over those with power units installed in the wings. A twin-engined plane was recommended, having two central propellers, one in front of the other. Power installation testing with a machine in flight was also among the suggestions made in the study which was carried on by the Royal Aero- nautical Society. L NATIONAL GUARD d Matters concerning the disburse- ment of armory drill pay are declared to be in a worse state of entangle- ment than has ever existed- before, and that there is general dissatisfa tion throughout the National Guard. Duplication of work, conflicting o ders, lack of proper co-ordination and general misconception of duties and details affecting the guard are charged as the causes which have led up to the present state of uncertainty and complaint. A bill (S. 2307). which proposes to place the duty of disbursing such funds in the hands of disbursing officers of the United States appointed pursuant to section 67, act of June 4, 1920, is now pending in’ Congress and has been favorably reported by the Senate committee on military affairs. ~Existing conditions demand that some measure be adopted to expedite this important function pertaining to the National Guard. > ___© America will soon claim the largest airsaip hangar in the world, which is nearing completion at the naval air station at Lakehurst, N. J., where the navy intends to construct the first rigid airship in this country. The ZR-2, the largest airship in the world, which will shortly arrive from England, will also be housed in this hangar. The structure at Lakehurst was designed to take not only the largest rigid airships now built or building, but to accommodate the largest ships which future develop- ments may indicate to be desirable. Some idea of the magnitude of the hangar may be gained by its clear roof area, which reaches to a height of 172 feet, the highest clear area of any structure in this country.

States Capitol building, with the excep- tion of the dome, could be placed in- side the hangar; that the inside volume is six times greater than the Union Station concourse at Washing- ton, or seven times that of the Wool- worth building in New York. The doors of the structure, operated by electricity, are mounted on stand- ard-gauge trucks which travel on two lines of track laid on concrete base. The main doors at each end are 117 feet high, 136 feet long and 77 feet wide. Special provision for working in the hangar is made by a number of so-called cat walks, which are hori- zontal balconies running along under the roof. Fastenings are placed at the various roof rafters for traveling hoists. Because of the possible pres- ence of an explosive mixture, due to the escape of hydrogen from an air- ship, specfal attention is paid to the lighting. No wires are taken inside the struoture, as all lighting Is through heavy glass covers in walls, floor and roof. The lights in the skylight are of actinic glass which will cut out the detrimental rays. The interior is so arranged that two of the largest airships now built can be brought in on railroad tracks and placed side by side. The cost of the structure is approximately $3,000.000, the construction having been started in the fall of 1719 and having been carried on during very unsatisfactory conditions of labor, materials and transportation. The building is equipped with elevators, stairways, offices, shops, storerooms and a cafe- teria, all of them outside the clear floor area in the space available at the foot of the steel towers upon which rests the skeleton of the building. which is constructed of three hinged steel arches. The hangar was designed by the bureau of yards and docks, under the direction of Rear Admiral C. W. Parks, chief of bureau, and Commander Kirby Smith, project manager. Mr. J. Michealson had charge of the engineering com- putations and Willlam Partridge de- veloped the architectural details. New Mexico Wins Trophy. Awarding the annual efficiency pen- nant to the vessel of the battleship class making the highest combined merit in gunnery and engineering is always an event of Keen interest throughout the Navy. This year the U. S. S. New Mexico won the trophy. The battle efficiency pennant is tri- angular in shape, colored red, with black circle in center, and is flown at the foremast at anchor. The New Mexico attained the high- est merit both in gunnery and in en- gineering, and, besides being awarded the battie efficiency pennant, is also the winner of the gunnery and en- gineering trophies. This is the second year in succession that the New ‘The Woman's News Service, Inc, is expected to be established by Septem- ber. It is the child of the Federation of Women's Clubs and will employ only women. It will be financed by capital from women only. Its general purpose will be giving publicity to activities of women, and its head- quarters will be in either Washington or Chicago. This is the report contained in the General Federation News of the eur- rent week. The initial service, it is | planned, will reach 100 daily papers in cfties ranging from 10,000 to 500,000, and it also is proposed to develop as rapidly as possible a system where- by newspapers in the smallest com- munities may benefit by the service. Women from twenty states already have taken blocks of stock. Subject toy prior sale, 1,200 shares will be of- fered at $50 per share. A limit of twenty shares will be placed for each purchaser. 4 From the News also is gleaned the word that the federation president, Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, aims at the abolition of the non-executive bien- nial council and the substitution of & busjness meeting which would give the federation an annual executive convention. Among other recom- mendations of Mrs. Winter is that the state presidents of the organization act also as state directors, thereby low- ering expense, and that state federa- tions arrange a schedule of stats meetings, which will enable speake: to go from one state to another wit! out loss of time. These recommenda- tions will be voted upon by the board of directors at the January meeting in Chicago. The Sixteenth Street Heights Club held the last meeting of the season at the residence of Mrs. E. L. Morgan. Changes in the constitution of the club were suggested by Mrs. Selbie Grove. A motion was carried which laid the report of the committee on constitutional changes on the table until the fall meeting. Various re- ports were read, including that of the reception of Mme. Curie, a recent guest here, and that of the committee on program for the ensuing year, Mrs. C. F;’ S,:\llllfir. committee chair- man, on the latter. On behalf of the club, Mrs. B. BE. Scott presented a gift to the retiring president, Mrs. Morgan, who is leav- ing the city to establish a residence in the 'al{. ‘Mrs. Morgan responded with a farewell speech. The following oandidates were unanimously elected to office for the ensuing year: Mrs. H. K. Xobart, president; Mrs. 8. D. Grove, vice president; Mrs. Ansel Wold, secre- tary; Mrs. C. F. Stuhler, treasurer; Mrs. Milton Danziger, delegate, and Mrs. B. E. Scott, custodian. Mrs. Mil- ton Harriman was elected to mem- bership. Joseph J. Degnan, comedian and “hula-hula” dancer was the principal guest at a house-warming Friday when the Amitie Club took posession of its new meeting place, at 316 E street southeast. The Amitie Club has heen established since June of this year. During its short’existence it has had several outings and social events, but none could compare with the evening of fun and dance that took place this week. The business session, which was presided over by Francis A. McCann, president of the club, showed a_won- derful increase in members. Head- quarters for the membership campaign will be retained at the Knights of Columbus hall, 606 E street. Every effort will be made to bring into the club Catholic men and women who are not already afliated with exist- ing organizations in the church.
