C. e _ l THE -ARMY Regulations of the Officers’ Reserve Corps, which, as stated by the War Department, will be distributed be- tween October 4 and October 15, will show twenty-flve branche$ of serv- tce, ranging from military police -to general officers of the linel Four of the new branches, the. general serv- ice, sanitary, military police and staft specialists, are not reprgsented at present in the Regular Army. The creation of these branches will give the nation real preparedness in the way of an organization for the Of- ficers’ Reserve Corps. The general service branch will bel composed of officers to be utilized | during a war in the supervision df I military conbtruction and the han- diing of group labor. In the medical department the sanitary branch will allow the addition of officers who can be utilized for special and scientific duties so essential in time of war. The staff specialists’ branch will in- clude officers who by their peace-time profession are qualified to perform special duties. These officers are de- i scribed in the regulations as “all those persons required as officers in time of war for speclal and miscella- neous duties not pertaining to other authorized sections of the regerve corps.” The military intelligence branch is also provided in the regulations for the calling into the_service in time of peace as reserve icers men who{ nave been speclally trained for the! duties connected with this important work, particularly those experienced in the collection and dissemination of military information. Mobilization during the war Impressed upon the authorities the importance of the du- ties of intelligence ofticers, which is embodied in the new regulations. In connection with the military police branch a provision has been made, in event of a major emergency for a force of reserves trained in the work of handling traffic. Officers and men in that capacity will in the event of war be engaged in the enforcements of military and civil law, under the jurisdiction of the provost marshal general. Board to Study McKellar BilL In order to give further considera- tion to the McKellar bill, it is re- ported that by agreement of the mem- bers of the Senate military committee, Chairman Wadsworth and Senatar McKellar are to write a letter to Sec- retary Weeks requesting the appoint- ment of a board of officers to study the present arrangement of officers in the grades of captain andslieuten- ant_on the promotion list. Senator McKellar is insistent on the point that the existing law works an in- justice to . many officers in these grades, and that something should be done along the line of his bill to re- lieve the situation. The question of the equity of the present law in respect to junior offi- cer promotion is not finally settled in the minds of a number of higher officers. It is reported that Gen. Pershing has quletly taken an in- terest in the subject and has con- sulted upon the subject Col. John McA. Palmer, whose fairmindedness and ability in military legislation is perhaps paramount in Army circles. Col. Palmer has expressed the opinion that the subject would require deep study and perhaps months of time in order to conclude definitely an opin- fon. It is the expressed hope of a number of junior officers that Col. Palmer will be selected to head the board of officers who will make a complete study of what has proved a long-drawn-out and perplexing con- troversy. Rettde Temporary Officers. In order to take advantage of the legal provisions of the statutes which give to temporary and reserve officers of the naval service who were found disabled during the war all the benefits of retiremeft, in- cluding three-fourths pay for the remainder of their lives, it was di- reeted that applications of those of- fiders should be filed at the depart- ment on or before October 1. In or- der to obtain this benefit a reserve or tehporary officer must have incurred a physical disability in line of duty “in time of war.” Semate Naval Committee. ‘With the expressed desire of Sen- ator Carroll S. Page to retire from the United States Senate on the com- pletion of his term in March, 1923, and the fact that dusing the past ses- sion, as chairman of the Senate naval committee, he transferred most of the burden of naval legislation to Senator Poindexter, who defended the same on the floor of the Senate. it is surmised in naval circles that the Washington senator may succeed the senator from Vermont as chairman of that im- portant committee. Discontinuance of Free Service. Valet service for enlisted men, fn the nature of laundry work and the dry cleaning of clothing and the re- pairing of shoes, hats, vests, etc., at government expense, will be discon- tinued, according to instructions is- sued by the quartermaster general. Hereafter, enlisted men will pay the government a nominal price for their laundry work. It is anticipated that shoe, clothing and hat repair shops will in most cases be turned over to the various post exchanges 'and be op- erated by those organizations. Pres- ent plans contemplate that the har- ness, typewriter and textile repair shops will be maintained to take care of the reclamation of government- owned property. Equipment for Reserve Officers. Judging” from numerous inquiries received from reserve officers relative to their privilege to purchase certain articles at government cost from Army commissaries, the War RQepart- | ment desires to make clear that a reserve officer, upon proper identifi- cation, may buy any article required in order to be prepared for active duty, .aside from clothing ‘and am~ munition, but one of any article will be sold to reserve officers, thus as- | suring that the purchases are for their own use. Price lists may be ob- tained through the guartermaster of any corps area Headquarters, to- gether with information regarding the ‘melhod of procurement. < < - Contusion of the aims and purposes of the Navy Relief Soclety and the Navy Mutual Aid is a common oc- currence in the service, particularly with the public, was the opinion ex- pressed by Capt. E. J. Dorn, corre- sponding secretary of the soclety, who, as a retired officer, is volun- tarily devoting his time and-energy to this most commendable work. The work of the Navy Relief Society, ac- cording to an interesting interviéw With Capt. Dorn, is solely to provide relief for indigent widows, orphans and® mothers of officers, sailors and enlisted men of the Navy and Marine Corps, and to aid in securing employ- ment for them and furnish education- al facilities for such grphan ichildren. “Let us’' look out for our women and children,” is the slogan of the society, which embraces twenty-one suxiliaries ready to be called upon for help In emergencies until the case can be presented to the society in Washington, when allowances of $25 2 month—or miore, if need is great 2 are given for a limited time, or un- til the money comes in from the swidow. The only question ascertained i%: “Is the woman-in need?” and this is the responsé: In.1904, the year the society .incorporal approximately $10,000 was paid to beneficiaries, that Annnal amount rising until the peak ! year, 1919. -saw the -amount reach - néarly $70,000, with @ tolal expended during the seventeen years of the so- ciety’s existence, inciuding 1920, of approximately. $300,000. In the recéht loss of the ZR-2 it was ascertained that fortunately only two or three of that crew’s families were In need of emergency assistance, “which was sent in a check to the de- dependents of those unfortunate sailors within ten days after the loss of the airship. The policy of the work, ac- cording to the secretary’s statement, is not in case of distress to inquire “who’s who" or “what’s what” If the unfortunate is an officer or en- listed man in the Navy or Marine Corps, every consideration is shown his deépendents until they are out of their trouble. Promotion of N. G. Officers. The. policy of the War Department regarding reserve officers who also hold commissions in the National Guard is o that their commissions in both services must be in the same grade and branch. Active federally recognized officers of the National Guard will not be required to under- go additional examination for promo- tion in the Officers’ “Reserve Corps i when the grade and branch to which they are to be promoted is identical with that held in the National Guard. If for any reason the reserve com- mission cannot legally be given in the same grade and branch as. the National Guard commission, its issue will be deferred and appropriate ad- justment made ag soon as circum- stances permit. Passing Notes. Retention of the artillery range at Anniston, Ala., for National Guard training purposes has been author- ized, together with the retention of buildings and the tent cantonment at Camp McClellan. «It is contemplated that corps area commanders will be charged with the responsibility of conducting corre- spondence courses for reserve officers in their respective areas, which will ge availaple for National Guard of- cers.
