'ARMY AND NAVY NEWS By Capt. Arthpr G. Duncan, U. S. R. i THE ARMY I Gen. Pershing's efforts to trace un- necessary delay in the handling and circulation of correspondence between _-bureaus and branches in the War De- -~ partment has been rewarded. The = dlscovery indicates that the prover- I blal “red tape” still exists in the _ Army, and, like Banquo's ghosg will < not be downed. Detailed to Investi- - gate the causes, with a view of cor- . recting the difficulty by devising more - expeditious methods, Col. Robert C. . Davis, the A. E. F. expert in matters - of military correspondence, has, after * studying the situation for several - months in various War Department * offices, reported the situation as due - to an overabundance of detail, with * too many officers concerned in initi- : ating papers; that there is a lack of responsibility imposed on individuals, and recommends a simplification in . present methods which he claims will _materially reduce routine details. . Report Spurs Officers’ Appearance. 1t is a foregond conclusion that cer- “tain officers under Brig. Gen. MBandholtz, commanding the district of Washington, will, hereafter, while in uniform, see that the same is kept up to a standard of neatness con- sistent with their station, and that . their military bearing is also in - keeping. . Observation officers recently de- talled to report unnecessary laxity in the appearances of officers stationed in the district, state that during the last six days in October ninety-five officers were, in that respect, noted as “delinquents.” It is possible that some of the cases cited may_have been officers passing through Wash- ing, or the cause might rest with the lack of inspection orders by executives who hold that asuthority. Officers asked to comment on the subject aver there is no_excuse for any officer stationed in Washin, to appear upon the streets with dan- gling puttee straps, unkempt boots, or untidy uniform. They are united in commending the District commander for calling attention to what appears an apparent thoughtlessness on the part of a comparatively small number of ofticers. Bars Unofficial Publications. That the Senate is alive to the necessity of legislation tabooing the unauthorized issuance of service pub- lications is evidenced by an amend- ment of the act of March 4, 1921, in- troduced by Senator Moses, which passed the Senate without debate, and provides that, after December 1, 1921, no army publications not authorized by the joint congressional commit- tee on printing will be published and franked at government expense. Un- der the regime of the late Secretary Baker the fact was established that tons of unauthorized publications were issued by the War Department, until a sharp halt was made by Senator Borah in 1920, at which time Mr. Carter the present government print- er, then secretary of sional committee on printing and pub- lication, was instructed by the com- mittes to give that matter his per- sonal attention. The recent appoint- ment of Mr. Carter as head of the fovcrnment printing office was large- y due to his economical administra- tion and conscientious {interest in Tecommending the elimination of un- necessary departmetal printing dur- ing his regime. Technical Tratning in R. 0. T. C. Engineer units of the Reserve Offi- cers’ Training Corps have been estab- lished in twenty-one of the leading technical institutions throughout the country, from Massachusetts Institute of Technilogy on the Atlantic to the California Institute of Technology on the Pacifio. Officers of the Corps of Engineers of the Regular Army are detalled to these institutions for the purpose of instructing the students in the application of their engineering knowledge to military problems. To- day there are 3,500 reser officer students enrolled as against 00 last year. After four years of instruction, totaling approximately 600 hours, the student is commissioned in the Engi- neer Officers’ Reserve Corps. Aluminum Pontoon Boats. Tests on _pontoon bridge ma- terial made by the Corps of Engi- neers at Camp Humphreys last sum- mer brought out the possibilities of aluminum for use in the construction of pontoon boats. While the old type of wooden boat retains its place at present, the many advantages of the aluminum boats make advisable more extensive tests. Some of the respects in which the latter showed superiority were its lightness, durability, imme- diate availability for service, ferry- . ing capacity, and displacement oca- pacity. the congres- t kind developed by the (orps of Engi- neers during the war. The larger ones were of the Speery sixty-inch mobile type. These are sh by their lightness, the fact that no glass is used in them, the projeotion being acoomplished by means of a metal reflector and by their great range—from 5,000 to 15,000 yards, de- pending on the nature of their target. These lights, easily -transported by motor truck, can locate an airplane, their most difficult target, at a dis- tance of five miles. ) Afr Service. Officer students at the McCook Field Engineering School are at present busily engaged in the study of shop machine work. In order to secure first-hand data in practical methods of shop routine and production the six- teen officers enrolled at that school are making frequent inspections of the large mechanical shops in their vicinity. In granting subsidies for aviation France and Belgium contribute vary- Ing sums toward payment of pilots, cost of gas, etc. Germany gives a premium on the number of kilometers flown. England pays a subsidy, it is stated, for services from London to Parie, to Brussels and also to Amster- dam, the British competing with a Dutch company for the service be- tween Amsterdam and London. During a recent inspection of‘the air service troops at Luke Field, N. J.,, by Maj. Gen. C. P. Summerall, the new commanding general of the Hawaiian department, an aerial demonstration of attack ralding, camera obscura training, acrobatics, two-way radio. radlo-phone and Fokker stunting was given, which resulted in the following excerpts from a letter of commenda- tion to the commanding officer of Luke Fleld, In which the general expressed his appreciation as follows: ‘“The ex- hibition in the functioning of the air service in its different tactical mis- sions was unsurpassed by anything that I have seen. The organisation and the functioning of the different | departments for, the maintenance and operation of the command inspire con- fidence in the methods pursued for safety and efficlency. I especially wish to commend the experts and the offi- cers in charge of the different sections for, their resourcefulness in develop- ing capacity and securing continuity where special training is required.” Blind and without the use of his hands, a former seaman in the Navy has written a letter of cheerfulness and hope to Secretary Denby, using & type- sent Bronner a letter commendin, for his bluejacket to President Hardls h Ju of len ng, who ding him added the followirg a bluejacket, our service has reason to be proud of you What 1 like about you is not that you have accomplished s0 much, but.that you have the will to accomplish and the power to make that will effective.”” Records of the Navy Department show that Bronner, & na- tive of Hamllton, Ohio, served on the New Hampshireythe Alabama, the de- stroyer Talbott, Pittsburgh and the Olymple. May Jein Naval Reserve Force. Pending the reorganisation of the ressrve officers who have recently held or now held temporary com- mis 8 Oor temporary warrants in the Navy, they may, according to the bureau of navigation, be considered :Hllbll for enroliment in the volun- eer naval reserve in the same provi- sional rank as their respective tem- | porary commissions or warrants indi- }cate, upon separation from the service. Officers who_were appointed or com- missioned from a permanent enlisted status and who under the law, revert to that status when their temporary ( commissions are revoked have the al- ternative of transferring to class C or | D of the fleet reserve after sixteen or twenty years’ service, provided they have had sufficlent naval service to make them eligible. Transferred mem- bers of the fleet reserve who accapted temporary commissions or warrants are unable, under the present law, to revert to their status as transferred members of the flest reserve. All l submit requests for transfer to the fleet reserve, class 1-D, and their com- manding officers are authorised to ad- ed | vance them immediately to an appro- priste chief petty officer rating, with permanent appointment. § New Cruising Submarines. Keels of three mammoth subma- rines; known as the V-class, recently 1aid at Portsmouth, N. H., combine ofl and electric® propulsion, which, by uniting the main and forward power plants, develops a maximum of 6,600 horsepower. The boats are to have a displacement of 2,025 tons, 330 feet long, and designed for a surface speed of nine to ten knots per hour. When underway sub- merged they will be driven by the motors from batteries. The oil en- gines enable the use of aft motors some! t in the same manner as electric self-starters are used in auto- mobilea. The twelve engines for the three submarines are said to have cost $3,000,000. Armament aboard will con- sist of & five-inch gun, which can. be trained alomst in a complete circle or elevated as an anti-aircraft weapon.
