This step, if successful, may effect a sav- ing in governmental expense beyond present calculations. Heretofore much of this cost has been based on di: -I tance, travel and loeation of ]mvula-l tion. ' Piguring the annual cost of securing recruits has been a simple matter in comparison with ascertain- ing the expense of individual cases. Should the present test prove feasible the reduction in cost of office hire, personnel and other pertaining to the undoubtedly advertising necessary expense recruiting service will react favorably for the Army by demonstrating to the taxpayer that one system of national defense can, in time of peace, be carried on at a minimum expen Legislative Action Necessary. amateur athletic federation, in a re- cent letter to the representatives of all American amateur athletic organi- zations in conference last Friday at the New York Athletic Club for the pur- pose of adopting a constitution for an Olympic association of the United States, stated that the Navy Depart- ment would, under a broad objective, lend. its encouragement to the :move- ment. “No one can deny,” said the Secretary, “the growing demand for properly guarded physical development throughout the United States, and it seems that this is the great moment to establish a national association, to standardize such development and safe- guard the ideals of amateurism.

With the present enlisted strength of 10,300 men, there are 3,756 vacancles at the various air stations.

Experience of the Corps of En- gineers during the war demonstrated the fact that a new type of portable piledriver was needed to facilitate the construction of heavy bridges re- quired by the inereasing size of guns and tanks. In most cases the pile- driver used on such construction had to be abandoned on the job. because the time required to dismantle it for transportation to the next bridge was so long that it wassquicker to comstruct the new one. Obviously much extra labor and loss of time resulted from the lack of a really portable pile-driving equipment. The board of engineer equipment has, therefore, designed and had con structed a new type of portable ma- chine. Tests recently carried out at ‘amp Humphreys indicate that, with ain modifications, the new pile- driver will show a great saving in time and labor. Officers Study Other Branches.

J. P. Parker, president of the asso- ciation, recently called on Secretary Denby, who, in addressing the mem- bers, expressed deep regret that the Navy was forced, owing to lack of appropriations, to disenroll the re- serve force. The Secretary stated that a bill would be introduced in Congress providing for the preserva- tion of the naval militia and a con tinuance of the naval reserve. At the conclusion of the meeting the reservists and representatives con- ferred with the Navy board, which is studying the reserve problem. Va- rious angles of the situation were discussed, and the belief expressed that the board's report and’ recom- mendation now being prepared under direction of Admiral Washington will when completed and submitted to Sec. retary Denby, result in a most har- monious reorganization, in line with the present wishes of “Congress.
