ARMY AND NAVY NEWS BY CAPT. ARTHUR G. DUNCAN, U. S. R. o e In laying down the principles of Peace-time operations, Gen. Pershing is quoted as saying that every effort should be made on the part of regular officers to provide an enlarged sys- tem of national training for the citi- zen elements of our armies, both Na- tional Guard and reserve. There is, he says, a general awak- ening as to national defense, as illus- trated by an increasing interest in the National Guard, the voluntary accepted appointments of a large number of peserve officers, favorable Teports as to the success of the R. O. T. C, and much enthusiasm as to military training camps. All of these, he believes, point to a greater appre- ciation throughout the country of the value of military training to the indi- vidual and its necessity to national security and preparedness. The full development of the new system as provided in the law of 1920 cannot, in the general's opinion, be carried out by the Regular Army @lone, nor does he believe it advis- able that all instruction be given by regular personnel. His policy is to invoke the assistance of yeserve offi- cers when possible, for “wWhenever we employ a reserve officer, even tem- porarily, to perform these duties we Lot only decrease the peace cost, but we increase the efficiency of reserve personnel that much. In training the citizen army we should employ as many reserve officers and non-com- missioned officers as possible as stu- dent instructors and staff personnel iii our training camps and other train- ing_establishments.” Gen. Pershing would divide thej Regular Army personnel into two distinct parts, one to be concerned with training the citizen army and organized into special units for that purpose, while the other would be set apart for such duties required, as maintaining foreign garrisons, border patrols, expeditionary forces and other purposes not specially concerned with | citizen training. His plan, he believes, would permit the selection and de- velopment of special personnel for citizen training, thereby assuring no! breakdown in event of a military emergency. i In developing the National Guard; and organized reserves the general is of the opinion.that the professional soldier is indispensable, but his em- ployment should be such as to en- courage the initiative and self-reli- ance of citizen officers. | _THE ARMY odel Military Organijation. shingtonians may well be proud | of their High School Cadet Corps. { which, by holding to a definite policy| and aim, has been brought to its present commanding position among the high school corps of the countr; During the past week 104 commis sions were presented to officers of the school by Maj.

No non-commissioned officers of the Regular Army are detailed instruc- tors, as the policy of the corps for vears has been to utilize the cadet officers and non-commissioned officers as instructors of the private, in order to promote greater initiative and con- fidence. Organized in 1882 with twa companies of fifty boys each and equipped with old Austrian rifles. enough for one company, the cadet) corps has grown, until today it com- prises three regiments of infantry, a medical unit and a_band. Early in May of each year the annual review of the corps takes place in the Presi- dent's park. south of the White Hou: Often the reviewing officer of this ceremony is the President, and at other times the Secretary of War or the chief of staff.

No further original requests for the return of the remains of overseas dead will be favorably considered after March 31, according to a re- cent statement of the Secretary of War. It has been the announced pol- icy heretofore to return from Lurope only the remains specifically requested by nearest relatives. It is believed that the government has afforded all reasonable consideration to interested relatives in permitting them to have from three and a half to four years in which to decide whether the re- mains will be returned or rest in France. The returning of bodies after March 31 would necessitate their removal {rom permanent rest- ing places and>cause a continuing disturbance of graves, together with a considerable additional expense to the government. .

One of the airplanes of the 90t Squadron at Kelly Field has been speclally equipped with radio, trans- mitting and_receiving, together with an S. C. R.-72 amplifitr. Two anten- nas are used, one for the transmitting set and one for recelving. The ship is the only one of its kind in the Sth Corps area. Radlo music has been successfully transmitted from the ground to the ship at 4,000 feet. In the cross-country formation for cadets, carried on unfler the super- vision of the post operations officer, Crissy Field, the Presidio of San Fran- cisco is used as the designation for these flights. The total number of ! miles flown during the month of Ja uary in connection with this ad- vanced training is: Linear -miles flown, 12,700; man miles flown, 25,400. Young men of this country who are interested in seronautics will be at- tracted by the.announcement that ex- aminations are now being held at various air service stations for the purpose of securing eligibles for ap- pointment as flying cadets. The base pay of flying cadets is $75 a month, which includes extra pay for flying risk. The ration allowance will not exceed $1 a day. The other allow- ances, such as clothing, equipment, ete. are those of a private, first class, air service. S [ THE NAVY o e One of the greatest dangers to sea- planes fiying over the ocean has been gteatly lessened by recent radio le- velopments by the Navy, namely, the transmitting equipment jnow carried on multi-motored ma- I chines, which permits the sending of radio messages when a plane has been forced to land on the water. The recent forced landing of a plane off the Florida coast will serve to,| illustrate the value of this develop- ment. Had one of our scaplanes had such an a E could h#e sent a radio message im- mediately and assistance rushed to the plane. The plane could have been found more easily by the rescue ves- sel. not only because her position was known, but also because the kite which is part of the equipment would be visible at greater distances than the piéne in the water. Of simple design and weighing only a few pounds, the equipment com- prises two Kites, one for stronger and one for ligit breezes, and a reel of specially light antenna wire.

Discussion of Acti Merchants and Manufacturers’ Assn. Interesting reports and speeches by Representative Benjamin Focht, Rep- resentative Edmunds and Archibald Probably no more important safety device for great lakes vessels has been perfected in o generation; say naval officers, than their wireless installations and the use of radio compasses. The United States Navy has sold from its surplus stock considerable amounts of complete_installations to various ship owners at such attractive figures that other operators are rapidly falling into line and equipping their vessels with Navy apparatus. The Navy Department maintains a chair of fifteen shore stations extending. { from Duluth to Buffalo, and three of i them are radio compass stations located in the to-called *grave yards” of the lakes, at Whitefish point, Detour point and Grand Marais. With the aid of these compass stations cross bearings can be obtained at any time and vessels approaching each other in fog or snow { may easily determine their relative- po- sitions. Ship owners having radio in- stallations keep in constant touch with | their vessels and are enabled to divert | their points of call at will. There is little doubt that once lake skippers give radio apparatus and service practical tests they will become as wedded to its use as are captains making Atlantic and Pacific ports.

Fatally Injured Comrade “Joshes’” ‘While Company Fights Blaze. NEW YORK, March 25.—Firemen attached to a Brooklyn engine com- pany, wept today as they fought a small blaze because they knew that Frederick Brandt, one of the most popular members of the company, had jreceived fatal injuries while un the way to the blaze. He slipped from the engine and the heavy wheels passed over him. He joshed his company mates as they tearfully started to fight the flames and a deputy chief stopped his automoblile to speed him to a hos- pital. “I'm done for,” he told his superior. ";Be sure and give my regards to the oys."" After the blaze all eight members of the company volunteered to glve their blood in a transfusion operation, but death came as they made their offer. Brandt announced a week ago that he was engaged to be married. s —_— The aircraft-carrier Langley, which will be placed in commission at the Norfolk navy yard early in April, will be in command of Capt.
