LARGER TRAINING Reserve Officers Urged to Stir Interest for Next Year’s Camp. PRAISED BY HELMICK 80th Division Gives Pershing’s Representative “Excellent Impression.” From a Staff Correspondent. CAMP MEADE, Md., July 33.—Ap- peal for an increase in the number of reserve officers at the nexttraining camp was made at a meeting of the officers of the 80th Division which concluded two weeks of training here yesterday afternoon. Every officer present at the meeting, which was the concluding ceremony of the camp, was urged to go out and look up former officers of the division and attempt to revive interest In the Army, with a view to getting them B S. G. Bianton, 12th Infantry, and Capt. B. E. Sawyer, assistant Front row: Lieut. P. W. Seymour, assistant adjutant; Col. H. FORGE NEW AIMI POPE NAMES D. C. MAN RELIEF HEAD IN RUSSIA Bev. Edmund A. Walsh to Take Charge of Papal Mission—Head- quarters in Moscow. Rev. Edmund A. Walsh of George- town University, who has been with the American reiief administration in Russia, has been selected by Pope Pius XI, it was announced here last night, to take complete charge of the dis- tribution~ of food supplies there through the papal relief mission. He will remain in_Russia for at least another year. Father Walsh will di- rect the Moscow headquarters in co- operation with the government's work, it wae announced. Returning to Washington in June, Father Walsh reported to President Harding from his secret miasion on conditions in Russia. He slipped away to Europe again as quietly as he came, without the real purpose of his trip becoming known. " Shortly after his return to Moscow he was re- Qquested to report to the Pope in Rome | With other officials of the newly or- ganized papal relief mission. Father Walsh will have the task of assigning the members of the mission to their posts throughout Russia. Father Walsh is well known In Washington, where for two years he served as regent of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, which he helped organize. — FOUR HIKES OFFERED LOCAL PEDESTRIANS 24 into camp next year. 4 The 80th Division officers, full of |Champion Walkers Given Chances makes, such as Illinois Sterling, Ham- A Week \\\\\!

Kenyon, Cthlun T enthusiasm over thelr two weeks' of intensive training, during which they brushed off the rust of & year on their Army knowledge, sald that this had been the most successful training period since the war, and they urged that greater interest be taken in the officers’ reserve corps, particularly by those officers who had seen war service. Speaks for Pershing. Brig. Gen. EIf A. Helmick, inspector general of the Army, and {r:lenl at the ceremonies representing Gen. Pershing, told them that he was taking back.to Washington an ex- cellent impression of the work of the officers of the 80th Division. He told them that Gen. Pershing only a few weeks ago had informed him that he was greatly concerned over the organized reserves, but that after visiting 8 New York camp his concern ad been relieved Gen. Helmick id that he felt sure that if Gen. Pershing had visited this camp of the 80th Division all of his fears would have been removed. Great work can be done by the resgrve officers, he pointed out, by encburaging the young men in their localities to join the reserve and take training at the various oit- izens’ training camps. He pointed officers already showing white in thelr hair, and in a few years they | would pass out. Therefore, it Is necessary, he said, that the young men be trained in the citizens’ camps, through the various red. white and blue periods, leading up to com- missions, in order that they might take the places of those who must eventually pass out because of the| march of years. Commander Adds Praise. Gen. Martin, commanding Camp Meade, also spoke in praise of the work of the officers of the 8$0th Division, and addresses were de- of the 3d Corps Area, of which Camp Meade is a unit; L(euv. Col. Herron H. Carson, Mji. H. Harrison, Lieut. Col. J. M. Stick and Col. Helms. i The reserve officers adopted reso- lutions thanking the confmanding officers of the various regular units for the aid they gave and for the spectacular demonstrations arranged | for the benefit of the officers at- tending the camp. One resolution expressed the ap- preciation of the splendid course of instruction and the masterly methods of presentation of the different sub- jects by the instructors, and also the thanks for the zeal and devo- tion and earnest efforts in behalf of the reserves, as well as the in- spiring leadership of Gen. Martin. Improvements Suggested. “Before adjournment several sug-! gestions for improvement of trainin of reserve officers were approved an submitted to the authorities Th included a recommendation that in- structions be given in the functions of officers of tke 30th Division in mobilization; recommendation that quartermaster have full luvpllel on huld at trdnlng camps; that at least one exercise be given in which troops actually execute maneuvers, with reserve officers assigned with the commanding officers of the vari- oug units; that in the future instruo- tors be prepared to give instruction to each officer In hi; ular duties in conjunction with the general prob- Tems; and’ that instructors give in- formal talks after dinner each even- ing on- their experiences in the -orv- ice; that the prohlom at uflnlnq reduced In number and nto more thoroughly. Preceding the ‘officers’ meeting ‘the students of the citizens’ ning camp, 1066 in number, were as- sembled and reviewed by Gen. Hi Martin and’ mick, Gen. the reserve officers of the 80th Divfsion. The 99th Divislon officers are due to report for training August 7, to be followed two weeks later by the 67th Cavalry division officers. :.uennnl Am.
