The National Guard Association has adopted resolutions favoring a commission in the Army for officers of the National Guard and calling for a change in regulations under which general officers shall hereafter qual- ify. The Secretary of War was asked fo form & committee of Regn- lar and Natfonal Guard officers, In ac- cordance with section 4B of the na- tlonal defense act. for the purpose of best adjusting these matters, and that the chief of the be assigned as a member of th committee and that the National Guard officers for service thereon be selected from a Mst to be prepared by the president of the tional Guard Association. The assoclation. at its meeting in New Orleans last vear, went on record favoring com- missioning all officers of the Na- tional Guard in the Army, and at the meeting in Indlanapolis of this vear this position was reaffirmed The reserve officers of the adjutant general’s department in the District of Columbia have organized a sec- tion of thelr own.

The popularity of National Guard service in Marvland is being in- creased through the educational ad- vantages that are being provided for its members. After much'work on the part of both National Guard ofti cers and the authorities of the Uni versity of Maryland, an allowance |of two scholarships, one for each of the regiments, were provided at the university. Each scholarship is awarded after a competitive exam- tnation and the successful contest- ants are now enjoying the advantage | of the big school. Lieut. Col. R. B. Leavitt, who is professor of military science and tactics at the Universit of Marvland, and who has been ver active in the matter, contemplates that sufficient funds will be obtained from the next legislature to provide for at least two scholarships from each regiment.
