SOCIETY. THE CIVILIAN ARMY Organized Reserves—National Guard. BY L'EUT. STEPHEN F. TILLMAN. Q. M. Gen. William H. Hart is daily in receipt of expressions from reserve cers of his department indicating ir_enthusiastic appreciation of the semi-monthly letters sent out from his office. 1t has been repeatedly stated that, aside from their instruc- tive features, these letters confirm the idea that the erve officer is a Part of the Army These Jetters g aleng a definite program plan of organizution of the naster s oftie of or of the field of theory plans, quar- termaster ir tor septeme ber 1 of this test, ope sonal service operati iply service, op ‘ration portation serve c construction bren laid out as peneral quarter- general plan il consume ally the end of It is proposed a further in- The Q enviable tion with artermast record for Corps made an connec- dred and fifiy-. shooter und laster depot they w nds before the time they were required Licut.

Lieut. Col. Juan O'Connor of the Peruvian army is also a stu- dent at the school, The “benzine board,” as the board dectding on the progress of students is called, reduced the class by dropping 11 officers, 27 cadets and 2 { other members of the original hod Due to the lack of suflicient ap- | propriations for the fiscal year 1925, | the Militia Bureau will probably deny further recognition to National Guard { units who have not already asked f . As of June 30, 1924, Federal re ognition had been granted to 3,1 units, and since this date 45 addi-| tional units have been given this mark of distinction. To complete the 250.000 strength program which the Militia Bureau has been working on, recognition would have to be granted to 53¢ more uni In other words, it would take 2 units to complete the 18 infantry di-| visions, 86 units to complete the four cavalry divisions, and to complete all other organizations would requirc 153 units, or @ total of 581 units. It is estimated that by the end of | the 1925 fiscal the 3 | strength of the 60,000, than the appro- 1 year 1 tment for 3 ommissi officers were pire by taking no action i re still pendinz on June appear cent would | appointment, where cont did.

C. duty m: government frank inform:é dinner to be given by congressional district rs club, » frank matter was sent only to nbers of the club, which is com- a4 exclusively of ve, national uuard and regular officers. Tle motl- on of the club and of its proposed nner is stated to be “the profes- £ional advancement of its members, sconsideration of questions of general interest, and mutual acquaintance and understanding.” Inclosed in the en- to each member were a envelope addressed to the ho- lav offi- under ting cere hotel to be used by the recipient club member in making reservations of vlat at the dinner, The second instance of questionable use of t i appears in all re- cots ide in spirit with the her instance. The frank was used 4 similar manner as in the first The law on the subject is contained in section 5 of the act of March 3, 1877, and is embodied in section 494 of the current postal laws and regu- lations. The law restricts the use of nalty envclopes to oflicers of the viovernment and further restricts the franking privileges so that the en- velope may be used to cover only matters relating “exclusively teo the business of the Government of the United States.” 1t has hitherto been held by the War I artment that reserve officers’ 4 Sovernment or- izations, but that they are volun- ry ociations” and that the use ot the p associations While the ment entir ctor_gene such organizations and the dinners ziven by them are of undoubted bene- fit to the service, and thus to the Gov- ernment, the express terms of the statute and the postal regulations prevent the view that the business of such organization is exclusively Gov- ernment business. It is held by the War Department, therefore, that the use of the penalty cnvelopes in the cases in reference by the Regular Army ofticers initiating the correspondence, as well as by the recipient club members, is illegal. The severity of the trdining which prospective air officers must undergo is indicated in the recent training re- of the officer in charge of the g office, Primary Flying School, Jirooks Field, Tex. The original class of 1 has been cut down to its pres- ént status of 113 members. The class is composed of the follow- ing students: Twenty-five Regular is in the War Depart- greement with the in- 1 in the sentiment that port ” Coffee Shoppe Entrance on Corner—l1fth aad K.
