Approximately flnance reserve ofcers will underzo their 15 days of fnatruction between now and June 30. A few have already completed this fortnight’s instruction course. This | training will be given in nearby camps or finance offices in the immediate vicinity of the homes of the respective reservists taking this training. The hope has been expressed in the War Department that a greater number of | finance reserve officers will be called 16 an active duty status in 1926, but limited appropriations for this pur- pose has imposed the maximum num- | ber of 25 reserve officers to be given instruction this year. 3 Jpon reaching his station for his 5 days of instruction the reserve officer will be required to perform the various duties which required to be discharged by regular finance offi- cers at stations and In finance offices. Each reserve officer tak this in struction will be given an opportunity to preside over the different desks in | a finance office, his work being super vised by a regular finance officer. Re- | finance officers residing in the | District of Columbia who "contem-| plate applying for 15 days’ instruction | next ‘year are urged to enroll in the | finance correspondence course for ‘re- serve officers, as preference will be given to those reserve officers who have completed this course. The view is held that those who have satisfac: torily completed this course are much hetter prepared to pursue the 15 days of intensive instruction in the operation of a finance office than those who have not had the preliminary theoretical training. that two- Based upon the assumption there will available a_daily hour period for 12 days or a total of | 24 hours for this purpose. 12 subjec are included in the proposed hedule of branch instruction of veteri Vv re- serve officers, which will be given in the 1925 Summer training camps at Fort Snelling, Minn,, and at Carlisle Barracks, Pa Acquainting the student officers with the organization and function of the veterinary service and the method of tulfilling its mission will be the pri- mary purpose of holding this instruc. tion. Considerable stress will be placed upon the necessity of preventing ani mal disability through the supervision of stable management and the early \ZG} tection and isolation of all communj- cable diseases, but also for the eval uation of disabled animals from mo- bile units to fixed hospitals, where they can be treated properly. The training _ schedule includes three periods of equation and it is possible that this number may be increased. Following are the subjects which will be taken up by the reserve veterina- rians during the twe weeks’ instruc tion: General provisions of the veter- inary service: veterinary station serv- ice: remount purchasing and breeding headquarters, purchasing boards, ports of embarkation and debarkation. transports: veterinary hospitals and hospital rules; physical examination of animals and practical demonstra- tion: veterinary sanitation: veterinary forage inspection: communicable dis- eases of animals; veterinary service in theater of operations; meat and dairy hvgiene general: reports and returns; second phases of veterinary service in theater of operations. As of April 20 and based upon high #chool quotas as announced by Lieut. Col. Wallace M. Craigie, U. S. A., re- tired, professor of military science and tactics in the Washington high schools, the applications of 5 per cent of the male enroliment of the District of Co- lumbia high schools have been re- ceived. As the time limit for securing citizens’ military training camp appli- catlons approaches, great interest is being evinced by the young men in Washington as to who will win the registered police dog (Strongheart type), which will be awarded to the citizens’ military training camp man who obtains the most candidates in the 3d Corps Area. The honor of heading the high schools in Washington in this com- petition goes to Western, which insti- tution, with a quota of 20, has already enroiled 8 men, or a percentage of 40. Next comes Central, with an author- ized quota of 60, one-fourth of which have been enrolled. or a percentage of 25. Third place belongs to Eastern, whose quota is 30, of which 7 have been enrolled, or a percentage of 23.3 McKinley High School takes fourth place, its percentage being 06. Its quota is 50, of which 3 have been enrolled. The quota of Business High School is 18, of which 4 have been enrolled, or a percentage of 22.2. St. John's is in last place, where out of an authorized quota of 10, 1 enrollment has been reported, or a percentage of .10. Announcement was made by Lieut. Col. John Scott, Infantry, executive officer of the Organized Reserves in Washington, that during the early part of this week approximately 90| citizens’ military training camp | applications had been received. which | is 58 per cent of the District of Columbia quota.

"THE SUN Reapportionment of the funds for armory drill pay for the National Guard has given the National Guard of the District of Columbia an in- crease in the allotment given:it by the War Department in the early part of the current year of more than $7.000. This will permit those units of the local citizens-sol- dier force which’ were nearly up. to the 48-drill limit originally prescribed by the President to have at least one drill a week during the remaining 12 drill periods of the fiscal year. Officers and men of the Guard are quite well pleased with:the decision. Otherwise, many of thé units would have had to perform weekly drills without pay. The restriction now placed on the use of the fund by the War Department is a limit of 60_drills a year by each unit. ‘While the deficiency fund 332,000, which was a bone of con- tention, has been released so that every unit may carry on for the re- mainder of the year at the rate of one drill a week, nevertheless, the War Department instructions s that a saving of $200,000 will in_the appropriation The District of Columbia was al- lowed 3$40,314.48 at the beginning of the fiscal year, but the new appor- tionment gives it $47,74151. The War Department’s Instructions for its expenditure are as follows “That no commitment will be made | by any State, Territory or the Dis- triet of Columbia of any sums which, | together with payments or other | commitments already made, will be | in excess of the total sum allowel | such State, Territory or the District | for the fiscal year 1925 | “That no rolls will be presented for payment of armory drills in ex cess of one per week in any unit during the remainedr of the fiscal vear 1925. “That no unit will be paid for more than 60 drills during the current | fiscal year.” The instructions further state that “the apportionment stated represents the total sum of money which will be available for the payment of armory drill pay, including administrative function pay, for all officers, warrant officers and enlisted men of the N. tional Guard of the District of Co- lumbia during the entire fiscal vear 19 You are requested to so ar range the attendance at armory drills, or the number of such drills as will | insure the carrying out of all condi- | tions imposed by paragraph one of this letter to the end fhat the ap portionment cited will not be ex ceeded.” fiscal of $1,- made | Limitation on the strength of the several units composing the National Guard of the District of Columbia was promptly placed by Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, commanding the District of Columbia militia, so that the local | organization can be kept well within | the funds. It was deemed advisable to place a restriction on each unit, it was explained, so that one organiza 3 tion could not recruit strength Immediately and then later in the Spring another organization attempt to bring its command up. and | find that funds would not be a ble. The effort is being made now s0 equalize the units that none will zet an advantage over the other lowever, while the strength is oased on a particular -number of men of each company, it was pointed out that where a command is made up of | several companies, it would be per | mitted for the commanding officer 1o | multiply the limit of each comp; by the total number of units to get the total strength of the command. and then it would be possible for some companies to have more than others. up’ to full | to DAY STAR\ {ana | trip | quarters exceed the total allowad the command as a whole.

No enlistments will be made in units now above the maxi- mum authorized strength until their strength has been reduced to the max- imum quoted herein.” Maj. Gen. Stephan invited the Rich- mond Light Infantry Blues to stop oft in this city in° May, when they are | scheduled to go to New England for 1 patriotic celebwation, and be the guests of the National Guard of the District of Columbfa on a sightseeing of the city. | The use of the armory as sleeping quarters also was offered them. : However, Maj M. F. Neale, com- manding the orggmization, said that it would be impessible to accept the in- vitation, as it was not deemed de- sirable so close to the training camp period to keep the men away from their business. “The courtesy of* your invitation,” sald M: Neale im reply, “‘was ap- preciated very much by members of the Blues, when it was read to them at drill, and with a spirit such as this prevailing throughout the division we should have the best National ard division in the country.” The Blues 4s the modern organiza- tion, the 1st Battalion f the 183 Infantry, 29th Natiopal (Guard Divi- sion.

In order to train the carpenters of the 1215t Regiment of Engineers, the Militia Bureau of the War Depart- ment has been asked for authority to purchase Tumber for this work.

NAVAL RESERVE! Considerable disappointment is manifest among officers and men of the Naval Reserve of the District of Columbia who had planned to take the Suly and Augus: cruises, because of the fact that the destroyer Toucey, which has been assigned here from the scouting fleet, will not make foreign port | Early in the Winter, it was pointad | out, rruises were arranged to Hali- fax, and officers and men were in- structed to make arrangements to go on specific dates, but these have just been changed and the Toucey, of Di- | vision 25, will pick up the reservisis here during July and August, ta themi to Newport, R. I., where th will join reservists on other destro ers of the division, and the entire outfit taken out to a for squadron maneuvers and training. Instead of going to Halifax, they will be taken to Bath, Me., for liberty. This ‘upsetting of plans, it was pointed out by those familiar with reserve activities, is just another evi dence of the Navy Department's lack of conslderation of the fact that these officers and men are engaged in civil- fan pursuits and cannot jump off on a cruise like an officer and man in the regular service being ordered to such duty. The practice of assigning ships from the regular fleet is unsatis- factory, it was said, because after plans’ are made, reservists never can feel sure until the last minute that the department will not take the ship and send it on some other duty. Several changes are being made in the officer personnel of the Toucey, preparatory to her coming here to take out the District reservists. Comdr. Willlam C. I. Stiles, who has | been on duty in the Division of Fleet | Training at the Nevy Department, here, has been detached from that | duty and ordered to command the Toucey, relieving Lieut. Comdr. (¢ Gulbranson. Lieut., junior grade, M I. Black and Ensign C. L.
