Army and Navy News é;d. H. Mclntyre. NAVY. Friends of Rear Admiral J. K. Robison, engineer-in-chief of the Navy, it is understood, intend to air the entire controversy relative to his being passed over on the promotion list unless some sort of a declaration is made by the President and the Secretary of the Navy which indi- cates that the administration has ac- cepted the decision of the courts in the ofl lease litigation. The sup- porters of the chief engineer have an nounced that they will no longer tol- erate the injustices which have been inflicted upon the admiral, but {t is believed that the entire matter will be adjucated before it reaches the halls of Congress. The contention is made by the friends of Admiral Robison that he is entitled to the vacancy in the grade of rear admiral of the line, which existed on, June 5, 1924, at which time the Navy selection board recom- mended him for promotion. It is noted in this connection that the 1925 Register gives Admiral Robi son’s name as a rear admiral of the line. senior to Admiral Willard. It i& pointed out in certain quarters that the 1925 selection board did not se- lect. Admiral Robison out for promo- tion, because it was thought that the President would give him a recess ap- pointment. It is not thought that Capt. Thomas J. Senn, who is first on the selections for this vear, will be tendered the vacancy ahead of Rear Admirals Hough, \Willard and Christy, to which, according to the 1924 selection board, Rear Admiral Robison was entitled. Animated discussion is already being made by the Navy line personnel bill, better known as the Britten bill, which was drawn up as the result of conferences recently held by Repre. sentative Fred A. Britten, Admiral E. W. Eberle, U. S. N., chief of naval operations; Read Admiral Hillary P. Jones, U. 8. N., member of the Gen- eral board; Rear Admiral W. R. Shoemaker, U. S. N., chief of the Bu- reau of X igation; Rear Admiral E. H. Campbell, U. S. Judge Advo- cate General of the Navy, and Com- mander J. H. McCain, U. S. N. The present draft of the bill is tentative only, and it has not yet been approved by the Secretary of the Navy. The bill is subject to changes before it will be submitted to Congress, but as it is now framed the provisions of the bill will make the following changes: 1. It substitutes’ yea of service since graduation for age in grade in determining eligibility for promotion and extends the provisions for ineli- gibflity for promotion downward to include lieutenants and lieutenants (junior grade) instead of lieutenant commanders, as before, by providing for retirement in the grades of captain, commander, licutenant commander, lisutenant and lleutemant (Junior grade) after a total service of 35, 28, 21, 14 or 7 years, respectively. 2. Establishes a common point from which service since graduation shall be considered to originate in the case of all officers, namely, the first of July following their graduation from the Naval Academy, considering that all officers have completed a four-year course at the academy. 3. Provides for the complete sepa-| ration from the service of lieutenants and lieutenants (Junior grade) who fail of promotion by selection after having | served 14 and 7 years, respectively, since graduation, with two years base pay of their grade. 4. Provides that officers with more than 10 years' naval service previous to the date of their permanent com-| mission shall be retired with 2% per cent of their base pay for each year of their to service., 5. Extends the existing law for se- lection for. promotion from the rank of ljeutenant to lieutenant commander and from lieutenant (junior grade) to lieutenant, instead of as at present from the rank of lieutenant com- mander to commander. 6. Provides that ex-warrant and ex-commissioned and warrant officers holding the rank of lieutenant and lieutenant (junior grade) If not selected for promotion shall have the option of reverting to their former permanent warrant status. 7. Provides that not more than 10 per cent of officers of any grade shall be retired in any one year. 8. Specifically retains the general retirement age of 64 years, as in the present law. 2 9. Provides for the retirement of officers appointed from sources other than from the Naval Academy after they have served seven years in any grade other than that of lieutenant (Junior grade) provided they have been passed over in selection for promotion when the Naval Academy class next junior to them become ineligible for Ppromotion The Marine detachment of U. 8. 8. Arizon: Capt. L. E Miller, U. S. M. C., commanding, with Second Lieut. H. E. Dunkelberger, U. 8. M. C., as assistant, was awarded the cup presented by the Sons of the Revolution to the battleship Marine de- tachment showing the greatest pro- ficiency during the fiscal year. This cup is awarded annually upon the recommendation of a board made up of the Marine officers attached to the staffs of the various unit command- ers, and the award is based upon the efficiency of the detachment as shown by the standing in short-range battle practice, small arms, etc Approval was given this week by the Secretary of the Navy of the new regulations governing the organiza- tion and administration of the Naval Reserve, issued in accordance with the provisions of the act approved February 28, 1825, effective July 1, 1925. These regulations supersede all previous or existing regulations, gen- eral orders or instructions relating to the Naval Reserve. ‘With the approval of the new Naval Reserve regulations this junior com- ponent pf the regular naval establish- ment adopts for the first time a prac- tical method of training Naval Re- serve officers in time of peace for a specific duty in time of war. In reality it is the first steps which have been made by the department in building up an efficient Naval Reserve force. The board of officers who have been engaged for some time in rev aval Reserve regulations in accordance with the act of February 28, 19 s as follows: Capt. C. F. Macklin S. Comdr. J. M. Smeallie, T Lieut. Comdrs. V. L. Kirkman, H. H. Frost, J. H. Falge, all U. S. N., and Comdr. J. A. Scho- fleld, U Barnes Leslie C Any Nav: : R. F.; Lieuts. A. E. nd W. M. Dillon, U. 8. N., and Nemar, J. A. G. Reserve Force officer holding provisional rank may be ap- pointed in the same rank in either the Volunteer Naval Reserve or in the Merchant Marine Naval Reserve if he is serving in the same respective class on the date his application is received in the bureau. Neither pro- fessional nor record examination Is required. The applicant must apply after July 1, 1925, and prior to the expiration of his current enrollment { and prior to January 1, 1926, on the form prescribed. The new regulations provide Yor a Fleet Naval Reserve, composed of a collection of trained organizations assigned in advance to certain definite duties on certain definite vessels, mostly destroyers, so that upon thi order to mobilize the reserve crews from these organizations will be ready to immediately embark on the vessels to which they are assigned. Another feature embodied in the new regulations is that the findings of the medical board in cases of appoint- rment or promotion in or transfer to 1 | hard enough in 24 hours to permit the Fleet Naval Reserve shall state whether the candidate is or is not found physically qualified to, perform all the duties of his rank at sea. Since the Naval Reserve act does not require a Naval Reserve officer to be found physically qualified for duty on board a combatant vessel in time of war, findirgs in this respect should not be entered. Physical defects will not be waived for appointment in or transfer to the Fleet Naval Reserve and walvers for physical defects for promotion will not be granted where physical defects are present. Under the new regulations Classes 1, 2 and 5 will go into the Fleet Naval Reserve; Class 3 will be enrolled in the Mer- chant Marine Naval Reserve; while Classes 4 and 6 will be enrolled in the Volunteer Naval Reserve. ARM The favorable decision of the Court of Claims in the Capt. Daniel Noce, C. . U. S. A, case, pertaining to credit for service at the Military Academy. was unexpectedly reversed in the Supreme Court of the United States. It was insisted by Chief Jus- tice Taft, who delivered the opinion of the court, that the act of 1920 was for the purpose of equalizing the pay between six of the services and that it was not concerned with equalizing the pay of the others. This decision | affects hundreds of officers in the service and terminates a controversy of many years' standing. The quotation of the laws embrac- ing the subject upon which the case decided reads as follows: ‘That hereafter longevit officers in the Army, Nav Corps, Coast Guard, Public Health Service and Coast Geodetic Surveys shall be based on the total of all serv- ice in any and all of said services. pay for Marine That the designations of units com- prising the fortifications of the United States may be more truly de- scriptive, and that they may more nearly conform to the terms used in other branches of the service, the fol- lowing changes, which will appear un- der War Department general orders No. 13, current series, will be directed by the department. They are: 1. The principal harbor defense tac- tical and administrative unit, hereto- fore designated the “Coast Defense Command,” will hereafter be known as the “Harbor Defense.” The com- manding officer of such a unit will be called the “Harbor Defense Comman- der,” and his staff, the “Harbor De. fense Staff.” 2. The unit heretofore designated the “Fort Command” will hereafter be known as the “Fort.” 3. Units heretofore designated the “Fire Command” and the “Mine Com- mand” will be known as the “Group.” Two important steps have been taken by the Ordnance Department in the past two weeks with a view of improving the stability of the 3-inch antiaircraft gun, model of 1918, trail mount. The first step taken was that of providing a mount with longer side outriggers a_nd four additional front. riggers, which did not give the de- sired results. The other step, that of providing an emergency concrete plat form from Which the guns were to be fired, appears to be the real solution to the problem. In this connection it is interesting to note that the cement used for these gun platforms, which is called quick-setting cement, sets firing. The old cement used in the construction of these gun platforms required at least 30 days before gun firings were permitted. That the eligibility of physicians for appointment -as’ first leatenants in the Medlcal Corps of the regular establishment may be determined, the War Department announced this week that an examination would be held at the varlous ppbts and stations throughout the country from Septem- ber 14 to 18, 1925. Simultaneously with this War Department pronounce- ment, it was also announced that an examination will also be held for applicants for appointment as second lieutenants in the Medical Adminis- trative Corps, Regular Army, from September 14 to 20, 1925, at the vari ous stations. At the present time there are 58 vacancies In the Medical Corps of the regular establishment, and between this time and July 1 two more will be added to the list, making a total of 60 vacancies in this corps, or approximately 6 per cent. There is one vacancy in the Medical Admin- istrative Corps and four in the Veteri- nary Corps. Medical Corps applicants for ap- pointment to the Regular Army must not only be graduates of an accepted medical institution, but they must be between the ages of 23 and 32 years at the time they are commissioned and have completed since their gradu- ation one year of clinical training in an accredited hospital. In the event that candidates Who have not com- pleted their clinical year of training, but qualify otherwise, they will be authorized to undergo the examina- tion and, being found qualified pro- fessionally, will be tendered their ap- pointments when they complete their clinical training. Following the ap- pointment of the successful candl- dates, they will take a one year's course of instruction at the Army Medical School, Washington, D. C., and the Medical Fleld Service School at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. Medical students who meet with the above requirements and who are desirous of entering the military service can secure permission to take the examination by communi- cating with the adjutant general of the Army, Washington, D. C., or with the military station nearest their homes. In the presence of the ordnance ex- perts of the Regular Army and representatives of the other arms of the service, a bullet-proof vest, com- posed of three thin sheets of metal, conclusively ~demonstrated its in- vulnerabllity even when an Army .45-caliber' automatic was fired point blank within 2 or 3 feet of the target. Among the Army officers who wit- nessed the demonstration were: Maj. Herbert O'Leary, O. D., in charge of the test, and ' Capt. Carl C. Terry, 0. D., from the office of the chief of ordnance; Col. John H. Hughes, infantry, executive officer of the office, chlef of infantry; Col, Harry E. Knight, infantry, on duty in the office of the chief of infantry; Lieut. Col. F. G. Kellond, infantry, chief of the equipment section, office of the chief of infantry, and Maj. John B. Coulter, cavalry, office of the chief of cavalry. For a small man the vest would weigh about 73 pounds, while for a larger man the weight would be about 10 ‘pounds. The vest can be placed flat against the back on the bottom of a soldiet’s pack, but in view of the efforts of the War Depart- ment in reducing the weight of the pack, it is not known how the War Department authorities will view. this new body protector for line troops. Not only this, but the cost -of ,th bullet-proof vest would enter largely Into the question im the event that THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE 21, 1925—PART 1. Civilian Army News Maj. Gen. George C. Rickards, the first National Guard officer to be chiet of the Militia Bureau, whose fourth term as chief of this branch will expire on June 28, will be succeeded by Col. Creed C. Ham- mond June 29, who upon his as- sumption to his new office, will have the rank of a major general. Gen. Rickards was first appoint- ed chief of the Militia Bureau by President Wilsan in 1921, but Con- gress adjourned without confirma. tion. He w again selected by President Harding and appointed major general to rank from June 7. 1921, and assumed the dutles of chief, Militia Bureau, July 2,1921. His acceptance gave him the honor and distinction of being the first National Guard officer to fill this important assignment, made pos- sible by the Act of Congress approved June 4, 1520, which act also provided for the reorganization ef the Army. Prior to the enactment of this law, the duties of chief of the Militia Bureau were performed by an officer of the Regular Establishment. Gen. Rickards, who held a commission as colonel in the Officers’ Reserve Corps, was at the time of his appointment on active duty with the war plans division of the War Department Gen- eral Staff, having been called to active duty and detailed as an_additional member of the General Staff Corps on July 16, 1920 Enlisting in the National Guard of Pennsylvania on June 9, 1877, Gen Rickards rose from the ranks to com- missfon grade as a second lieutenant on October 21, 1881, since which date he has passed through the various commissioned grades, becoming & brigadier general June 19, 1919. Dur ing the Spanish-American War as a leutenant colonel he commanded the 16th Pennsylvania Infantry, being promoted to the grade of colonel on October 24, 1898, and mustered out with his regiment in December, 1895. He was in command of 16th Pennsyl- vania Infantry on the Mexican border from July, 1916, to January, 1917, and commanded the same regiment from his call into service, July 15, 1917, through its reorganization as the '112th Infantry of the 28th Di- vision (Pennsylvania National Guard), on October 15, 1917, and throughout its service in the World War. Dur- ing the month of September, 1918, he commanded the 56th Brigade, 28th Di- vision, i the American Expeditionary Forces, was injured during the Ar- gonne offensive on September 27, 1918, necessitating his asking for re: lief on the 20th of September, and was confined in the hospital from Yeptember 30 until October 10. He returned to the command of his old regiment, the 112th Infantry, on Octo- ‘ver 12 and continued with it through- out its service, being mustered out at Camp Dix, N. J., on May 2, 1919 Gen. Rickards, as colonel of the 112th Infantry, participated with his regiment in the battle of Chateau Thierry, July 4-15, 1918; Champagne Marne, July 13-18; Alsace Marne, July 18 to August 6 Fiemes, August 7-Sep- tember 3; Oise-Aisne, September 4-7; Meuse-Argonne, September 26-October Thiaucourt sector, October 18-No- vember 11, 1918. He was cited by Gen. Pershing and_awarded the D tinguished Service Medal. In no part of his military record does Gen. Rick- ards take greater pride than that he commanded the same regiment in the Spanish-American War, the Mexican border, and the World War. Maj. Gen. Rickards. Twenty-three Reserve officers repre- sénting all sections of the country gathered in Washington last Monday to pursue their fifteen-day active duty training in the military intelligence division of the War Department. They were immediately formed into com- mittees for the purpose of facilitating a study of the organization of the Army and the War Departments; the peace and war problems of the mili- tary intelligence division, War De- partment general staff; the activitie: of Reserve officers, and to make rec- ommendations thereon. In addition to their instruction in the War De- partment, these officers will visit Camp Meade, Md., to observe the field training of the Organized Reserves, National Guard, and the Reserve Of- ficers’ Training Corps, and to witness a demonstration of Army tanks in combat practice. Before concluding their training, the reservists will visit the Army War College to hear the re- ports of the graduating class on their study of reconnaissance and maneuver plans being conducted in the field. The reserve officers taking this train- ing with their respective locations are as_follow. Lieut. Cols. Charles W. Furlong, Boston, Mass.; Ray W. Berdeau, New York City, and George C.

Col. John Scott, Infantry, and his assistant executive officer, Capt. James B. Golden, F. A., are working to make this the acid test of the Reserve Corps, the greatest ac- complishment of the Washington re- servists. In_Washington and vicinity there are 56 reserve organizations compris- ing a membership of about 2,500 re- serve officers, which will be called to service in case of emergency. These organizations have already been as- signed a complete quota of officers and the adoption of the vest was con- sidered by the department, and in view of the limited appropriations now available for the many activities of the military establishment it was pointed out by regular officers that, though they were greatly impressed with this new body protection crea- tion, a definite statement could not be made at this time as to its practi- cability for service use. The tests a skeletonized cadre of enlisted re- servists.

Scott said: ery officer and enlisted man of the Organized Reserves residing in ‘Washington and vicinity should fully consider that the defense test is peculiarly a test of the Reserve Corps and of himself as a part of same. The necessity for actual personal re- port is emphasized as pertaining to all. This is your obligation as a re serve officer and your duty as a patriotic American citizen. Every of- ficer present increases the prestige of his corps. ““Assembly for Defense Test day will be held at the Washington Audi- tortum July 4 at 9 am. Every reserve officer in Washington on that day, permanent or transient, is ex- pected to be present at this muster, in uniform if possible, and every ‘Washington officer should make spe- cial efforts to be in this city on the morning of July 4. “Muster blanks have been mailed to all reserve officers, which each re- servist should make out in advance and present to the adjutant of their respective organization, amm or branch at the Auditorium. This will expedite registration and will permit a correct recheck of your address and assign- ment. “In case you cannot be present in Washington on that day. mail your muster blank to headquarters, Or- ganized Reserves, Graham Building, Washington, D. C., so that it will reach headquarters July 3 or 4, not before. In addition to the above, re- port if. you are in some other place, and if there is a demonstration being held, you should participate in same.” A circular conveying full informa- tion as to the activities of the mem- bers of the Organized Reserves to meet local conditions and arrange- ments will be sent to all reserve offi- cers residing in Washipgton within the next few days.
