A man should do & kindly deed every day and yesterday while we were waliting our turn in the dentist's chair another man came in with a jaw swol- len twice as much as ours was and we let him have our place while we quiet- Iy withdrew until a more convenient time. ‘The moving picture laboratory and all moving picture equipment used by the 260th Coast Artillery has been placed in charge of Sergt. John B. De Spears, accord- ing to an an- nouncement of Maj. Walter W. Burns, command- ing this branch of the National Guard of the Dis- trict of Columbia. Sergt. De Spears also has been made one of the gun commanders of this outfit. He has had a varied military career, al- though yet ' a young man. When in his boyhood he entered the British army in 1910 and served throughout the war and until 1919, having reached the rank of Heu- tenant. With this army he served in both India and France. From 1919 to 1921 he served in the 42d United States Infantry and from 1921 to 1924 served with the United States Marine Corps. After leaving the Marine Corps he entered the service of the Natfonal Guard of the District of Co- lumbia. SERGT. DE SPEARS. Two companies of the 121st Regi- ment of Engineers, A and E, during the past three months fell below the required strength of 60 men, and it was found necessary to give them an additional inspection, with full equipment, in order to ascertain whether they could retain the Federal recognition. At the inspection last Tuesday night by Maj. W. E. R. Covell,” Assistant Engineer Commis. sioner of the District of Columbia and also inspector instructor of the local guard, Company E presented 62 men, but Company A had only 44, Cvery effort will be made to recruit this command up to the strength re- quired by the War Department so that the full number of companies may be taken to the Virginia Beach camp. The men of this command will be urged to bring in enough recruits. However, there is a probability that even if the recruiting fails that sev- eral of the company commanders whose organizations are above strength may transfer men, so that all of the companies may go to camp this Summer. Otherwise, if it be- comes necessary to disband the com- pany on account of Federal recogni tion, the members will be distributed to the other units of the regiment. Estimates to cover the cost of send- ing the National Guard of the Dis- trict of Columbia to a training camp next Summer must be in the hands of the militia bureau before July 15. While it has not been determined where the encampment for next year will be held, according to officlals at guard headquarters there is a prob- ability that the estimates will be pre. pared with the idea in mind of send- ing it to Virginia Beach, Va., again next year. The dispatch of the troops to such a camp as this, instead of to the engineer camp at Fort Humphreys.

Another quarter for armory drill pay was ended June 30, but under a new ruling of the War Department no unit of the National Guard here may be paid until the rolls for all units are in the hands of the finance officer. The first to get in its rolls was the Headquarters and Service Company of the 121st Engineers, but its pay day will depend on the speed with which the other organization commands prepare and submit their rolls. Heretofore units have been paid as their rolls were completed. More than $3,000 in back pay was distributed to the officers of the local guard at drill last Tuesday. The pay covers a period of three years and was for longevity and commutation of quarters and was made possible by the passage last Summer of an act authorizing this for National Guard officers. The checks ranged from $2 to $250. Capt. Jorgensen, commanding Com- pany C, 12ist Engineers, announced that his organization will have a Sum- mer camp at Camp Simms, Congress Heights, D. C., from August 8 to 14, when it will break so that this or- ganization may join the rest of the command on the annual encampment at Virginia Beach, Va. A number of the men will be at the camp all day, but most of them will only spend the night there, spending the early and late dayligrt hours in rifle prac- tice. For this they receive no pay and must subsist themselves, owing to the shortage of funds for rifle prac- tice and camp purposes at the dis- posal of the National Guard of the District of Columbia. Sergt. John A. Schricker, Company A, 121st Engineers, has been awaded a distinguished marksman medal. He Just re-enlisted last Tuesday. For the purpose of stirring up a little competition, Capt. Jorgensen has announced that he has divided his command into two platoons. Lieut. ‘Walter S. Welsh has been placed in charge of the first platoon and Lieut. George R. Harbin, recently commis- sioned, has been placed in command of the second platoon. Sergt. Schrick- er will be senior sergeant of the first and Sergt. Beck senfor sergeant of the second platoon. The first com- petitive goal for the two to work for will be a_recrulting and attendance record. The losing platoon will en- tertain the winners at a dinner in camp in August, according to Capt. Jorgensen. Pvt. Charles W. Lee has been trans- ferred from the headquarters unit to the band section of the Headquarters and Service Company. Capt. Thomas A. Lane has been | visions, each division being the nucleus |reserve of officers who have seen war JULY 5, 1925—PART 3. reassigned to command Company F, 121st Engineers, relieving First Lieut. John W. Johns, who will remain with this command. Capt. Lane was re lieved of his command_ while he was at Fort Humphrevs, Va. for three months attending the course at the engineers’ school Pvt. Bernard A. Buscher, Medical Detachment, 121st Engineers, has been recommended by Maj. George J. Allen for promotion to staff sergeant in this unit. The automatic rifle school will hold a session at the rifle range at Con gress Heights, D. C., July 21, accord- ing to Capt. Sidney Morgan, in structor. The students will fire on the range with the light Browning automatics at landscape targets a range of 1,000 inches. This is a mintature musketry problem where the men fire at a painted landscape with sights set at 13,000 yards and the shots are immediately recorded in an apparatus above the sceners Owing to the fact that a number of men will be out of the city during the present holiday, Col. John W. Oeh- mann, commanding the 121st Engi- neers, has authorized tne suspension of the band rehearsal scheduled for today at the Armor: Company A, 121st Engineers, heads the list in attendance at drill for last week, according to the percentages made up at guard headquarters. It had at drill an attendance percentage of 76.55, and the other units in order with percentages of standing follow: Company F, 121st Engineers, 69.81; Company C, 121st Engineers, 63.63. Company E, 121st Engineers, 62.06: Company A, 1st Separate Battalion, Infantry, 60.80; Headquarters and Service ‘Company, 121st Engineers, 59.25; Medical Detachment, 121st En. gineers, 59.09: 29th Military Police Company, 59.09: Company B, 121st Engineers, 58.00; Company D, 121st Engineers, 52.72; Band, 121st Engi- neers, 51.61; Battery A, 260th Coast Artillery, 50, and Battery B, 260th Coast Artillery, 48.07. Capt. Louis M. Gosorn will be in command of the 260th Coast Artillery during the defense test, in the absence from the city of Maj. Walter W. Burns. Maj. Burns, commanding the Coast Artillery unit, has announced that his unit will leave for camp on August 15, proceeding by motor truck and auto- mobile over the road to Fort Monroe, Va., where the encanmpment will be held. " The camp barracks, he says, in a notice to the command, will He with- in 100 feet of the Chesapeake Bay and one mile from Buckroe Beach, a Sum. mer resort. There will be swimming twice a day, and it is planned to con- clude all drills by 3 p.m., except on target practice days. In order to carry out the Summer camp program so that every one will have an enjovable time with not too much work,” he says, “it will be necessary to have several trips to Fort Washington, Md., for training on the 10-inch guns. Our program calls for a two-day maneuver in nearby Virginla, July 4 and 5. In view of the fact that many are to be away for th time, it has been decided to call this off. It is expected, however, that full co-operation will be given in securhmg the best results from the Fort Wash- ington trips. The first trip will be made on July 11 and 12, leaving Satur- day night at 6 o'clock if boat accom modations can be secured. If not, we will go by trucks. Barracks wili be provided about five minutes’ walk from the battery. The following week another trip will be made. There will be a Sunday boat on the 19th, and all men are asked to invite their friends to come down and make it an outing. | There will be no drills on Wednesday following the Sunday drills. A non-commissioned officers’ school will be held at Fort Washington for the Coast Artillerymen on July 28 Naval Reserve. Reorganization of the local naval reserve under the new act will be put into effect tomorrow, when Lieut Commander J. B. Blood will take com: mand of the local battalion. The ef- ect of the reorganization is to relieve Commander John A. Schofield of this command, and the establishment of a policy of not having an officer who is on active duty with the Navy Depart- ment in command of an inactive re- serve unit. Commander Schofield’s | assignment to the local reserve in cemmand and his retention of his reg- ular position in the naval reserve di- vision of the Navy Department has been the subject of considerable crit- icism, as it has the effect of requir- ing inactive reservists taking orders from a regular officer. Then, too, it served to make the local reserve unit an experimental unit, and under the order of things as they prevailed un- der the old system its progress was quite small. The new organization will be on the basis of a battalion, with one head. quarters company and three fleet di- of a destroyer crew for service in time of emergency. The effect also of the reorganization is to leave a number of officers as supernumeraries, with no assignment, and unless some of those already assigned leave before January 1 next, the supernumeraries Wwill be lost to the reserve as they will be either forced to go to class 6 or get out of the reserve entirely. Those familiar with the reserve operations point out that the effect of the new law, instead of building up a strong service, has been to drive them out, just the opposite as is being done in the Army. However, it was pointed out, much the same thing is being done with the regular naval officers, particularly those of lower ranks, in the consideration of the new person- nel bill of the Navy, which will have the effect of forcing out of the Navy the younger element. All of the divislons as reorganized show a shortage of men, and the di- vision commanders are expected to recruit them up to full strength. Although there are a number of de- stroyers out of commission at Phila- delphia, being the East coast service destroyers, the Navy Department has assigned the local reservists to de- stroyers in reserve at San Diego, Calif., probably assigning the West coast reservists to East coast detroy- ers, showing one of the many incon- sistencies in the organization, the more serious of which is the leaving of officers unassigned, and leaving with the divisions many officers who have had little or no war service. Lieut. Commander Finney B. Smith has been assigned to command the headquarters division of the battalion, with the following other officers: Lieut. Walter C. Lockhart, chief en- gineer; Lieut. Thomas J. Kennedy, medical officer, and Lieut. (junior grade) Robert W. Wilson, supply of- ficer. Six men have been assigned to this division, and there are four va- cancies. Lieut. Albert Wing has been assigned to command the First Fleet Division, which will be the nucleus crew for the destroyer Aulick. The others offi- cers are: Lieut. (junior grade) Harold E. Richardson, Ensign John M. Few- ell, Ensign Gordon W. Daisley and Chief Boatswain Willis B. Hazleton. Thirtytwo men are assigned, and there are 18 vacancles to be filled. Lieut. Harry J. Nichols will com- mand the Second Fleet Division, the nucleus crew of the destroyer Welles. The other officers are Lieut. (junlor | 1918, | arrival grade) Clarence Z. Logan, Ensign H. L. Eimers, Ensign Edward M. Graham and Chief Radio Electriclan Fred B. Monar. There are 31 men in this divi- sion, with 19 vacancies to be filled. The Third Fleet Division will be commanded by Lieut. (Junior grade) S. Maj. Charles P. George, Field Artillery, who graduated last week | from the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kans reported for duty this week at Or- ganized Reserve headquarters n the Graham Build- ing. Maj. George went overseas in 1917 with the 6th Field Artillery, 1st Divi- sion. Due to his ability as an ar- tilleryman, he was lled to the United States in and upon his on Amer- ican shores, he was assigned to duty as director of the firing center at Fort Sill, Okla. From the latter part of 1918 to 1921 he served on the general staff in Washington. Upon his relief from duty with the general staff, Maj. George was placed in com mand of the Ist Battalion of the 16th Field Artillery, Fort Myer, Va., with which organization he served until his departure in the early Autumn of 19 for Fort Leavenworth. He also served while overseas: as batallion adjutant of the 51st Field Artillery Brigade. His assignment to reserve head quarters in Washington will greatly relieve the personnel shortage in the Capital, but even with the addition of this officer, there will be a lack of sufficient personnel with which to ad. minister the affairs of the rapidly growing Reserve Corps in Washing ton. Maj. Albert S. Tucker, In fantry, also a graduate of the 19 class of the Command and General Staff School, is under orders to report to the Washington reserve headquar ters, of which Lieut. Col. John Scott, | Infantry, is executive officer. Maj Tucker s due to report to Col. Scott | about August 1 MAJ. C. P. GEORG A question frequently asked not only by newly commissioned reserve officers, but by those who have held reserve commissions for some time. the meaning of “BA,” “TA" and *“C assignment groups. Reserve officers coming under “TA group means territorfal assignment This is by far the largest of the three | groups, and the reservists composing this group are allocated to the corps area commander, who has lru]u'\mn; as to their assignment to organizations | under the control of the corps area commander.

For example, the officers who | will operate in time of war under spe- cial assignments are directly under the control of the chief of infantry, quar termaster general, chief of field artil-| lery, chief of cavalry, surgeon gen-| eral, etc. [ “GA" stands for general assign-| ment.

His active duty will be spent at reserve headquarters in the Graham Building. assignment com branch A spirited discussion is going on in reserve circles in Washington as to| the exact definition of a certificate of capacity, which must be held by ever: | reserve officer before he can be pro- moted to the next higher grade. Ac-| cording to the expressions of opinion heard whenever a number of res ist 1 meet, the implication of “certificate of | capacity” has a varied meaning | As defined by the War Department, a certificate of capacity is an instru- ment in writing executed under the di rection of the corps area commander. | which certifies that the officer named | therein possesses the necessary pro-| fessional qualifications to perform the | duties and to assume the responsibili- | ties of the grade and branch specified in the certificate. From time to time the War Depart ment will determine the standard | specifications for these certificates for | all grades and sections. Announce- | ment of the subjects to be covered, the degree of proficiency to be required in each subject, the manner of conduct-| ing instruction and training: manuals, | textbooks, troop schools, correspond-{ ence courses, training camps ses at special and general service schools and any other facilities through which reserve officers can prepare themselv to meet the prescribed standard be made by the department. Com- manders of Organized Reserve units| and regular officers detailed to duty | therewith will make extensive efforts to induce reserve officers to qualify for certificates of capacity. | When a reserve officer satisfactorily | completes all of the required examina- tions and the practical test prescribed in paragraphs 52 and 53 in Army Reg- ulations 140-5, a certificate of capacity will be issued. These certificates will | be fssued, first, for the next higher | grade In the section in which ap-| pointment is held, and secondly, for | the same or any lower grade in any section other than that in which ap- pointment is held. Application to undergo the written examination required for one or more of the subjects prescribed for a cer. tificate of capacity, will be made through military channels, to the re- serve officer’s regimental or indepen- dent unit commander, by whom the application will be referred to one of | the examiners designated to act as| such for his unit. Whenever a re- serve officer believes himself to be pre- pared to undergo a second examina-| tion in a particular subject he will | make application to be re-examined. | Upon the successful completion of all subjects for which written exami nations are required for a certificate of capacity, a practical test will be | given to each reserve officer for final | determination of his qualifications for this certificate. In order to take the practical test for certificate of capacity for the next higher grade in the sec tion in which appointment is held, ap- plication will be made through mili- tary channels to the corps area com- mander at any time after the officer shall have completed a minimum time in grade, as follows: As second lieutenant, one year; as first lieutenant, two years; as captain, three years; as major, three years,and as lieutenant colonel, two years.
