More than $80.000 is authorized in the Army appropriation bill to be ex- . pended for the 1926 national matches, which item was specially requested by Secretary of War Davis, who favors holding the national shoot vearly, a required by ‘law, instead of every #econd vear, as was recommended by the general staff. Maj. Gen. M. A. Reckord. the adjutant general of Marviand, and the newly elected ex- ecutive secretary of the National Rifle Assy tion, frankly criticized the gen. eral staff recommendation for holding the matches every two years, explain. ing that the-dectsfon waus evidently reached *“without calling into consul- tation any officer who js recognized &s an authority upon the subj N The general staff favored holding matches every two years because it was said there was not sufficient money to hold them yearly. Three prominent officers who have had much do with rifle practice and who have taken great interest in the annual matches at Camp Perry, Ohlo, have gone on record supporting the Yearly <hoot in strong terms. One of these is Maj. Gen. Robert H. Allen, chief of Infantry who declares that the natioral matches have been mis. | ul who prefers that the title matches should he the na- | tlonal school of musketry. Unless something is done, Gen. Allen has been reported us saying, interest in rifle shooting will become extinet. Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, com. mandant of the United States Marine Cory in commenting upon the matches said that the event is abso- lutelv vital to the malntenance and Increase of inte in rifle practice by the people of the country. Col. Alexander J. MacNab, on duty in the training section, office of the chief of Infantry, also strongly supports the holding of the matches yearly. Approval was given this week the War Department authorizing thl:}; Insignia of rank be worn by all mem- bers of the Chaplain Corps. The new order will be published in the near future in changes to Army regulations. 3 The shepherd’s croock was worn by Army chaplains for many years, but In 1902, with the authorization of one grade, that of captain, the Latin cross insignia was authorized to be worn on the shoulder strap, Two vears later, in 1904, three grades were created, that of first lieutenant, captaln, and major. and the Insignia of these three grades were authorized to be worn on the shoulder strap. During the World War an order was issued by the War Department which removed all traces of insignia of rank from Army chaplains. This created no lttle amount of agitation. Stripping all traces of insignia of rank has been a thorn in the side of Army chaplains and the clergy as well ever since the close of the war, this group contending for some time that there should be restored to the chaplains some concrete evidence that by virtue of their years of experience and qualifications they advance in rank, as do other officers of the military establishment. NAVY. Instractions were sent out this week by Admiral Edward W. Eberle, chief of the Bureau of Naval Operations, di- recting the commander of the Scouting % Ileet to issue the necessary orders for Division 25 to proceed so as to arrive In European waters on or before June 30, 1926, as the relief of Division 27, now on duty there. Four of the ves- sels of Division 27 will rendezvous at Cherbourg and two at Gibraltar, at which ports they will be fueled, pro- visioned and made ready to effect the necessary transfer of charts, etc., upon the arrival of Division 25. Upon the completion of the relief, Division 27 will proceed to New York, where on its arrival it will report to the command- #r of the Scouting Fleet for duty as a unit of Squadron Destroyer Squad- . ons, Scouting Fleet. Instructions ued this week by the Navy Department draw a sharp line of distinction between warrant officers and enlisted men and commis- sioned and commissioned warrant offi- cers of the Navy relative to the re.| porting of their income. The internal revenue commi ner has ruled that subsistence and quarters allowances | under the pay bill of June 10, 1922, per diem allowances including those for shore patrol and commutation for ! rations paid enlisted men and war- rant officers are not taxable incom . and need not be reported. The Navy Department also announced this week that clalms may be submitted for tax erroneously paid on this account for years embraced in the four-year limi- tation period. Commissioned officers, including commissioned warrant offi- cers, the commissioner of internal revenue has ruled, must report and pay tax on subsistence allowances, but not on rental allowances. Bix lieutenants (junior grade) and two ensigns have been selected, upon their own applications, to pursue a post-graduate course of instruction in aerology, the actual which nite. credit of rather ace the hospital in the department, the student officers will proceed to the Naval Academy, where they are due to report on July Army and Navy News " o one-year course.
