Representative of all of the nine corps areas, 26 military intelligence reserve officers will meet at the War Department June 7 for‘the purpose of pursuing a two weeks' special course of instruc- tion in military intelligence work. A very interesting and instructive course of study has been worked out by Col. James H. Reeves, Caval- ry, chief of the G-2 division of the ‘War Department general staff, who will supervise the course, and Lieut. Col. Walter O. Boswell, Infantry, executive officer of this division. The program_ as worked out by Cols. Reeves and Boswell embraces a series of conferences by the chiefs of the various divisions of the general Lieut. Col. Boswell. staff, as well as of the different sec- tions of the G-2 division. The same method of dividing the attending reservists into several subcommittees to deal with particular problems, as was done with the last group of re- serve officers who underwent a course of instruction in the department re- cently, will be applied to this military intelligence group of reserve officers. In addition to the list of names given below, it is understood that Brig. Gen. Roy Hoffman of Oklahoma City, Okla., the new president of the Reserve Offi- cers’ Association of the United States, as well as three other officers, will be detailed to the course in the near future. The following reserve officers have been ordered to take this course: Lieut. Cols. Robert C. Lowry, Dallas, Tex., and William M. Mumm, Colum- bus, Ohio. Majs. Loren R. Brooks, New Or- leans, La.; Iidwin M. Hadley, Chi- cago, 1ll.; Barge E. Leonard, Port- land, Oreg.; Edwin M. Sincere, Chi- cago, 111.; Parker Tuck, Lowell, Mass.; Claire 1.

Stiles, Sycamore, IIL A revision of Army Regulations 140-5, dealing with the appointment and promotion of reserve officers be- low the grade of general officer, and not members of the National Guard, is understood to be contemplated by the War Department. The War De- partment has asked corps area com- manders to submit the recémmenda- tions which, in their opinion, may be necessary. From certain quarters it is con- tended very strongly that the exist- ing requirements with respect to the minimum time to be served in grade ‘before a reserve officer can become eligible for promotion to the next higher grade is far too short. Train- ing facilities for the reserve officers of the country are limited, it being insisted that it is impossible for a reserve officer to qualify for promo- tion in the minimum time prescribed by the regulations. The contentio: that this time should be doubl seems to be borne out by the fact that of the approximately 100,000 reserve officers, funds are available for train- ing during the year about 15,000, and it 18 pointed out that a reserve officer in order to qualify for promotion in the minimum time set down in the regulations should at least be given an opportunity to demonstrate his fit- ness for advancement by attending camp every year. B There is food for thought in the statement which has been made in connection with this subject, that offi- cers of the regular establishment who are in a constant state of training are required to serve a far longer period in grade than the reserve offi- cers, and in fairness to the officers of these two components of the Army of the United States it is difficult to see on what grounds a reserve officer can In peace time, with limited train- ing facilities, claim a more rapid pro- motion than the regular officer who is in constant training and practice the year round. ‘With the rapid filling up of the au- thorized quotas in some of the branches of the reserve, there is every indication that something will have to be done to equalize the peace-time promotion of the regular and reserve officer. It is admitted that this may prove to be a difficult matter to ad- Jjust, and it will call for a compre- hensive study of the entire question to insure a just and equitable settle- ment for the regulation of promotion in peace time between the officers of the Regular Army and the reserve. ‘The recent return of Col. John Stew- art, commanding officer of the 343a Engineers, the local reserve engineer regiment, from over a year spent in South America in connection with dredging the mouth of the Magdalena River, was the occasion last Wednes- day evening at reserve headquarters in the Graham Building of a special meeting of the regiment. Col. Stewart commended the officers and men of the regiment, who have carried on loyally for the past year, and he also presented certificates of attendance to those whose attendance has been ex- ceptional the past season. The following Reserve officers of ‘Washington have been ordered to 15 days’ active duty training on the dates and places indicated: First Lieut. Maurice J. Roche, Military Police Re- serve, to Fort Eustis, Va., effective June 13; Second Lieut. Richard G. MoCabe, Quartermaster Reserve, to Camp Meade, Md., effective June 16; and the following medical office: Carlisle Barracks, Pa., effective June 16: Majs. Watson W. Eldridge, Jesse L. Hall, Capt. Charles B. Campbell, ‘Walter Dick, Charles C. Longcor, Dental Reserve; First Lieuts. Irving B. Tiery, Gregory Cipriani and John Andrews, all Medical Administrative Corps Reserve; v:l]l‘llhm Henry L. Colvin, Carl D. Goodill, Rus- sel J. Jensen, Joseph J. Larkin, Lee R. Martin, Willlam G. Meiman and Howard L. Smith. Two Medical Re- sérve officers from Alexandria, Va., will also underko this course of in- struction at Carlisle. They are Lieut. Col. Llewellyn Powell and First Lieut. Peter B, Pullman. About 35 officers of the 313th Field Artillery, Col. Leroy W. Herron, com- manding, a local Reserve regiment, will attend the Summer training camp of this regiment, which will be given at Fort Hoyle, Md., from July 16 to 31. Reserve officers are practically unanimous in the opinion that the as- sociate method of training with a Reg- ular Army unit is the most desirable and successful, and at Fort Hoyle this year the 313th “Regiment will be as- sociated with the 6th Fieid Artillery in its training activities, all of which will be in charge of Col. Augustine rs to | He uc!:um. ‘who is in command at Fort oyle. The only limitation which will be placed on the amount of service prac- tice engaged in by members of the 313th Fleld Artlllery at the Hoyle Reservation in July will be the am- munition allowance. - Those who have applied for this training are: Col. Leroy W. Herron, regimental commander; Maj. Percy B. McCoy, 305th Ammunition Train; First Lieut. Jesse E. Porter and Second Lieut. James R. Craighill, jr., both 496th Artillery; and the following - members of the 313th Field Armlery\ Capts. Herbert Borchardt, Hallock P. Long, Henry H. Chapman, Charles L. Ladson, Hugh K. Fulton (chaplain), Virgil O. Barnard, Edwin C. Gutelius, John W. Middendorf; First Lieuts. Edward V. Helskell, Frank W. Mc- Carthy, Frederick S. Lee, Willlam E. Barkman, Paul Schmidt, Theodore F. ‘Watts, Milton J. Landvoight; Second Lieuts. Willlam A. Kinnear, Clarence E. Geiger, Heath D. Goldsborough Carlyle V. B. Funke, Max A. Brad shaw, Robert B. Riordan, Walter K. Robert S. Chamberlain, and Craighill and Jomes, Sergts. Alexander L. John G. Jory. The 1926-6 instructional assembly program of the local Reserve units is about concluded, no meetings being scheduled for tomorrow evening, Tues- day, Thursday or next Saturday eve nings. Band practice will be held by the 343d Engineers Band Wednesda)y evening at Reserve headquarters, while the 313th Field Artillery, Col. Leroy W. Herron, command ing, will assemble at ters mext Friday evening. 2 regularly scheduled meeting of this regiment has been held, but until the regiment goes into camp at Fort Hoyle in July a meeting will be held in the Graham building every Friday for ad ditional preparation in fleld artiller firing. 0 i e Learning Arithmetic. From the Los Angeles Times. It was an arduous task for the teacher to drum into her youthful puplls the principles of arithmetic. “Now, listen,” she said. “In order to subtract, things have to be in the same denomination. This is what I mean: Now, you couldn’t take three apples from four peaches, nor eight marbles from eight buttons. It must be three apples from four apples, and so on. Do you understand?” The majority seemed to grasp the idea. One perky little youngster in the rear, however, raised a timid hand. “Please, ma'am,” he inquired “couldn’t” you take three quarts of milk from two cows?” Store Hours: 8 to 6 THE NATIONAL N.E.
