That the com missioned personnel of the Regu.ar Army are taking more than passing interest in this proposed revision of the Army promotion ii=t is evidenced by the large number of replies which have already been received by the de. partment in answer to \War Depart- ment, eircular No. 13, sent out recently by the department.

The indications we that this selection will not be made until the board, which will con- vene late in the Fall, will also recom- nend Medical Corps officers for pro- motion to the ranks of captain and commander. Only those captains whose line running mates have been selected for rear admiral will be eligi- Dble for consideration by the board.

William Elmer Buéchler, who goes to command Company A. Orders have been issued by Guard headquarters outlining the dates for wearing the woolen and cotton uni- forms. It is prescribed that thé woolén uniform shall be worn between October 1 and May 15 and the cotton uniform hetween May 18 and Septem- ber 30. Preparations now are being made to recall the cotton uniforms which were worn by the troops during their encampment,” and these will be stored in the general storéhouse after they go through the cléaning proce and the woolen uniforms are being prepared for isaue. Officérs at brigadé heéadquartérs have indicated their pleasuré at the fine report received by the 260th Coast Artillery, Maj. Walter W. Burns com- | manding, on the work and duty per-| formed at the recent training camp | at Fort Monroe, Va. The réport, made by Maj. Roger B. Colton, U. €. Army, particuiarly cémmends the in- dividuals and the regiment for thé fol- lowing: Suitability of training sched- ule, execution of training, execution of target practice, military béaring and deportment. morale. police, rec- ords and reports, medical require- ments, range section, battery drill and service practice. He gave a general rating of “véry satisfactory” to both Batteries A and B. which compose the local regiment, but adds specifically that the gun sec tions had not been sufficiently drilled. and says that there was some delay in training at the beginning of the camp. He adds. however, that thie could Be obviated by sending a largér advance party for a longer period ahead of the main body of troops. These could make preparations so that the éntire unit would not be de. layed in any way when they arrive. He gays that they did obtain the train- ing objective which they established. The importance of sénding a dele- gate to represent the local Guard at the annual meeting of the Asasocla- tion of Military Surgeons of the United States, to bé held in Philadel- phia October 14, 15 and 18, has been called to the attention of the local organization in a lettér from Maj. Gen. Creed C. Hammond, chief of the Mi litia Bureau of thé War Department. Asidé from its importancé to the sérvice medical personinel, Gén. Ham. mond points out that this year's pro- gram will be particularly attractive eince theé meeting s at Philadelphia, where the Sesquicentennial Exposition is in progreéss, and one session will be held in the “Sesqui” grounds and at the League Island Navy Yard. He expresses theé éarnest hopeé that the local Guard will be represented. Capt. 8. M. Grayson, medical officer of the 280th Coast Artillery, now {# taking a service course at the Army Medical School at Carlisle Barracke, Pa., which will be concluded in_time for him to go to Philadélphia. Guard officials announced that they proposed to have Capt. Grayson proceed to Philadelphia for the convention, and had written to Capt. Grayson to as- certain whether it would beé possible for him to attend. Officers assigned to the administra- tive staff of the local Guard will be required this-year to put in driil timé by taking the miiitary correspondence courses prescribed for their réspective branches of the service, according to orders just fssued at brigade head quarters, These officers have been in- structed to confér with Maj. Louis C. Brinton, ir., thé senior Instruétor, for the purpose of selécting thé coursés which they will take. These officers will be given credit for armory drill attendance at the rate one drill for !one and one-half hours of work com- pleted. Guard officers point out that these courses are most valuable to staff of ficers by keeping them up with the military practice. and permits thém to perform their duty at their offices or homes. Otherwise they would be required to put in an appearance at the armory each drill night and put in time on duty léss valuable than that performed by taking the study courses and working out the probleme prescribed in them. Seveéral of the unita of the Guard appear to be having some dificulty in keeping their units up to the strength required by the War Department, both for pay purposes during the armory drill perfod and for the purposes of allowing a unit to take part in the annual encampment. Before thé last encampment thére was considerable juggling of names of enlisted men on paper so that all the units could go to camp, and now there is moré of it to permit the units to function in ac- cordance with War Department regu- lations. The latest move is to trans fer men from the active Guard to the Reserve and vice versa. Officers of the Guard explain that thers are many men who cannot at- tend armory drills during the year, but who want to go to camp. These are kept in the Reseérve during the year so as not to count as absentees against the unit. and when time comes for the camp they are transterred to the active list. On the other hand, there are men who can attend ar- mory drills but cannot g6 to camp These latter then are transferred pre. vious to the encampment to the Re. serve. so that the required strengths vill show on paper.

Even during the period of the en- o ent, it was necessary to trans r men from one company to another in order t6 comply with the regula- tions goveérning strength. As a mat. \ter of fact, for several months before camp there were several units of the engineers below strength, and to make it possible for them to go to ¢amp men were transferred from the other units. An instance of this manipulation of names {8 contained in the following orders issued by headquarters: Ser Albert J. Kubeldzis and Pvts. James F. .Earl C. Deery, Charles A. Monroe, Georgé C. Howard. Albert L. Johngon, ir., and Charles W.

Pvts. John Bell, John A. Eaton, Ralelgh G. Harris, Frank S. Misterly Willlam E. Pattéerson, Heérman O, Ptalzgraph of Company A, 121st Engi- neers, were orderéd transferred to the Reserve. 1t.was pointed out on behalf of the Guard officlals that this system, while it does permit complying with the lettér of the regulations, does permit the Guard to kéep a contact with the men who are interested in it, but, who, for various reasons, cannot give the full time required. It was added, too, that before A man can Be gent to the Reserve, that he must have completed at least one enlistment in the Natfonal Guard, Army, Navy, or Naval Reserve. In time of national emérgency these men would be valuable material, it was claimed, despite the fact that their training is not continuous. The brigade headquarters has issued orders on recommendation of Capt. Arthur C. Newman, commanding Com- pany A, 372d Infantry, dropping thé following named enlisted men as de- serters from the National Guard, as of the dates following theéir names, they having failed to report to the organization sincé that time, and effort to locate them having failed: Pvt.

SEPTEMBER 12, 1926—PART 3. good standing with the Federal de- partments in the matter of getting military leave for the members of the Guard to perform duties required, headquarters has called to the atten- tion of the command the lack of co- operation in some instances. “It has been brought to the atten- tion of this office by one of the gov- ernment departments,” says the mem- oranda, “that members of the National Guard do not coopérate to the fullest extent in secuting military leave. In the particular case in question, the employe merely failed to report for work with no prior request for leave, and upon his return presented the certificate entitling him to military leave, the certificate not being accom- panied by an order or memorandum which would authorize its issuance. “H er all mémbers of the Na- tional Guard of the District of Colum- bia will apply for military leave prior 10 takingesame, and will present to the Government officlal concerned. with the service card, a copy of the order of this headquarters authoriz- ing military leave in question.” Ofcials of the Guard indicated fhat they would scrutinize the {ssuance of military leave cards, which permit the employe to have leave without redue- ing his efficiency rating. These cards are only supposed to be givén by the unit commanders, upon the issuancé of a tormal order directing the per- formance of certain and specified mili tary duty. They realize that they must have the fullest co-operation of every- body in order to carry out the law And they are disposed to prevent any deviation from the law's requirements in this respect. It was pointed out that an employe leaving his work without formal notice. leaves the civil ofice unprepared, and leaves a bad taste for the National Guard. 1In ad dition to making it bad for the sol dier in the specific instance. it leaves a blot againdt the wholé Guard, mak- ing it difficult for others to legitimate- get credit for their duty or to get y when called.
