Civilian Army News Despite the fact that rain fell dur- Ing 10 of the 15 days while the 343 Engineers, Col. John Stewart, com- manding, were in camp at Fort Hrmphreys, Va., a gr deal of good resjited from thi# intensive training perivd. This Engineer regiment, Which just returned from its active duty training, is a general service re- serve regiment and is the only Reserve Engineer regiment in Washington and vicinity. By special arrangement with 3d Corps Area headquarters, the unit was quartered in tents, which were ar- ranged in a well placed site, detached from the general body of troops, but not far from post headquarters. The general plans of this Summer's train- ing camp instruction was basic In. fantry work and contact with troops, in which the schedule was most ex- acting, This was followed with a few minor exceptions, the principal one being the omission of range firing with the rifle, due,to the fact that the rifle range butts were unserviceable, caused by the wet weather and lackeof main- tenance. - One of the outstanding features of the regiment’s work was the fact that all administrative work was carrl by its own personnel instead of by the Regular Army. This included all mat- ters of pay, equipment, reports, effi- eiency ratings, physical examinations, ete. In this connection it is also in- teresting to note that most of the conferences were handled by officers of the regiment. The Headquarters and Service Company was handicap- ped in the work of supply administra- tion by the small number of enlisted reservists it was able to take to camp, and the regimental headquarters was deprived of its sergeant major, due to the fact that enlisted reservists have not, as yet, been granted military leave from Government employ, as are Re- serve officers. This is tne result, it was pointed out this week by one of the officers attending the camp, of the unamended law governing the Organ- ized Reserves, and ax a result does not permit an enlisted reservist to attend camp even on his annual ieave time, according 1o a decision of the Con- troller General. Xteps will, no doubt, be taken at the approaching session of Congress 10 remedy this situation, as the projected training program for 1927 will require a considerable num- | ber of the regiment’s non-commission- ed staff and specialists for its effec- tive operation. There was one thing which the camp instruction period brought out and in which all of the officers were in agreement, and that was that consistent study and attend- ance at the Winter instructional as- semblies Iz necessary for all officers, in order that they may derive the full- est benefit of the active duty period, the duration of which is so short, Though the inclement weather ham- pered to a great extent the prepared &chedule of instruction of which the regiment was to undergo, Col. Stew- art was greatly pleased with the work which was accomplished. Last Wednes- day he left Washington for South Amer where he is supervising an engineering project, and it is not ex- pected that the members of his regi- ment will see him again for several months. In addition to Col. Stewart, the following officers of the regiment underwent the instruction at Fort Humphreys: Lieut. Cols. Harrison Rrand, jr.: John S. Doyle., Walter D. oung. * Majs. Klroy S. J.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Potter, mu- sicians of the Baptist Temple, with their two children, have just returned to Charleston after a visit to Wash- ington, Philadelphia and New York. Mrs. Potter, well known here as Ruby Potter, soprano, enjoyed recreation and visits with relatives and friends. Mr. Pot gave a recital on the great Sesquicentennial exhibition organ at Philadelphia. August 9 before an un- usually large audience. While in Philadelphia an invitation was ex- tended to Mr. and Mrs. Potter to spend the week of August 30 as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Rollo Mait- land to attend the annual convention of the National Assoclation of Or- ganists to be held there. The convention proved interesting and enjoyable. Outstanding events included recitals by prominent or- ganists from different parts of the country. A visit was made to the Theodore Presser Foundation and Home for Retired Musicians, where luncheon was served on the lawn. Another enjoyable event was the.trip to Longwood, home of Pierre Dupont, where a recital was given_on the large Aeolian organ by Mr. Dupont’s private organist, Firmin S8winnen. Mr. Wanamaker was host at a grand banquet in the crystal tearoom of his store in Philadelphia, followed by a concert in the grand court, where premiere performances were given of works for organ with orchestra by Sowerby, Borowski and De Lamarter, the first two composers named con- ducting their own compositions. A section of the Philadelphla Symphony Orchestra played these numbers with the great Wanamaker organ, played by Charles Courboin and Rollo Mait- land. The works given were ultra- modern, particularly the “Medieval Poem,” by Sowerby. The “Rhapsody.” by Borowski, was typical of his gra- cious style, although more modern than usual in melody and harmonic treatment. The “Weaver of Tales,” by De Lamarter, lay between the other two &s to modernity. One day was spent by the assocla- tion in Atlantic City as guests of Senator Richards, who gave the organ in thg high school there and who continues to do much for organists in that vicinity. The events of that day included the privileges of the Richards bathing house, luncheon at the Elks' Club and two recitals, one by Arthur Scott Brooks, official or- ganist at Atlantic City, who played two compositions of his own, and the other by Rollo Maitland.
