The Department of Maryland led in percentage of .membership increase, having enrolled twice as many as in any preceding y All but nine ds pastments had surpassed their 1925 membership and 32 reported larger memberships than in any other vear. The Western Division, with 30 per cent more members than last year, led the divisions in increase, but slosely pressed by the Southern Divi- on, which reported 29 per cent in- crease. ‘The Central Division was third with 13 per cent increast the Eastern Division fourth with 11 per cent and the Northwestern Division trailed with 6 per cent. Towa still led with the largest total membership of any department. Penn- sylvania was second, about 2,000 members behind; and’ Illinois, Minne- sota and New York followed in the order named.

Each department has been asked to submit the activities reports of its two most active units to the national committee which will make the selec- tion for the award from among these units. The cup must be won three consecutive years to become the per manent property of a unit. The § and 40 placed a wreath upon the grave of Pa Claggett, U. Jacob Jones Post No. 2, September 9.

Mawson, the voungest Civil War veteran living in the Dis- trict, was presented with a silver fountain .pen as a token of esteem from the post on the occasion of hfs eightieth birthday. He served under Gen. Nelson A. Miles in the Indian campaign of the early 70s and under Gen. George A. Custer during the fa- mous Black Hills expedition of 1874. James H. Rees, who served in the 312th Machine Gun Battalion during the late World War, and Frank M.

Phillips, the D. A. V. com- mander in this city. week In the campaign headquarters in the Munsey Bullding, plans have now so far progressed that it was reported that the real problem now facing the drive was the enlistment of a sufficient number of girls and women to sell the flow- ers in all the public places where permission has been granted. A spe- cial meeting of the American War Mothers was held during the week at the home of Mrs. Winfleld Wag- ner, when it was decided to throw the whole strength of that organiza- tion in assisting the drive. * Mrs. Noble Newport Potts, presi- dent of the Federation of District Patriotic Socleties, joined the work- ers last week, at the particular invi- tation of Comdr. Phillips, who was acting upon the instructions of the campalgn committee. ~Mrs. Potts, who directed the arrangements for the recent Lafayette day celebration, has started out to obtain the fullest co-operation of all members of the federation of which she is head, and it is hoped that from this source there will come a number of women and girls who will sell the flowers at designated places on October 2. ‘Comdr: Phillips has again called at- tentlon to the fact that it will depend largely upon the success of the For- get-Me-Not_drive as to whether the D. A. V. here will be able to con- tinue the liaison service in the Vet- erans’ Bureau, which acts in the ca- pacity, without charge, of attorney for the disabled men of Washington, their mothers, wives, widows and children. Lh’l‘here are nearly 1,500 disabled for- mer service men in the four Govern- ment hospitals in Washington, and in order to help these the disabled men themselves have the liaison of- ficer under their direction, depending upon the liberality of the response to the appeal to meet the expenses of the service.

Tl:e cost of the internal mainte- nance of the organization here is met entirely by the dues of the members, Army. Considerable mystery surrounds the order issued by the adjutant general of the Army, Maj. Gen. Robert C. Davis, last week, in which recruiting officers were ‘%n- structed not to enlist any Porto Ricans. This or- der will particu larly hamper the recruiting activi- ties of the New York district, as the enlistments in that district have been about 25 per cent Porto Rican. Although no official state- ment in explana- tion of this order has been forth- coming from the War Department, it is believed that the lack of sufficient funds to carry on the operations of the two Porto Rican regiments is responsible for the {ssuance of the order. Available funds, it is said, will not permit keep- ing both regiments on the required training basis, and as the War De- partment does not desire to place one of the regiments in an inactive status, it was indicated this week that a bat- talion in each of the regiments will be eliminated by means of the expiration of the enlistment contracts now in force. Thus, by not accepting any more ‘Porto Rican enlistments wiil make it possible for the two bat- talions, which will be selected to be disbanded, to become inactive at an earlier date. Upon the reduction of the two battalions, it is thought that the Porto Rican enlistment ban will be lifted. MAJ. GEN. DAVIS. Though the inclusion of the names of warrant officers of the Regular Army in the Army List and Directory, issued quarterly, and the Army Regis. ter, published annually, has been un- der consideration by the War Depart- ment for some time, lack of sufficient funds have up to the present time prevented this being done.

Col. H. Harrison Smith, present com- mander of the 316th Infantry, who is| president of the Seventy-ninth Division Association, expects about 5,000 men will be in Philadelphia to renew war- time frlendships and to-take part in an extensive entertainment program. He requested Gov. Pinchot of Penn- | sylvania, Gov. A. Harry Moore of New Jersey, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of | Maryland and Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York to assist in locating mem- | bers of the division who have lost | contact with the association by reason of changes of address and removals to other citles and to urge them to communicate immediately with the| Seventy-ninth Division Association, 135 South Broad street, Philadelphia, for the purpose of having their names per- manently enrolled on the records of the assoclation. Mayor W. Freeland Kendrick {s also assisting in locating men who have become detached from the assoclation. George F. Brown will be in charge of registration headquarters, to be lo- cated in the Elks' Club, Philadelphia; | also at railroad stations. Theodore Rosen is in charge of arranging for separate reunions of the various regi- | ments and other units of the division, most of which will take the form of | diriners at varlous hotels next Friday evening. Saturday will be “78th| Division day” at the Sesquicenten- nial. Elaborate military exercises will be conducted at Camp Anthony | Wayne, in_which demonstrations will be given by infantrymen, Chemical | Warfare Service, Air Service, Cavalry and Artillery. On Saturday evening the principal event will be a dinner in the Alpine | Haus, at which Maj. Gen. Joseph E. Kuhn, the only commander who re- mained with his original _division throughout the war, will be the prin- cipal speaker. United States Senator David Reed of Pittsburgh, member of the division, also s expected to speak. A memorial service will be given Sunday afternoon at Valley Forge. ——— Wanted to Be Posted.

Shortly after the publication of the first directory requests for coples were recelved from and sent to practically all Army activities. The warrant officers them- selves bore the expense of getting out the directories, but, as pointed out last week, the increased cost to the War Department in including the warrant officers in the directory and register, which would be slight, would be more than compensated by ‘the increased value to the service of the two publi- cations. In the Navy and Marine Corps the warrant officers are carried in the same lists and directories as are those of the commissioned per- sonnel, and the hope was expressed this week in the War Department that the adjutant general of the Army may find a way to overcome this diffi- culty in the not too distant future. avy. There will be convened at the Navy Department the latter part of this month a board of officers who will meet for the purpose of recommend- ing an officer of the Navy Medical Corps for promotion to the rank of rear admiral in that corps, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Rear Admiral George H. Barber. The board will be composed of the follow- ing officers: Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, Edward R. Stitt and’ Albert M. D. McCormick and Lieut. Comdr. G. Haven Mankin, recorder. Approval has been given by the President of the report of the board of officers on selection which con- SEPTEMBER 19, 1926—PART 3. vened on August 23 for the purpose of recommending officers of the Civil Engineer Corps of the Navy for pro- motion to the rank of commander. The officers recommended for promo- tion were Lieut. Comdrs. Henry G. Taylor and Gaylord Church. The former will be commissioned in the higher rank from June 4, 1925, while the commission of Lieut. Comdr. Church will have the same date as his line running mate upon the pro- motion of that officer to commander. Fourteen officers of the Marine Corps, 3 first lleutenants and 11 second leutenants, have been pro- moted to the next higher grades, respectively, as follows, as of the dates indicated of the year 1926: First Lieuts. George T. Hall, June 16; Oilfver T. Francis, July 5, and Edward A. Cralg, August 27. Second Lieuts. Augustus W. Cockrell, October 1. 1926: Joseph D. Humphrey, February 24; Willlam O. Brice, June 6; Francis M. Wulbern, July 11; Edwin A. Pol- lock, June 16; Randolph McC. Pate, June 22; Cornelius J. Eldridge, June 27; Lucian C. Whitaker, July 5;John R. Steet, July 11; Franklin C. Hall, July 15, and Beverley S. Roberts, August 27. It was pointed out at Marine Corps headquarters last week that some of these promotions are in accordance with the recently enacted law in which it is predcribed that promo- tions to the higher grades are au- thorized when the promotion of offi- cers at the top of the lists thereof are delayed for various reasons. Even with- these promotions, it was brought out, there is a deficiency of three in the grade of major. In the grade of captain there is an excess of the same number, but this will be absorbed upon promotion of the num- ber now due for advancement to the grade of major. Comdr. Ezra G. Allen, who upon being relieved from duty in the Bu- reau of Navigation had been ordered to conynand the Hatfield, will go in- stead to the Pittsburgh as executive officer, where he will relieve Comdr. Arthur S. Carpender, who will go on temporary duty to the receiving ship at New York. Two commanders, Sydney M. Kraus and Eugene E. Wil- son, both of whom have been on du in the Bureau of Aeronautics, have been assigned to aviation duty, the former at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, while Comdr. Wilson will proceed to the naval air station at Pensacola, Fla., for duty. Orders A have been issuad to Lieut. Comdr. Henry B. Cecil, detaching him from duty in the Bureau of Aeronautics and assigning him to duty as aide on the staff of the commander of the battle fleet. Lieut. Comdr. Ralph G. Pennoyer will be detached from duty on the Utah and will proceed to this city, where he will be assigned to duty in the Bureau of Aeronautics. Four Navy officers became due for promotion on September 6 as the re- sult of the retirement of Capt. Paul Foley on September 5, who retired after the completion of 30 years' service upon his own application. The officérs becoming due for promo- tion on September 6 are Comdr. L. P. Treadwell, Lieut. Comdr. . 8. Wilkinson, Lieut. G. F. Bogan and Lieut. (Junior grade) W. A. Gorry. Lieut. Comdr. Rolland R. Gasser of the Navy Medical Corps will be trans- ferred from the sanitary service of Haiti to the Naval Medical School, Washington, D. C., and Lieut. James R. Root, also a Navy medical officer, will be transferred from the New York Naval Hospital and assigned to undergo the course of instruction at James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute in Baltimore. -Orders have been issued to Lieut. L. W. Curtin, detaching him from duty in the Bu- reau of Aeronautics and assigning him as chief flight officer of the PN-10 planes, which are now under course of construction at the naval afrcraft factory. The procurement plan of new plan for the Navy for the next fiscal year, which was announced last week by the Bureau of Aeronautics, contem- plates the purchase of about 283 planes. These planes will be pur- chased from money appropriated, but are not a part of the five-year pro- gram which was authorized by the Congress just before its adjournment at the last session. It was made known at the department that the exact num- ber of planes to be purchased had not been definitely established, this feature of the procurement program being sub- ject to modification in accordance with the actual requirements of the naval | air force. The plan as outlined above includes five classes of planes, as fol- lows: One hundred VF (fighting planes), 47 VO (observation planes), 61 VT (bombing, torpedo and scouting planes), 74 VN (training planes) and 1 VP (patrol plane). Twenty-seven of the 100 fighting planes will be used on battleships. The fighting type of ships, it was sald, will be obtained as a result of a comprehensive flight test competition in which the manufactur- ers of planes will compete. As out- lined in the procurement law as passed in the last session of Congress, the bu- reau proposes to procure the training planes by way of a design competition among the manufacturers. Marine Corps headquarters announo ed last week the promotion of 14 ofk ficers of that corps to the grades ine dicated. They are: Capts. G. T. Hall O. T. Francis and E. A. Cralg. Firs Lieuts. A. W.
