Army. ! ‘Teams from the Corps of Engineers, | Cavalry and Infantry will represent the Regular Army in the national matches that will be shot at Camp Perry, Ohio, the first part of September. Some consideration was given to the organiza- | tion of & team of cadets at West Poin but it finally was decided not to_enter such a team. Capt. Walter A. Wood, Jr., 29th Engineers, stationed at Fort Humphreys, Va., will be captain of the Engineer team. A number of officers and enlisted men of the 1st, 2d, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 13th and 29th En- gineers will participate in the tryouts for the team. | The Cavairy team will have as its captain Maj. Roderick R. Allen, on duty in the office of the Chief of Cav- alry, this city. and he arrived last week at Fort Riley, Kans, where the team squad will be organized and trained, and where tryouts will begin about May 14. A number of officers and about 40 enlisted men from Cavalry regiments in the United States will | compete in the tryouts. Among the officer candidates for the team are: | Majs. John A. Considine and Victor B. W. Wales; Capts. Wade C. Catchell, 1st Cavalry; Carl B. Byrd, 1ith Cav alry; Clarence W. Richmond, 12th Cav- alry, and First Lieuts. Otfo R. Stil- linger, Claude A. Thorpe and William | 8. Conrow, 5th Cavalry, and Sidney C. Page, 14th Cavalry. Maj. Bradford G- Chynoweth will be captain of the Infantry team and Capt. Joseph Tupper will be coach. The team squad is now undergoing preliminary training at Fort Benning, Ga.. and the final training and tryouts will be held | at Camp Perry, Ohio, on June 15.| Among the officers in the squad are: Capts. K. L. Bery, Merle Broderick, J. H. Kneubel, W. G. Hilliard, O. P. | Mulkey, Paul Steele, J. P. Lyons, Eari Paynter, W. B. Wilson, R. O. Barrett and George B. Morris; First Lieuts. | Kamell Maertens, J. G. Harris, H. H. | Harris and D. L. Adams, and Second | Lieuts. S. E. Hall, F. R. Lloyd and | J. H. Gilbrett. The Navy rifle team will have as its captain Lieut. Van Fitch Rathbun, with | Ensign Seth A. Shepard as coach and | Lieut. Frank Humbeutel as supply offi- cer. ‘The candidates for the team will assemble at Annapolis, Md., for tryouts and preliminary training on June 6. The team squad will go to Wakefield, Mass., about July 1 for training, and to Camp Perry on August 25. Among the | officers who will participate in the try- outs are Lieuts, Alwin D. Kramer and Henry D. Wolleson:; Ensigns Clarence E. Coffin, jr.; David L. McDonald, John Quinn, Weiford C. Blinn, George E. King, Charles C. Pyne and Matthew Radom, and Midshipmen Joseph A. d'Avi, Alexander H. Hood, Almon E. Loomis, Corben C. Shute and Kemp Tol ley of the first class. The superinten ent of the Naval Academy has recom- mended that a team of midshipmen be entered in the national and other matches at Camp Perry, and these Tecommendations are now awaiting final Navy Department approval. In the event authority is granted for the participation of a team from the Naval Academy in the national matches it will be trained at Annapolis, and in all probability Lieut. James P. Clay will be its captain. Maj. Julian P. Smith will be captain of the Marine Corps team, with Capt. William W. Ashurst as coach. Medal winners in certain of the divisional and other competitions being shot this Spring will be sent to Marine Barracks, Quantico, Va., for tryouts, which will begin June 15, following the shooting of the Elliott Trophy match at thal place, and the team squad will then go to Wakefleld, Mass., about June 18 to complete its trainini At the prevailing attrition rate for officers of the Medical Corps the total number of separations for all causes for the 1929 fiscal year, which will terminate on June 30, 1929, will be more than threescore. As of April 30, 1929, there were a total of 57 vacan- cies among the commissioned personnel of this corps, and with about two months’ time to elapse before the end of this fiscal year the number of sepa- rations for this period will be well over 60. During the month of April seven officers of the Medical have sev- ered their connection with the military establishment. Four of these separa- tions, all majors, for April were caused by their transfer to the retired list for physical disability incident to the serv- Re. They are Paul S. Wagner and Frederick T. Rice, on Az‘l’ll 6; George Newlove, April 8, and John F. McGill, April 15. The fifth separation was caused by the death of Col. Frank C. '.B‘::er’,epfiprtl‘ 12, while bthe remaining rations were by resignation, these belng Maj. Robert B, Parrish and Lieut. Claude G. Drace. For the 1928 fiscal year the total number of Medical Corps separations was 51, which will be greatly exceeded this year. | By Fall there will be & number of changes among the commisisoned pe: sonnel in the office of the Surgeon Gen- eral of the Army. Maj. A. D. Tuttle, who will be promoted to lieutenant colonel shortly, left Washington last Thursday for his new station, at the Army Base in Brooklyn, N. Y., where he will serve as port surgeon, depot surgeon and surgeon of the overseas dis- charge and replacement depot. This Battle Fleet, will come to duty as a member of the general hoard on May 30. Rear Admiral Ridley McLean, now in command of the submarine divisions of the Battle Fleet, Admiral McVay on July 29 as budget officer of the Navy Department. Admiral George C. Day, now in com- mand of light cruiser d Scouting _ Fleet, will s Admiral Brumby on Aug res dent of ,the board of inspection and survey. Rear Admiral David F.

Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, jr.. will report May 5 to the Navy Department as presi- dent of the Naval examining board. Thirty officers of the Navy have been ordered to undergo the Navy line offi- cers' course at the Chemical Warfare School, Edgewood Arsenal, Md., which which will be completed May 31.

De La Barre and William H. Jacobsen. MARINE CORFS NOTES Maj. Gen. Wendell C. Neville, who has been undergoing medical treatment at the Naval Hospital, this cify, for the past few weeks, has returned to his office at corps headquarters. He suf- fered a fractured rib April 17. Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune left Wash- ington on the 1st instant for San Fran- cisco, Calif., where upon arrival he will make a tour of inspection of all posts in the Department of the Pacific (Ma- rine Corps), returning to Washington not later than July 1, when he is sched- uled to go on leave, following which he lwul have been placed upon the retired ist. In this connection speculation has been rife as to what staff officer will have been promoted to a major gen- eralcy, providing that the present bill before Congress will have been enacted into law. The paymaster of the corps, Brig. Gen. George Richards, by reason of seniority in addition to a brilliant war record covering the activities of the corps during the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection and the Boxer Woubles of 1900, respectively, will, it is believed, be the logical designee. Col. Dickinson P. Hall, according to the most reliable of reports, will be the officer who will be detailed to corps headquarters as the relief of the execu- tive officer at corps headquarters, the incumbent being Lieut. Col. Creecy, whose tour of duty on the staffl at corps headquarters will have shortly expired. - Capt. Pield Harris, heretofore at- tached to Naval Air Station, San Diego, Calif., has been stopping temporarilv in this city on leave status at 1882 Co- iumbia road. Capt. H. M. H. Fleming, attached to Marine Barracks, Norfolk, Va. is also on leave status in this city, residing at 5038 Reno road. Col. Rush R. Wallace, who is under orders to assume command of the Ma- rine Barracks, Eighth and I streets southeast, has been granted 60 days’ leave and is not due to report till July 1. All information relative to the Com- missioned Officers’ Army, Navy and Ma- rine Corps Country Club is now being handled by Lieut. Comdr. George E. Simmons, Room 1134 Navy Building. Eight hundred Marines will have been withdrawn from Nicaragua within the next 60 days, according to official announcement at corps headquarters. These, it is stated, will have been dis- tributed along the Atlantic seaboard to the various posts of the corps, though Quantico, Va., will have been made ready to receive the majority of these veterans of the tropical jungle scrim- mages. ‘The National Capital Detachment of the Marine Corps League, with head- quarters hall in Woodmen's Temple, Grant place, is planning a get-together excursion for the early part of the Summer. Capt. Edward A. Craig, heretofore on duty at corps headquarters, this city, as alde to Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, was detached during the past week and as- signed to duty with the Guardia Ni cional de Nicaragua, where upon ar- rival some time in June it is expected that he will be given increased rank under the Nicaraguan government by the President thereof.

Garfleld L. McKinney, now | on the War Department General Staff | in G-1, and Capt. E. D. Sykes, M. A. C,, now en route to Washington from the Philippines. Lieut. Col. Joseph F. Siler, chief of the professional service division, goes to the Panama Canal Department as health officer, as the relief of Col. | Weston P. Chamberlin, who will succeed | Col. Siler in the professional service di- | vislon. Lieut. Col. M. A. Reasoner and | Capt. William E. Devers, now on duty as students at the Army Industrial Col- lege, will be assigned to duty in the supply division, while Maj. Edgar C. Jones, now on duty in the supply di- vision, will go to the Army War Col- | lege as a student. Navy. Admiral Henry A. Wiley, commander of the United States Fleet, will be re- | lieved of these duties by Admiral Wil- liam V. Pratt, now in command of the Battle Fleet, on May 21. It was under- stood that Admiral Wiley was to be assigned to duty with the general board, but instead he has been ordered home | to await orders. Considerable mystery surrounds this change in events, but | it has been rumored that he intends | 1o request transfer to the retired list of | the Navy. Other flag officers who will | assume sea commands are: Vice Admiral | Louis McC. Nulton, Battle Fleet, with | rank of admiral, and Rear Admirals Lucius A. Bostwick, battleship division, | Battle Fleet; Frank H. Schofield, battle- ship division 4, Battle Fleet: Henry V. Butler, aircraft squadrons, Battle Fleet; * Harley H.

Marine Corps veterans of the World ‘War are being advised that they are en- titled, as per act of Congress of May, 1928, to war risk insurance under the Veterans’ Bureau, either an increase of what they may now be carrying or re- |- instatement of their policy, up to and not to exceed $10,000, on either one or more policies, but in no case will there be permitted any one commissioned of- ficer or enlisted man to carry either one or more forms of insurance policies, re- spectively, the combined grand total or totals exceeding $10,000. Many officers and enlisted men have been heretofore unaware that they couid apply for in- surance up to $10,000. Applicants will have to submit to medical examination at the Veterans' Bureau should they make their application at the Veterans' Bureau, Room 148, there being no charge. Maj. M. R. Thacher, who was here- tofore ordered to duty at Marine Bar- racks, Eighth and I streets southeast, Ebas had his orders revoked and will in all probability be shortly assigned to further foreign service duty, he having but Tecently returned from the Far ast. The Receptionist's Job. A new job for women has recently developed in the “Receptionist.” who is an attache to the successful photo- She must have per- sonal qualifications and she has almost as much to do with the success of the photograph as the man behind the camera, The receptionist does much more than greet the newcomer and mention weather conditions. A recep- tionist tactfully takes you in hand and becomes for the ‘time being the most valvable person in the world to you, chatting at length and with genuine in- terest about that vastly important per- son. yourself. She is the keystone of the arch. She has to have the knack of drawing out the best expression, of putting the client at ease comfortably and imper- ceptibly, of directing the choice of the sort of picture best suited to the sub- ject, and, in a word, of putting the transaction across. Nearly half of the people who ar- rived in the Philippines last year were Chinese. | | Council ! 0. U. A.
