After the war the , ruined strip from Lille down past Ver- % @un could pay little and needed much. ' £ Rebuilding is almost complete. There sz been spent about $3,300,000,000 and : Ebpm a tenth of that much remains to d. The work, in 1922, was esti- by the government as likely to * take 40 years.

The immediate effect of the modification divided Army Reserve officers into three groups: active group, comprising who are working to maintain and develop a rea- sonable -military efficiency in peace time; (b) the inactive group, consist- | ing of those of certain military attain- ments who do not take training in times of peace, but who are believed to retain | a certain measure of military useful- ness; and (c) the special privilege group, consisting of those who do no military training in peace time, but who retain all the privileges of the active group. Considered from an academic point of view, it sounds reasonable to claim that if- an officer’s civil occupation qualifies him for the military duties he would assume in an emergency it would be follly to spend money on his special training or to require him to take training subjects . with ‘which. he is already conversant. But is it asafe or even a reasonable assumption that any civil occupation really trains or quali- fles & man to be a soldier or a leader of soldiers? In advocacy of this policy it is claimed that an neer officer or & medical officer would be getting all the training needed for his war-time mission in his ordinary eivil occupation.

The belief is held, however, that it s possible to obtain a suitable number | of civilians to take such military srain- | ing in peace time as will constitite a reliable and effective ‘Reserve Corps. ‘With the passing of time, the indica- tions are that the Reserve Corps will be composed of not so many officers as has obtained in the past, but a group of well trained Reservists who attend camps regularly and take their military status seriously. Reserve officers from the District de- siring to attend the 1931 course at the | command and General Staff School, | Fort Leavenworth, Kans, should make | written application through proper | military _channels before October 1, next. This course of instruction is three months in duration and will begin about March 15, 1931. The candi- dates will be selected by the War De- partment.
