Many inquiries are coming to the

ly to the organization Of . reserve Of.

for the maintenance Of this corps. and
the arms. uniforms. equipment and
means Of transportation provided By

The fiscal year Of the United

and II is presumed that the benefits
Of this act will accrue for the current

approved by the President on June ..
1916. Many cadets enrolled In Tie

iese authorities are exerting every ef;
fort to secure permission to reorsan-
ize this corps At the college during the
current year and 70 secure the other
benefits authorized By the Law.
The delay on the part Of the War
