Major Halstead Dorey, of General Woods staff, visited the University on Monday to make the inspection required by the war de- partments regulation, before final action can be taken on the new organ ization. In the meantime, Colonel Danford and Captain. Moretti are working on the details of the dis charge and reorganization. The war department, in bulletin No. 40, dated, Washington, October 7th, has adopted rules which will operate to great cred it toward Reserve Officers Commis- sion, to all men who were in the Batteries during the past year.

It is expected that one or two moro officers from the regular army will be dtailed to assist with the instruction of the new unit, but this depends on the number of Enen who enroll for it. When all uncertain points huve been decided and when all details of the reorganization have been perfected, the Batteries and all men interested, will be assembled and the new organization. the course of instruction, its credits, and it's re- quirements explained to the min de- tail. This will occur before Decem- Der 1St.
