URGE OFFICERS TO STICK
War Department Asks Reserve Officers
to Remain in Service.

The war department is apparently
worried about the large number of
officers holding commissions as re-

A statement has been issued from
the office of the adjutant general at

already hold commissions to not re-
sign them hastily.
1t is pointed out in the communica-
ton that the necessity for economy in
expenditures has made it impossible
to call out for active training in the
near future, the reserve officers, and
that consequently, it is safe to assume
that no officer will be called upon to
leave his business affairs and go out
for active trafning. without his own
consent, before June so, 1922.
Available funds and other consid-
erations will probably make it impos-
sibie even to call all those officers
who request active duty for short
periods of training" says the state
ment.
