WOULD PREVENT TRAINING
OF $4,000 RESERVE OFFICER:

Washington, March 16.-Acting Sec
retary of War Wainwright said today
that the proposal of the house appro-
priatIons committee to cut the $4,000
600 item in the army appropriation bill
submitted for pay Of reserve officers to
s250,00o would prevent the carrying out
Of plans for the training of some 49,
900 reserve officers during the year.
The 100000 item, Mr.. Wainwright
said. was submitted to cover pay of the
officers when called to active service for
their annual fifteen day training period,
With the sum the committee proposed to
allow, he added, it would not be posi-
BILE to give this training except to such
officers of the reserve corps as were
willing to attend without pay and at
their own expense.
Mr. Wainwright said the matter was
serious from the point OF view Of the
war department since It tended to dis
courage men with adequate war expert
ence or other military training from en-
tering the reserve corps. Upon the sue
cessfu completion of that corps. he add
ed, depended the whole national defense

made public.
Two previous attempts By the state
board Of mediation and Cancellation to

less hesitation in discussing terms Of
settlement.
