 Progress has been recorded in the organization of units allotted to the National Guard, eighteen National Guard divisions having attained an average of 65 per cent complete. In this respect New York leads with 96 per cent and Pennsylvania is second with 94 per cent.
 Organization of reserve units has proceeded with a success regarded as commensurate with the funds avail able for the purpose. A report by corps area commanders issued last No vember showed that 2,900 reserve of ficers had already been assigned to units and about 5O,00O others were available for assignment.
 Approximately 6O,0O0 college men were enrolled in the senior units, re- serve officers training corps, for the college year 1921-22, this being an in- crease of $500 over the preceding year. "'s"--- Dr.- ut "'l r' I'r .'~'

LOT FOUND FOR HOLDING 1924
 0LYMPICS

PARIS, March 15.-Despite French bureaucracy and red-tape ground has at last been found for the 1924 Olympic games to be. staged in France
 The ground chosen, the Pare dcs Princes, is situated at the very gates of Paris in Boulogne. It is within easy reach of any part of the city by subway, street cars and autobuses.
 It is on this ground that all interna- tional encounters-whether football, foot racing, in which France partici pates-are played.
 Work to transform the park into a huge stadium capable of holding 100- 900 spectators is to be pushed active ly ahead and even swimming races will be held there, water being drawn from the River Seine, close at hand The ground is not marshy and several tracks are even now in good condition. The stands, however leave much to be desired.
 There is at present bill before parliament requesting credit of twenty million francs to get the ground ready. Of this sum the city of Paris will subscribe half. Most of the stands and enclosures will be built of cement and accommodations for the competitors are to be built specially, either in the stadium or close at hand.

ODDS AND ENDS OF WAR MAKE
 MUCH WORK

WASHINGTON, March 15. - The work of reinterring the overseas dead by the War Department has not yet been entirely completed. Bodies re- turned to the United States numbered 44,194, and it is expected that this work will be completed within the next few months.
 Reduction of civilian personnel throughout the War Department has constituted an item of economy in the administration of Secretary Weeks, his friends declare. At the New York depot in the past year the number of civilians employed has been reduced from 7,3SS to less than 200o, and sim ilaf reductions have been effected throughout the organization.
 '" The department was confronted by many perplexing problems in the reduction of the army to 150,000 men. Though this reduction represents an ulLlIudIe SdFluS, IL OCCdSlOlSu COllSlu- erable immediate expenditure by req son of travel allowances incident to the consolidation of organizations and movement of large bodies of troops.
 Educational and recreational train ing for soldiers has been continued throughout the army during the past year, but considerable saving has been effected by drawing instructor personnel from the military and dis pensing with large number of civ ilian instructors. Only forty-one of the latter remain.
 A careful study has been made by al%ny experts of the lessons of the World war, particularly with refer- ence to the effect of aviation, gas and tanks, and much progress has been made in rewriting and revising ser vice and training regulation to con-
