THE CIVILIAN ARMY
BY LIEUT.. STEPHEN F. T1LLMAN.
Organized Reserves-National Guard

federally recognized in the District
of Columbia National Guard. is re-
lieved from assignment to the 313th
Field Artillery medical personnel.
Reports received from Army med
, ical officers who made the physical
examinations of those attending the
National Guard, Organized Reserve,
c. NJ. T. C. and r. o. T. c. camps dur
ing the past summer indicate that
observation was made of the matter
of clothing and shoes issued to those
In attendance. t' G'-
This was in addition to the general
record made of individual physical
socks to the C. M. T. c. this year has
prevented many cases of foot injury.
1t has been said that the number Of
injuries from the issue shoe has been
appreciably less this year than last.
The shoes issued to students in the
training camps were fitted with the
shoe-fitting machine. and the fitting
Is described as exceptionally well
done. .-
1t is insisted that there can be no
complaint about fitting the shoes or
the care of the feet of the students.
While the present issue shoe is not
regarded as desirable from the stand
point OF appearance, comfort and pro-
lection to the feet as was the old
garrison shoe, nevertheless it affords
IA reasonable amount of those quail
ties and, in addition, is sufficiently
serviceable to be economical. 1t is
realized that a. lighter and more
comfortable shoe would be too ex-
pensive to be practical, and the pres
ent shoe is declared a decided inn
provement over the old field shoe.
Remarkably few complaints about
the present shoe. particularly if the
wearer has become accustomed to it,
have been reported.
The following decision has been
made by the controller general: A
soldier was recommended for a COM
mission. and on October 26. 1918. it
was granted. On October 5, 1918. he
was wounded and sent to base hos
pital No. 81, at Beaune, France. Ow-
delayed in reaching him. and he did
not accept 1t until December 2. 1918.
Therefore he claimed pay from Octo-
ber 26 instead of from December g
1918.
In denying the claim the control
ler said: "It is well settled that an
officer is not entitled to the pay of
the grade in which he is commits
stoned until he accepts the commits
sion. Relative to the right to pay of
officers commissioner in the Army
more than mere appointment is nee
essary to vest title to the office in the
appointee; there must be an accept
ance of the appointment and a COM
pliance with all of the conditions
precedent made a part Of the tender
Of appointment"
Army reserve officers are entitled
to rental allowance during the period
they are on active duty at camp of
instruction for citizens, Under a deci-
sion of the controller general.
First Lieut.. B. j. Cragun, infantry
reserves, claimed rental allowance
for the period of July 27 to August
25. 1922. while on active duty at the
camp of instruction for citizens at

the intent of section SO. All of the
militia laws have constituted every
able-bodied male citizen between the
ages of eighteen and forty-flve. with
certain specific exemptions mentioned
in the statutes, a member thereof. The
later acts have provided for a uni
formed, enlisted or organized, active
militia. and that portion of the mill
tia Is styled in the act of June 8, 1916,
section So, the National Guard.
In the act of June g. 1916. liberal
provision is made for that portion
of the militia denominated the Ma
tional Guard, and it is contended that
under section SO of the act these
heretofore. separate and apart from
the militia. retaining their old or
ganization, and in addition, under the
two provisos of the section, they may
as such separate AND. distinct organi-
zations become part of the National
Guard and entitled to all the privil-
eges of National Guard, including pay
of officers, but that such officers arc
entitled to pay in the advanced grade
provided by state law prior to 1892;
to state it shortly, that they may be.
at one and the same time, not part
of the National Guard and a part OF
the National Guard and entitled to
greater privileges In the matter of
pay.
more reasonable construction is
that the proviso accorded to such or
CARNATIONS affirmatiVely enBlDlllty
for inclusion in the National Guard.
but that if any continued to exist as
organized bodies of state troops out
side the National Guard they would
| in time of war be required to conform
| in organization to that prescribed for
the National Guard.
The last proviso is unnecessary II
such organizations become federal
! lied National Guard; it is designed
! to provide for the possible future
provision for training of such organ
| izations, and their use as militia In
the actual service of the United States
under that clause of the section sub
| jecting them ITO all duties required
by law of militia"
The act of May IL, 1917, extended
special privileges to the 1st Corps
Cadets of the National Guard OF Mas
sachusetts The proviso quoted ac-
cords no new right or privilege. 1t
merely re-affirms that which was au-
thorized by existing law. The organ
ization is definitely stated to be part
of the National Guard. and. such De
ing the case, it's officers and men are
entitled to the same pay as is author-
lied for corresponding units OF the
National Guard, no special or e1cep-
tional privileges as to pay haFihE
been provided The conclusion reached
in previous decisions is adhered to-

mitted to Capt. Otto J. Langtry,
finance officer at Fort Douglas.
The controller general in his de-
cision decides that the officer having
been on active duty for thirty days.
including July 81, is entitled to rental
allowance for the full period, and
that the claim submitted may be paid
by the finance officer From this de-
cision it would appear that reserve

allowance on account of dependents

The policy of the War Department.
as will be seen from revised Army
Regulations, 600-40, is to encourage
.
on all occasions where military dress
| Is proper and in good taste. The re-
vtsed regulations cover all the func-
lions where reserve officer should
appear in uniform and specifically
those cases where a reserve officer
Is also a member of the Regular
Army or the National Guard.
The War Department recently ap-
peaIed from a decision of the con-
troller general, which held that an
cient corps of artillery. cavalry or in
fantry OF the states continued in ex-
istence since May 8. 1892, by virtue oi
the authority contained In section 9
OF the act of that date. and the repe-
titions of that authority in later acts
or Congress relating to the militia
which become a part of the National
Guard, must. for pay purposes, con
form to the organization prescribed
generally for the National Guard, and
that if officers of such organizations
so merged into the National Guard
are federally recognized in grades
other than provided for by tables of
organization for the unit. they are
supernumerary and the law does not
authorize payment to them as Nation
al Guard.
The specific case presented is that
of the commanding officer of the ma =
chine gun battalion, 211th Anti-Aircraft
Regiment, Massachusetts, National
Guard. the battalion being the sue
cessor of the 1st Corps Cadets of
Boston, which had continuous ex-
istence from 1928 and which since
1886. by the bylaws of the state of
Massachusetts,. has been entitled to
be commanded by a lieutenant colo
mel. Tables of organization provide a
major as commanding officer of a
machine gun battalion. The controller
general says in reply:
The substance of section 63 of the
act of June 3, 1916, is not new in
the legislation affecting the militia.
and although the prior statutes were
referred to in the decision Of October
II. 1922, as the basis for the conclu-
sion there announced. quotation of
the provisions in their chronological
order will aid in the ascertainment of

Observations made in Army. circles
reveal that the present recruiting
systems /, of the Citizens Military
Training Corps and the National
Guard are not altogether harmonious
1t Is pointed out that in obtaining
young men to- attend the Citizens
Military Training Corps camps one
of the most attractive inducements to
tha-progpective candidate Is that he
is given a ration OF seventy cents
day, with no guard or police duty. On
the other hand, recruits joining the
National Guard receive a ration OF
lesser value and must perform all
manner Of military duty. r-
Oficers who have been studying the
question are of the opinion that
sooner or later the War Department
will be compelled to take some action
which will regulate the present un-
satisfactory method of obtaining men
for these. organizations and the con
Is that the question should be de-
cided an soon as II Is possible.
