Military Training Camps Association,
which held that young men who had
not reached their twenty-fifth birth
day anniversary before the opening
date of the camp could be accepted.
The law on the point is otherwise in
terpreted at the War Department, ac-
cording to- the notification sent to
corps area commanders by Brig. Gen.
Alvord. acting adjutant general. 1t
says specifically that the appropria-
tons for the camps shall not be used
for the training of any person who is
over twenty-four years of age" ex-
cept those who had received similar
training the calendar years of 1921
and 1922.
An opinion holding that officers of
the Philippine Scouts should serve
only in connection with the command
or administration of organizations of
the Philippine Scouts in the Philip
pine Islands" In time of peace was
handed down this week by the Judge
advocate general of the Army. 1t
was also held. however. that for
training purposes scout officers would
be ordered to the United States for
assignment as students in service
schools. The question arose over the
necessity of properly providing for
the status of Philippine Scout officers
so that they might, wherever possible,
benefit from the organized service
school system built up on war ex-
perience.

United States supplied the largest
proportion of foodstuHS, nnance and
shipping.
1t will be seen that even to ap-
proximate the amount of relief spread
out so generously and through so
many channels is well nigh impossi-
BILE. In the above summary or some
of the principal bits of the relief
mosaic it will promptly be noted that
some agencies have not even been
mentioned. For example, there is the
very active society, headed by Miss
Anne Morgan, which is still at work
the American Committee for Relief of
Devastated France-which is sending
good will'' delegates across. This
one organization has spent many mil
lions of dollars.
Many Organizations Aid.
Then there is another organization
which had a great vogue during the
war-The Fatherless Children of
France. There were innumerable or
ganiza tions which did widespread and
extremely useful service in the de-
vastated regions both during and
since the war, in Germany. Austria.
Poland and Russia. Another example
"a group of wealthy women in Phil
adclphia sent a unit to France which
did magnificent piece of work. Units
were also sent overseas by Smith,
Vassar, Barnard and other colleges
1t is estimated by those who have
made a close study of the conditions
that from $3.50, 100000 to 100000, 900
p year has been sent to Europe since
the war, which did not go through or
ganized channels, but which must
surely be counted as relief work.
Then, there must not be overlook ed
another great aid to stricken Europe
by American tourists who are spend
ing S250,000, 900 to $3.50, 100000 a year
abroad.

Under a ruling by the judge advo-
cate general members of the naval
reserve force on duty under compe-
tent orders on board naval reserve
vessels in any capacity other than at
drills, are in the active service" and
that while performing such service
they are entitled to be furnished with
medical care and treatment by the
government and that when such care
and treatment cannot be furnished IN
kind by the Navy, the law authorizes
its procurement from outside sources,
| the government being responsible for
the expense thereof if properly au-
thorized and incurred.
The ruling holds that when it be-
comes necessary to incur expenses for
| medical and hospital services for
members of the naval reserve force
procured from sources outside the
government that the government is
responsible for the total expense, re-
gardless of whether or not their
period of service would have termi-
mated except for the diSa bility ariS-
ing.
