The War Department has under con-
! sideration the framing of new legisla-
| ton that shall extend to members OF
/ the enlisted reserve corps the same
provisions that has been enacted in
! behalf of members of the officers
Reserve Corps and officers of the Ma
tional Guard, to the effect that the
! thirty-frst day of the month may be
counted for pay purposes in short
periods of duty, such as Is days. Now,
! when an enlisted man of the reserve
! corps serves, for example. from July
/ 25 to August s, he is entitled 10 re
/ ceive pay only for II days, although
! he served 5 days.
| During the past year the reserve
] corps mas Dtth increased ny o. ~
officers All corps areas report in
/ creases in the number of reserve
! officers, with the exception of the
! Second and Fifth Corps Areas, where
there has been slight decreases. The
| Eighth Corps Area has the greatest
gain, with an increase of Lila. At
| the present time there are approx
| imately 2215 local reserve officers and
! 20 enlisted men of the reserve corps.
| According to Maj. Frank A. Frost,
! treasurer of the Reserve officers As
| ISOLATION of the District of Columbia,
the paid-up membership of the asso-
! citation is now approximately 700
| members, or about one-third of the
! number of reserve officers residing in
/ Washington. The association has
practically doubled its membership
since the last annual meeting when
/ every officer started out after two
new members. Much good work il
I this connection has been accomplished
at the United States Veterans Bureau
through the efforts of Majs. Omer W,
, Clark, Infantry. o. r. c., and John l..
/ Cutter. q. NJ. o. K. g, in urging re-
serve officers who are employees OF
! the bureau. to join the association and
apply for reserve commissions, if
/ eligible.
