The question OF using the abbre-
Walton Res after the name of q
reserve officer rather than the ini-
tials ORC has come up again for
discussion IN the War Department.
IL the change is made it win cost
several thousands OF dollars to
change the necessary papers Of the
reserve officers New name plates
Will have to be made for the Of
ficers. Of whom there are more than
officers favor the retention Of the
|ORC. since the corps was started
with the use OF the Initials rather
than the abbreviation.
The general staff OF the army Is
studying the possibilities OF reviv-
Ing the inactive units OF the regi-
ment army, with officer personnel
from the reserve corps. This would
make them active for training Of
the reserve officers only. They
would not be manned by enlisted
personnel and would merely be car
ried on paper &C. an active duty.
