of the country are limited, 1t being
insisted that 1t is impossible for a
reserve officer to qualify for promo
ton in the minimum time prescribed
by the regulations. The contention
that this time should be doubled
seems to be borne out by the fact that
of the approximately 100000 reserve
officers, funds are available for train
ing during the year about $4,000, and
1t Is pointed out that a reserve officer
in order to qualify for promotion in
the minimum time set down in the
regulations should at least be given
I an opportunity to demonstrate his fit
ness for advancement by attending
| camp every year.
There is food for thought in the
statement which has been made in
connection with this subject, that off,
GERS of the regular establishment who
are in a constant state of training
are required to serve a far longer
period in grade than the reserve Off
GERS. and in fairness to the officers Of
these two components Of the Army
of the United States 1t is difficult to
see on what grounds a reserve officer
can in peace time, with limited train
| ing facilities, claim q more rapid pro-
motion than the regular officer who
is In constant training and practice

With the rapid filing up Of the au-

indication that something will have to
be done to equalize the peace-time
promotion Of the regular and reserve
officer. It Is admitted that this may
prove to be difficult matter to ad-
just, and it will call for a compre-
hensive study of the entire question
to insure a just and equitable settle
ment for the regulation Of promotion
In peace time between tha officers Of
the Regular Army and the reserve.
