gathering of re-
serve officers in Iisut. Col. Bulls.
Washington for
short and intensive course of training
In the operations and training division
of the General Staff. Lieut.. Col. L.
Roy F. Smith. General Staff Reserve
acted as executive officer of the com
nlittee.
AS is customary upon the compile
ton of this special course of lnStruc
ton, recommendations were drawn III
and submitted to the Secretary o
War. Considerable interest is being
attached to the recommendation:
which this committee has made. Those
who have been closely following the
work OF this special committee poin
out that II the tenor of its discus
Sions l. my criterion il will recon-
mend IN strong terms that more op
portunit;eS be afforded for the proper
training OF every reserve officer. This
of course, is dependent upon the
amount of the appropriations, which
if they are not increased, will make Il
impossible for the War Department
as much as it might be desired, to
carry out this recommendation. 1t is
also expected that the committee VII
urge that more reserve officers De ue
tailed to active duty with the genera
staff, so that as many reserve offlcefs
as possible can became intimately ac
quainted with the operations anu
i training division of the general stan
The detailing of more reserve officers
in the War Department, it is pointed
out, will not only give as many re
serve officers as possible n certain
amount of general staff training, but
the department will be equally oene
fitted by securing a wide range ol
views of representative reserve ON
GERS on the various problems when
confront the reservists in their train
ing and organization.
