A spirited discussion has been going
on in local reserve circles as to the
War Department policy on general
staff assignments of reserve officers.
There is no general staff section of
the Reserve Corps, and under the
mobilization plans those reserve Off
GERS who are assigned thereto are as
signed for a period of four wears. Be-
fore they may become eligible for a
second general staff assignment they
must have served one year in their
respective branch of the service in
which they are commissioned.
Reserve officers now on duty wit n
general staff sections it is pointed out
are now regarded as extra numbers
in the section of the Reserve Corps in
which they hold a commission. The
assignment of a reserve officer to duty
with a general staff section does not
create a vacancy for promotion in the
section of the Reserve Corps in which
he is commissioned nor in the assign
ment jurisdiction to which he belongs.
Such reserve officers relieved from as
SlSnrnenl TO Uuly with general stan
sections will be available for assign
ment in the section of the Reserve
Corps in which they are commissioned
Though tables of organization may
in some cases indicate a higher grade
in the general staff section than that
held by the officer who is assigned
thereto, this will not be construed to
mean that a vacancy exists for pro-
motion. 1t is prescribed in paragraph
so (2) in Army Regulations 1905 that
there be an appropriate vacancy in
the grade and section in which an off
Ger holds n position in order that
promotion may be effected
Under the provisions of paragra ph
20 of Army Regulations 140-5 reserve
officers now assigned to duty with gen.
eral staff sections will be regarded as
serving a four-year tour, and will be
relieved by corps area commanders at
the expiration of four years from
duties of original assignment In ac-
Cordance with earlier instructions, un-
til further notice. there will be no as.
signments to the staffs of Army corps.

cannot he confirmed, however, but as
it Is generally believed that Col. Scott
will be given a school detail, the nat
ural conclusion has been drawn that
it will be at the Command and Gen
era Staff School. The natural as
sumption, it was pointed out this week
by prominent reserve officer is that
Maj. G. p. George, Field Artillery, as
sistant executive officer at reserve
headquarters, who is now taking a
special course in reserve matters at
Fort Sill, and who is the immediate
junior officer at headquarters, will be
given this assignment. Maj. George
was acting executive officer during
Col. Scotts sick leave last Fall and
performed these duties in an efficient
manner. Should Maj. George be APP
pointed to direct the reserve activities
in Washington, the choice will be a
most popular one among the Wash
ington reservists.

SHAKERS SOON T0 BE BUT MEMORY Famous Religious Sect Fast
 Passing Away

Lebanon. Ohio, Nov P-Only the epilogue remains 10 be told of the story of the Shakers, once pow erful religious sect.
 l Less than half century ago the Shakers owned and farmed thou sands of acres of the best lands in | Ohio. as well as rich tracts in the cast Today. all their Ohio lands are | in the hands of others, and the Shakers have gone. The few col onies remaining in the East. at East 1 Canterbury. N. H.; Pittsfield, Mass, and West Albany. and Mount Lob- anon, \. Y., number but few dwin- ding hundreds.
 Pounded 150 Ypars Ago More than a century and a half ago. the adherents of "Mother Ann Lec' came to America from Eng land, and established the first colony of Shakers in New York state. Nearly century and a quar- ter ago John Mcacham, Isaachar Bates and Benjamin s. Youngs, mis- sionaries of the new faith. came over the Alleghenies to Lebanon, Ohio where they set up the banner of the Shakers in the wilderness.
 Despite opposition. the new sect grew and became wealthy. The Shakers bought the best land in the region. They were sober, industri- ous pious and honest They abolish cd marriage and depended upon converts from other denominations or from the world" to keep up their membership. But they of fercd the convert little beyond life Of peace and quiet. When man and his wife joined the sect. all their material possessions passed into the hands of the church, and the coniueal ties were abolished.
 Lives Almost Monastic
 Shakers made their life almost monastic in color. Like monks and nuns they toiled for their church. gave succor to the needy, and main- tained the relationship of brothers and sisters. The pooling" of lands and all resources in the hands of 'llN NlfiiiN II ilit'iC il i enterprise.
 There was little intellectual life education was not encouraged until the later years of the church. The Shakers believed that Adam and Eve were the physical progenitors of man, but that mans spiritual na- ture sprang from the mythical union of Jesus and Ann Lee.
 But the church and communistic colonies founded on these beliefs and practices did not prosper. There were desertions; schisms broke out Within comparatively few years the membership in Ohio dropped from more than a thousand to the one lone Shaker still in Lebanon, and the total membership in all the colonies in America from more than 6,Q00 to less than half thousand.
