| DAYS, after which he will return to
Washington.
Units OF the Guard which heretofore
have increased the size of their COM
mandS TO the number required before
| they could take the field on an annual
| encampment are going to find II diff
cult this year. under regulations Just
promulgated by the Militia Bureau Of
the War Department. Sometimes, in
the past, only few days before camp.
when II was impossible to recruit men
| for organizations below the field
| strength, and in order to comply with
the prerequisites. men have been hur-
riedly transferred from the reserve list,
and sent to camp.
However, this practice, 1t was pointed
out. has grown into an evil. Many
men, II Is known. enlist in the Guard
for the express purpose of attending
the annual encampments. Many Gov
ernment employees like to so because
this time is not checked against their
annual leave. When the encampment
was over, they have shown little in
terest III the armory drilling during the
year; at least, they have failed to at
tend With some, there is sort of
unwritten understanding that their
camp duty will be sufficient. and they
may remain OH the reserve list for the
remainder of the year. 1t has been
found that 1t hurts an organization
because many of the men are non-com-
miSsioned officers, and the complaint
has been that when they return to the
active list for the encampment they
have displaced men who have worked
hard during the year to keep the or
ganiZation together.
The War Department points out that
as Federal appropriations for expenses
at camps of instruction are based on
the estimated attendance of the
active" National Guard, the attend
al of assigned commissioned and en-
listed National Guard Reservists at
field training camps will be authorized
by the militia bureau only as replace
ments of active personnel who are un-
able 10 attend
However the War Department is not
this year giving blanket authority TO
the National Guard to determine
whether it is proper TO order these re-
serviStS to the inactive list. Under the
instructions just laid down. the organ.
IZation commanders must find out long
ahead of the camp period whether they
will need any requirements. for the
reason that the militia bureau will re-
Quire that special authority be obtained
in each case. This takes several weeks
under the roundabout way OF handling
Government correspondence.
These requests for authority must
give the name, rank and assignment of
National Guard Reservists whose at
tendance is desired. with the specific
duties to be performed. and also the
name. rank and assignment OF the
active National Guardsman who is to
be replaced, with a reason for his non
attendance.

Provision is made in the new pro-
posal that Air Corps flying officers

grade Of captain when credited with
seven years commissioned service; TO
the grade of major when credited with
IL years commissioned service; to the
grade of lieutenant colonel when cred
tied with 20 years commissioned serv-
ice, and to the grade Of colonel when
credited with 26 years commissioned
service All. flying officers Of the Air
Corps below the grade of colonel, under
the new proposal, shall be promoted in
the order of their standing on the Air
Corps promotion list provided that the
number Of Air Corps officers In the
grade of colonel shall not be less than
4 per cent nor more than 6 per cent,
and the number in the grade of lieu
tenant colonel shall not be less than
per cent nor more than per cent of

the grades Of colonel, lieutenant colonel
and major, and only in 50 far as their
promotion will not cause said maximum
percentages to be exceeded shall ofi-
GERS who have completed the prescribed
years Of commissioned service be pro-
NOTED to the grades of colonel, lieu
tenant colonel and major Non-nying
oficers Of the Air Corps. under the
new proposal. are to be promoted as
provided for other branches of the
Army
Animated discussion has been going
on in Army circles over that section
OF the proposal which prescribes that
in computing the length Of service for
retirement credit will be given for
double the time actually detailed to
duty involving hying. and credit will
also be given for all other time now
counted toward retirement in the Army
Provision is also made that when
flying officer OF the Air Corps reaches

plication. be retired from active service
and placed on the retired list. The

Army.
Interest Is being evinced in the pro-
posal to restrict the promotion OF Sec
ond lieutenants OF the Regular army.
Existing law prescribes that second
lleutenantS be promoted according TO
seniority with the exception OF those In
the Medical and Chaplain Corps, VINO
enter the service as first lieutenants and
whose promotion is based upon length
OF service in grade. Should such rule
be adopted, a prohibition would be
placed. it Is pointed out, upon the spe-
cial duty assignments and school de-
tails of second lieutenants, especIaliy
from second lieutenants OF the Stan
Corps There are q number OF engl-
neer officers Of this rank who, IN order
to broaden their engineering education
are sent to the Shefheld Scientinc
School at Yale and other engineering
schools.
Adoption of this proposal would also
nullify the recently adopted policy rel
ative to the training of those officers
who will be commissioned second lieu
tenants in the Signal Corps upon their
graduation from the Military Academy
next June. Under this policy. these
officers, following their graduation
leave. will be assigned to tactical or
ganizations at Fort Monmouth. N. j.,
where they will remain for one year
Upon the completion OF this year with
troops, this group of officers will be sent
to the signal school for the purpose o
taking the company officers course and
following this year of instruction viii
be sent to a postgraduate course OF in
struction in electrical engineering at
Yale. Thus, two years out Of the three
necessary to qualify them for promo
ton to first lieutenant would be spent
in postgraduate work. which. under
the proposal would make them eligible
to qualify for promotion.
Under the Furlow proposal, provid-
ing for a separate promotion list for
the personnel of the Army Air Corps
personnel, there would be prepared an
Air Corps promotion list that would
contain the names OF all officers of the
Air Corps Of the regular establishment
below the grade OF colonel These
names would be arranged in the same
relative order that! they now have on
the Army promotion list. All officers
commissioned in the Air Corps after
the formation of the original Air Corps
promotion list would be placed there
on in accord with length Of commits
stoned service.

In no case will such attendance be
allowed to increase the authorized
strength Of any unit.
The Militia Bureau Of the War De-
partment has issued instructions that
no officer, warrant offlcer or enlisted
man of the National Guard will be au-
thoriSed to take field training other
than during the period authorized for
his organization. Departure from this
general policy will not be authorized
unless IL can be shown 1t will be mani

eral Government to do so. In this con-
nection the State staff and State de-
tachment will be considered as an or
ganization and carried as such In the
State estimate, except that camp sup
ply personnel may be detailed there
from.
Where the units of a tactical orga-
nization, that is, battalion, regiment,
brigade. or division. take their field
training during different periods, the
commanding oficer thereof and the
members Of his staff will be authorized
to attend only one 15-day period.

States, In lieu OF other training. pro-
vided their attendance at such camps

In preparation for the annual train
ing camps, the Militia Bureau has au-
thorized an advance camp supply de-
tachment to precede the troops TO the
camp site and open the line Of supply
as follows: For camps of at least
regiment, one oficer and two enlisted
men for three days prior to the OPEN

its close.
The following advance guard for the

Time ON the rife range OF the Ma

w. Oehmann, commanding the local
Ensineer regiment, with a view 10 Civ
ins each unit Of his organization at
least two Sundays on the range, 1t IS
hoped in this way TO qualify all Of the
members of the regiment well before
camp and have this feature OF their
training out OF the way, SO that the
time may be devoted TO preparations
for the annual encampment, which viii
be held this year at Cascade, Nd, on
the permanent camp site OF the Mary

pany
The first platoon of Companies A,
b and c and one section Of the Head
quarters and Service Company were
out last Sunday and will fire again on
May 20.
The two battalion commanders have
been instructed by Col. Oehmann 70
assign a range officer to attend the
practice of their respective battalionS.
The men have been instructed 70 as
Senlble at the armory not later than
8 O'Clock each Sunday morning. when
necessary trucks will be on hand TO
transport the units to the range, where
the firing will start about 10 O'Clock.
While the service will be on Sun
6sy. the men will be given credit for
one drill for the period they are on the
range.
It Is absolutely necessary. it was said,
for the men to engage in the practice
at this time. as the former method Of
sending out the whole command for
four DAYS In the field has been aban-
Goned. as has also the method OF per-
mitting them to take their firing while
attending the annual encampment
This latter method. 1t was found, in
terfereo with the field training prepar-
ations. as many men would be away
from a command. which could not
function TO its fullest efficiency. and
the men lost much valuable engineering
training while in attendance upon the

TOO MANY UMPRES

Political bureaucracy in the Unit
ed States is showing a dangerous
growth, according to Representative
Chas. A. Eaton OF New Jersey.
"It is idle to. deny" says Mr.. Ea-
ton, ''that in recent years in this
country there has been tremendous
enlargement OF government inter-
ference in the private liberties and
lives of our citizens. The whole re-
lation of the American citizen to his
government has undergone and is
undergoing profound change.
Political bureaucracy is growing
like a weed. In every case it invol-
yes increased political personnel, in
creased expenditure, increased taxes
and diminished initiative and oppor-
tunity for the individual. =
Mr.. Eaton maintains that under
the American scheme, the govern
mena is merely the umpire and the
people play the game.

WIDER ROADS

Discussing the advantage OF Wild
er roads, the Chicago Tribune says:
..Itis commended that rule against
slow driving should be enforced to
prevent congestion of traffic. On a
narrow road the slow drivers clog
the lane. The answer is, there
should be no marrow roads.
Road builders thought If they
made the road hard and smooth and
well graded, they had laid down an
automobile road. They had not.
They had built half a road. 1t
ought not to be necessary to compel
a driver to travel more rapidly than
he cares to. Leisurely-minded peo-
pie ought not to find that the age
cannot tolerate their habits. There
is much to commend them. They
are probably more solid and substan-
tial than habits of going nowhere at
high speed.
1.-The narrow road is just next to
no road at all. Four lines OF travel
are required for days in which every
other person drives car"
The slogan good roads" is not
enough. Two more words must be
added, wider roads,"

will begin to appear in Maryland en-
blazoned with the warning: You
May Have Tuberculosis" Watch
for these danger signs: too easily
tired. loss OF weight. indigestion,
cough that hangs on Let Your
Doctor Decide.
This is the first move in the ''early
diagnosis campaign to be waged
during the month of March by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association.
Doctor Martin F. Sloan, President
of the Association, stated in an.
nouncing the opening of the cam
paign: Never can the war against
tuberculosis be won until the aver
age case is discovered earlier. In
one Of the large sanatoriums, rec
ords show that So per cent OF the pa
tients admitted are In an ADVANCED
stage. Modern scientific knowledge
of the disease, the use of the X-ray
and microscopical examination OF the
sputum, render it possible to dag
nose tuberculosis often before the
victim suspects it.
THE treatment OF rest, fresh air.
nourlshing food, sunshine is still the
recognized remedy-applied in time.
All that stands in the way of stamp
ing out tuberculosis is to find the
cases early. Anyone who has the
danger signs described should con-
suit his doctor at once"
