Integral Part of First Ade.

eraI Writes.

ey the Associated Press.
Gen. Pershing believes that the or
kanized Army reserve officers consti-
tute an integral part of the first ade-
quate plan of national defense our
country has ever had"
The views of the former general of
the American Armies were made public
by Brig. Gen. Roy Hoffman of Okla
homa City, president of the Reserve
Officers' Association of the United
States, before the House Army appro-
priationS subcommittee.
Letter Is Submitted.
Hoffman submitted a letter from
Gen. Pershing addressed to the aSso-
citation
lively short period of time that has
elapsed since the adoption in 1920 of
the first adequate plan of national de-
fense our county has ever had. it is
especially gratifying to note the in
creaSing interest and cooperation of
reserve officers" Pershing wrote.
With the reserve feature the scheme
provides an adequate force. and as the
reserves form no part of the permanent
regular establishment, it is also eco
nomical. 1t should be emphasized that
the success of the plan depends upon
the active support Of the reserve officers
Efficiency Paramount.
THAT the development has been sat-
isfactory is a striking commentary upon
the patriotism and the clear concep-
tion by reserve officers of the import
ance of the part they must play.
Finally however, successful preparation
rests not upon the number of reserve
officers on the rolls but upon their eff
cheney.
Il am glad to have this opportunity
to express to reserve officers my hearty
congratulations upon their devotion, and
my earnest hope for continued effort
toward the goal of reasonable prepared
ness for the Nation"

Napoleon's famous saying that

by observations of Army officials
on the morale of the American
enlisted man after more than a
years trial of the new ration pur-
chased at a cost of so cents a
day for each man.
Testifying before House sub
committee on the Army appropri-

food was having an excellent"

Asked by Representative Clague,
Republican, of Minnesota, what
effect the elimination of canteen
liquor had had on morale, Gen.
Summerall said he felt the Army
"is immeasurably better off under
the present law than it was under
the old law"
