been revived in the number of Re-

to take any military training and who
show no interest In maintaining their
military qualifications. There are still

as "deadwood." In addition to these
who are entirely indifferent to their

there Is further a considerable number
who make so little effort to maintain
their military efficiency as to make them
OF doubtful value in the case OF an
emergency.
It Is estimated that only about a. per
cent Of the Reserve Corps is available
for training. The War Department and
many OF the active Reserve officers have
been aware of this situation for some
time and the policy inaugurated some
months ago OF compelling Reserve off,
