Organized Reserves

ofnces would during a major emer-
gency be engaged in duties far back OF
the fighting lines, where they would be
doing the same kind of construction
work or the same type Of surgical prac-
tice as that done by them every day In
their ordinary civil occupations, If the
construction engineer or the base oper-
ating surgeon Is not familiar with the
military aspects Of their Army duties,
delayed until such information is OBJ
tanned, which Is what happened in
more than one instance in the last war
1t has been alleged that distinguished
engineers and surgeons, as well as GER
tain other individuals, would leave the
Reserve Corps II peace-time military
training were required Of them.
Doubtless this is true in certain num-
Der of cases. But there are quite as
many equally distinguished civilians in
combatant arms. such as Infantry and
Blatant arms, and an equal number Of
these, it is expected, will leave the Re-
serve Corps because of the inability
or unwillingness to give time to mill
tary training.
With the approach Of the 1929-30 in
active Institutional season for Reserve
officers residing in the District of Co
lumbia, which will begin in october, a
tentative Institutional schedule Is In
course of preparation at local Reserve
headquarters, which upon completion
will be sent to the various chiefs of
branches for approval. Following is
given the tentative monthly schedule
which in all probability will be ap-
proved: Three Hundred and Twentieth
Infantry, first and third Tuesday: 313th
Field Artillery, Col. Leroy w. Heron,
commanding, first and third Wednes-
Gay; 343d Engineers, Col. John Stewart,
commanding, fourth Wednesday,: Cav
airy, first and third Thursday; Ord
nance, second Monday: Chemical War
fare Service, second Monday; Coast Ar
tillery Corps, second Friday; Air Corps
and Adjutant Generals Department,
second Tuesday: Signal Corps, fourth
Tuesday; Quartermaster Corps, second
and fourth Wednesday; Finance Depart
ment, second Thursday; 80th Division
staff, third Thursday; Medical, first Fri
day; Specialist, fourth Friday; 42Sth
Infantry, Lieut.. Col. West A. Hamilton,
commanding, first and third Monday.

their conferences on the fourth Friday.
The method of instruction to be pur-
sued during the 1929-30 season will be

Health Education.
There are so many new swimming
classes beginning these next few days
that there is not space enough for de-
tailed description. However, the new
schedule may be had at either the 614
E street pool or the pool at Seventeenth
and K streets.
The special swimming instruction
rate TO groups Of 10 or more is still in
force. Those desiring to take advan-
tage of this should communicate with
the ONCE at an early date. as the avail
able hours are being rapidly crossed of
the schedule. These courses include
the usual six half-hour lessons with two
absences allowed. The hours covered
are from 5 to $50, and between and
$50 in the evening at the z street pool.
The usual medical examination Is re-
quired once year.

who has been attached to the health
education Office for the past two years,

A number of Reserve officers residing
in the District of Columbia appear to
be in doubt as to their proper desig-
nation. Originally In addition to the
branch designation after the rank, there
were appended the letters 20. r. c.
sequently, these letters were discarded
and the abbreviation Res" was SUBJ
stituted. A little later instructions were
issued by the Secretary OF War that
this abbreviation should be dropped In
the case Of those officers assigned to
units and the unit designation subSti-
tuted, as the number of the unit was
considered suficient indication of which
component Of the Army the officer was
a member.
The matter has now been clarified by
Changes No. / Of Army Regulations
140-5. In accordance, then, with the
assigned he should write after his rank
and branch the abbreviation Res, -
/. e., John Smith, Capt, Inf.-Res." In
the event the ofiicer is assigned to a
unit, he should give in addition to the
above the number of his organization,
l. E., John Smith, Capt, I'M. .Res.,
303d Inf" or John Smith, Capt, Inf.-
Res, 26th Inf"
Now that more than six months has
elapsed since the revision Of the Re-
serve policies were placed into effect,
Reserve officers of the District Of Co
lumbia are taking stock of themselves
to ascertain the real effect of this re-
vision and to determine whether or not
the change made in the administra-
ton OF the Organized Reserves has in
creased the efficiency of this component
OF the Army Of the United States.
The immediate effect of the modifica-
ton made the latter part of last De-
cember divided Army Reserve officers
into three groups: (a) The active
group, comprising those who are work.
ing to maintain and develop q reason
able military efficiency in peace time !;
(b) the inactive group, consisting of
those of certain military attachments
who do not take training in times of
peace, but who are believed to retain q
certain measure of military usefulness,
and (c) the special privilege group,
consisting Of those who do no military
training in peace time, but who retain
all the privileges of the active group.
In advocacy of the policy, 1t is
claimed that an engineer oflcer or a
medical ofiicer would be getting all the
training needed for his wartime mis-
sion in his ordinary civil Occupation.
Proponents Of the policy, however,
freely admit that in the case of a
medical or engineer ofiicer assigned to
combat duties some special military
training is necessary. But even though
certain engineer officers and medical
