Eighteen months having elapsed since
the revision Of the Reserve policies,
Reserve officers Of the District Of
Columbia are taking stock Of them
selves to ascertain the real effect OF
this revision and to determine whether
or not the change made In the admin
istration Of the Organized Reserves has
increased the efficiency of this COM
ponent part of the Army Of the United
States. The immediate effect of the
modification divided Army Reserve
officers into three groups! (a) The
active group, comprising those who are
working to maintain and develop a rea-1
sonable military efficiency in peace
time; OBJ the inactive group, consist
ing of those Of certain military attain
ments who do not take training in times
of peace, but who are believed to retain
a certain measure of military useful
ness; 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.
Considered from an academic point
OF view, 1t sounds reasonable to claim
that If an officers civil occupation
qualities him for the military duties he
would assume in an emergency 1t would

training or to require him to take
training subjects with which; he is
already conversant. But is it a. safe or
even reasonable assumption that any
civil occupation really trains or quail
fies man to be soldier or a leader
of soldiers? In advocacy of this policy
it is claimed that an engineer officer
or a medical officer would be getting all
the training needed for his wartime
mission In his ordinary civil occupation.
Proponents of the policy, however, freely
admit that in the case of q medical or
engineer officer assigned to combat
duties some special military training is
necessary,
1t has been alleged that distinguished
engineers and surgeons, as well as GER
tain other individuals, would leave the
Reserve Corps If peace-time military
training were required Of them. Doubt
less this is true In certain number
of cases. But there are quite as many
equally DISTINGUISHED civilians In COM

League Of Nations Memorandum

GENEVA H1.-The population Of the

production and trade discloSes.
The rate Of increase was highest In
South America.
World population in 1923 was about
10 per cent greater than in 1918, while
world production Of foodstuffs and raw
materials in the same period increased
about IS per cent and world trade grew
about 20 per cent.
The Leagues experts found that IN
recent years the world production OF
foodstuffs has increased at a somewhat

siderably reduced in 1928 as a result OF
exceptionally heavy food crops, but 1t
was again accentuated In 1929.
such information as the League could
obtain suggested that the manufaccltr-
ing industry has progressed more rapid

Year by year, says the report, new econ

In the textile group the relatively slow
development of the cotton and wool in

an increase in the output OF natural

Organized Reserves

blatant arms, such as Infantary and Ar
tillery, as there are In the on-comba-
tant arms, and an equal number Of
these, 1t Is expected, have left the Re-
serve Corps because of the inability or
unwillingneSs to give time to military
training. The success of the Reserve
Corps, a washington Reserve officer
pointed out, depends upon the ability
TO obtain SUFFICIENT number of civilians
to take a limited amount of military
training in peace time. If such num-
Der cannot be obtained, then it Is
foolish to label large number Of
civilians with military rank to which
they are not entitled.
The belief Is held, however, that 1t
is possible to obtain q suitable number
of civilians to take such military train
ing in peace time as will constitute a
reliable and effective Reserve Corps.
With the passing of time, the indica-
tons are that the Reserve Corps will
has obtained in the past, but a group
of well trained Reservists who attend
camps regularly and take their military
status seriously.
Reserve officers from the District de-
string to attend the 1881 course at the
Command and General STAFF School,
Fort Leavenworth, Kans., should make
written application through proper
military channels before october l,
next. This course of instruction is
three months in duration and will
begin about March Is, 1881. The candi-
dates will be selected by the War De-
partment.
Priority in making recommendations
will be given first to those Reserve OFF,
GERS who have creditably completed the
command and general staff extension
course, and second, to those who have
creditably completed the first four sub
courses thereof. Principals and alter
mates will be chosen only from those
who have completed satisfactorily at
least the first four subcourses of the
extension course. Only Reserve officers
who are not members of the National
Guard will be recommended. Reserve
officers recommended for this detail
must not be more than IS years Of age,
except that In very exceptional cases
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-08-24

this age limit may be waived by the
War Department. In no case VIII an
oficer be detailed to take this course
who is more than so years of age.
In addition to the mental require
nents, each offlcer selected for this de-
tail must be physically qualified to carry
on t. mounted and field work required
during the conduct Of the course. Much
Of the work is conducted out Of doors,
ara each officer must spend consid-
cradle time in the saddle.
In applying for this school assign
ment loc Reserve officers must state in
their application (a) that they VIII
accept the assignment II ordered to ac-
tive duty for the purpose: (b) that they
are not members of the National Guard;
(rN number and age o. dependents; I'D
amount and kinds Of prior service
claimed which can be credited In cor. :
putting longevity pay; (e) date Of birth,
and 20 progress in completion Of the
command and general staff extension
course.
Instructions have been issued by the
V DEPARTMENT governing the physical
qualifications of Reserve ofilcefs attend
ing general and special service schools.
First of all, no applications for detail
Of Reserve officers to the general or
special service schools will be favorably
considered unless accompanied by 3 re-
port of physical examination (Adjutant
Generals ONCE, form 63), stating cate
gorically that the applicant Is mentally
and physically fit for extended felo
service.
No officer will be recommended OF
sent to take a course at a service school
who Is on the emergency ofncerS retlreo
list or who is drawing any compensa-
ton from the Government for physical
disability. A Reserve officer wishing to
attend general or special service
school will state in his application
whether or not he is on the emergency
officers retired list or whether or not
he is receiving any compensation for
physical disability from the Govern
ment.

question with that body, being how
10 get about It. Action on such a
move should be unanimous before
we proceed.
1T seems that no money will be
available for such a purpose until
next fall. but when the commission
ers meet and study the situation, II
a quicker way presents itself. IL Is
my idea that the commissioners will
adopt it.
Personally. I favor q new Jail"

results in permitting the younger
persons to roam about downstairs.
The fact that asylums are so
full that they cannot Immediately

us TO have TO house those unfortun-
