AGES OF OFFICERS
IN GUARD STUDIED
Old Officers With Company
Commands Held to Hold
Promotions.

The problem of the age of officers in
the National Guard has caused some
concern in Congress, and the War De-
partment is making study to ascer-
tain the number still on duty with the
smaller units. 1t was pointed out to
the militia officers by members of the
Legislative Committee that the keep
ing Of these old officers in their COM
pany units might have the tendency to
cause stagnation and affect the morale
The War Department has very def
mite regulations as TO the age of ap-
pointments for the various ranks. as
for instance that of company COM
manders, where the age limit for OBJ
tanning commission is 40 years. But
this might mean that an officer ap-
pointed for duty at 40 years might stay
with the same command 10 years or
more, the Congressman contending that
1t is questionable whether these officers
would be able to perform the most ac-
tive duties of company officer in
case they we're called into service in
the event of q national emergency.
However, 1t was asserted the ages of
officers in grade cannot be as strictly
controlled in the National Guard as
in the Regular establishment, where
a single promotion list is maintained.
In the States if an officer were pro-
NOTED it might not be possible for him
to serve in the regular drills, because
the unit to which he might have been
promoted might be located some dis
tance from his civilian home.
There is also the problem of keeping
the officer with the men with whom
he lives and works. They point to the
case of company in a small COM
munity. The War Department will
make study and report to Congress.
Continuance of the policy of order
ing large bodies of militia and Regular
Army into the field together is urged
by the Army officials, who contend the
expense involved is more than JUS
titled by the training obtained in
showing the militiamen particularly
what would be expected of them in
time of war, when they would be
merged with the divisions and Army
corps in the field.
