ton of thesis be authorized as meet
ing the requirements for a certificate
of capacity for the promotion of Re-
serve officers is not favored by the

of the Army. that will be followed by
the War Department regarding in
active-duty credits for the prepara-

paclty for promotion is regarded as
adequate credit for the work done in
