In preparation for the year Of
field training a number OF officers OF
the local militia brigade have been
ordered to various Army service
schools to take so-called "refresher"
courses. The ordering Of them to
these schools, 1t was said, indicates
that it will be several months before
the local brigade is called into the
field, as they are expected to COM
plete the courses and return to duty
with their units here before being
ordered out.
Last week nine officers were sent
to the Engineer School at Fort
Belvoir, Va; three coast artillery
officers were sent to the Chemical
Warfare School at Edgewood Ar
senal, Md, and four coast artillery
officers have been sent to the Coast
Artillery School at Fort Monroe,
Va. There is a probability that more
officers will be called into the serv-
ice.
1t was indicated every effort will
be made to provide opportunity for
as many officers to attend these
schools as possible.
The problem of physical examina-
tions for the officers OF the Guard
Is being studied. Many officers who
have been in the Guard for years
are likely to have their physical
ability to Withstand vigorous field
service questioned, and it was
pointed out that there are cases
where officers in the Guard collected
pensions for physical disability for
service in previous wars, but later
waived It when it became necessary
either for them to give up their Ma
tional Guard commissions or the
pension.
Brigade headquarters officers have
not been informed as to where the
physical examinations will be held
upon being ordered into the service.
They are not likely to be held at the
armory here during the five or ten
days that the troops remain here be-
fore being sent to Fort George G.
Meade, Md, it was said, because
there are no facilities here for con-
ducting them. 1t was said that X
rays will be taken OF the chests of
all officers, although it has not been
determined whether this practice
also will be followed for the enlisted
personnel.
Brigade headquarters announced
that the following enlisted men hold
commissions in the National Guard
of the United States, a separate
component from the organized Ma
tional Guard, and Immediately upon
being called into the field these
men will assume their commissioned
status. and leave the ranks OF then
