Naval Reserves Here May Get
More Annapolis Candidates
Quote for Officers School =.
Has Been Increased TwofoId

Preparations are being made by
the Naval Reserve Battalion here
to provide for larger class of Ma
val Academy candidates next year
than has ever before been In train
ing in the local outfit. There also
were some indications last week that
provision would be made for pro-
viding an Organized Reserve division
with which they can drill in order
to comply with the requisite that
they must perform a minimum num-
Der of drills with an active division.
1t was learned that the Navy De-
partment is working on such a pro-
gram, and perhaps 1t may be an
nounced this week.
The need for making some pro-
vision for the handling of larger
classes here to assure that the Ma
val Academy billets are filled is
pointed out by the fact that Con-
gress has increased the number Of
appointments to the naval school
which can be made from the Naval
Reserve from so to 100 men in each
year, and each must be an enlisted
member of the active Naval Re-
serve. There are three special di-
visions now drilling regularly at the
local battalion, two of which are
a part of the Washington battalion
and the other division from Balti-
more, from which city all of the
Organized Reserve divisions have
been sent to sea. In order to COM
ply with the law, it was necessary
for the Baltimore men to come here
for the remainder of the year.
The members of these classes will
take their competitive examination
on May 7, and because Congress has
increased the number from the Re
serve, it is expected that a far
greater portion of the candidates
throughout the country will come
from this district. The successful
candidates will enter the Naval
Academy on July /. Not all Of those
attached to the Naval Academy di-
vision here are local boys, as many
are transferred here from other
Naval Reserve units. because of the
opportunity provided to attend pre-
paratory schools. But the local unit
has always had a high percentage
of the total number of men Sc
lected.
When the present class entered
the Reserve to compete for the ap-
pointments, only so were allowed.
According to Naval Reserve Of
fcers those young men who are
seeking a naval career, as well as
technical education, and who
have no other means of getting
an appointment to the naval school,
should consider within short time
the desirability of enlisting in the
local Reserve battalion, as all can
didates for the class of 1912 must
have enlisted prior to July l in
order to comply with the years
service law.
Once enlisted in the Naval Re-
serve the men are subject to i'm

Reserve Officers :
Uniform Allowance
Escapes Taxation
Internal Revenue Ruling
Also Exempts Funds
For Equipment

Under a recent ruling of the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue, the al
lowances provided to officers of the
Officers Reserve Corps of the Army
for uniforms and equipment is not
subject to Federal income tax. A
considerable number of Reserve
officers are uncertain as to whether
the allowance by the United States
to officers of the officers Reserve
Corps under the act of May IA,
1910, for uniforms and equipment
Is taxable income to the recipient.
That act prescribes that officers of
the Officers Reserve Corps of the
Army shall be entitled to an allow
ance for uniforms and equipment
of $50 per annum upon completion,
in separate fiscal years, of each of
their first three periods of active
duty training of three months or
less, following their original ap-
pointment, during which periods
the uniform is required to be worn.
Commenting upon this subject, the
Internal Revenue Bureau, in hand
ing down a recent decision, made
the following observations:
THE War Department., Congress
and the courts have recognized a
distinction between pay and allow
ances. AS a result of the decision
in Clifford Jones VS.. United States,
allowances to Army officers for sub
sistence and quarters are not sub
ject to Federal income tax. The
allowance for uniforms and equip
ment in the instant case falls
within the same category as an
allowance for subsistence or quar-
tiers, inaSmuch as it is furnished not
as compensation, but to promote
the due performance of the officers
military duty.
1T is held, therefore, that the
allowance in question provided to
officers of the Officers Reserve
Corps of the Army for uniforms
and equipment is not subject to
Federal income tax"
