Senate 10 GET Names
For Regular Army
Commissions Soon
200 Appointments
As Second Lieutenunts
Likely to Be Made

1t Is expected that the Selection
Board meeting at the War Depart
ment to consider the examination
papers of applicants for commissions
in the promotion list branches OF
the Regular Army will have COM
pleted its work this week end The
nominations should be received by
the Senate for approval by the mid
die of September. 1t is understood
that approximately 200 Regular
Army appointments as second lieu
tenants will be made. Many of them
are reserve officers seeking commits
sions In the regular military estab-
lishment.
In the case of those who hold
higher grades in the Army of the
United States, they will be continued
in such grades upon appointment.
The establishment of this policy will
mean, it is pointed out, that there
will be no loss of pay or rank during
the war due to the acceptance of an
appointment in the Regular Army.
In other words, reserve first lieu-
as second lieutenant in his branch
of the Regular Army, but he would
retain his first lieutenant's commits
sion in the Army of the United
States.
Action ON the amendment to the
pay Act of 1912, which would permit
Officers of the National Guard and
Reserve officers to count inactive
duty as well as active duty for ad-
vancement in pay grade. was de-
layed last week as the War Depart
ment prepared to amend the bill to
correct other inequalities.
In this connection, it was stated
that retired officers, recalled to &C
tive duty, are not permitted to count
service on the retired list for such
purposes, yet they are just as much
a part of the nations reserve officer
power as Reserve officers or Ma
tional Guard officers Also, there
is considerable agitation to permit
Regular Army officers to count all
reserve service for promotion and
longevity purposes.
The War Department, 1t is UNDER
stood, is conidering both these pro-
posels. However, a new angle will
come into the picture if and when
the bill ever passes the Senate and
reaches the House Military Affairs
Committee. There Is considerable
sentiment on that committee for
permitting enlisted men who have
been promoted to commissioned rank
to count enlisted service for longev-
ity and pay period advancement.
This question came up when the Pay
Act was before the committee and
in the furry of pressure and cross
pressure that attended the passage
of the bill slipped from sight, but
not from the minds of number of
committee members, notably Repre-
sentatives Sparkman of Alabama
and Kilday of Texas.
Undoubtedly, either or both of
these members of the committee will
ask that the bill be amended to per-
NIT enlisted men of the Army, who
are promoted to commissioned rank.
to count their enlisted service for
longevity. On the face of it, there
does not appear to be much justi-
f1cation for not doing this, and un-
less the War Department can pre-
sent very strong argument against
1t. the bill may well provide such
a benefit for men commissioned
from the ranks.
