REGULAR ARMY
IS PROGRESSING
WASHINGTON, July 29 (by Asso
ciated Press).—America’s military es
tablishment is being practically revo
lutionized under the terms of the new
army reorganization bill which became
♦ effective July 1. Army officers say
the work will not be completed for
some months because of the broad
scope of the measure passed at the
last session of congress to place the
land forces on a permanent peace
basis.
While the regular army will contain
only 295,000 officers and men scat
tered over the country and the insular
possessions, it will be so arranged in
conjunction with the national guard
and the reserve that rapid expansion
of the nation’s forces in time of emer
gency will be possible.
The national guard will have about
440,000 officers and men, but the
strength of the reserve has not yet
been worked out and will depend
largely on the enlistment of eligibles.
.^JfThe regular army reserve as it for
mprlv pvisfprl pnrrmnsprl nf fnrmpr pp
listed men furloughed to the reserve
to complete their enlistment period,
ceased to exist as such on July 1. In
its place there is established the en
listed reserve corps and the officers’
reserve corps. The members of the
-• former, except veterans of the world
war, are required to enlist for three
years. Veterans of the world war may
enlist for only one year.
The officers’ reserve corps is com
posed of officers who held temporary
or reserve commissions during the
war emergency and graduates of the
•student officers’ training school.
To accomplish the reorganization of
the national guard and the initial or
ganization of the reserve, the army
bill provides for a general committee
to be composed of regular army gen
eral staff officers and an equal num
ber of reserve or national guard offi
cers. In addition, 52 other commit
tees, representing each state and ter
ritory, will arrange the national guard
•organization in each state and terri
tory. Some of these committees have
T^pt been appointed by the governors
and consequently this work has not
y6t been put under way.
wmie nu mu piau ui ui gaiiiz,aLiuii
has been made public, a tentative plan
to be placed before the committees
would divide the country into nine
districts with an army corps in each.
This corps would consist of one regu
lar, one guard and- two reserve divi
sions, which theoretically would be
the only ones much below war
strength, could be filled up with selec
tive service men. A full quota of offi
cers drawn from the officers’ reserve
corps would be available for these
divisions at all times.
The new regular army strength pro
vides for approximately 17,000 com
missioned officers. To provide this
number about 7,000 reserve and tem
porary officers have been kept on
duty and it is the plan to reach the full
officer strength by commissioning
about 7,000 such officers and enlisted
men in the permanent army. Officers
-and men to be so commissioned will
be selected by a board, known as the
Pershing board, headed by General
•*——————————————
Pershing and including six other offi
cers.
The hill broadens the scope of the
reserve officers’ training corps at the
various educational institutions over
the country, provides instructors and
material for the schools and also au
thorizes summer camps to last six
weeks for advanced training of the
student officers. Graduates of the
training corps may be commissioned
in the organized reserve.
The reorganization measure further
provides that the head of the militia
bureau of the war department, which
under the reorganization has jurisdic
tion over national guard and reserve
affairs, shall be a national guard offi
cer not below the rank of major who
will receive the pay and allowances
and have the rank while on duty of
a major general in the army.
The offices of second and third as
sistant secretaries of war are abol
ished by the measure and their duties
absorbed by the assistant secretary of
war, who will be charged with the
procurement of all military supplies
and plans for mobilization of material
and industrial establishments needed
in time of war.
NAZIMOVA MAKES HIT
IN “OUT OF THE FOG”
“Out of the Fog,” in which the
great Nazimova is seen, will be re
peated tonight for the last time at
the Empress. It is a powerful and
intense story of the sea, dealing with
elemental human emotions and pas
sions. The play, which was adapted
for the screen for the stage drama
“ ’Ception Shoals,” created a furore
during its long New York run, and
brought Nazimova much of the fame
which she has attained as an actress
of supreme emotional parts.
The story has all the moods and
changes of the vast sea about which
it centers—storms and passions of
when the heavy and enshrouding fog
of despair rolls in to hide the hori
human tragedy, dull and cloudy days
zon. but which later is dispelled by
the blazing sunshine of romance and
love, which give a happy ending to
this gripping drama.
