NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Families of
all the officers enrolled in the United
States reserve corps have been In-1
vited to see to it that as many of
them as possible be made members of
the society of American officers be
fore they are sent to serve with the
i American Army in France. These of
ficers include the men who were
trained in and received their com
missions from such camps as those at
Plattsburg, N. Y. and at other points.
In a statement issued today by the
society of American officers, the fam
ilies of all the officers of the Reserve
corps are invited to send in applica
tions in behalf of their officers, giving
their full names, addresses and the
branch of the service in which they'
are commissioned. The announce-1
ment is made that “any officer who
**- - ■ . . - .. ....
has been commissioned by a atate or
the federal government is eligible for
membership which he retains for life
unless dishonorably discharged or
convicted of a felony.
“This society," the statement says,
“founded upon lines closely following
that of the celebrated society of the
Cincinnati of Washington’s day, un
dertake to keep a likeness of every
member and a subsequent running
record both of his origin, his exper
ience and his military career for the
balance of this life.
"The society is a purely patriotic
one. its entrance fee is but three dol
lars and its dues are only one dollar
yearly. The one additional item of
expense is eighty cents for the little
bronze button, which serves as an iden
tification tag to be sent back to his
family or the society from the battle
field by his brother officer.”
It is suggested by the society that
the young officers should not be re
quired to add the cost of membership
to that of their uniform and equip-:
ment. “Yet,” the statement adds,'
“we doubt if there is a parent or a
wife, or a sister or a sweetheart in I
America who would not be glad to
know' that the young officer was
watched over and guarded by such an ^
organization and its members and, if i
lost, that the little emblem was like- j
ly to come back to them with the
brief word from some broher mem
ber in arms.” I
The president of the society of Am-1
erican officers is Brigadier General
Oliver B. Bridgman, of the army and
navy club. New' York City; Its sec
retary, Colonel Thomas Denny, 30
Pine Street, New York; its treasurer.
