tions the reserve army dinner his eyes
sparkle more than ever, and Washing- :
ton is about equally divided in opinion '
as to whether the dinner will ever
come off.
At first there was a general impres-
sion that Mr. Gardner in some subtle
way was trying to “kid” the war de-
partment and that the war department
resented the attempt. If this was
true the department has had a sudden
change of heart, for inquiries concern-
ing the reserve army, its origin, num-
ber. location. ete.. have been answered
with the greatest good will.
Recently it has developed that the
reserve army once consisted of seven-
teen men, but last year a reservist
was dropped at his own request to en-
able him to join the navy.
Authority for the creation of a re-
serve army was given in the 1912
army appropriation act, and the pro-
vision became effective Nov. 1, 1912.
From that time on the war @epart-
ment raised its enlistment periods
from four years to seven, and it was
provided in each enlistment contract
that the soldier serve four years with
the colors and the remaining three
years on reserve, subject to call in
event of war.
This is the invitation that Mr. Gard-
ner sent to each member of the re-
serve army:
“My Dear Sir—I am contemplating :
inviting the members of the reserve
army of the United States to be m)
guests at a dinner in Washington, and
s0 to have the pleasure of meeting
each one in person, and I write to ask |
whether it is likely that you could be
present.
“If your engagements are such as
to make it impossible for you to be
in Washington at that time I would
appreciate it if you would send me
a short sketch of yourself and your
gervice in the army. together with a
photograph.
“I hope. however, that you will be
able to be present and that the dinner
may be made an informal little re-
union of the reserve army.”
