Want, Patriotic 'Den'ionstrations

WASHINGTON, June ‘J (.\P).-—-—:
Directions to corps area command-
ers that patriotic demonstrations be
made the main feature of Muster
Day ceremonies July «i are contain-
cd in n. Coniprehensiw circular of
instructions sent out by the War
Department to the nine urea cont-
manders.
The commanders are directed to
confer with state and municipal
authorities and local committees in
order to assist. .in every way in ur-
ranging the demonstrations.
As was the case in the original
defense tcst last year, details of the
muster and of the patriotic cclc-
bratlous are left entirely to the lo-
cal communities. 'l‘ho regular
army personnel is under instruc-
tions. however, lo"’give the impetus
and direction necessary to insure a
successful defense test."
A new feature is the instruction
to army personnel to seek the ap.
pointment of local muster commit-
tee through the cooperation of civ-
ilian authorities. the committees to
“represent the state and local agen-
cies which would be used in pro-
curement under either a. voluntary
or selective service system," to the
melt to tlll up the ranks of the vari-
ous components of the army of the
l'nited States assigned to each lo-
entity.
"The functions in this respect
should be. demonstrated in each
community by titling the ranks of
the organizations stationed in that
vicinity, the personnel for which
may be secured through invitations
to civilians of military age to serve
voluntarily with specitlcd units only
during their participation in par-
ades and patriotic demonStrzttions,”
the orders state.
To emphasize the civilian char-
acter of tho muster, corps urea
commanders are directed to present
their ideas as suggestions and re-
comlnendatlous to the muster com-
mittees and local political officials.
