officer would be commissioned as
second lieutenants in the marine
corps reserve and given an addi

Six Additional Months.
Of these officers, those who are
again recommended would be re

for an additional six months, with
possible extension if circumstances
so warrant. On completion of this
duty the officer would continue in
the reserve in an inactive status.

York City came the praise: "One
listened with delight to perform
