MANCHU ACT TAKES TWO MIL. SCI. MEN

Radical shifts in the teaching personnel of the Military Science Department for next year were announced last night by Colonel W. S. Browning, in charge of the Field Artillery Unit at the University. When the department enters on its sixth year at the University next fall, two of the present, instructors will leave Cambridge for active service and three new officers from the Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, will replace them on the teaching force at the University.

Captains Daniels and Perry To Go

The two men to leave Harvard are Captain W. R. Daniels, who has been conducting Military Science 3, a course on advanced gunnery and field tactics; and Captain B. H. Perry who has been teaching topography and gas engineering in Military Science 2. Both men leave Cambridge this year under the provisions of the "Manchu Act", a regulation of the War Department requiring every officer in the Regular Army to pass at least one year out of five in active service with enlisted troops. Captain Daniels has spent the last four years on the teaching staff of the University Unit, to which he was appointed in 1920, the year after the establishment of the unit at Harvard. Next year he will do service work at Fort Sill, Captain Perry has spent two years at Cambridge, and two years at the unit in Yale. His year of active service will take him to Camp Benning, Georgia, where he will be in command of a Field Artillery battery.

New Officers All West Pointers

The three new instructors are all graduates of the West Point Military Academy, who come to Harvard after a year of training in the most advanced forms of gunnery at the Fort Sill Field Artillery School.

Of the new instructors, the ranking officer is Major Louis A. Craig, who graduated from West Point in 1909. His first commission was as a second lieutenant in the cavalry. Later he was shifted to the coast artillery with the rank of major. During the war, he served with the field artillery, first as a captain, and later as a major. Major Craig is a brother of Brigadier General Malin Craig, newly appointed Chief of Cavalry, who won the Distinguished Service Medal for his service in France as corps chief of staff with the second army corps of the American Expeditionary Forces.

Captain John B. Wogan and Captain William Spence are the two new officers who will complete Colonel Browning's teaching staff next year. Both men graduated from the Military Academy in 1914. Since then, Captain Wogan has served with both the coast and the field artillery, acting as a major of field artillery, during the war. Captain Spence, like Major Craig, began his military career as a second lieutenant of cavalry, transfering later to the field artillery, in which department he ranked as a major in the recent war.
