What might be termed "house-clean-
ing" preparatory to the annual inspec-
ton and muster of the Guard goes on
apace. The company commanders are
making strenuous efforts to have or
dered the discharges of all members of
their companies who do not attend
drills regularly or take a proper inter-
est in the affairs of the respective COM
mands. The first inspection will be that
of the general staff tomorrow night.
Then next week one battalion viii be
inspected nearly every night until the
entire task is completed. 1t is expected
that the showing this year will be a
great Improvement over that of last
year.
The location of the camp this summer
is still a matter of general conjecture
and gossip. No official announcement
has been made regarding the matter,
but one is looked for some time during
the coming week. Several sites are
Under consideration, but their qualifica- |
tons have not yet been fully ascer- |
tanned. Many of the Guardsmen ex-
press a preference for camp site near |
he city. This would enable the friends
and relatives of the citizen soldiery to |
7isit them while they were getting their
aste Of actual service in the form of |
modern camp life.
On the other hand, a number of The
Ulcers regard proximity to Washington
Is menace to discipline. They ex-
,ress the opinion that whenever the sol
iiers get pass that carries them be-
-ond the line they viii be inclined to
axe car for Washington and spend
heir brief leave of absence here instead
f in camp.
The members of the naval battalion
re beginning to look forward to their
nnuaI summer cruise, the date of
which has not yet been fixed. At pres
mt there is little idIeness in this di-
-ision Of the Guard, however The
FERN, which lies at the navy yard. is in
rst rate shape, and all ready for in
pection. a series of smokers have
zen inaugurated by the members of
he battalion. They win occur every
yo weeks aboard the Fern. Last night
pleasant entertainment was given on
he ship. A large number of the blue
ackets brought their sweethearts and
yves with them.
