young people of the city as events out of
the ordinary. The demands for its invi-
tations are so pressing that they have to
be limited i'll number. The quarters Of
this company in the National Guard Ar
mory are one OF the handsomeSt ever used
by a military company. The organization
is provided with the United States regu-
lation dress and service uniforms and has
a distinctive uniform made up OF white
coat, trimmed in blue and gold; light blue
trousers. white stripe. and blue helmet
with flowing white plume.
The company has always been a leader
in athletics in the National Guard of the
District of Columbia. The Athletic AS
ISOLATION of the National Guard was
originated and organized by the Corcoran
Cadet Corps, which voted 5000 out of
its treasury in 1896 to establish the first
gymnasium in the old National Guard
Ar!aory at 9Th and L streets. The money
was afterward refunded by Gen. Ordway
and the association became a part of the
National Guard. Capt. Edwards was de-
tailed to take charge of the work.
In recent years the members Of the
company have practically swept the
boards In the athletic meets. and their
basket ball team which in 1904 1905 and
1905 won the championship of the south,
mas always been regarded as one of the
best IN the eastern part of the United
states. For the purpose OF distinguish
ing its members from other members of
the National Guard. the company has a
very pretty pin which is worn by the men
when in citizen dress. like a school pin.
1t is of diamond shape, With blue and
white enamel, and the name .Corcoran'
in the center.
The success of this organization it is
declared should form an argument for

Aside from the service medals which

under discussion and the one that finds
the most favor Is to carry to conclusion
the original ideas Of NJ. Alphand.
The Champs now traverses from the
heart of the city six miles out of the
suburban district to what is known as
the Heights of Neuiliy.
This is felt not to be length enough.
Therefore the plan is to take the avenue
right straight on out for a total of
twenty kilometers, out to the forests of
ST. Germain.
To make these improvements possible
is not a matter of speed. The plan is to
cut absolutely straight. and in the proc
ess many beautiful mansions will have to
be torn down. public buildings will be in
volved in the destruction, and a host of
interests public and private, will be
countered
But difficulties of this kind are never
permitted to be any permanent obstacle
to the march of public improvements in
France
When Napoleon III built the Grand
Opera House he encountered the same
kind of difficulties. He had the plans
for his house, the most beautiful devoted

Its whole length is bordered with res

fairs where the guests sit on the outside

There are also many theaters along

noted is undoubtedly the MariSny
In fact every phase of the varied HUI
man life that makes Paris q city of such
absorbing interest to visitors from the
new world is reflected in this wonderful
avenue.
Many perhaps would prefer to leave it
in its present condition and defer to SEN
timent by avoiding any changes, but there
are reasons why this is not possible. The
Champs has become congested. The arts
tic sense Of this most artistic of cities
has become outraged at the constant
crowding of what is designed to be the
worlds greatest pleasure street. Hence
the movement to get more room.
Plans for improving the street are now

Cavalry. formerly lieutenant colonel and
adjutant general, District Of Columbia
Militia. at the annual inspection February
> 1908. in his report on the Corcoran
Cadets Corps said:
This is one Of the best National Guard
companies that ! have seen. The captain
has the secret of so combining the mill
tary and athletic work with social rela-
desirable men. who are interested and
painstakins. The captain is assisted by
two able lieutenants. The percentage of
attendance at all military duty is high.
The tone of the organization is high and
commands the respect of all superior
officers and the community at large The
company is to be relied upon in any
emergency"

Edward Munck passed away. The body
buried with military honors by the
company. On the death of Cen Ord

turned out with full ranks at the funeral.
Early in 1898, when the country was in
an uproar over the destruction of the
C.S.S. Maine at Havana. Cuba. which was
followed by the declaration of war with
Spain. the company received orders to
be mustered into service, reported with
every member in line, and marched UP the
hill to the Georgetown reservoir and down
again, April % 1898.
Upon the organization of the 1st Dis
trict of Columbia Volunteers out of forty

j. 1899. the company was represented in
the column. A monument was erected by
the company. May so, 1909, to Private
Harry Putsche.
What is considered one of the greatest
events in the history of the company
was the presentation to ii Of silk Amer
lean flag. October "a, 1900, by the ladies'
of Washington. Early In 1901 the COM
pany had so many members who had
served more than five years it was de-
cided to give service medals-a medal and
lar for the first three years and a bar for
each three years thereafter to be added.
