General orders have been issued by
District Of Columbia militia headquarters
directing regimental and separate organ
ization commanders and heads of stan
departments to submit to headquarters by
noon Saturday, June 4, as close estimate
as possible OF attendance at annual camp.
which will be from July 1s to 81, both
dates inclusive. giving names Of officers
and number of enlisted men.
Company commanders should submit
their estimates in duplicate to regimental
and LIST Separate Battalion headquarters
as soon as possible, SO that consolidated
estimate for regiments and 1st Separate
Battalion may reach these headquarters
by June t. Any changes in these esti-
mates should be Immediately reported to
regimental and LIST Separate Battalion
headquarters as a revised estimate VIII
be called for shortly before camp.
No enlisted man will be taken to camp
whose enlistment expires during the camp
period unless he files with his company
commander a written statement that ne
intends to re-enlist Immediately upon eX-
piration of his enlistment. In case of
men whose enlistments expire Immediate
ly before the camp period, or of men
whose enlistments expire during camp
period and who do not re-enlist, their
property will be turned in before their
command goes to camp and their dis
charges prepared In ample time to be de-
livered to them or will be sent them by
registered mall.
Every officer and enlisted man should
apply now to his employer or other proper
authority for permission to attend the
camp. Officers and enlisted men should
apply to proper authority for permission
to attend any ordered military duty inn
mediately upon notice of the duty. in or
der that arrangements can be made for
said attendance.
1t has come to the attention OF District
of Columbia militia headquarters that
certain members OF an organizat ton or
dered to duty on the target range did not
apply for permission to attend this duty
until the day before said duty, although
the target practice order was published
over month prior to their duty On the
target range.
This showed negligence on the part of
these men and was manifestly unfair to
their employer, who could not, on one
days notice, provide men to take their
places.
