Announcement was made a week ago
that the National Guard of the District
of Columbia would not participate in the
volving the attack and defense Of New
York city. This announcement was sent
out from the division Of militia affairs
OF the War Department. and mentioned
all Of which depend on the appropriation
Of 81, $50. 600 for next summers maneu-
vers. No communication from the divi-
sion Of militia affairs on this subject has
been received at brigade headquarters.
according to Col. Smiley.
Just what the National Guard Of the
District Of Columbia win do for a camp
next summer Is not known, and. In fact.
has not been discussed to any great ex-
tent. The rigid property inspection and
stoned officers have been taking up the
time Of every one. and the talk OF sum-
mer plans has been showed forward to
April or May. after the range is opened
and well on its way.
However, there is growing fondness
in the brigade for the little camp of in
struction, where the aim is similar to
that Of the camp at Frederick, Nd Al
though this Is q maneuver year, many
officers are saying there 10 still q con-
siderable percentage OF green material in
the brigade, which would be seasoned
nicely by another elemental camp of in
struction. Just what the division Of
militia affairs has In mind for the brigade
il not known east Of 18th street north
west.
but can't you see some of them
0mcers Of the brigade wishin' to have
chanst . defend New York." said
