GUARDSMEN ANXIOUSLY
AWAIT THE PAYMASTER
Report Is the Members of Sd D. C..
Infantry Are Sorely in
Need of Money.

If paymaster of the United States
Army with a few thousand dollars to
spare happens by the camp of the Sd
Infantry, ~ G. d. c., at Fort Myer, Va,
he will receive warm reception. for
the District guardsmen are soreIy in
need of money. For several days they
have anxiously been awaiting the an
nouncement that the "ghost would
walk" and now they are wondering
just how long it will be before their
pay does reach them.
The already thinned ranks of the
regiment have been further depleted
by the assignment of number of n.n
to guard the cantonments being erect
ed at Fort Myer. Va. for use by the
members of the Officers Reserve Corps
during their period of instruction. A
guard is kept over the structures day
and night.
BY noon today no enlistments had
been received in the Sd Regiment it
was stated. At the recruiting station
at 1921 Pennsylvania avenue continu-
Gus picture show was in progress
again, with a view of inducing men to
enlist.
Troop A, N G. d. c., has opened a
recruiting station at 1928 street
northwest, and is making an effort to
obtain forty men to fill the vacancies
caused when a number of it's members
were discharged to accept omissions
in the Officers Reserve Corps.
