TO EXPLAIN DEFENSE
UNIT FOR DISTRICT
Col. J. A. Dapray to Appear Before
Chamber of Commerce at De-
cember Meeting.

Col. ]. A. Dapray, adjutant general
of the District of Columbia, and or
ganizer of the new District National
Guard unit, will appear before the De-
cember meeting Of the Chamber Of
Commerce to explain in detail his plan
for the perfection OF the new unit as
an element of defense for the National
Capital In a recent letter to the Cham
Der of Commerce. Col. Dapray asked
the cooperation of both the Chamber
of Commerce and the Washington
Board Of Trade in the organization Of
the new unit He said:
This question of providing a proper
local defense In the city of Washington
is, in my opinion. one of pre-eminent
Importance at this particular time
Congress has made generous appropria-
tions. the War Department has made
ample al1otments and the statutory
laws provide many advantages and
benefits to accrue to the National Guard.
Bills are now pending in Congress for
the construction Of a new National
Guard armory for the District OF Co
lumbia. and it has been said that there
is fair prospect that the later bill on
this subject. introduced toward the
close of the special session. will be
taken up and favorably considered
early in the next regular session.
But is it reasonable to expect that
Congress will provide an armory, or
that Congress will even continue its
annual appropriations, If there is not
discoverable some live local interest in
the organization of the new National
Guard units which the War Depart
ment, under the law. has authorized
and approved? l have been holding
meetings and doing all that was pos
sible to arouse interest. and 1 believe
that, with the active cooperation of
the Washington Chamber of Commerce
and the Washington Board of Trade, l
can secure the desired results.
'Of course, it is gratifying to have
expressions of sympathy and offers of
cooperation from both the Board OF
but something more than mere express
sions of sympathy and offers of CO.
operation will be necessary.
"In all parts of the United States, in
nearly all of the larger cities and in
many of the smaller ones, action look
ing to the formation of local defense
organizations has long ago been taken.
But here in Washington, the federal
capital of the Union, where the inter
ests involved are so much more vital
than anywhere else in the United
States. practically nothing has been
done to secure lawful action, or to Sc
cure the passage of laws that will al
low lawful action to be taken. In
every state, or nearly every state. the
state legislature concerned has passed
a law providing for home guards. or
home defense leagues of some kind
Congress is the local legislature for
the District of Columbia. and Congress
has not yet passed. nor has it been
asked to pass, SO far as 1 know. any
legislation on this subject. Meanwhile.
however. the only law that permits the
formation of military organizations is
the National Guard law which Con-
gress has passed and under which the
War Department would authorize and
approve Of additional National Guard
units"
