grateful ! am for this assistance,
which feel sure will prove most
valuable to me in the future

Maj. Edward L. Webster. Of the Sec
ond Separate Battalion, n. G. D. c.,
said yesterday. The object Of the re-
organization Of the National Guard Of
the District is for the purpose Of pro-
vbding q force competent to afford
adequate protection to the National
Capital, in case of need, during the
period OF the war. The advantage
to be gained from enlistment and SER
vice in the Guard are numerous. In
return for the small amount of time
he 10 required to give a member re-
cefves such military instruction and
training as will render him useful
In the defense Of his home, and IL he
Be Of draft age and should be called
his chances for promotion in the army
are increased tenfold by the military
knowledge gained as a National
Guardsman. Those in charge of drills
have had many years of experience
and they are willing and ready to give
their time as instructors. A man not
now In the army can do nothing bet
ter than to enlist in the National
Guard Let him do his bit here so
that the boys over there may the
sooner accomplish their task.
The Second Separate Battalion Is
making fine progress, There are now
about $50 men enrolled. over forty OF
whom have enlisted for six years or
during the period OF the war"
Private Fitzhugh, OF Company B,
Second Separate Battalion, has been
called to Camp Meade. He stated be-
tore leaving that he expects the
lime spent in the National Guard will
b Of benefit to him.
Mai Edw. L Webster. of the Second
Separate Battalion. has established
. school for ofncers. The company
cemmanders will soon have schools
