According to the annual report OF
Mai Gen. Jesse Mel. Carter. chief OF
the militia bureau of the War De-
partment, the National Guard of the
District of Columbia. under federal
recognition. consists of two companies
of infantry, with twelve officers and
1913 enlisted men, of which strength
be says. eleven officers and 13S en-
listed men were present at the latest
inspection:
Reports o fthat inspection show. he
says, that the physical and other
qualifications of officers and enlisted
men are good; that the sufflciency,
condition and care of equipment IS
very good; that the suitability and
condition of armory is fair, and that
discipline, proficiency in target prac-
tice and general rating are fair. Com.
pany c has rating of very good
for compliance with regulations and
good for completeness of organ1za-
ton. morale and plans for moblliza-
ton. Company A, however, is rated
poor in the last named requirements
and only fair in condition. care OF
records and attendance at drills.

tered in obtaining recruits during the
year. Gen. Carter noted general pub
lie antipathy toward military service
and labor union antagonism,- as
among Influences retarding the reorJ
ganization of the guard. Discomfort
added. had been fostered by tales Of
unfair treatment during the war
"spread by men with grievances.
many Of which found their way into
the public press"
Such complaints. Gen. Carter sa i'd,
could not be substantiated upon in
vestigation. -:
There is conclusive proef," he con-
tinued. that National Guard officers
were not, as a class, Disseminated
against by regular officers. Individual
cases Of injustice have been cited by
members of Congress and of the Ma
tional Guard to make 1t appear that
unjust discrimination existed gem
orally AS general rule. National
Guard officers were treated with more
consideration than were regular on
GERS under the same conditions
The hostility generated by these
complaints has nearly disappeared.
