and drills of his units. This would
not he practicable under the proposed
system which may be forced on the
organization, ard will not work to the
best interests of building up an ef
ficient military organization.
There are many who take the stand
that the conditions should not be al
lowed to reach the point where the
young men who are giving of their
time and energy in training them
selves as warriors should have to pay
anything toward an Harmory for them
selves. and there is the hope that Con-
Gress will make some provision for an
armory at the current session.
1t also has been suggested. that there
are sHall halls in various sections of
the city which might be hired for
drill purposes, and houses nearby be
rented in which the units could store
their clothing and equipment. But
this does not result in improvement
of efficiency which would sceme- if all
units were housed under one roof. At
the present time the local organiza-
ton does not have a drill hall large
enough to drill battalion in close
formation even. In good weather they
may drill on New York avenue be
tween Fifth and Sixth tsreets.
Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan. command

effort to have provision. for public
armory made. He sought aid from the
District Commissioners and the Bud.
get Bureau, but both so far have
frowned on it, as did also Senator
Reed Smoot, chairman of the public
buildings commission. who refused to
permit provision for an armory to go
in the public Buildings bill.
Another effort will be made to get
the commissioners to make a special
recommendation to Congress. and the
seriousness of the situation will. be
pointed out to them. AS the situa-
ton now stands, the owners of the
present building occupied by the local
militia have refused to renew the
present lease, which expires on June
80, next. Efforts of the guard Of
tiCialS and representatives of the pub

building already erected which would
be suitable, not only for drills. but
also house the expensive equipment,
have failed. as also have efforts to
have local builders TO put up build.

the rental allowance provided by Con
GreSS.
The current budget which was
presented to Congress last week failed
to provide any increase in the amount
allowed for armory rent, although a

very slight increase was allowed for
the general expenses of the guard.
Even If provision Is made by Con-
gress at this session for the prompt
erection of an armory, 1t will take q
long time, and some provision must
be made for the troops during the
interim between the date when they
must vacate the present building and
the time a new building might be
which might lead to the getting OF a
home for the local troops has been
seized upon, but at some time during
the negotiations has broken, and left
the guard in its present state.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of equipment is assigned by the
War Department to the local troops
for use in their training in the armory
and in the field, and this must be
protected. Should it be found that
there is not proper storage place for
it, the War Department could with
draw it and leave the local troops
without it.
Local civic bodies and patriotic or
ganiZationS are strongly behind the
movement to obtain a new armory for
the local troops, and it is one of the
local projects on which there seems
to be unity. The citizens and the
organizations are willing that the Dis
trict of Columbia should bear its share
of the expense of construction, but
even with this there does not seem
to be a disposition in Congress to pro-
vide for the local troops.
Those having the armory project
in hand are not asking for an elab-
crate building, but just "a place for the
troops to work and store their prop
erty 1t may be simple in design and
the limit of cost may be fixed low
enough to provide only the necessities.
The principal organizations affected
by the l. street armory situation are
the l2lst Regiment of Engineers, Col.
John w. Oehmann comman nding. the
largest unit, and the 29th Military
Police Company, as well as the head
quarters of the local guard and the
29th National Guard Division. The
260th Coast Artillery is fairly we'll

il now occupies the armory on the

The inability of the officials of the

armory for the organization where it

led to many suggestions for keeping

they may drill and train for service

one that each unit be allotted Il por-
