|, nothing of putting them through the
various PAGES known to the soldiers
and which require great amount of
space.
With the 121st Engineers making
such headway in training as they
have in the past. officers are conf
dent that with the provision of an
armory which the guardsmeu may
use for social as well as drill pur-
poses. that 1t will grow far beyond
the limit set on strength by the War
Department. Already Gen. Stephan
has asked for the assignment of sew
eral additional medical companies to
the Guard, and it is probable that
these will be. organized during the
coming year. necessitating the addi-
ton of much space. AS it is now, the
units of the Guard are scattered all
over the city, making 1t difficult to
direct them from an administrative
standpoint. The Coast Artillery is
using the old armory formerly occu-
pied by the Naval Militia when it
was under the Guard, and in addition
has erected a large sheet steel build
ing to house the tractors and big
field guns. This unit has asked for
much additional space, needed for its
equipment.
There seems to be some difference
of opinion regarding the provision OF
funds for such an armory. A special
committee of citizens and patriotic
organizations formed to work for an
armory for the Guard and a meeting
place for the patriotic organizations
urged that 1t be provided on the 60-4O
plan of payment, in the same manner
that the Districts expenses We're for
merly divided. This was once ac-
ceptable to the District authorities,
but who seem now to have turned
around and want the Federal Govern
ment to provide the whole fund.
There is hope that il may be included
in the proposed public buildings bill
which it is intended to be introduced
al the coming session of Congress.

mory. and is doing everything posi-

Frank Lockhead of the Militia Bu-
reau of the War Department, and
formerly a member of the District
National Guard. with the facts, and
Capt. Lockhead will stress this point

hope that the strength of this branch
of the Government will be given to
the Guard in it's efforts to bring into
reality the armory for which it has
worked incessantly for years

score of years now the Guard has been
working to have an armory befittino
the National Guard of the National
Capital. Plans have been prepared for
one armory but Congress never ap-
propriated the money for carrying them
into erect. These plans provide for an
elaborate structure, but the modern
guardsmen are not so much inter
ested in having a gigantic building
as they are to have structure which
while pleasing to the eye and in keep
ing with other public buildings Of the
National Capital. will be suited to the
purpose of training citizens to be good
soldiers for the protection of their
country in time of war
The War Department isNfully cog
infant of the handicap under which
the District Guardsmen are working
and are constantly urging better ia
cilities and. what is more important,
better storage places for the thou
sands of dollars worth of valuable
equipment which is issued to them.
Much more of. this equipment could
be readily obtained if it were possible
for the units of the Guard to preserve
it. They need it in their training and
are anxious to get it, drill with it and
take care of it, but they are fully
cogniZant of the lack of storage space.
In conjunction with the dilapidated
and unsuitable rented armory now
occupied by the guard at 472 l. street
northwest, they have been allowed
the use of Convention Hall on such
nights as it is not rented for other
purposes for drills. But this now
has been sold. and the guardsmen
will be forced to take their drills out
on the street. The company quar-
ters are so small that it is difficult
even to line UP a company, to say
