which would necessitats the use OF
Saturday afternoon and evening In
making camp, and getting settled
down, with a possibility of leaving
some of the work over until Sunday.
There are many who believe that the
troop train would be more desira BILE
than by boat in the belief that 1t
would be less tiresome and the men
would be gotten into camp quicker.
and they would remain one more
night at home.
There is another feature which has
come up in connection with the nego-
tiations, and that is the possibility
that If the troops went down by boat
they would be unable to obtain the
vessel for a return movement at a
time needed. The Guard officials
have been informed by the boat COM
pany officials that the particular ves-
sci in mind is to be used by the local
Shrine for a trip to Norfolk at a time
when the troops plan the return
movement. This Is complication
which had not been figured on and
may bring out a contract for a move
ment both ways by train.

With enlistments on the increase
according TO reports of the officers of
the various units, 1t is probable now
that the engineer regiment will take
its full complement OF companies to
the annual encampment this month
Several Of the companies have been
under the minimum In strength and
special inspections have been ordered
but 1t Is believed now that they will
pass these inspections and that the
War Department recognition OF them
will be maintained. Withdrawal of
War Department recognition means
that these companies cannot go into
camp and receive pay as Federal
hard to avoid this, and at the same
time, in recruiting, retain the high
morale now in the organization.
Reserve officers who have been or
dered by the War Department to take
their annual field training with the
National Guard of the District of Co,
lumbia at Virginia Beach this month
have been given assignments in regi-
mental orders just published by Lieut.
Robert G. MacCartee, regimental ad.
jutant, by direction of Col Oehmann,
commanding the organization.
Maj. w. Laurence Hazard, 2715
