The small number of men on the
local roster has caused some discus
sion among the officers as to the ad-
visibility of starting a recruiting cam
paign in the Spring to bring the or
ganiZation up to a stable strength.
The members of the local outfit have
dwindled consistently since the war,
and the officers are anxious to enthuse
new blood into the organization and
to encourage the youth of the city to
enlist in the Reserve and train them
selves for service in time of war.
In the event that a recruiting cam
paign is decided upon, it was believed
that weekend cruises aboard their
training ship, the L. S. destroyer
Allen, should be instituted, for the
double purpose of giving the recruits
some preliminary training previous to
annual cruises, and also as an attrac-
ton to new men.

District National Guard

The matter of whether the 121s'
Regiment Of Engineers will occupy
tents or barracks during the training
period at Fort Humphreys, Va, nex1
Summer will be settled at a confer
ence to be held between Col. John w
Oehmann, commanding the local En-
gineer regiment, and Col. Markham
commanding the post at Fort Hum
phreys. Those familiar with condi
lions at Humphreys, however, pointed
out that 1t would be much more sat
isfactory for the troops to occupy the
barracks II they could be made habit
able. Another difficulty at this post
also is that it has only small parade
ground and to put a regiment of
troops out there would leave little
place for drills and ceremonies.
1t was learned on good authority,
however, that the barracks undoubted-
ly would be put in habitable shape,
and would be ready for the guard
when 1t arrived. 1t is understood to
be the plan to fit the unoccupied bar
racks for the reception of the reserve
and citizens military training units
which will precede the guard to the
post, and that there will be little wofk
to be done on them when the guard ar
rives.
Those familiar with the post say
that 1t will be manifestly better for
the troops to use barracks because of
the conditions prevailing at Hum
phreys, particularly the small cleared
space which might be used for camp
ing purposes. However, the matter
is one for adjustment between the post
commander and the local regimental
commander.
