District National Guard

Selection of an adjutant general to
replace the late Brig. Gen. Lloyd M.
Brett. U. S. A, retired. is one of the
big jobs facing the officers of the
National Guard of the District OF
columbia, and members Of the organi.
zation point out that 1t will be diff
cult task to obtain for the Guard an
officer who held the confidence and
high regard of every officer and man,
as did Gen. Brett.
The law provides for the assign
ment of an Army officer in this de-
tail, and up to the time of the World
War an officer on the active list has
been assigned here, but since the war
il has been the detail of an officer
from the Armys retired list. Gen.
Brett served the National Guard be-
fore the war as adjutant general. and
when he retired and selected Wash
ington as his home he was prevailed
upon to take the assignment again,
and the officers considered themselves
fortunate in being able to receive his
counsel.
Already there have been a number
of inquiries from Army retired officers
seeking the appointment to this posi-
ton, but it Is believed there will be no
hurry In making the selection, In order
that an effort may be made to obtain
an officer who will carry on where
Gen. Brett left off.
As soon as the selection is made,
Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, command
ing the local militia, will make his
desires known to the War Depart
ment, and there is little doubt that
his choice will be followed.
Praise for the work of the 121st
Regiment of Engineers is contained in
letter which Maj. Gen. Greed G..
Hammond, chief of the militia bureau
of the War Department., sent to Col.
John w. Oehmann. commanding the
121st Regiment of Engineers, and
which the latter has forwarded to
brigade headquarters.
Speaking of his visit to Fort
Humphreys, Va, during the period
that the Engineer regiment was In
training there, Gen. Hammond said:
II greatly enjoyed all of the official
and social functions given. 1t was a
real pleasure to meet your officers.
and particularly to note the splendid
cooperate ton between yourself and the
help is very complimentary to you and
the commanding officer at the post.
1T was most gratifying to see the
great interest displayed by Commits
sioners Taliaferro and Ladue in your
command. I was deeply impressed
by the very fine showing made by
your regiment In the review, which
was exceedingly we'll done, and par
ticularly In their field work of bridge
construction. trench fortif1cations. and
also in the excellent discipline and
conduct of the troops, your regiment

Is enough praise due to reflect It on
down to your newest recruit, because
their loyalty and attention to duty
made this possible"

the examination, and it was said to be
probable that there will be several

Guard, there is a possibility that two

will be selected to take the entrance
examinations, as the War Department
has established the policy Of assigning
appointments to organizations from
those allotments not used by other
States. The local Guard has always
been successful in getting more than
its quota.
