given as 1914.
1t appears now that the 12lst Regi-
ment OF Engineers will have to take
its period of field training again this
wear at Fort Humphreys, Va, which
is an Engineer post. The Guard had
recommended to the War Department
that the organization this Summer be
sent again to Virginia Beach, Va, not
because any better training could be
obtained there. but it was deemed
desirable TO keep up the esprit in the
ganization 1t was believed that the
results of such a trip would more
than repay for the additional cost due
u transportation. 1t was recon-
mcnded that the organization be sent
there between July 81 and August IA.
However. in the face of this re-
quest the Militia Bureau of the War
Department has recommended that
the orga niZation be returned TO
Humphreys, but it was said at brigade
Headquarters that further efforts
would he made to get reConsidera-
ton ot this decision. 1t was pointed
out that the Engineer camp is too
close to the home station of the men,
ana that many OF them while in the
field like to get as far away from the
city as possible.
Officials of the local Guard express
themselves as disappointed over the
action OF the House committee on pub
lie buildings aud grounds in It's de-
ciSiOn not to report faVorably to the
House the bill which would provide
for the construction of an armory
for the local National Guard. There
was a hope that some start in that
direction might be made this year, as
it is realized that it will take four or
five years to actually get it after the
first constructive move is made.
The officials are now Analysing the

serve officers, the question has arisen
az to the desirability of retaining In
definitely in the inactive group those
officers who neither have had war
service nor have received requisite in
structlon during the period of their
commission. AS a rule, advantageous
use can be made Of the civil expert
ence of officers in the field grades
However, those below field grade are
not so readily adaptable for assign
ment, 50 it has been decided that the
best interests of the Reserve Corps
would be met if officers in the grades
of captain and lieutenant were not al
lowed to remain in the inactive group
for more than one five-year period, at
the conclusion of which they would be
ineligible for further commission UNI
less they had satisfied the require
ments which permitted their assign
ment to the active group.
The full effect OF the new policies
adopted by the War Department per-
tanning to the administration of the
Reserve Corps, which will become eff
fective January /, 1928, will not be felt
for number Of years. However, all
angles of these questions have been
considered, and the system which the
War Department has adopted will so
regulate promotions among Reserve
officers that stagration will not be so
apt TO occur again. Promotion in the
Reserve Corps will be subject TO the
same general restrictions which have
been found desirable for promotions
in the Regular Army. These general
restrictions may be summarized as
adequate experience in each grade. fit
ness as demonstrated by interest or
practice. theoretical preparation for an

fact that the local National Guard is
strictly a Federal organization, and
no part of the District government.
This, brought UP the matter as to
whether the District taxpayers should
pay any of the expense. In the
States the National Guard is directly
under the State government, which
can order 1t out at any time when
there is an emergency. The commits
sions of the officers are signed by the
governors, whereas the commissions
of the local officers are issued by au-
thority of the President of the United
States. The Attorney General of the
United States has ruled that the local
Guard is a Federal agency, and that it
is the duty of the Federal Government
to provide 1t with quarters.
In the event of an emergency here
beyond the powers Of the peace off
GERS to handle, and making II neCes-
sary to call on the local Guard for as
sistance, the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia could not order
it out. 1t would have to he done by
the President on a request especially
made to him. Some question arose at
the time of the first Ku KluX Khan pa
rade as to the authority to call them
to duty and keep them in readiness at
the armory for eventualities. While
they were called into service doubt
was expressed as to their authority to
act had an emergency occurred, the
officers and men being absolutely with
out authority, the President or War
Department not having ordered them
to duty.
However, it is quite certain that the
officials will continue their efforts to
convince members Of Congress of the
great need of an armory here to take
the place of the unsatisfactory quar-
tiers in the Government Hotels on the
Union Station Plaza. There is no
place for them to drill. and the Federal
property which is loaned to them is
under a daily hazard, and each report
of the Federal inspectors points this
out.
The following men of Company i,
l21st Engineers. have been ordered
transferred to the reserve list of the
same command on account of educa,
tional interference: Pvts. Ernest II.
Aschenbach, Richard Il. Jones and

and Isidor II. Dunn, now on the active
