that Rear Admiral Lucius A. Bostwick,

Speculation continues with respect to
Rear Admiral william A. Moffett, chief
of the bureau of aeronautics, who will
complete his second four-year term as
chief of that bureau on March Is, 1929.
without question, the rapid development
of naval aeronautics to its present high
state of efficiency is largely due to Adj
miral Moffett, this accomplishment
being attested by several aeronautical
and other organizations who have been
urging the Secretary Of the Navy. to
recommend the appointment of Admiral
Moffett for third four-y term, which
he would be able to complete before
his retirement for age on October 81,
1888. In the event of his non-reap-
pointment and if he is not placed upon

| rent session of Congress to pass bill
authorizing the construction Of an
armory. 1t seems now that there is
little chance in the last-minute jam OF
dying legislature that there will be
any result. The National Guard Asso-
citation OF the United States has thrown
its power into the movement, under In
structions issued at the last convention,
but with little result. So 1t seems that
militia here, which started in 1908, must
add another unsuccessful year to Its eff
forts.
J It was pointed out that the local
Guard, being Federal organization and
the only one directly under the Presi-
dent of the United States. should have
| a suitable armory. The States, it was
added, are providing fine armories for
their citizen soldier organizations and
out Of State funds, yet the Federal Gov
eminent, which is looked upon at least
to set an example. has failed for more
than 20 years to provide building for
the local troops.
| Provision OF an adequate building
specially built for military training, It
was pointed out, would aid materially
not only in raising the esprit de corps
of the organization. but would result in
the organization of other units. There
are no recreational facilities for the
troops and there is nothing to encourage
them to make the armory a clubhouse
when they are not engaged in their
military duties. Close at hand In Mary
land that State has provided in several
small towns, excellent buildings espe-
cially constructed for the troops which
have facilities not only for military drill,
but have recreational facilities to at
tract the men.
The lack of such facilities here, in
| the opinion Of some, has been reSpon-
sible for poor drill attendance, as men
many times get tired of going each week
to drill when there is nothing to offer
them in the way of recreation at the
| conclusion OF their military duty. 1t is
estimated that a suitable structure can
be built for 100000 and that 1t could
be easily done on 100000 a year. How
ever, recommendations that this amount
be allowed have been turned down by
the District Commissioners and the Blu
reau OF the Budget. The failure of these
| officials and the bureau to lend their
support to the Guard, 1t is believed, has
been largely responsible for the failure
OF Congress to act.

ordereo discharged under an order
