took the recent examination for the
eligible list for promotion by commits
sion whenever vacancies occur.
Pvt. Stephen T. RiSler has been
transferred from the reserve to the
active list of the 29th Division Military
Police Company.
Pvt. Louis b. Mckenzie has been
transferred from the active to the re-
serve list of the goth Division Military

ness interference with the performance
of military duty.
:" Pvt. (first class George L. Garland,
29th Military Police Company, has been
promoted to corporal.
The following members of Company
A, 372d Infantry, appeared before an
examination board, OF which Lieut.. Col
Charles B. Elliott Is president, to take
the examination to have their names
placed on the eligible list from which
selections will be made for promotion
to the commissioned ranks of the In
fantry; Sergt. oscar G. Blue, Corp.
Oscar j. Gay and Corp. Edward w.
Young.
The Coast Artillery Battalion, it was
announced by First Lieut.. Morris A.
Miller, now is conducting a recruiting
campaign in order to bring the batteries
up to their increased strength allow
ance, and also for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning sufficient men for the muster
ing of Battery E, the new machine gun
outfit, which has been authorized for
this unit. The recruiting headquarters
is located at the Artillery Armory,
Water and o streets southwest.
Some announcement in regard to
the prospects of obtaining a new build
ing for an Armory for the local Guard
may be expected after the first of jan
uary, Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, told
the officers and men of the 121st Regi-
ment of Engineers at an assembly held
in the Washington Auditorium last
Tuesday night when medals, trophies
and prizes were formally presented, as
the entire regiment was drawn up.
He said he could not divulge any
particulars of the matter at this time
as it might preclude the organization
getting the building which he was seek
ing for them. 1t was indicated, how
ever, that it might be a Government
building already erected, although the
general did say that he was looking
over several structures. He added that
he had interested Chairman Elliott of
the public buildings committee of the
House of Representatives in the plight
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-12-08

of the local Guard, and he expected
to obtain some aid from this oficial
in getting a building, better than the
old Government Hotel in which the
troops now are housed.
Although 1t is probable that legiSla-
ton might be introduced to make some
provision for an armory for the local
troops, it was indicated that if the
officials are successful in getting one
particular building which they are after
it would not involve the passage of
any authorizing legislation. There are
many angles being followed out by the
officials, who point out that the organi-
zation is so poorly housed now that
1t is virtually impossible to do any
drill work with the units. The present
building is divided up in to such small
rooms that only few men at q time
may get into the locker rooms to change
their clothes.
It was said, however, that some other
Government institutions are seeking the
building, which the Guard is after, but
there is hope that it will be awarded
to the latter. The Public Buildings
Commission is bound under the law to
provide quarters for the Guard, and it
is expected that it will be appealed to
if necessary to get better quarters for
the troops, some place where they may
have the same instruction during the
Winter months as they have during the
other months of the year when it is
possible to drill outside.
Praising the high morale and present
esprit de corps of the local Guard. Gen.
Stephan spoke to the officers and men
OF the Engineers, prior to presenting
the medals and trophies, some of which
were for the winners of the athletic
meet held in camp, some for continu-
GUS service and others for the recent
target matches held on the Guard
range at Camp Simms, Congress
Heights, D. c. The fact that the EN-
cheney OF the organization had increased

Increase in the appropriations for the
purpose of sending National Guard
officers to service schools, has been
recommended by the Militia Bureau.
1t was pointed out that the sum- of
1915, 900 was appropriated for this pur-
pose during the past year, while the
appropriation for next year is only
$317,500. decrease of $57,500. The
bureau says that it is regretted that
this will necessitate decrease in at
tendance at schools of approximately
so officers and enlisted men. The
popularity of the courses offered, it was
pointed out, is evidenced by the receipt
of from so per cent to rs per cent
more applications each year than can
be accommodated. Reports also indicate
marked benefits derived from having
officers and enlisted men who are
graduates of these courses enrolled in
organizations. The appropriation for
next year is said to be the least amount
authorized for school purposes since
1923, while the Guard personnel has
increased in the meantime about 10
per cent?

Deep Water Port Is
Urged to Lions Club

That Brownsville now has the
possibility Of a deep sea port, but
that the city Is SO situated, both
geographically and with reference
to trade relations with Mexico, as
TO warrant a port here was the
conclusion drawn from an address
made today noon to members Of
the Lions club by Judge II. l..
Yates.
Judge Yates took up the history
of the proposition Of a shipping
port for the Valley and brought
the matter down to an engineers
report approving q deep water port
at Brownsville. and with bonds Of
S2,O00,OO0 voted for a Brownsville
project. With the enormous ton
mage OF shipping from Mexico, es-
pecially minerals. the speaker de-
clared a port not only TO be feas-
ible. but an economic step, which
would not only benefit others, but
in the near future build a city,
ranking high among other Texas
cities.
Summing up the matter briefly
he said that shipping could be
done from Brownsville about $40 a
car cheaper than from Corpus
