Visit to Georgetown.
Two portables adjoining the Fillmore
School at Thirty-f1fth and T streets in
GEORGETOWN were the last of the IS one
room frame buildings to come under
scrutiny of the inspecting engineers.
Their examination was preceded by in
spection of the portables at the Pet
worth School, where probably the worst
conditions discovered during the entire
week were found.
The supporting posts at the north end
Of one of the Petworth portableS was
little more than pith when recent re-
pairs were made. New posts had been
placed by the repair shop against the
badly rotted and worm-eaten timbers
in an effort to squeeze few years more
of service out of the structure.
Post Found Hanging.
At the other end of the building Mr..
Marsh discovered conditions approach
ing those met by the repair shop force
when he seized pick and ripped of
the wood which covered the supporting
timbers and. theoretically. keeps cold
air from beneath the buildings floor.
A few prods of the engineers pick dis
closed that that post, which should be
carrying the weight of the building, &C
tually was hanging from the building
with nothing but the damp powder that
was rotted wood between it and the
ground.
Sectors of the sectional walls were
badly bulged from the drying out Of
the framing timbers in portableS at
both the Fillmore and the Petworth
Schools.

CAVALRY TRAINEES
HEAR PLEA OF DUTY
Dr.. Rankin, Georgetown University
Dean, Addresses Camp at
Fort Myer.

c. M. T. c. cavalry trainees at Fort
Myer had their civic pride stirred yes
terday by Rev. DR.. Rush Rankin, dean
of Georgetown University, who ad-
dressed the camp on the duties oil
American citizenship, with reference tn
the Nations desire for peace.
The theme of Father Rankin'S ad-
dress was that q country'S best guar
antee of peace is mental, moral and
physical preparedness for war in case
such an emergency should ever arise.
He stressed the duty Of American youth
to train themselves in the qualities
which constitute true manhood and
true patriotism. The United States, the
dean explained, Graves peace. 1t has
never throughout its history gone tc
war for aggression or in an unjust
cause But the surest way to make GER
tain that Americans will never have tC
fight another war is for them to be
ready in body, in mind and IN spirit to
repel any invasion of the Unions rights
The spirit bred In Citizens Military
Training Camps. Father Rankin said
is such as to inculcate high-minded
civic ideals in the young men OF the
United States. The training they get In
camp teaches them more than Their
duty In war. It educateS them in the
obligations imposed upon them in civil
life. It teaches the mbrotherly love
comradeship, clean living, healthful
habits and tolerance. DR.. Rankin point
ed out to the Citizens Military Training
Camp traineeS the benefits Of co-opera-
ton in the development of these Ameri-
can virtues, in comparison to the fall
ures Of Socialistic and CommuniStic So
cieties since the earliest stages of human
history.
Father Rankin was the chaplain Of
the 47th United States Infantry. 4tf

GEN. LEJEUNE ENDS
MARINE SERVICE
Former Commandment Of
Corps Closes As Years of
IIlustrious Duty Today.

Mai. Gen. John A. Lejeune, famous
commander of famous fighting unit
is spending his last full day with the
United States Marines today.
The former commandant Of the corps
today is closing out an Dlustrious career
that spans As years with the Marine
Corps.
Maj. Gen. Wendell c. Neville, COM
mandant of the Marine Corps, in official
orders for retirement given yesterday to
Gen. Lejeune, termed him "the out
standing and most distinguished Marine
officer of his time" Secretary Adams
signed the order yesterday that will per-
NIT Gen. Lejeune to retire from the
Marine Corps on November IL. AS Gen
Lejeune has accrued leave coming to
him, he will leave Washington on Mon
day to assume his new post as superin-
tendent of Virginia Military Institute at
Lexington, Va, pending the date Of his
retirement.
To Confer on Budget.
Gen. Lejeune said yesterday that on
July "a he will go to Richmond, Va,
with the board of visitors and confer
with Gov. Harry F. Byrd on the budget
for Virginia Military Institute. The
school will open on September this
year, and Gen. Lejeune expects to learn
his new duties in the meantime. Some
TOO students are expected to attend the
institution this year.
Forwarding Gen. Lejeune's request for
retirement to Secretary Adams, Gen
Neville wrote this Endorsement: Gen
Lejeune entered the service as naval
cadet on May 10. 1884. On final grad
uation from the Naval Academy, July /,
1890, he was appointed a second lieu
tenant in the Marine Corps and thus
began long and distinguished career
as commissioned officer. His record of
service is so well known, especially his
service in command of the I'd Division,
American Expeditionary Force, during
the World War and as commandant of
the Marine Corps from June 80, 1920,
to March S. 1929, that any elaboration
of 1t appears unnecessary here.
Outstanding Marine Onicer.
I'm my opinion, he has been the
and most DISTINGUISHED
Marine officer of his time, and has been
responsible more than any other man
or group of men for the high degree
of morale and efficiency which exists
in the corps today. It is with a deep
sense of loss, both personal and off,
cial, that I contemplate his separation
from the active list
After Secretary Adams had signed
the order for retirement late yesterday
afternoon, Gen. Neville came into his
colleagues Office and delivered the
document to Gen. Lejeune in person.
