compliance with all the details OF the
camp order. the camp supply officer will
issue a certificate showing that fact.
The orders prohibit the shipment or
taking to camp this year of Govern
ment-owned uniform caps, but this does
not seem to prevent man from taking
his own uniform cap. AS the men pro-
coed to camp with their campaign caps,
and these are not considered desirable
or dressy by the men going on liberty
in the evenings, many OF them desire
to wear the uniform cap and some OF
them have their own.
Special attention Is called to the
brigade order to the National Guard

which provides that officers belonging

chairman of the publicity committee OF
the Sidearms Club, In statement In
the NJ P. Gazette, official organ OF the
29th Division Military Police Company,
urgaS every one in the Guard TO boost
foR IN armory."
~rhe National Guard or organized
militia of the United States is numert-
cally much stronger than the Regular
Army, he says. THE Guard is subject
to the call of the President for active
Federal duty at any moment. Tie
District of Columbia Rational Guard Is
the only branch of the organized militia
hoasting the President of these United
States as its peace time commander-in-
chief. And yet, the District Guard is
enc Of the few organizations of Its kind
that has no permanent and appropriate
armory. and thus far every effort that
has been made to secure proper housing
facilities for the District Guard has been
futile.
This condition must be remedied by
the Guard itself. Members can and
must interest themselves actively in the
matter; otherwise who should? Keep
the question in the public mind; tell
your friends that the National Guard
of the District of Columbia, the po-
litical center Of the United States, Is
without permanent housing; tell them
that our present quarters are scheduled
to be RACED, and that the fate Of the
District Guard will be problematical
when that is done.
ut is quite appropriate at this time
that the goth Division Military Police
Company should take the initiative in
campaign to secure some sort OF action
in this regard. We have led and are
leading in the rebirth of the National
Guard. We have taken our. quarters
that seemed beyond hope of repair and
made them livable and attractive, thus
stimulating other outfits to undertake
similar repairs. This has required
much work and the outlay of consid-
cradle money, both cheerfully contrib
uted in spite of the lack of any guar
anty as to the length of time We may
enjoy the tangible fruits of our efforts
I'VE have demonstrated what we can
do with little or nothing to go on. Our
accomplishment, we believe, is sufficient
proof of what we might do with the IA
cilities denied us-lead the entire Ma
