men; smartness of enlisted personnel in
standing at attention and saluting;
general atmosphere and morale within
the unit as a military organization, and
deficiencies of previous year and
whether they have been corrected
When the annual inspections for the
local Guard arrive this year the main
part of the District Militia will be al
most in the midst of a moving from one
armory building to another. The local
organization has been forced to vacate
the old Government Hotel building on
the Union Station Plaza, which has
served as an armory for several years.
and will go into the National Hotel
building, at Sixth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. This building has just
been acquired by the Government and
eventually will form part of the site
for the proposed new municipal center.
Plans now are being made for the
movement of the property, and the
work will be started as soon as certain
necessary repairs have been completed
in the hotel building. Ofiicers of the
local Guard were present at the auction
sale of fixtures and purchased some OF
the articles which it was desired to
have remain for the use of the Guard
the new building will be better than the
present structure, although it will be
little more than a makeshift. 1t also
means that the Guard again will have
to seek other quarters when the actual
raZing for the building operations are
started, but this is expected to be sew
eral years hence. For more than a
quarter Of century the local Guard
has been forced from one rented build
ing to another, and never has been sup
piled with adequate armory training IA
cilities in keeping with its position as
the only Federal militia of the country
While it was indicated that those in
charge of the Guard would not cease
their efforts to have Congress provide
funds with which to construct special
ly designed building for the local militia
they hold out little hope now Of any re-
suits at this time from their efforts in
this direction. There was some little
hope that the Bowman bill, introduced
at the present session of Congress, pro-
viding for the acquisition of the Wash
ington Auditorium as an armory for
the Guard might be passed, but with

was made of the vessels and floating
equipment assigned for short week end
cruises and drills afloat. The avia-
ton divisions performed their is days
active training periods at aviation
bases, and In the plans with which
all organizations except two now are
provided. The feet divisions per-
formed their Is days on board de-
stroyerS of the battle feet and scout
ing fleet, except Al divisions, which
cruises on the gunboats assigned to
the Great Lakes.
William j. Scott, chief electricians
mate, has been placed on the retired
list after 80 years service.
Lieut.. (junior grader Malcolm M,
Coukey, Aviation Reserve, has been
ordered to is days of active duty for
training at the Naval Air Station at
Anacostia.
The following promotions in the
I'd Fleet Division have been ordered

the Naval Bureau Of Navigation said
it Is the hope that the appropriations
during future years will permit fur
ther expansion toward the ultimate
requirements. He points out that the
Fleet Naval Reserve consists OF Of
ficers and men organized into d.
visions and battalions or aviation
squadrons, of definite strength as to
officers and men, for general COM
Blatant duties af1oat, including AVA
ton duties. Each division, upon
mobilization in the event OF war, Is
required to officer and man a def1-
nitely named vessel now out OF COM
mission, or, in the case OF aviation
divisions, to form definitely specified
aviation squadrons, and their training
Is directed toward this end.
Each division Is required to form
weekly drills in armories and Is days
training duty per year, as an organi-
cation, upon a vessel as similar as
may be to the one designated for
mobilization The number of such di-
visions now organized and under train
ing for duty on shipboard is 149, To-
Gated in IS different cities in various
parts of the country, and for aviation
duties, 20 located in l3 different
cities.
There were some slight increases
allowed in the personnel last year, and
there was a noticeable increase in the
percentage attending drills and taking
training duty.
Some fault is found with the
armorieS used by the Naval Reserve
organizations, the department point
ing out that they are inadequate for
the purpose, but that they are the
best that can be had within reasona-
BILE rental figures. However, through
cooperation and generosity of the
communities in which located, this
situation has been remedied in GER
tain instances and further progress
is hoped for.
During the past year the depart
ment also found that increased use

the ALLEGATION of the hotel building this
seems remote. One Of the strong argyll
ments which was being used by those
sponsoring the Auditorium project was
that If it were acquired promptly. 1t
would save the cost Of double moving
operation.
While the support of militia organiza-
tons throughout the country has been
put behind the efforts of local Guard
officers to obtain an adequate building
so far 1t has been Of no avail. The con-
ventionS of the National Guard AsSo-
citation Of the United States have al
most annually passed resolutions point
ing out the plight of the local Guard;
and regular Army officers have reported
to the War Department that the armory
facilities here were grossly Inadequate,
but without any tangible result. The
Washington Auditorium, it was salo'
with some remodelling would make an
ideal armory, and, above all, would pro-
vide the organization with hall large
enough to drill the troops in during
periods of Indictment weather. The lack
of such a space Is one OF the serious
handicaps Of the local Guard now, and
will be even after it is located In the
National Hotel Building. While there
is a large room In this building which
can be used for the assembly of bat
talon, it was said that it would not De
large enough for the indoor drilling OF
troops.
