District National Guard

organisation commanders of the local
National Guard have been directed Ia
make preparations for a series of field
maneuvers to be held during the annual
encampmentS this year In Compliance
witt: Instructions from the Militia
Bureau OF the War Department. The
department recently made it known
that It was going to have boards of
ofncers at the various camps during the
coming summer to ascertain first hand
National Guard as a part of the fieht-
ing machine of the Government shouId
it be necessary to call it into the field.
The commanders have been told to
cause suitable exercises to be prenared
as part OF the routine field training
of the unit and announced that a period
OF two or three days during the second
week Of the encampment would be
devoted to the execution of these tests.
At the same time they also were given
orders to provide for an inspection to
be conducted under the entire super
vision and control Of the National Guard
commanders, such inspections to be
held in full field equipment, including
the pitching of shelter tents and dis
play of equipment on the last full day
of the camp.
Examinations for candidates for the
eligible list for second lieutenantS of
infantry will be held, beginning on the
evening of February Is and on sue
cessive drill nights, it was announced
at brigade headquarters. These ex-
aminations are held annually and those
who successfully pass them have their
names put on the list from which
selections are made to I'LL vacancies in
the commissioned grades as they occur.
The examinations will be open to second
lieutenants of other branches and also
to enlisted men of the Guard who have
completed the required service. Six
months service as an enlisted man is
requisite to obtaining a commission
in the local Guard.
Applications for the examinations
must be in the brigade headquarters
by February 81. The examinations will
be conducted under the provisions of
Army Regulations 140-3i and they will
be conducted by the following board
Lieut.. Col. Charles B. Elliott, Infantry
U. S. A., inspector Of the local Guard
Maj. Edward H. Grove, commanding
the headquarters troops, and Maj
George j. Allen, Medical Corps, State
Staff.
Orders have been issued for the par
ticipation by the Guard in the celebra-
ton incident to the anniversary of the
birth of George Washington to be held
at Alexandria, Va, on February a.
Commanding officers have been in
structed to issue the necessary equip
ment and the uniform has been set as
follows: Service dress, with overcoat
and barrack caps, with arms but with
out packs. The parade will be counted
as an armory drill.
Preparations already are being made
at the brigade headquarters for the par
ticipation by the offlcers and men of the
goth National Guard Division, stationed
here, in the division exercises to be held
at Fort George G. Meade, Nd, begin
ming on July Z. The officers here have

Just received personnel tables from the
commander of the Sd Army Corps Area
at Baltimore, showing the minimum
number CO officers and men required for
participation in the exercises.
Orders are expected to be issued next
week for the annual encampments of the
various Units composing the National
Guard of the District Of Columbia, it
was indicated at the brigade headouar-
tiers. OF course, 1t has been known for
some time that the division troops would
go to Meade. It had been expected that
the 121St Regiment of Engineers would

go again to Fort Humphreys, Va, the
Army's Eastern engineer post. s.
This information will be received with
some regret by both officers and men. it
is said. as they have Thoroughly en-
joyed their camps at the MARYLAND
mountain camp, which is close to sew
eral popular Summer resorts. They also
have there on the reservation many rec
reational features. including a lake for
boating and swimming. Sanitary ar
rangements also have been provided
there, such as hot and cold water for
the showers, and permanent tent floors.
1t has not been indicated just where the
troops will camp at Humphreys. but
when they were there before thew occu-
pied as quarters the old war-buiIt bar
racks, on which great deal of money
always had to be spent each year to put
them IN any kind of habitable condition.
The troops do not have any such rec
reational facilities at the Virginia post
as they enjoyed at the Maryland camp.
There is another objection which has
always been made by the enlisted per-
sonnet particularly, and that is thatSthe
post is so close to Washington that it
really does not provide them with any
kind of trip.
The 372d Infantry, the colored unit of
the Guard, however will return to Cas-
cade, 1t was said. It has not been deter
mined whether the 260th Coast Artillery
Will again go to Fort Monroe, Va, where
1t has always taken its training. There
Is some talk in Guard circles Of its going
to some New York Artillery post. How
ever, 1t was pointed out that the Vir-
GINA post provides every kind Of facility
for training, and there is salt water
bathing and Summer resorts nearby.
The Importance Of company COM
manders checking their property losses
once a year has been called to their
attention In memorandum from the
brigade headquarters which points out
that these losses are not cumulative. It
was explained that the losses cannot
be carried forward from year to year.
In this connection the headquarters
points out that it is believed that all
units have some shortages and surpluses
in items other than clothing. With this
in mind unit commanders, under the
supervision of regimental and battalion
commanders, should make an inventory
OF the property within their units at an
early date. Upon completion of these,

and disbursing oficer will endeavor to

King George v of England may not
know it, but he was indirectly respon-

the morning when his address opening

broadcast throughout the United States
Admiral Bradley FiSke, retired, and
Col. E. A. Green, commanding the Ma
rines at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, were
scheduled to arrive at the studios about
5 o'clock in the morning to hear the
Kings address as it came into the
studios from the receiving station al
Riverhead, Long Island. A member Of
the executive staff was delegated to
meet them. It happened that the man
selected lives more than an hours trip
from the studios, and on Lne hight

lation to the broadcast kept rim busy
until long after midnight.

of the quarts of coffee he had been
