District National Guard


District of Columbia will return home
today, its members to be immediately
placed on an inactive status for another
year, after receiving their pay for the
two weeks Of service.
The troops, which include the Head
quarters Detachment, 29th Division;
2gth Division Special Troops, the 29tn
Division Military Police Company. and

uled to break camp early today, and TO
board a special train at the camp at
10 o'clock. They are due to arrive at
the Union Station at los O'Clock this
afternoon. The 269th Coast Artillery is
coming back over the road.
The health of the troops In the en-
campment just closed is reported 10
have been the best. The camp SANTA
ton and the health of the troops was
under the direct charge of Maj. George
j. Allen, veteran Guard medical ofncer,
and director of the militia's medical
center here. He was camp surgeon
during the encampment.
Although typhoid fever had been re-
ported in an area near HagerstoWn
prior to the departure Of the troops,
and warning was issued TO them,
nevertheless there was AStie rear rom
this cause, because Maj. Allen during
the course of the armory or.ll year mas
insisted that all officers and men take
the typhoid serum. He has kept TINS
work lp to date, and as he has charge
of the medical examinations OF tr5
men for enlistment in the Guard. when
they are passed physically he imInedl-
ately administers the serum. His EFFORTS
in this respect have been largely re-
sponsibile for avoiding effects OF the
disease during the encampments.
While there is little danger to them
in camp or when operating in maneuv-
ers. there is possibility OF the men con-
tracing disease were they not immun-
lied. by being careless in drinking water
when they are away on liberty in the
evenings.
Upon Mai. Aliens return he viii inn
mediately resume the work in the med
teal center.
