DISTRICT GUARD
GOES To CAMP

The 121st Regiment Of Engi-
neers, enlisted from the District
of Columbia and vicinity, today
is beginning its two weeks train
ing at Virginia Beach. The en-
listed strength of the regiment,
which is unGer the command of
Col. John w. Oehmann. District
building inspector, is 500.
The organization left the Ma
tional Guard Armory at Sixth
and Pennsylvania Avenue North
west yesterday and marched to
the dock at the foot of Seventh
Street, where they embarked on
the steamer City of Washington.
An inspection Of the camp at
Virginia Beach will be made by
Mai. Gen. Anton Stephen next
Sunday, when the regiment will
parade in review. Major General
Stephan is commanding officer Of
the Twenty.ninth National Guard
Division.
Prior to the inspection, a weeks
course in theoretical instruction
will be given the engineers. A
one-day maneuver with combat
exercises, mapped out by Colonel
Oehmann. is also on the schedule
of the Washington regiment dur
ing the week.

POLL To DECIDE
TERMINAL NEED.

A three-day poll of passengers
on cars of the Mt. Vernon, Alex
andria and Washington Railway
Company and the Arlington and
Fairfax Railway Company was be-
ing planned today as the next
step in the fight to establish a
terminal for the company north
of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Announcement was made by A.
K. Shipe, of the Washington Board
of Trade, that passengers would
be asked to fill out printed cards
telling their place of business,
where they transfer and similar
information.
The local Board of Trade and
Chamber of Commerce and the
Alexandria chamber of commerce,
with a number of other civic or
ganizations in nearby Virginia,
which are fighting against aban-
donment of the car line, decided
on the traffic count after a recent
decision of the Public Utilities
Commission. The commission de-
cided that the companies could
not establish terminal north of
Fourteenth Street at Constitution
Avenue because of heavy traffic
expected from the Government
building program at Fourteenth
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
The companies contend that un-
less they are permitted terminal
north of Pennsylvania Avenue
they cannot compete with bus
lines. y
