District National Guard

Some praise and some criticism was
contained in a general order issued tc
the National Guard of the District OF
Columbia during the week by Maj. Gen
Anton Stephan, commanding the mi
litia.
1.-The commanding general" said the
order, noted with much pleasure the
splendid appearance, both individually
and as units, of personnel Of the Dis
trict of Columbia National Guard
which participated in the inaugural pa
rade. Much favorable comment from
sources outside of the District OF Co
lumbia National Guard has been heard
on the appearance and marching OF
this organization and this weH-deserved
comment is published to the command
1T is noted that the set-up OF some
individuals within the organization is
not all that is expected. This is nc
doubt due to the fact that some Of the
men are engaged in positions over desks,
ETC., which has a tendency to make
them round-shouldered." Unit COM
manders and all personnel concerned
should strive to Ovecome this slight diff
ficulty, the personnel concerned making
the period outside of regular drill
hours, not only with view to improv-
ing their personal set-up but also with
a view to improving their general
health"
