inspections of Militia
Will Begin on March 4
Annual Tests of D. c. National Guard to Be
Made by Board Composed of
Army Instructors.

the next few months 1t will be the
first time in many years that the in
spections have been made without o
general in command Of the Guard.
The place as commanding general Of
the District Of Columbia militia has
been vacant since the death Of Mai.
Gen. Anton Stephan. The COM
manding officer Of the largest unit,
Col. John w. Oehmann, by virtue Of
being the senior offlcer in rank in the
local militia, has been serving as
commander of the local brigade, in ad-
dition to his duties as commander of
the 121st Regiment Of Engineers.
There Is strong hope in local
Guard circles that the President will
find time to make the appointment
soon after the first Of the year, al
though there Is an unconfirmed re-
port that the War Department does
not desire to make another brigadier
general here. On the other hand.
those familiar with the local National
Guard law say that the President has
no choice in the matter, the law
specifically saying that he shall" ap-
point q commanding general Of the
local militia with the rank of
brigadier general. The late Gen.
Stephan held two commissions, one
as brigadier general commanding the
local militia and the other as major
general In the National Army and
commanding the Goth National Guard
Division, which Is composed Of the
citizen troops of this city, the States
Of Maryland and Virginia and q por-
ton Of Pennsylvania. This latter as.
signment, upon the death Of Gen.
Stephan, went to Gen. Milton A.
Reckord, commanding the National
Guard Of Maryland.
For the annual inspections to come
the examinations of property will be
conducted at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing of the night which has been set
for the inspection Of the particular
unit. For these daytime inspections
of records, property and store rooms

been authorized to detail not to ex-

PREPARATIONS will be started
in earnest soon after the nrst
Of the new year for the annual
i inspection Of the various units
composing the National Guard
Of the District of Columbia. At that
time the militia units are put through
q series of tests by officers Of the Reg
ulsr Army to determine their fitness to
take the field in the event Of q ma
tional emergency. The Government in
spectors at this time also determine
how well the units are equipped and
whether the thousands Of dollars
worth Of Government property loaned
to the organizations for training pur-
poses also has been kept In good con-
dition.
The orders for the inspections this
year also disclose that the tests will be
made by q board Of officers composed
of the Regular Army personnel as
signed here to instruct the various
units. The commanding general Of the
Sd Army Corps Area, of which this
district is a part, the orders say, has
authorized this board to conduct the
inspections this year.
There Is an officer assigned to each
arm of the service represented in the
makeup of the Districts composite
brigade Of troops. In the past 1t has
been the practice to send here from
some other Army post an officer Of the
arm to be inspected. OF course, this
involved travel expense money, and 1t
Is probable that the new practice was
forced because Of the limitation placed
in the appropriations for travel ex-
pense for officers Of the regular estab-
ishment.
Commanding officers Of the local or
ganizations have been given stringent
instructions this year to examine
closely the reports Of their respective
units last year, and If there are any
faults therein found by the inspecting
officers at that time, to make prompt
efforts to have them corrected this
year so that the same faults will not
be found in the reports which will be
made as a result Of the coming in
spections.
With the holiday drills suspended In
order to keep the units within the 48
drill limit for the year fixed by the
War Department to keep within the
appropriations, the organizations really
have only very short time in which
to make preparations for the inspec-
tions, If any special preparations are
necessary. They have only one drill
night each week and for two hours
each night, 50 that for the units which
are first on the list to meet the tests
there really is only about 16 hours, or
the equivalent Of two days.

States makes the appointment within
