DINE AT HARVEY'S Association of Former D. C. Guardsmen Celebrate Its 38th Anniversary. Nearly one hundred former mamb-ul of the Corcoran Cadet Corps—officially . designated Company E. 1st Infantry. in the before-the-war National Guard of the District—assembled last even- ing at Harvey's to celebrate the thir- ty-eighth anniversary of the date of the organization of the corps. Those Present constitute the “veteran asso- clation” of the “Corcorans,” and it was their first get-together since rior to the entry of the United States later in the ‘world war. * his experiences in France, Gen. Ste- phan declared there had not come to his notice a l"l:le instance of an Officer from the ional Guard being improperly treated by an officer of the Regular Army, notwithstanding reports to the contrary. The head of local Natlonal Guard concluded . by explaining the present status of the guard, and mentioning its component elements and the plans for the im- mediate future. Maj. Richard D. La Garda, adjutant general of the District of Columbla militia. while admitting that he was not very familiar with the “ancient history” to which he had heen listen- ing. referred to the needs of the country in a military Wiy, and ucg the “veterans” present to do &l t“filr power to assist in upbufl the guard. and in stimulating inter- est in military training. * “Firat Musician.” 2. Gibson, introduced as Coreoral Dr. Frank “the first musician the Corcorans ever had,” humorously described how he had tried to learn to blow a bugle in the hope of being excused from guard duty. A The speaking was interspersed with vocal and instrumental selections and chorus numbers by members of n the world war. It was agreed that | the Mohawk Quartet. consisting of annual reunions shall be the rule hereafter, with frequent meetings be- tween the banquets. Maj. C. Eugene Edwards. N. G. D. C., | retired, the first and only command- ing officer of the Corcorans. presided. After disposing of an elaborate menu Eriz Gen Lioyd M. Brett, U. 8 A. retired, who served for ending in 1909, as adjutant generai | 1 of the local citizen soldlery by detail | from the Army, was introduced. Gen. Hrett's Address. Gen. Brett related the value to him, | | as an Army officer and a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. of his service with the National Guard when this country en- tered the world war. The brigade he organized and rom-i manded was made up of drafted men, in a sense very similar to those wha had served in the National Guard, and differing from the enlisted men of the} | o'd Army. Henee, his iour of duty with the citizen soldiery had prepared him to intelligently handle the new type| of soldier in a way that would not! have occurred to him if he had not possessed the experience gained from his years with the Nationall Guard. The Corcoran Cadet Corps, Gen. Brett declared. had always stood | for the very best in a National Guard sense. ol. Cook Discusses Training. Lieut. Col. C. Fred Cook, infantry section, Officers’ Reserve Corps, who served as Gen. Brett's brigade adju- tant, related how the brigade com- mander, in seven short months, or- ganized and trained eight thou:wnd ||| eltizens who were without previous military experience :nto one of the finest fighting brigades that ever went into action. The speaker dwelt on the benefit National Guard training had |fi proved to be for service In the Span-, ish-American and world wars, and of | the success attained by since In earning commissions in the Regular Army. He declared that the Corcoran Cadet Corps unquestionably | i had been one of the best.
