The hostiry of the 1st District of Columbia Volunteers, war with Spain, dates back to April 20, 1898, when the late President Willlam ' McKinley signed the declaration of war. On April 22 the District of Columbia Na- tional Gnard was assembled, when the President called for 125.000 volun- toers, Gen. Harries tendering the services of the entire guard, it thus being one of the very first to respond to the call. During the afternoon of April 23 the District National Guard received an order calling the organi- zation into active service. Acting on ' that order, April 25, the guard was ordered out for duty by Gen. Harries. The volunteer regiment was organ- ized soon thereafter, the District of Columbia being allotted a regiment of infantry. At the celebration and reunion day night many of the incidents d cxperiences again be told. They resulted the comradeship which sprang up in the regiment which rendered real service to its ountry during those trying days a quarter of a century ago. _ FREIGHT RATE BLOCKED.

A meeting of delegates from the varfous civic, patriotic and veterans' organizations of Washington will be held at the armory Tuesday night to discuss plans for conducting a cam- paign to induce Congress to provide a new armory and better training fa- cilites for the local guardsmen. The District National Guard is making an onviable record in_expansion and ef- ficlency, but is badly handicapped on account of lack of facilitles, and the time, and it s hoped that some re- | lief will be granted soon. . : Madj. Walter W. Burns of the Coast' Artillery Reserve Corps has been authorized to recruit a new regiment of coast artillery. The new organiza- tion will be known as the Z47th Coast Artillery and, being the first in the district of Washington, will probably be utllized for the training of the Officers Reserve Corps. 1i will have a battery of disappearing rifles at Fort Washington, Md.
