FETE ALL READY, HONOREES ABSENT Militiamen Spend Evening Waiting in Vain for Olympic Victors. Lost—two riflemen of the 121st Engineers, National Guard of the Dis- trict of Columbia, who helped ‘clean | up for America at the Olympic games. Lost, also, much energy expended in arranging a glorious reception to the conquering heroes by their buddies, who stood around the Union Station until nearly midnight, meeting every train that came in from New York 1ast night. Sergt. Joseph W. Crockett and Corp. Marcus W. Dinwiddie, who were members of the American rifle team which went to the Olympic games to | show competitors of other nations | Just how good they are, radioed from their ship that they would be in at 25 o'clock last night. "The band of the 1218t Regiment was there to serenade them, as were the officers of the regiment and a lar proportion of the enlisted men. T had automobiles on hand to parad them through the streets. and sho: the people the way militiamen do things. Members of the National Rifle Association also were there, and /nfumerous entertainments in their honor had been arranged. But these all have been checked n riflemen are located. Not a word had | been heard from them since they sent the radio message. But before any arrangements are made again, there will be a that they wiil leave, and keep their buddies standing around waiting to blurt out a lot of cheers.
