i 26 LOCAL GUARDSHEN [ s JSELMIE SR o o e 2222 |(NOME IN BACK FROM GAMP Leave Humphreys After Award of Medals for Pro-: ficiency in Work. Completing one of the most suc- cessful encampments in the history of the National Guard of the District of Columbia, the 121st Regiment of Engineers and 29th Military Police Company, units of the 20th National Guard Division, under the command of Col. John W. Oehmann, returned to Washington and to civilian life yesterday. They arrived at the Union Station at 2:45 o'clock, and were met by hun- dreds of their friends. As they marched along Massachusetts avenue, the side lines were filled with per- sons who commented most favorably on the soliderly appearance of the men. Once in the armory, the units were but a few minutes stowing their field equipment and getting into P civilian clothes. Camp Broken Early. Camp was broken early yesterday morning, and the section of Fort Humphreys, Va., where the encamp- ment was held, and which was occu- pied by the local troops, was thoroughly policed. Before entrain- ing at the station in the fort, the troops were nlll’\k.ht‘d on the parade ground. Col. Oehmann addressed the com- mand, telling them how pleased he was with the success made of this camp and thanked the officers and men for the .nme spirit of service shown by them. Hes spoke of the competition between the two bat- talions for the efficiency record, and pointed out that winning of the hon- ors by the 2d Battalion, commanded by Maj. Julian S. Oliff, indicated that no unit can rest on i urels. He said that the 1st Battalion had always won it before and that the second was filled with new blood which had worked hard to win the honors. He urged the older men of the 1st Battalion to strive harder next year. Defense Day Plans. At the same time Col. Oehmann urged the members of the command to give their most hearty support to the Defense day plans. in which the National Guard of the District of Columbia will take a lcading par:, He told them that if each man of the command would bring in on: other man for the day each unit would parade at full war strength The cards which are to be signed by these one-day recruits place on them no obligation further than to march with the troops on the day of the parade, id, and the signing of s merely to have a Following his address, Maj. Julian Oliff and Capt. Clarence Shield commanding Company B, were march ed to front and center, where Miss Helen Gould Sweeney pinned on them gold medals. The medals were awarded for the company and battal- lon showing the greatest efficiency in military engineering in the field. The selections were made by the regular Army instructors, under Maj. W. E. R. Covell, and the medals were given by Col. Oehmann. Pass in Review. After this ceremony the passed in review before Col. A. Woodruff, United States Army En- gineer Corps, commanding = Fort Humphreys, and Col. Ochmann. They went direct to the train. There was some delay between the post and the statlon at Accotink where the train is put on the main line. There are several trestles on the route, built of wood during the war, but they deteriorated to such an extent as to be unsafe. When the train reached these the troops were required to walk across as a precautionary mea: ure. Col Woodruff has no funds with which to rebuild these trestles, al- though efforts have been made to get an_appropriation. Privates William Mattoon, Campany D, and C. T. Kettler. Military Police Company, bugler-signalmen, were awarded bronze medals for proficiency in signalling during the encampment. The former made 100 per cent in send- ing and receiving service messages and the later 98% per cent. TWO BURNED IN PIT. Pire Occurs at Business Place on Connecticut Avenue.

James Patterson, 85 years old, vet- eran of the Civil War and inmate of Soldiers’ Home, Saturday fell from a third-story window of the building in' which he occupied a room, landed on the roof of the porch and was ren- dered unconscious.

The penalties the laws provide will make the rascal rue it,” but I remark, “Ill let it slide, for peace beats pumps, beshrew it! My credit at the hardware store like yonder stars is glowing, and I could buy ten pumps or more, and still have coin for blowing. If I invoked the well known law and set its wheels in motion, no breath in com- fort could I draw, my grief would be an ocean. I'd have to talk with bonchead cops and hear attorneys pleading, and spend in law and jus- tice shops the time I want for read- ing.

One bright feature of the forecast is that Washington will not have the sultry atmosphere it usually ex- periences after heavy rains in the Summer, but the temperature will be moderate. Up to 8 o'clock this morning seven- hundredths of an inch of rain fell, and from 8 o'clock until 10 one and twelve-hundredths of an inch fell While this is a heavy fall, it is noted as nothing unusual, as Washington had a greater precipitation than this in minutes. e Labor Day Excursion to Richmond, August 30-31, September 1. $4 round trip from Washington.

The stumps and brush were left standing in front of the earthworks as an obstacle to attack, and when the entrenchments were dug a row of sharply pointed pickets were placed between them. These redoubts were four feet high, and in front of them was a ditch six feet wide. Log huts were built, 14x16 feet in dimension, each to house twelve soldiers, and General Wash- ington offered a reward of $12 in each regiment to the party that built the best hut in the shortest time.
