At the convention just closed of the National Guard Association it was| resolved to support the need of the District of Columbia National Guards- men in their ight for adequate armo- ries, and also to assist in the fight that men employed in the Federal Government departments be granted leave from their work to attend the Nutional Guard encampments. The support, of the National Guard Asso- clation to the .District;of -Columbia rdsmen In their fight for new rmories will mean much. Brig. Cen. Milton A. Reckord of the Maryland National Guard was re- clected president of the asoclation. ol. Leroy Pearson of the Natlonal Guard, was re: Brig. Gen. J. C. R. Woster of the Florida National Guard was elected vice president, and Brig. tien. Charles I McLean, Kunsas Na- tional Guard, treasurer. Maj. Gen Anton Stephan, commanding the Dis- trict of Columbla National Guard and the 29th National Division as well, was elécted vice president for the 3d Corps Area The réserve oftl to make plans for mer tralning camps. he coming Sum- There is much speculation as to who will be the| commanding general at Camp Meade, ad., where the officers from the States of Maryland and Virginia and the District of Columbia encamp. As 2 Brig. Gen. Harold B. Fiske, U. Sastbadn falcommranil thereior sy successive years, It is not expected that he will be the commanding gen- eral there thix year. Among the general officers that probably will be assigned to Camp Meade are La Roy S. Upton and Charles J. Symmonds, and there is some talk of Paul B. Malone being assigned therc. At the present time Gen. Symmouds is on duty in the Philippines. He is con- sidered a very strong military man for duty in connection with the CMTC. Odds are in favor, at the present time at least, of the assign- ment going to Gen. Upton. In order to correct the belief that no more applications will be received for commissions in the Officers’ Re- serve Corps, Col. John Scott states that the change made on November 11 only concerns officers of the World War who previously had ben per- mitted to come Into the reserve corps with the same grade and rank that they held during the war. They were commissloned on examination of their service record and a physical exami- or Ts are starting in | @ mation. nust tak the regular prescribed e: for commissions and will He wiven the grade and rank that the ' boayd recommends. Applications will still be geceived. ‘| at the office of .the Col.
