Gen. Anton Stephen. “The District of Columbia National Guard rifle team, under the direction of First Lieut. J. C. Jensen, 121st E gineers, team captain,” he said, “is participating in practice for_tryouts for the team to represent the Natjonal Guard of the District of Columbla in the national matches. The national match rules provide that one-half of the team members shall be men who have never before fired in a national mateh. Tt ig belleved that this method gives ample opportunity to every member of the National Guard of the Distric, of Columbia to aspire to a DPlace on the rifle team and it is re- quested that all persons interested in trying out for plac on the team see Lieut. Jensen either at the armory or at the target range on practice days, namely, Saturday afternoon and Sun- day morning.” Gen. Stephan directed a letter of condolence on the death of Maj. Joseph Le Masurier, quartermaster, 29th National Guard Division, to Mrs. Le Masurier. Col r was a member of the staff of . Stephan, who commands the National Guard Division, comprising troops of this city, Maryland and Virginia. The officer was killed in an automobile accident in Richmond. Le Masurler, Gen. Stephan as one of the most liked offi cers on the staff of the 29th Division and displayed much more energy and enthusiasm in performing his duties than the average officer. His death, he said, causes .a distinct losa to the State of Virginia and to ‘the 29th Division Capt. Thomas A. Lane, command- ing Company F, 121st Engineers, an- nounces that Second Lieut. Charles B. Hamilton, recently promoted, has been assigned to Company F. Lieut. Hamilton was a member of the old 3d District of Columbla Infantry be- fore the war; commanded the Head- quarters Company of the 163d Infan- try, A. E. F., in France, and was wounded in action in the Argonne. He has been assigned to command the second platoon of F Coimpany. The following officers_recently pro- moted from the ranks have been as- signed to the companies fojlowing their names: Lieut. George I. Har- bin, Company C, and Lieut. A. L. Jorgensen, Company B. Lieuts. T. A. Riley and John A. Schricker have for- feited their commissions because of the fact they did mot want to go to the companies to which they had been assigned. These officers recently suc- cessfully passed the rigid examina- tions for second lieutenants in the 121st Engineers, but when commis- sioned and assignments ordered they did not want to go. In view of their stand, Col. John W. Oehmann, com- manding the regiment, has asked for the revocation of their commissions and restoration to duty in the ranks, according to officers at National Guard headquarters. Both were sergeants before their promotions. The following enlistments were re- ported last week Company A, 121st Engineers—John M. Caswell. William J. Grouche, Philip R. Clagett, Enrique C. Canova, William Earle, Thomas H. Keys and Arnold Lichtenbers. Company B—Ernest Q. and William J. Terry. Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineers—Gerald W. Hay: Henry J. Crum and John D. Clarke. Company F, 121st Engineers—Jo- seph M. Bowman, J. E. Thomas, C. O. Wilson and Alva H. Strawmeyer. Lieut. Just O. Jensen has been transferred from Company E to Com- pany D, 121st Engineers, relieving Lieut. Evans, unattached. Corpl. Joel Reznek has been detailed in charge of the rifie marksmanship for Com- pany F. Charles W. W. Collier, former lieutenant of Company I, Washington High School Cadets, has been promoted to top sergeant of Com- pany A, 121st Engineers. Company B’'s basket ball team, which practices every Thursday at the armory, is asking for games with any team in the city.

Bpscher of the Medical Detachment, st Engineers, has re-enlisted in that unit, as also have Sergt. George Jermain and Pvt. Beckett. The. members of Company F, 121st Engineers, have announced a smoker te be held June 30, to which a num- ber of friends of the men will be in- vited. The committgy in charge is composed of Sergt. Potter, Sergt Green, Lisut. Hamilton, Corpls. Dickey and Smith, Sergts. Lavenroth and R. P. Maevers and Corp. Butler. Lieut. Daniel loyd, 20th Mili- tary Police Company, delivered a lec- ture to this unit at drill during the week on the work of the Coast and Geodetlc Survey, talking particularly on his recent expedition to Illinois and Indiand. Lieut. Raymond W. Peak, com manding the 29th Military Police Com- pany, was given a surprise follbwing the drill last week, when he was. pre- sented with a_geld wrist watch, a gift from the membess of his command in appreciation of s service. The pres- entation address was made by Top Sergt. Ralph . Bartley, with an ap- propriate response by Lieut. Peak. Corp. Guy T. Bolten, 29th Military Police Company, has applied to take the examination for pilot in the Army Aviation Service. Recommendation that members of all units of the local Guard be given training in the use of the gas mask, and algo that traiming be given in the identification of gas agents, first aid and collective protection, is contained in the report flled with National Guard headquarters by Lieut. Le Roy S. Mann, 260th Coast Artillery, who has just completed a course in warfare at the Chemical Warfare School of the Army at Rdgewood Arsenal, Md. There are two methods by which this training could be given, he says: First, by training an officer and non- commissioned officer from each unit, and then having them train the other members of their units, and second, by having one officer train all units in succession. He says, however, that he believes the first method to be the best, as more camplete train ing could be given to the officers and non-commissioned officers from each unit. “In order to carry on any form of training that will be of vaiue,” Lieut. Mann contimues, “it will be necessary to procure sufficient masks to outfit one company. They could be used by the various umits and batteries in ro- tation. It is improbable that more masks than these could be obtained, as the supply i limited. It is not believed that tratning given with the World War type of mask would be of any value, as the two masks are radically different in construction. “At least three hours per company would be required to properly carry out the recommendations. More would be desirable. Approximately five hours would be required for the designated officer and won-commis. sioned -officers, in additien. if all the recommendations are carried out.” Gen. Stephan has issued an order directing the establishmer® of an eligible list for the selectiorr of offi- cers for the units of the National Guard. There will be a separdye list for each branch of the service. “‘A For Few Days Only—While They Last 2 Y % The Coats Tricotine Coats % Sport Coats Flannel Coats 7222 Here's the plan: All Reduced, Too!

Such examination shall be open to all en listed personnel of the corps or branch concerned who have com pleted not less than six months’ con- tinuous service in the National Guard of the Distriot of Columbia immedi- ately preceding the date on which the examination is held. The exami- nation will be similar in scope to the examination prescribed in the Na- tional Guard regulations for second lieutenants of the corps or branch concerned. ““Candidates qualifying with a gen- eral average of 66 2-3 per cent and a grade of not less than 50 per cent on each subject will be awarded a certifi- cate of proficlency and placed on the eligible list of the corps or branch concerned in the order of merit estab- lished by the examination.” ‘The order further states that the life of any éligible list shall be for one year, and that any candidate who fails to receive a commission during any year on the list will be eligible to to take another examination to be placed on the list of the next year. If a man on the eligible list for one corps transfers to another corps his name will be taken from the eligible list, but he may take an examina- tion for the eligible list of the other corps, but will be excused from taking an examination in such subjcots as he successfully passed in first case. Further provision is made that it an enlisted man’s time expires while his name is on the list and he does not enlist within 30 days, his name will be removed from the list. Corp. Charles F.

Thompson, attached to the Naval Reserve of the District of Columbia, has been ordered to re- port to_the commanding officer of the U. §. S. Cheyenne, training ship of the Baltimore, Md., Naval Reserve, for his annual cruise with that unit. Lieut. Thompson is an engineer offi- cer. This officer left Washington Friday and reported aboard the vessel at her dock in Baltimore Friday night. This ship will cruise for two weeks, pro- ceeding up the coast - to Newport, R. I, for liberty, and returnig to Tangier Sound in the Chesapeake Bay for target practice Preparations are being made by the Naval Reserve of the District of Co- lumbia for the second cruise of this Summer aboard the U. S. 8. Eagle ». 56, which will start from her k at the foot of Water and O streets southwest next rday. Commander John A. Schofield will command the vessel on this cruise, which will be for 30 days, and will touch Havana, Haitl and the Virgin Islands, returning to the naval target grounds in the Chesapeake Bay for target practice. This is the longest cruise which the ship has been ordered on, and is the second foreign cruise of this Summer. It also will be the last cruise of the Eagle No. 56 as the training ship of the District Reserves, as she is to be relieved in July by the U. 8. Destroy- er Allen, now fitting out at the Phil- adelphia navy yard. The Eagle then, according to present plans, will go to Daltimore to relieve the Cheyenne as the training ship of that unit. However, the District Reserves will not cruise aboard the Allen this Sum- mer, as the Destroyer Toucey of the scouting fleet has been ordered here to take the Keserves out on the July and August crutses. On the cruise which is to start next Saturday there will be eight officers and 64 men, more than her comple. ment provides for, and Comdr. Senofield said that it will be necessary to provide cots for the surplus, but even this will be welcome, as the ves- sel is to cruise in a warm climate. ARGENTINA CONFIRMS FINDING OF NEW STAR Nova Pictoris at First Visible to Naked Eye, La Plata Ob- server Says. By the Associated Press CAMBRIDGE, Confirmation of new star, Nova Pictorls the Southern sky on May 2 son of South Africa, has been rec at Harvard College observatory radiogram from the Argentine gov. ernment observatory at La Plata. The observations were made by Director Hartmann and confirmed for the first time three weeks ago. When discovered the star was of exceptional brightness, visible to the naked eye. Nova Pictorls, reported to be of the second magnitude, is a peculiar type of variable, of which there have been very few reported. These flare into sudden brilliance and subsequently fade. Few are ever bright enough te be visible without a telescope, how- ever. They have a pecullar spectrum and inasmuch as astronomers have not yet established the cause for their strange behavior the analysis made by Hartmann is expected to be of ex- ceptional interest and significance.

[FINANCE REFORM PLAN RATIFIED IN RUMANIA Program Is Expeoted to Put Cur- rency on Sound Basis Within 15 Years. By the Associated Press. BUCHAREST, Rumania, June 18.— Rumania’s program for a return to sound money within a period of 15 years has becn made effective through parliamentary adoption of a bill rati- fying two conventions with the na- tional bank of issue. One of the conventions extends the bank's cherter, increases its capital and aime at strengthening the gold reserve. The other provides a scheme for wiping out the internal debt of 10,500,000,000 lei by earmarking cer- tain government revenues, estimated to_yield 650,000,000 lei annually. The fiscal circulation would be re- duced a like amount yearly, so that it would drop from 19,000,000,000 lei to 8,500,000,000 during the 15-year period The government regards the plan as a feasible method for revalorization and stabilization of the leu, aithough some prominent economists consider -|it impracticable and urge immediate devalorization.
