District National Guard Elaborate preparations_are b madé¢ by the 'mbers Co. F, 121s Regiment of Engineers, for their pre- camp smoker. There are so many de- tails being arranged for the biz night that ft was necessary to postpone the date to July 7, according to Capt. Thomas A. Lane, commanding. The affair is to be held In the gymnasium ut the armory, 472 L street northwest. Lieut. Hamilton, chairman of the committee, has made arrangements for an exhibition bout between Johnny | Conréy and Sergt. Herman Lavenroth of Co. . Music will be furnished by the Mount Rainier Orchestra. and Mess Sergt. Green promises plenty of chow and smokes. The following re-enlistments in Co. F, 1f1st Engineers, have been an- | nounced: Sergt. Herman Lavenroth, | Clifton McCullar and Francis Manion. The latter was formerly a sergeant of Co. F, but for the last six months has | been Chasing rum runners off the Jer sey. coast. He plans to tell of his ex- | perien several addresses which he will deliver during the annual en- campment at Virginia Beach, Va., the latter, part of August. Staff Sergt. William O. Burbage, Co. F. has been appointed acting first sergeant of that company. In order to take advantage of the annual encampment it is likely that men will have to have at least one month’s service, according to Capt Lane. He .has established in Co. I an intensive training course for re- cruits, and the school is in charge of ergt. W. D, Steuler. Before going to camp the recruits will have instruc- tion in school of the soldier, squad and company. A special class for non-commissioned officers of the 260th Coast Artillery will be held at Fort Washington, Md., according to Maj. Walter W. . commanding. The men will go to the Potomac River fort early today by motor truck. 1 A number of members of the 260th Coast Artillery took the examination for promotion to non-commissioned officers which was held at the armory, Water and O streets southwest, last week. The results of the examination have not heen compiled as vet, but it is expected that the outfit will go to camp with several new non-coms. National Guard headquarters has prepared and distributed the blanks on which members of the command will report themselves as avallable for duty in connection with the de- fense test on July 4. Those who will be out of the city must report that fact. The blanks called for signature, rank, residence address and telephone and business address and telephone. The blanks are returnable on July 4 before 5 p.m. There has also been distributed to the various unit commanders a strength report to be filled in and re- turned to headquarters not later than the day following the first regular drill subsequent to the defense test. These reports will show the actual strength of the National Guard of the District of Columbia on Defense Test day, July 4 Company (', 121st gineers, jump- ed from eighth place to first place and Company A dropped from first to eighth place in the attendance compe- tition in the local National Guard for last week.

Burns, commanding. hax heen or- dered to proceed to Fort Washington, Md., on July 11, July 18 and July 2i. for the purpose of instruction in coastal fortifications, preliminary to the annual encampment at Fort Mon roe, Va. The necessary transporta. tion and subsistence will be furnished by the quartermaster of the National Guard. 1 the transport Gen Rucker is not available for this duty, it is probable that the local command will be dispatched overland to the river post by motor truck. direction of Maj. commanding the A hurry call for the estimates of funds needed for maintaining the National Guard of the District of | Columbia has been recelved from the | District authorities. Heretofore these | estimates have had to be on file be- fore August 15 of each vear, but the new order requires them to be in by July 1. There is considerable speed- ing up at National Guard headquar. ters as a result of this hurry-up order. Col. Lloyd M. Brett, adjutant gen- eral of the District of Columbia Mili- tia; Capt. E. H. Grove, quartermaster, and Capt. P. G. Nevitt, Quartermaster Corps, made a tour of inspection of the National Guard rifle range at Camp Sfmms, Congress Heights, D. C., this week, where the regiment of high school cadets of this eity is having its annual encampment. They. found the camp in excellent condition. Licut. Just €. Jensen, Company D. 21st Engineers captain of the tional Guard rifle team which will represent this outfic at Camp Perry, Ohio, in the national matches in Au gust, will represent the National iuard in the individual matches of the National Rifle Assoclation to be held at Sea Girt, J., from July 1 sto 5. Technical Sergt. Joseph H. Rob- ertson, Ordnance Department, also will represent the guard. Others who will participate in these matches will be R. H. McGarity of the National Capital Rifie Club and Capt. H. H. Leizear, former ordnange officer of the National Guard of the District of Columbia. There are a number of improve- ments needed at the rifle range of the National Guard of the District of Columbla_at Camp Stmms, Congress Heights, D. C. The commanding gen-| eral of the 3rd Corps Area, at Balti- more, Md., has been informed of the needs, together with the cost, and a requ (0 go ahead with them. The list in- cludes two targets at the 1,000-vard range, $1,500; concrete storehouse, 24 i 90 feet. £5,000; five concrete target rooms at the abuimnts, $1.500; laying t for authority n estimate of | | of cement walks and surfacing of roadways, $2,000, and the construction of an additional drainage systeni, $5,000. There are several discrepancies in | the requirements for the participation | of the National Guard in the national rifile matches at Camp Per! Ohio, as glven in one instance by a circular {ssued by the War Department and another circular issued by the AMilitia Bureau of the War Department. Capt. P. G. Nevitt is trying to straighten out this tangle, while Lieut. J. C. Jensen is organizing and picking members of the team which will repre sent the local National Guard. Extensive circularizing of the youth of the city and the placing of numer- ous posters to encourage the young men to enlist in the National Guard of the District of Columbia is being planned. in connection with the estab. lishment of a printing plant at tional Guard headquarters. The plant was brought here from Jeffersonville, Ind., and is being erected on the first floor of the armory at 472 L street northwest. Monographs are being prepared, acquainting people with the advantages of serving a hitch or two in the guard, and it is expected that the wide use of printer's Ink will bring good results. : Capt. Willilam F. Jorgensen. Com pany C, 121st Engineers, urges his men to make a drive for recrults to bring the present strensth of 56 men up to 65. There will be several pro- motions as soon as the necessary number of men are obtalned. Plans also are being discussed by members of this command for estab- lishing a permanent Summer camp at Camp Simms, Congress Heights, D. C. Men will be encouraged to come each evening, shoot on the range and spend the night in camp. Maj. Walter W. Burns, command- ing the 260th Coast Artlllery, has sub. mitted to headquarters his drill schedule for the annual encampment of this organization, to be held at Fort Monroe, Va., August 15 to 30 next. It is an intensive schedule, calculated to give them men a com plete knowledge of their duties in the coast batteries in time of war, but there will be plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for recrea- tion and sightseeing. During _the small arms target practice Maj. Burns has made arrangements for trucks to take groups of men, as they finish on the range, .on tours of in spection of Forts Eustls and Story. The first chapter of the history of the Natlonal Guard of the District of Columbia has been compiled by Lieut. Col. C. Fred Cook and turned in to Natlonal Guard headquarters. It shows the origin of various units of the guard and tells of the various separate companles out of which the present guard was born in 1887. It is belng compiled as a part of the program of the War Department to et a_complete history of all Natlonal Guard units. _ Unfortunately, the local National Guard lost its entity during the World War, as it wa: split up among various organizations and the history of the personnel is difficult to trace. NAVAL RESERVE. Preparations are heing made to put into effect on July 1 at the local naval reserve headquarters the new regula- tions for the reorganization of the Naval Reserve of the United States. Coples of the regulations have been received, and from ,preliminary re- ports from the officers who have perused the mimeographed coples, they leave the reserve in about the same muddle that the younger officers of the Regular Navy are left in by the proposed personnel bill which has been prepared by a few high-ranking officers of the Navy who would not be hurt by the passage of the pro- posed legislation. Officers of the reserve frankly admit that they do nat know what the regu- lations all mean, and, like all such regulations gotten out with the speed these were, there will be a following of many amendments which will keep the entire situation in_an uproar. Lieut. Comdr. J. B. Blood, who has been executive officer of the local unit, it 1s understood will be the command- ing officer under the new organization, which will consist of three fleet divi- sions and a headquarters unit. Comdr. John A. Schofield, who has been com- manding, and who is on active duty permanently at the Navy Department, probably will have only the one duty at the department. This double duty of Comdr. Schofield has been the sub. ject of much criticism in reserve cir- cles, because it was belleved that he reflected in the local reserve activities too much of the department’s ideas and lost sight of the reserve view- point. The effect of the new reserve or- ganization, according to those who have followed the situation, is to drive from the organization men, particu- larly enlisted personnel, who have had regular service training, and to build it up with men who have had abso- lutely no sea service at all, much less service in the Navy. A number of the chief petty officers already have signi- fied thelr intention of leaving the re- serve because the advantages which it formerly held have been absolutely wiped out. The loss of these men will be a serious loss to the Navy. The U. S. S. Eagle No. 56, which left last week for a 30-day West In- diun cruise, after storing aboard sup- plies at the naval operating base at Norfolk, Va., left Tuesday on the sec- ond leg of her voyage, terminating at Charleston, S. C. After a short stop there the vessel will head for the ‘West Indies, touching Cuba, Haiti and the Virgin Islands, before returning to Chesapeake Bay for target practice. wractice.
