Guard of the District of Columbla are being made by Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, commanding the National Guard of the District of Co- lumbia. The local Guard will have to vacate its present quarters on June 30 next, but as yet no suitable quar- ters have been found. Writing to Willlam T. Galliher, Gen- Stephan sald: “The National Guard of the Dis- trict of Columbia has been advised that the lease for our armory ad- joining Convention Hall will not be renewed on July 1, 1926. This means that armory facilities will have to be located elsewhere in the city. I have caused an examination of the city to be made and do not find any suitable premises available for occupancy at the rental which the National Guard of the District of Columbia can pay as authorized in the District of Co- lumbia appropriation account. “I am considering the possibility of interesting a group of business men in this city, or a builder, in the proj- ect of erecting a suitable armory for the District Guard with the idea that the premises would be occupied by the Guard until such time as Congress should make uppropriation for an armory for the organization. “I will appreciate it very much if rou will consider this matter and give h advice in this connection as u may desire and whether or not you believe the plan to be feasible and a paying proposition. The pres- ent appropriution for rental for an armory and drill hall {s $7,000 and this could possibly be increased to $8,500. The present armory contains approx- imately 30,000 feet of floor space ex- clusive of the drill hall and covers a plot approximately 140 feet by 150 feet. “Your past with our ende efforts in connection vors to secure provision by Congress adequate armory fa- | cilitles are very much appreciated. and | I hope will bear fruit during the com- | ing session of Congress. However, be- ginning July 1 next, we must at least | have temporary quarters, and in the event that an armory is authorized by Congress it probably will take five years to complete ft.” Gen. Stephan wrote also Harry Wardman, explaining the local armory situation, asking if he would consider the matter of constructing a building to house the organization, with the understanding that so long as appro- priations were made for the support of the Guardand until Congress might authorize the erection of a suitable | armory building the premises would be occupied by the Guard. Samuel J. Prescott was written also asking it he would be interested in the possibility of erection of a build- | ing for the Guard. “I will deeply ap- preciate it,” he said to Mr. Prescott, “if you will advise me as to whether or not you taink such proposal is fea- sible and what character of building and how much floor space we should expect to get with the funds which we have availabl With the approach of Winter, with no drill hall available for the Natlonal Guard, and the possibility that they will have to drill in the street, Gen. | Stephan has asked the Commissioners | for consideration of a proposition of allowing the Guard to use one of the school halls. Writing to Cuno H. Rudolph, president of the Board of District Commissioners, Gen. Stephan said: “As I have previously advised you, the National Guard of the District of “olumbia. has been notified to vacate its present armory on June 30, 1926. Efforts to locate a suitable bullding have failed thus far and I have won- dered whether or not it would be fea- sible to use the gymnasium or drill hall in one of our larger public schools | one or two nights a week during the coming year for drill purposes, with the idea that we might secure nearby suitable bulldings for storage and as- | sembly purposes. “At the present time we have no drill hall available and through e using the public streets | for drill purposes. The weather will | make this impracticable very shortly. | and if such a hall is available in any | of the District buildings it will be of very material assistance to our organi- zation. Your consideration of this re- quest will be deeply appreciated.” In his plan to seek to have Con- gress make some provision at the com- ing session of Congress to provide ad- equate armory for the local National Guard, Gen. Stephan is seeking the | ald of the Commissioners of the Dis-| trict. He has written to Chairmanl! sioners as follows: “The time has come when the Na- tional Guard of the District I» deeply in need of the aid and support of the “ommissioners in {ts endeavors to se- cure appropriations and authority {from Congress for an adequate ar- mory as a future home for the organi- zation. I recently visited Gen. Lord, the budget officer, and requested his recommendation for the passage of the desired legislation and the inclusion ' __THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, OCTOBER 11, 1925—PART I National Guard I feel that Gen. Lord recelved my Tequest with favor and trust that he will be able to make the desired rec- ommendations. “I believe that the Commissioners of the District can very ably assist in securing Gen. Lord’s approval of the project by indorsing it to him either Iir writing or in person at this time, and I will highly appreciate it if the Commissioners will do this. “The malter of an armory for the National Guard is becoming more vital every day. I have been informed by the owners of the bullding occupied at the present time that we must va- cate the premises on June 30 mnext. A survey of the buildings of the city which are available, by my office and Col. Sherrill's office does not show le quarters available for ““The assistance of yourself and your assoclates on the Board of Commis- sloners is needed and I feel confident that with your support the project for erecting a National Guard armory in the District of Clumbia will receive favorable consideration.” Company, 40.00; Company D, 121st Engineers, 39.39; Company B, 121st Engineers, 37.3 Battery A, 260th Coast _Artillery, 86.36; Company A, 121st Engineers, 37.78. Under this rating only the band, medical detachment, Companies C and F of the engineers and Company A, 1st Separate Rattallon, presented enough' men at drill to qualify their officers for pay. Orders have been issued by Col. John W. Oehmann, commanding the 1218t Regiment of Engineers, for the following ‘units to proceed to the rifle range, Congress Heights, D. C., to fire course D: Company D, October 12; Company E, October 14; Company F, October 16; Headquarters and Service Com- pany, October 19. In the event of raln, the order specifies the organiza. tion concerned will fire on the follow- ach company will assemble at the armory on the evening preceding its day to fire on the range, the hour of assembly to be designated by the com- commander, ~and proceed to Camp Simms, remaining in camp that night. The following schedule of calls will be observed—Reveille: First call 6 a.m.; assembly, call, 6:30 a.m. Range practice: First call, 7:05 a.m.; 5 ; commence firing, The majority of officers of units of | 7 the Guard have reported in favor of the present standing collar on the uni. forms, as against the proposed roll collar. The War Department now is engaged in taking a census of Guard organizations to get the opinion ®f officers of this branch of the service on the proposal to change the uni form. Should the War Department decide to organize additional units of the Natlonal Guard in the near future, the District Guard has requested that it be allowed to establish the following organizations: Twenty-ninth Division Headquarters Detachment; Headquar- ters, Special Troops, Twenty-ninth Di- vision, and another battery of Coast artillery. It Is recommended that the 29th Di vision Headquarters Detachment espectally be authorized in order that the training of this detachment may progress with that of the members of the 29th Divislon staff. The division headqus ment 1s composed of 12 war: cers and 88 enlisted men, assigned to various staff sections. The special troops consist of a signal company, light tank company, ordnance com: pany, service company and military police, and consists of one licutenant colonel or major, two captains or first | lieutenants and eight enlisted men. In view of the limitation of strength put on the National Guard by the ap- propriations, it is not known at th time whether the War Departme; will authorize any of these organiza- tions to be formed, but the District officials decided to at least put in an application for them so that it would be on file in the event that the de- partment decided to allot more troops. The following named enlisted men | of Battery B, 260th Coast Artillery, | have been ordered honorably s’ | charged on account of removal from the District of Columbla: Sergt. John B. De Spears, Pvt . Ray Lar- comb, Frederick C. Shelton and Ar- thur T. Temple.
