Maj. Gen. Aunton Stephan, com- manding the 29th National Guard Di- vision and commander of the Na- tional Guard of the District, has ob- tained the names of members of the Citizens’ Military Training Camps last year from the commanding general of the 3d Corps Area, and Is sending out personal invitations to certain of them inviting them to join the new detach- ment, which is a part of his division organizaton, He ponts out to them that this de- tachment will receive its first annual fleld training this vear at Virginia , Va., where ample opportunity will exist for participation in water sports and other activities at this ocean Summer resort. The division staff will train thefe this year as usual, as it is the official moblilization point for this eection of the National Guard organization, ‘The detachment consists of special- ists who will be trained for speclal duty at division headquarters. Gen. Stephan points out to the citizen sol- diers that an enlistment will prove beneficlal and will open the way for thelr advancement Iin the commlis- sioned grades. As a matter of fact, there is already one vacancy. The detachment is_commanded now by Lieut. Daniel B. Lloyd, formerly of the 29th Military Police Company. It is allowed a captain In command, #0 that in a few months, when Lieut. Lloyd is promoted. it will leave & va- cancy In the grfde of lleutenant, which will be filled by competitive ex- amination of the enlisted personnel of | this command. ‘The rifle team representing the local | Guard obtained a match with the team representing the Quantico Ma- rines, and the team left k'riday night and spent the night with the land sailors in order to begin the match early yesterday. However, the local team will be un- able to match itself on the range with the United States Engineers at Fort Humphreys, Va., their challenge hav- ing been declined, with regret, by Col. E. M. Markham, in command at the nearby Virginia post. He pointed out that the 9th Engineers are in the fleld surveying a portion of the State of Virginia and the 13th Engineers are engaged in getting the post ready to receive the National Guard and re- for their serve troops Summer training. In connection with a plan to keep in close touch with the activities on rifle ranges, the War Department has re- quested the local el?fionll Guard offi- cials to make a definite report on the use made each month of its target | range at Congress Heights, D. C. The commendations and congratu- Ila,tlons of Maj. Gen. Creed C. Ham- mond, chief of the Militia Bureau of |the War Department, have been sent to Capt. Clarence S. Shields, command- | Ing Company E, 121st Engineers, for winning the national marksmanship trophy. “I wish to extend to you and the members of, your command,” wrote Gen. Hammond, “my sincere congratu- lations for winning the national trophy for-excellence in marksman- ship in your city during the year 1925. The award of this trophy is in- dicative of the high value of the marksmanship instruction given in your organization and of the keen interest of its personnel in this im- portant phase of the training of a | oldier. The desire to excel in any competition is an incentive to greater eficiency and your organization, by winning the national trophy, in com- petition with the other units of your State, has demonstrated such a desire. I urge you to consider this success not as the ultimate goal, but as one step in the direction of future achievi ments and to continue to bend every effort to keep alive the present high interest of yout command in marks- manship, “T sincerely hope that the future will hold many more similar successes to reward the members of your organ- ization for their continued efforts.” In forwarding this official commen- dation to Capt. Shields for him and for his' command, Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, commanding the Guard, made the following comment in his indorsement: “It is very gratifying to the com- manding general of the National Guard that a company of the 121st Engineers was able to qualify more than 60 per cent of its minimum main- tenance strength as marksmen or bet- ter during the calendar year 1925. ‘The personnel of this company, and particularly the commanding officer thereof, is to be congratulated on its excellent showing and for the effort put forth in making possible the quali- fication noted.” ‘The following named enlisted men of Company A, 372d Infantry, have been ordered honorably discharged for the reasons stated: Removal from the District of Columbia, Pvt.

Request has been made by Gen. Stephan that a non-commissioned offi- to duty as sergeant i local Guard to take the place of Car- Tington Horan, discharged. He pointed out that the services of an Infantry sergeant are urgently needed for Com- pany A, 372d Infantry and 29th Di- vislon Headquarters Units, now or- ganized or being organized. The re- quest is further made that if the pres- ent allotments do not permit the detail of a non-commissioned officer that the matter be submitted to the Militla Bureau of the War Depart- ment with the recommendation that the allotment be increased. Efforts of the Militla Division of the War Department to have division staffs of the National Guard made up of component parts of the Guard of several States is indicated in a let- ter recelved at Guard headquarters here. Maj. Gen. Stephan was the first to put this training into effect, having trained in the fleld for four years, and four times a year the staff 1s called together either in this city, in Richmond, Va., or Baitimore, Md., for the purpose of considering division matters, and also for the purpose of working out divisional war games. The results, according to the Militia Bureau’s letters, are clearly indicated in the degree of readiness of these headquarters to function in tactical command of thelr organizations. Evidences of a split between Na- tional Guard officers detailed for dut.y with the Army General Staff here to represent the National Guard of the country in sheping military dcfense matters on the one hand and National Guard officers in the Militla Bureau of the War Department and influential Guard officers throughout the country on the other, on a matter of certain policies is indicated in Guard circles here. It has given rise again to the oft brought up suggestion that the National Guard should be entirely di- vorced from the Regular Army. The latest split developed, it was learned, over a resolution passed by t.l"ne National Guard Association of the United States at its recent convention, which recommended that action be taken to reduce the percentage of at- tendance of enlisted men required at armory drills and camps in order to entitle the commissioned officers of an organization to receive pay be made from 60 per cent required by present regulations to 60 per cent. When the matter was taken up with the Militia Bureau it was found that the officers in authority there were in favor of it, and so recommended to the War De- partment. It has Just been disclosed that the General Staff has turned down the recommendation, and in connection with this it was learned from authori- tative sources that it was rejected purely on the basis of opinions of the XNational Guard officers of the General Staff, who sald to lower the required percentage from 60 to G0 per cent would be very injurious to the train- | y ing and. efficlency of the Guard. The reported action of the General Staff Guard officers, it was learned, has de- veloped considerable criticism, and the matter will be thoroughly threshed out at the next convention, at the last one of which it was generally conceded that such a change as this would be decidedly helpful to the Guard. It is contended that this action of the Guard officers on the General Staff does not represent the opinion of the Guard as a whole in this respect. ‘While it {s conceded that these officers must exercise their individual judg. ment in performing their official advis. ory functions, nevertheless, it was add- ed that it must be remembered that the provision of the National Defense act authorizing National Guard officers to be detailed to duty in the General taff was enacted at the request of the National Guard in order that there might be in the General Staff officers from the Guard who could represent the latter’s viewpoint, and who would be able to advise the officers of the Regular Army with Y'l:om they were in contact as to what®National Guard opinion might be. As a matter of fact, it was pointed out, in the matter of the recommendation under consid- eration, the resolution of the associa- tion was the real viewpoint of the Guard and should have been taken into consideration by the General Staff. - This has given rise to the su - tion that the interests of the!(hx“:i:i would be best served by taking its affairs out of the machinery of the Regular Army. As to how this can be done, it was further suggested that the Militia Bureau might have re- stored to it all the administrative functions, which now rest with the corps area commanders and also by taking the Natlonal ‘Guard officers off of the General Staff and placing them onndutr l;:olm:d Militia Bureau. It was pointed out further that the National Guard {s not a part of the Army of the United States until called into Federal service, and there is a parently no reason why it should function as such. It is contended further that this was the original idea in Congress, when the Militia. Bureau was established. It was asserted, fur- ther, that the State forces should be trained in such manner and organized in such a way that when called into Federal service they will it into the corps and divisional machinery, but in peace time, the path of the Guard is to be beset with difficulties, it is con- tended, if the administrative functions must be carried on through so many Army agencies. Efforts are being made by I Guard officers to obtain for Pvt’: F::n‘f cis E.

Anti-typhold 1noculations of th@: members of the Naval Reserve of the District of Columbia have so crippled the outfit, that it was hardly possible to muster a squad at last Mondal night's drill. Those who did appear could not do much in the way of dril}- ing, but the citizen sailor lads ars planning to celebrate their return to duty en masse Tuesday night with smoker, which will follow the regulsf.’ drill period. Lieut. Harry J. Nichols, executivél; officer of the hattalion, announced that/ in addition to the smokes there be several interesting wrestling and boxing bouts between talent in command, and the mess atten s have announced that they are plan- ning a most interesting program of entertainment. 2 The local section of the Naval Re serve Officers’ Association of the United States held a meeting at the navy yard armory Monday night d instituted plans for its annual Spring festival and dinner, which, it was an riounced, would be held at the Ward - man Park Hotel, June 16. Other de tails of the dinner have not been per fected. Senator Oddie of Nevada. who ha~ taken considerable interest in the de velopment of the local Naval Reservi was the guest of honor.of the locai officers last week at a dinner given in the ward room of the United States Destroyer Allen, training ship of the local Reserves, docked at the Wash ington Navy Yard. The dinner. was tendered by Senator Oddie as a test: monial in appreclation of the help he has givn the local reservists. Lieut. Comdr. Finney Bascon Smith, commanding the local Reserves was toastmaster, and am the speakers were Senator Oddle, Lieut Harry J. Nichols, executive officer of the local battalion, and Lieut. Comdr ‘Wolfe, commander of the Allen. In order to make preparations fo: its strenuous schedule of training cruises with reservists of this city and Baltimore, Md., aboard this Summer. the Destroyer Allen will leave here June 7 for the Norfolk, Va.. Navy Yard, where it will be drydocked for scraping and painting of the hull, and some minor overhauling. Her ma chinery is said to be in excellent con dition, and this, it was pointed out. was borne out when the vessel made its maiden voyage down the Potomac River last Sunday in a short training . cruise with the reservists aboard.
