RAINHALTS GUARD IN“BATILE” PLANS Deiense of Mount Vernon Is} Revoked as Men Are All Primed. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATL o Stail Correspoudent of The Star AMP HUMPHI Va., —When the troops composing the 121st Regiment of Engineers of 1 National Guard of the Dis 't of C iambla were all primed es out on a road march to e field problem involving the defens: the home of George Washington Mount Vernon. a shower proved mo; formidable than the imaginary enemy | had heen reported in | as crossing the | which already ciaborate field orders Potomac River, and drove the citizen soldiers back into their barracks, The majority of the troops showed great disappointment as the recall or- der came, for after the “battle” they were fo have had the freedom of the | = zrounds as the guests of the custodian | of the estate. They have been work- | ing for nearly two weeks hardening | themselves for this field service: they | have even worked on their field engi- | neering problems in driving rain, but | the officers thought the proposed | march was too much and that if they | got wet they would be taken back to | their homeg with heavy colds. Rain Soon Cease: The rain ceased a few minutes after the troops hid been disbanded, but when it was found that the rain was only a brief shower, it was then too late to start the 12-mile hike and the men were sent out on the soggy par- rade ground for infantry drill. However, an advance patrol slipped out of the camp and across country hefore the majn body of troops and was safely entrenched and dry when couriers were sent out from the camp to order them back. They did not even encounter the rainstorm which proved a barrier to the main body. This was the premier combat ma- neuver on the schedule and the one toward which the troops had been working during thelr encampment here, but the 1927 training period will pass into history without this part of the schedule carried out, for tomorrow will see only a short drill and then the troops will prepare to depart for Washington on Sunday morning. Heavy Colds Prevale The chilly air and the cold, bleak barracks, in which the troops have been quartered here, has begun to tell on a number of the members of the regiment, who are suffering from heavy colds which have confined some of them to quarters. Chaplain A. L. Smith has been confined to the post hospital for two days with grip and today he was ordered sent in the field ambulance to Walter Reed IHospital in Washington by Maj. George -J. Allen, commanding the Medical Regi- ment detachment. Maj. Allen also is giving the officers their annual physical examina- tions, which are required by regula- tion and which it was necessary to defer In the case of many of the officers because they are suffering from heavy colds. District troops joined with the Regulars here vesterday for a parade, which was reviewed by Assistant Sec- retary of War Hanford MacNider, Maj. Gen. Creed Hammond, chief of the Militia Bureau, War Department, and District Commissioners Ladue and Taliaferro. The soldierly appearance of the District troops brought forth favorable comment from Gen. Ham- mond. He pointed out, however, that the Regular troops were better clothed, and expressed regret that it was necessary for the National Guard to be clothed in the various shaded khaki in which they appeared on the parade ground. This was the only feature that marked them as Na- tional Guard troops. Gen. Hammond was taken to the bridge which™ has been constructed here, and said it was the finest piece he had ever seen done by National Guard troops.

Criticizing Shaw key's administration, he said the fac. had “lost confidence” in its presi- dent. Nelvage defended his teaching meth- ods as being effective, President Shaw- key when he asked for Selvage's dis- missal referred to protests from the Huntington Ministerial Association, immediately leading to complaints from students and others that Selvage was being driven out by “fundamen- talists.” This issue, however, failed to play any part in the hearing.

NEW YORK MAYOR 10 SPONSOR SINGS Walker' Announces Musical Plans After Hearing Ger- man Children. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 26.—One of the first things Mayor Walker is going to do when he returns to New York is to get the children of the East Side and the West Side to sing together the songs of their own country as do the children of Germany. He made this announcement at the banquet given in his honor by the American Club last night, after a choir of German school children sang {81k songs for his spe- cial benefit. ~He expressed himself as delighted with the performance. Mr. Walker made a strong appeal in his speech for hands across the sea between Germany and the United States “after the recent slight mis- understanding.” To the German sec- tions of the diners he appealed not to regard New York merely as a city of jazz and great white way, but as the first commercial, financial and in- dustrial center of the Western hemi- sphere, Jacob Gould Schurman, the Ameri- can Ambassador, eulogized the Ger- mans as excellent citizens of the United States. ~After he drank the health of President von Hindenburg, the acting German foreign minister, Herr von Schubert, toasted President Cathedral Mansions—South 2900 Connecticut Avenue Northwest Corner Conn. and Cathedral Aves.

Policemen were posted outside the Kaiserhoff Hotel, where the banquet was held. There was no untoward in- cident. The newspaper Rote Fahne (Red Flag) had expressed the hope that Mr. Walker at the dinner would feel like Sacco and Vanzetti tied to the electric chair, but a heavy, con- tinupus downpour discouraged any would-be unfriendly demonstrations. There was a smaller attendance at the banquet than expected, due to the municipal order boycotting the Kaiser- hof and other hotels for official func- tions because of failure to fly the re- publican colors, black, red and gold. Burgomaster Boess was among those absent. The republican banner was draped beside the American flag in the banquet hall. CULLIN LANDIS REWED.
