In addition to the recreational facilities on the ecamp proper it is close to several popular Summer and recreational resorts. In some circles in the War Department there is a feeling that the local Engineer regiment should take its training at Fort Mumphreys, Va., the nearby Engineer post, but it was pointed out that there is vastly more opportunity for engineering training on the State troops can get at Fort Humphreys. Beside: either come to Washington or stay in camp, it was pointed out. Of course, the Coast Artillery will have its usual two weeks of field train- ing at Fort Monroe, Va., where the conditions for it ‘are said to be ideal, providing as it does plenty of space for firing the anti-aircraft guns at targets towed by planes from the nearby Army Aviation Post, Langley Field. Pvt. William S. Cheatham, Company F, 121st Engineers, has been ordered transferred to the 20th Division, Mili- tary Police Company. Six days after he was ordered placed | in the Coast Artillery, First Sergt. Perry O. Huff of Battery C, 260th Coast Ar- tillery, was ordered before an examin- ing board, headed by Maj. Frank C. Scofleld, U. S. A, for the purpose of being examined for promotion, a va- cancy having occurred. It was explained that the examination for placement on the eligibility list does not preclude a second examination when a vacancy oceurs, Pvt. Harry R. Dundas, Company C, 121st Engineers, has been ordered hon- orably discharged on account of re- moval from the city. In the same com- has been ordered transferred from the active to the reserve list. Pvt. John T. Scafone, Company D, 121st Engineers, has been ordered hon. orably discharged from the Guard cause of minority.

Motion picture theaters of Argentina have adopted the plan of dividing the daily program into a number of section rather than giving continuous perform- ances, as in this country. Each section lasts slightly more than an hour, during which a feature film of from 7 to 10 reels is shown. Admission prices ar charged according to the section or pic- ture one desires to see. In some the aters a group of three or four short reels are shown in a section, others g a news reel and a feature.

It is realized that the procession will be comparatively short, and that the local Guard, being the Na- tional Capital’s own, will be the center of attraction for many visitors, and every effort will be made to make them show up at their best, with the cloth- ing and equipment on hand. However, the local Guard is expected to act as host to a number of militiamen from States during the coming inaugu- ration, and their drill quarters, as poor @s they are, may be turned into dormi- tories to take care of the visiting troops. 7 - 5 o Already Tequests have been received at ) ¢ .

The local National Guard. ac- cording to_ officials at brigade head- quarters, will make every effort to ac- commodate the organizations, even to the extent of putting cots in the pas- sageways. When the armories are filled up, it was suggested, any other or- ganizations could, be taken care of in the buildings at the rifle range at Con- | § gress Heights, D. C. Although these | structures were not erected for Winter habitation, it was said by Guard officers that they could be made fairly com- fortable by placing stoves in them. The only real objection to locating the visit- ing troops there is the fact of great distance from the center of the city, but it is probable that if the use of these buildings is resorted to transportation will be provided in Army trucks to and ity. roops are allowed to occupy jes on the Union Station | § Plaza, it was pointed out, a very rigid trol system will have to be establishe@ E enforce the order against smoking in these buildings. ‘Troops on duty are bound to smoke and will steal & few puffs when the opportunity affords, and if a watchman or inspec- tor suddenly appears the butt goes to the nearest hiding place, where 1t will smolder into a real fire.

They said that no plans had been made, but the information in the barracks is that the transferred captain inspector [l to command the 20th Police y, although it was added that . Roy would be in command for present by virtue of seniority. As a matter of fact, those in close .touch with local Guard affairs predicted s eral months ago that Lieut.

He- is secretary to Speaker Nicholas Longworth of the House of Repre- sentatives. Brigade headquarters received a com- munication from Col. R. K. Cravens, local Army recruiting officer, that Clar- | ence L. Terrill, a private in Company B, 121st Engineers, had applied for en- listment in the Regular establishment a8 a flying cadet and had passed the requisite examinations, and his dis- charge from the local Guard was| sought. Orders were issued granting an hagorable discharge to this soldier. Two organizations of the local militia succeeded in getting 100 per cent at- tendance at drill during the past week, and were given the classification of superior in the weekly drill report. They were the Headquarters Detach- ment, 20th Division Special Troops, and the Medical Department Detachment, 260th Coast Artillery.
