District National Guard For the purpose of firing their an- hual rifle competition with the future - admirals of the Navy, a rifle team, rep- resenting the National Guard of the District of Columbia yesterday went to Annapolis. This is a special team, or- ganized for this purpose, and, it was said at brigade headquarters, that the team sent yesterday does not represent the final makeup of the personnel: of the team which will be sent to the national rifle matches at Camp Perry, ©Ohlo, this year for the big shooting. " Almost every Sunday scores of men @re firing on the local Guard rifle yange at Camp Simms, Congress Heights, D. C,, in an effort to get an assignment to this team. Only the best shots will be picked for the big team for the national matches. The team which went to Annapolis yesterday is made up as follows: Capt. Just C. Jensen, Ordnance Department, | team captain; Capt. Clarence S. Shields, Company E. 121st Engineers; First Lieut. ‘Thaddeus A. Riley, Company E. 121s Engineers: Pirst Lieut. Edward A. Mc- Mahon, Headquarters and Service Com- pany, 12ist Engineers; Stafl Sergt. Alex J. Thill, Ordnance Department, State staff; Sergt. William R. Lane. Company E, 121st Engineers; Sergt. Prescott Blount, Battery A, 260th Coast Artillery; Corpl. Philip C. Geraci, Bat- tery A, 260th Coast Artillery; Corpl. Louis A. Robertson, Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineers; Corpl. Eugene Ross, Ordnance Depart ment, State staff; Corpl. Carl Santilli, Battery A, 260th Coast Artillery; Pvt. (first class) Arthur A. Tomeldon, Com- pany A, 12Ist Engineers; Pvt. Harry B. Parsons, Company E, 12ist Engineers; Pvt. Thomas A. Reneau, Company D, 121st Engineers; Pvt. Theodore L. Herrell, Company E, 121st Engineers; Pvt. George L. Garland, Ordnance De- partment, State staff, and Pvt. Elmore W. Seeds, Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineers. i Th> duty performed in connection with this assignment was without pay. excepi that Government employes were furnished with service cards in order that they might get military leave to articipate in this event, which has en an annual custom for many years in the local militia. | 'Teams for the local Guard fared very Wwell in the corps area competitions in small caliber indoor rifle matches con- «ducted under the auspices of the Na- tional Rifle Association, according to ; figures compiled by the association and ‘made public at local brigade headquar- te TS. Company D, 121st Engineers, com- manded by Capt. Clarence S. Shields, * topped the list in the 3d Corps Area, ‘which comprises this city and the States of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. The total score of the team from this command was 3,306. The Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineer Regiment team, took third place, with a score of 3,280; the State staff eighth place, with a score of 3,182, and Com- pany D, 121st Engineers, tenth place, with a score of 3,149. The highest score for the entire coun- was made by Company K, 38th United States Infantry, at Fort Doug- las, Utah, with a score of 3.326, so that the local Guard high-score team in the 3d Corps Area was only a comparatively few points behind this team. These matches are fired in the indoor rifle ranges of the respective units and the results reported to the headquarters of the National Rifle Association here. In an effort to attract to the ranks of the local National Guard young men who are graduating this year in the Re- serve Officers’ Training -Corps -schools letters are being written to a number of these people telling them of the oppor- tunities. The names have been fur- nished by the War Department. Practically all of the members whose names have been received are medical students and the following letter has been sent to rom the local brigade headquarters: “This office has been advised by the ‘Militia Bureau that you will graduate this year as a member of the Medical Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and in this connection your attention is in- vited to service in the Medical Depart- ment detachments in the District of Co- lumbia National Guard as a means of securing practical military service in your branch. “At the present time there are no va- cancies in commissioned grades in the Medical Corps of the District of Colum- bla National Guard. However, such vacancies occur occasionally and the possibility of commission in the Na- tional Guard at that time would be greater if you were already a member of the Medical Department. “Capt. Edward C. Morse, in command of the medical department of the 121st Engineers, is at the armory, North Capi- tol and D streets, on Tuesday evening of each week. Capt. Stewart M. Gray- son, in charge of the Medical Corps Detachment of the 260th Coast Artillery, is at their armory, Water and O streets southwest, on Tuesday evening of each week.” | " Lefters have been addressed to_the following: Louis B.

Three organizations of the local Guard' succeeded in mustering 100 per cent of their personnel for the annual inspections just completed, according to figures compiled and made public by the brigade headquarters. They were the band of the 121st Regiment of En- gineers, the Headquarters Detachment, 29th Division Special Troops, and the | Medical Department Detachment, 260th consistent 100 per cent organization at the regular weekly drills. The percentages of personnel mus- |tered for the annual tests by the other units composing the local Guard follow: 121st Engineers—Headquarters and Service Company, 96.24; Medical De- partment Detachment, 85.00; Company A, 88.33; Company B, 84.37; Company C, 91.66; 1st Battalion, 88.04; Company D, 93.65; Company E, 93.44; Company 8 2d Battalion, 92.81; average for the regiment, 91.51. 29th Division Special Troo] Head- quarters Detachment, 29!hWD_;VBl0n, g?]t& Division Military Police Company, 260th Coast Artillery—Headquarters Detachment, 92.81; Battery A.q 79.63; Battery B, 76.37; Battery C, 80.39; aver- age for three batteries, 78.75; average for entire unit, 81.63. Company A, 372d Infantry, 64.51. Again last week the Medical Depart- ment Detachment, 260th Coast Artil- lery, topped the list in the matter of attendance at drill, being classified as supirlor. with a percentage of 100. Only 11 of the units drilled last week, the Engineer Regiment having skipped a drill in order to keep within the maxi- mum number of drilis allowed annually for the local troops, which has been placed at 48 by the Militia Bureau for he purpose of keeping within the ap- propriations for armory drill pay. Inci- dentally, for the first time since its or- ganization the Quartermaster Corps Detachment dropped into the unsatis- factory class., with a percentage of 54.54. This organization has for months been in the top column, most of the time with 100 per cent in attendance. ‘The other units, in their respective clas- sifications, with percentages, follow: Superior—29th Division Military Po- lice Company, 97.77. * Excellent—Headquarters *Detachment, 29th Division, Special Tr¢ ., 87.50; Headquarters Detachment, 260th Coast Artillery, 80.00.

Leek, Headquarters Detachmeht, Special Troops, 29th Divi- sion, has been ordered transferred, in the grade of private, to the Headquar- ters Detachment, 29th Division. How- ever, immediately upon his transfer he was ordered promoted to sergeant in the latter unit and assigned to the quarter- master section. Upon recommendation of the detach- ment commander, Private Marvin G. Colman, Headquarters Detachment, Spe- cial Troops, 20th Division, has been or- dered promoted to corporal. Pvt. Roger B.

Commendation for the band of the 121st Regiment of Engineers is con- tained in a letter sent to Warrant Officer Myer Goldman, leader, by Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, which read as follows: “I take this opportunity to commend you and the members of the 121st En- gineer Band for the splendid concert which they played and which was broadcast from Station WMAL on the evening of Saturday, April 20. Being present at the studio at that time, I was personally pleased with the con- cert, and have since heard much fa- vorable comment on the playing by undertaking this outside of their reg- ular duty hours, shows the spirit which is developing within the organization, and I wish you and the organization continued success.” Use of the swimming pool at Camp Simms, rifle range of the local Guard, by small children of the Congress Heights area, is being sought this year also by the Hill Crest Citizens' Asso- ciation for children. It has been used for several years under the auspices of the Congress Heights' Association. which has supervised - the pool during the periods it was in use by the chil- dren. “It is desired to have the definite responsibility - for the supervision o the pool during such time as it may be used by children,” says a letter of Gen. Stephan to the Congress Heights Association, “remain with the Congress Heights Assoclation. However, it is be- lieved to be to the interests of all con- cerned to permit the use of the pool by other white children residing in the vicinity of the range. It is, therefore, requested that the Congress Heights Association undertake the organization and sponsor a committee composed of representatives of other citizens' asso- clations mentioned and work out plans and details for use of the pool as noted above.” The 20th Division Military Police Company, it was announced, staged a number of boxing bouts in_iis new quarters at the armory last Thursday night as a part of its program of en- FULL tor, in the grace Beneath the g = — — the band.
