The movement to have the Government purchase outright the Washington Au- ditorjum and remodel it for armory purposes would be most desirable in the opinion of many of the officers and men, but at the same time the Guard could make use of the old National Hotel until a permanent structure is provided. The National Hotel is to be ac- quited by the District government as a part of the site for the Fmpmed new municipal center, and efforts are be- ing made to obtain it for armory pur- poses untill the time arrives when it will be razed to make way for ‘the new municipal building. Officers of the Guard say that it can be well used for armory pu: , some of the large rooms being suitable for drill purposes, while the guest rooms could be for company quarters and storage rooms for the valuable equipment which the organization must keep on hand at all times. However, it was asserted that loca- tion of the Guard in the hotel building would eventually mean that it must move again, which is about all that the organization has done for the past quarter of a century, moving from one rented building to another, and finally ending up in the worst quarters it has ever had to use, those in the old hotel buildings on the Union Station Plaza. The members of the Guard would much prefer to see the legislation passed which would result in the acquisition of the auditorium, as that would mean the end of the moving, at least Ior many years. Those who have examined the audi- torium project say that it could be re- modeled for armory purposes, and would provide space for the drilling of troops in all kinds of weather. At the present time the militiamen do not have a room in their armory I enough for drilling, and duflnx’{g: Winter montns practically all of the training must be confined to class T iThe "hotel. property wou e hot 1d’ be as- signed to the Guard fortraining pur- poses without special legislation, but the plan to acquire the auditorium re- quires the passage of a bill authorizing an appropriation, and, of course, this must be followed by the provision of the money. The whole matter could be taken care of in a rider on an a ition bill. QuasteiTiasier Corpe, siatianed sk o TIAS! , 8 at Fort George G. Meade, Md., has been au- thorized to make three trips here for the pu of instructing the new school for bakers, cooks and mess sergeants, which has been established at the Coast Artillery ory. This school was established for the purpose of training these men in teedm" the troops while in the field, so that they will be able to function from the mo- ment they arrive in camp. ‘The 260th Coast Artillery has estab- lished a recruiting station at 716 H street northeast, which will be main- tained until February 1, next, it was said at the brigade headquarters. This organization is makin, cruit enough men to fill up the present batteries, and for the organization of a machine gun battery, which has been lllotlbed toit. It is to be mustered into service. An interesting exhibit has been estab- lished under the direction of Maj. Wal- ter W. Burns, commanding the organi- zation. Much artillery equipment has been placed in the room, together with many war trophies. The searchlights of the organization are operated every night, and it was said that the plans in- clude taking the anti-aircraft gun there. Pvt. Mervin W.
