District National Guard Members of Congress, District of Co- Jumbia officials and representatives of civic and trade bodies of the District of Columbia inspected the armory fa- cilities in the old National Hotel Build- ing at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue last Monday night as the guests of Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, command- ing the local brigade. The inspection was arranged to give those interested in the local militia and those who must be looked to to provide the appropria- tions for its upkecp and maintenance of the armory facilities a first-hand idea of the conditions under which the local citizen soldiers must receive their training. It was reported those who attended were most favorably impressed with the manner in which the men have worked to make the best of the bullding which has been allotted to them. All of the officers of the militia were present and assisted in showing the bullding to the visitors. One of the chief centers of attrac- tion during the inspection was the new medical center which has been estab- lished by Maj. George J. Allen, state staff surgeon, and which has been per- sonally sponsored by Gen. Stephan. In order to get the quarters finished in time for the inspection, Maj. Allen personally spent several days at the armory supervising the force which was preparing the quarters, and in as- sembling the vast amount of equi ment necessary in handling the medical work of the gmard. Here will be cen- tered all of the health and medical ork, under the direct supervision of ESJ. Allen, including all of the exami- ations of recruits and officers, as well s the administration of the serums and vaccinations. This work has been removed from the medical units at- tached to the various organizations in rder to leave them free to carry out eir routine drill schedules. A room on the same floor with the general staff has been allotted by Gen. Stephan. It has a stone floor, and the Wwalls have been enameled white. White draperies have been hung at the win- dows and doors, and a large screen placed in the room, dividing the treat- ment section from that used for the examinations. Heavy carpets have been provided in the examination section for the men to stand on during the ex- aminations. 2 In the treatment ion there is an operating table, s rs and large glass cases to keep the surgical instru- ments in as well as the large supply of medicines kept on hand for emergency use. A free hand has bcen given to Maj. Allen in the acquisition of the necessary equipment, as it was indi- cated that it is the desire of Gen. Stephan that Maj. Allen equip it in the most modern way. It is the first time that the guard has ever had such an establi it, and it was said that Re officers who were present on said that it was the ::sl medical unit that they d here in the Army. Among e who inspected the armory were Representative Simmons, Maj. Gen. Gulick, chief of coast ar- tillery of the Army and former execu- tive officer of the Militia Bureau of the War Department; Maj. D. A. Davison, assistant engineer commissioner of the District of Columbia; Brig. Gen. George C. Shaw, U. 8. A, retired, a former member of the guard; Col. William H. Waldron, executive officer of the Militia Bureau, and Col. H. L. Steele. While at the armory Representative Simmons and Maj. Davison e ed in a pistol match in the new gallery in- stalled under the direction of Capt. J. C. Jensen, ordnance officer. While pleased with the facilities at the present armory, the Guard officlals will continue their efforts to have Con- gress make some provision for the con- struction of a building especially for the local Militia units. The matter now is being considered by a special co:?mxnee of District of Columbia offi- As there was no regular drill sched- uled for last Tuesday night the en- listed personnel were allowed to bring in their friends and relatives and show 0 them their new quarters. for Lieut. Col. Prederic H. Smith, adju- tant general of the local Militia, began & 30-day leave of absence last Wednes- day. It was said that he would make @ short visit to the United States Mili- tary Academy at West Point, N. Y., to wisit a son who is a student there. Merrill D. Reich, Company E, 121st Engineers, was the only enlisted man who took the recent examination for sppointment to the eligible list from which selections will be made to fill vacancies in the rank of second lieu- tenant of Infantry. The board re- Emd that he made an average of 80.8 his examination, and that his name ‘will be placed on the list. It was indi- cated that he will not remain long there, however, as there is a vacancy in the 29th Division Military Police Com- pany, which he will be selected to fill. ‘The special board appointed several months ago to consider the matter of the allotment of the disbanded unit fund to the various armories occupled by the Guard has made its report. It was said that the recommendations did not meet with the approval of the brigade headquarters, and that it had been returned for further consideration. ‘This fund is made up of amounts of money on hand in various units of the Army when they were disbanded at the end of their World War service. It was turned ovef to various organiza- tions designated as successors to these wunits, and that received by the local Guard units has been held in trust in @ general fund until such time as it gs geflded to spend it for the entire ard. Attendance of all ¥he local Guard e them a pércen t barely satisfactory, according res compiled by Lieut. Col. Charles B. Elliott, senlor instructor to the local Guard, who is VA- rious units to make & effort to increase their attendance. “For the units of the District of OColumbia National Guard, which are given weekly ratings,” Gen. Elliott says in a statement, “the records for ar- mory drills for a period of 25 drills since the first week in November, 1929, show 15,530 total attendance at dril 6,637 total absence from drill. “What did your company or detach- ment do to establish this record? Did your organization have a high rating and therefore pull the general rating | up into the very satisfactory class, or | was your organization in the ‘weak- | sister’ class, dragging down instead of boosting the rating? | “The following records will show you how you stood in the matter, and if you are satisfied with the record of | your orgdnization, then do nothing | about the matter. If you feel that your organization has fallen down on the attendance record, get your ‘teamwork’ going, route out the dead heads and get them down to drill. Get rid of the men who are suffering from ‘chronie absence’ Get into the superior class and do not be satisfied to ‘just {n by’ with a satisfactory rating. Make the present ‘top notchers’ scramble to hold | their places.” ‘The following classifications show the ' relative standings of the organizations, | with the total attendance and absences and percentages: Superior — 29th Division Military Police Company, 1,468 present, 62 ab- @ent, 95.95 per cent; Medical Depart- | the unite of Battery B, 260th Coast Artillery, 1,088 present, 394 absent, 71.69 per cent.
