District Nat With the 3d Corps Area Head- quarters at Baltimore, Md., having LE; proved the training camps for tl militia in this territory, officers and | | men of the National Guard of the Dis- | | trict of Columbia are now directing | their preparations for these encump-i ments, which, for a time, they feared would be canceled on account of the | economy demands of the Government. | ‘The announcement of the approval| of the camps was received with much | interest by the local militiamen, as many of them look forward to the field | training periods as a vacation. [ ‘While Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan,| commanding the local militia and the| 29th National Guard Division, which | comprises the National Guard of this | city, the States of Maryland and Vir-| ginia and a portion of Pennsylvania, is |still confined to Mount Alto Hospital, | where he is undergoing treatment, he | has improved sufficlently, it was an- | nounced at brigade headquarters, to 1 hold a number of conferences with his officers concerning the preparations for the several encampments. He is now vorking out details for the 29th Di- vision staff, and is endeavoring to co- ‘[operabe in so far as possible with the States concerned so as to insure all ! possible savings in funds. ‘The 29th Division staff and the di- visional headquarters troops, as well as | |the 121st Regiment of Engineers and Company A, 372d Infantry, will go to Camp Albert C. Ritchie, at Cascade, Md., for their period of training, while the Coast Artillery units here, under Maj. Walter W. Burns, will go to Fort Monroe, Va. While the camps now appear to be a certainty, the guardsmen still are concerned as to the number of drills | which will be allotted them during the | next fiscal year. The practice has been to give 48 drills a year. There was a | movement to cut them out, as was done | for the Naval Reserve, but it is known that a strong fight was made in Con- | Many of the enlisted men of the guard | | throughout the country, it was said,| |depena on this drill pay money to pay | | their expenses, and it was added that a reduction in the number of drills or | their entire suspension might result in {many of them being thrown on the . | relief agencies for help | _There has been some discussion that the number of drills might be reduced to 12, which would be only one each month. It was pointed out by those familiar with militia affairs that this would serfously affect the training, as 48 drill periods was considered about the minimum that could be considered | by carrying out an effective drill pro- gram and keep the troops in the best | | shape for the field. | Pvt. Harley C. Fritz, Battery | hororably discharged on account of re- | moval from the District of Columbia. Pvt. R. G.

McCammon, senior in- unit instructor of the 2d squacror, 306th Cavalry, were relieved of this duty dur- ing the past two weeks, and they are at present on duty ir the forests of Pennsylvania with the Civilian Con- servation Corps. Lieut. Col. Charles B. Moore, Infantry, will complete his tour of duty at District Reserve headquarters on June 30, and he has been assigned to duty with the Organized Reserves in the 4th Corps Area with Station at At- lanta, Ga. Maj. Stafford Le R. Irwin, F. A, and Maj. William E. Brougher, Infantry, have been ordered to report for duty at Washington Reserve head- quarters. The retrenchment in all Federal ex- | penditures has caused only a limited | amount of money to be allocated from the reserve appropriation for the pur- pose of training a few key Field Reserve officers in each of the Corps areas dur- ing the next two or three months. It appears, therefore, that there will be no active duty training for Organized Re- serve units of the District or officers of junior grades—lieutenants and cap- tains—this Summer. At the present time approximately 1,500 reserve cap- tains and lieutenants are now on active duty with the Civilian Conservation Corps, but no field officers have been detailed to this duty.
