That Fifth battalion Incident.


First Lieut.. F. Carroll Mattingly, Com
pany ID, 9th Battalion, who was recently
relieved from duty by Maj. Simonson as
sequel to his declination to tender his res
ignation when requested to do SO by the
battalion commander, has, 1t is understood
made application for the appointment of a
court of inquiry. Lieut.. Mattingly, it
seems. desires that the circumstances in
connection with the incident be investi-
gated, for he thinks he is the aggreved
party.
So FAR as can be learned, a court of in
qu.ry Will not be appointed in this case,
for those who claim to be well up in mill
tary procedure take the stand that Lieut..
Mattingly has not indicated anything that
ought to be investigated However, time
alone will show the outcome Of the matter
Battery Prospects Are Brighter.
The prospects for the organization of a
successful foot battery are very gratifying.
At a meeting held Wednesday evening last
marked enthusiasm was displayed. Lieut..
Griffiths. who has been authorized by the
commanding general to organize the bat
terry. states that he is very much encour-
aged because of the interest displayed. He
says there are now promised nearly many
men as are needed to man the battery. All
Of them have had experience heretofore in
military work
The next meeting will be held this even
ing at O'Clock in room 6, Ames building,
1510-l2 G street.
Ambulance Corps Mt Work.
Notwithstanding the handicaps imposed
by the transfer of quarters, the Ambulance
Corps has decided that it will not indulge
in a vacation just at this time. The or
ganization has rented attractive rooms on
9TH street and regular meetings are held.
Lieut. Fales is at present conducting a
course of instruction in first aid to TIE in
jured and bandaging. Great interest is dis
played by the members who claim that the
Ambulance Corps of the District of Columbia
National Guard compares favorably with
any in the United States.
Lieut.. jacobson Has Resigned.
First Lieut.. Samuel H. Jacobson, quarter
master of the 4th Battalion, has rendered
his resignation and the paper has passed
through military channels and reached
headquarters. By the resignation Of Lieut.

theories are based upon plane Of self-riEhfeous

The clergy class are not arraycd against
the cause OF Masonry, for many OF the brightest

OF its principles The denouncors Of the order are
those fellows who are living I'm nftoenth-century
attics. and who would Send 10 tho stake not only
Masons chad they the power. hut all others who
their own. And perhaps the main reason for the
prosecuting spirit manifested by the religious op
pOnents Of FreemasOnrr may be explained on the
ground that the institution requires q belief In God
and the bible before admission to the order Is
granted. and for that reason may he considered a
religious organization. holding views in opposition
TO its woulG-be detractors and thereby ~ object
for persecution. II is a remarkable fact that
where In the annals Of history can I've found a
single instance where materiaist. agnostc. athe-

profess belief In God. Immortality OF the soul
and the inspiration Of holy Writ. Il would escape
