Wilson Tent X. o. 7. M. Booming

There were over two hundred mem
bers present at the regular review on
Monday evening as well as many visit
ing Sir knights, to witness the exempli
fication of the old three years of war
fare" (the ritualistic work discarded
several years ago. which was given
that the new members of the order
might see what the older Maccabees
were compelled to undergo to test their
powers Of physical endurance.
After the regular order of business the
initiatory degrees now in use were con-
ferred upon class Of candidates in q
very creditable manner, after which
two candidates who had volunteered to
take the "old work" were made ac-
quainted with the mysteries of that
ancient degree.
Great Record Keeper A. NJ. Slay then
addressed the meeting and gave the Sir
knights some valuable information con-
cerning the order. He congratulated
the membership upon the splendid
record made during the present year
stating that it led any previous year by
nearly 5000 in net increase.
This work has been accomplished un-
der very discouraging circumstances. as
many obstacles have been placed in the
way of our officers and deputies in
planting the order in the new fields, but
push pluck and perseverance have been
rewarded, so that on September 1st,
there were enrolled as members of tents
outside of Michigan 4,5SS. Considering
that the ground has only just been
broken in the new territory, the order is
certainly to be congratulated upon the
showing made. The total membership
Sept. /, was 1852 which was net
gain since Jan. 1, of 9,710.
At the close of the session at 2 o'clock,
substantial lunch was served, which
was very much re lished.

their official connection with the Alas
kan tribunal Senator Henry C. Lodge
OF Massachusetts and former Senator
George J. Turner Of the state of wash
ington declined to discuss the award
Of the tribunal on their arrival here.
Senator Lodge said that the members
Of the tribunal had been very hand
somely treated while in London but as
one Of the arbitrator he could not even
venture 70 say that he was satisfied
with the award and declined to say
anything about the attitude Of the
Canadian commissioners in refusing to
sign the award. He said the calling
together Of congress in special session
was no surprise to him, as he had
known Of it before leaving the United
States.
Joseph Pope, representative of the
Canadian government and one of the
assistant secretaries of the tribunal,
said that the award was of course a
disappointment from the Canadian
point Of view, but offered no further
comment, appearing anxious, however,
to ascertain how the decision had been
received in Canada. He and Mrs. Pope
left Immediately for Ottawa.
