What the Wide Awake Secret
Societies in Wilmington
Are Doing
LISTENED TO ASSESSMENT TALK.

Industry Lodge, No. ., A. Q. U. w,
had a fun house in Workmen's Han
last evening when over a hundred
members were on hand to listen TO the
subject OF the new assessment as ex-
planned by the committee appointed oy
Grand Master workman Howell for
that purpose. The subject was warm
~ discussed. not by the committee
alone. but by several members Of In
dustry Lodge. 1t was evident that
many were not backward in expressing
their views regardless Of the fact that
some arguments met with considerable
opposition. Through the efforts of the
committee considerable light has been
thrown on the subject and many OF the
skeptical ones are not taking such a
firm stand The meeting was spirit
ed one. and as the committee was
prepared to explain they did so In a
manner which is having its effect al
though there is yet much work TO be
done before the object is accomplished.

Not in the Trust

The cheapest two-cylinder tom

The Ford two-cylinder car, seat
ing four (not in the Trust is 5000.
That 5000 difference and the
splendid character and record of
the Ford are making a lot of trouble
these days.
The Ford motor car cannot be
beaten by the Trust in competition,
so they have erected a scare-crow to
frighten the public.
Already three suits have been
brought in court against the Ford
Motor Company for infringement of
patent. One suit would be enough
if the Trust were merely seeking to
uphold its rights. But the Trust
seems to think it will frighten the
public and frighten agents who sell
the machines.
We believe that the Selden patent,
on which the suits are brought, is
worthless, and
Our Guarantee
and the Ford Guarantee
protect any purchasers of the Ford
motor car against all possible trouble
on account of this patent. The Ford
Company and ourselves take all the

Garrisons on the Border.
In the course of his general review of
conditions in the department Gen. Lee
dwells upon the Importance of maintaining
sufficient garrisons on the Mexican border
Fort Clarke, he says, should be either
abandoned or rebuilt on new site; the
post at Camp Eagle Pass should be en-
larged to a two-company post or, if Fort
Clarke is abandoned, to a regimental post;
one infantry company and two troops of
cavalry should be added to Fort Brown gar
rison; Fort Mcintosh should be made
10 be continued it should be garrisoned as
an outpost of Fort Brown.
In closing his report Gen. Lee points to
the very present danger of stagnation in
promotions, which will continue for many
years and will not leave room for gradu-
ates of the Military Academy, and their as
signment as additional will be necessary
unless some remedial measures are passed
Therefore he strongly recommends a pro-
vision for the voluntary Aand compulsory
retirement of officers with an increased
grade similar to that which is obtained in
the navy and Marine Corps.
