Above all else is the contrast between the
Cadillac and the average car win
the ordinary gear ratio.
The trembling oscillation Of the latter is
transformed in the Cadillac INTO a
straight-ahead, steady motion which
reduces vibration almost to the van
ishing point.
A simple electric switch changes the gear
from low to high, and like magic,
there is added to any given speed OF
the engine an increase Of ~ per
cent in the speed of the ear.
Now recall to your mind the high repute
in which the Cadillac is held,
And then try to conceive the effect Of the
new revelation of Cadillac progress
added to all the others.
You will realize, then, that We are acting
in your interest when we advise you
TO book your order now, even If you
do not wish your new Cadillac de-
liyered for several months.
Let me demonstrate the superiority Of a
Cadillac to you.

May Muzzle Texas,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-A serious
clash may result between federals and
the Texas national guard at Browns
Vile, Texas, should the latter attempt
to cross the Rio Grande to the relief
of Americans alleged to be imprison-
ed in Matamoras.
When the war department learned
at midnight that Governor Colquitt
had issued orders for four companies
of Texas militiamen to proceed to
Brownsville, orders were telegraphed
at once to Brigadier General E. u.
Steever, in charge of the federal
troops on the border, to send to
Brownsville Immediately such force
as he deemed necessary and under
no circumstances to permit the cross
ing of the river except upon specific
orders of the secretary of war"
When word of Governor Colquitt's
action was received, Major General
Leonard Wood, chief of the staff OF
the army, recognized the danger in
the situation and Immediately took
personal charge. Over the military
telegraph line from Fort Myer he sent
imperative orders to General Steever
to utilize his force to prevent the
proposed invasion of Mexican terri
tory
