SOUTHPORT, Oct. 21.-A lot of
coastal jewellers regret the transfer
of Lieut.-Col George W. Gillette
from the U. S. Army engineers Of
flee in Wilmington, both from the
TACT that he has been very consci-
entious in the discharge of his duties
and that he has never hesitated to
go far out of his way in having
work done, If it would benefit the
people.
For two years he has been making
a comprehensive study Of all water
ways in his district. His purpose was
to gather facts and figures that
would. assist in revealing potential
tiles. AS the. Colonel is regarded at
Southport, he is first an army engi-
neer and secondly he is a nan who
uses all means at his command to
aid in the public welfare. .
Recently newspapers of the state
have frequently referred to his
knowledge of the waterways. Colonel
Gillette is my friend, he has fire.
quently said I was his friend. I be-
lieve Lam. Still, even knowing him
intimately, as I do, I have never
been able to grasp the full depth of
this interest in the Wilmington engi-
neers district. He is far too deeply
interested. and engrossed for anyone
save himself to see the full scope of
the plans he has made, many of
which he has carried through. Many
others, sad to relate, still incomplete
when orders came to transfer him
elsewhere.
While it is the practice to transfer
army officers from post to post, keep.

been made to keep him at Whining.
ton.
In fairness to Colonel Gillette, the
above statement is made without his
knowledge. He is too much of a
soldier to even remotely suggest that
the orders of superiors are not as
they should be-. Only two or three
nights ago I was walking with him
on a dock at Southport and he said:
Il have nothing to do with any at
tempt to have orders 'rescinded. To
me, orders are orders, but if the war
situation clears up, I hope I will be
sent back here some time"
Several times each year, this in
formation not coming from him, Col.
Gillette goes to Washington with a
big portfolio Of pictures, showing
scenes on the inland waterway, from
Manteo to the South Carolina line.
He shows these pictures to the army
engineers, to senators and congress-
men, and points out the possibilities
OF greater development.
We have no information as to Col.
Gillette's record as an army engi-
neer, outside of the fact that we
know it has always been rated very
highly. Were we to make an effort
to get a copy of his record, from him
personally, we would probably be
soundly snubbed. He does not mind
being accommodating in anything, but
he already has US rated as a pub
licity hound. That is alright with
him, SO long as the publicity is rela-
tive to matters on his beloved water
ways.
When it is something strictly
about him and his work, he is sure
to be found not receiving that day.
He is n of those chaps about whom

~Conjectural
Whether that in part motivates
British strategy, or whether the in
vasion threat still is the first prin.
ciple guiding Britain's high com
mand, is conjectural. It seems
probable, however, that the bombing
"avanlanche" is a hopping up op.
Grafton primarily, designed not only
to avert any surprise invasion at.
tempt but, also prevent use of the
ports by German submarines.
Once British leadership is convinc-
ed those objectives have been
achieved, Germany probably will be-
come the prime target of British
bombers, or possibly northern Italy.
The hopping up along the channel
obviously is a prelude to wider ex-
pansion of Britain's counter attack
by air.
Yet that does not seem to be
what either A. V. Alexander, first
lord of the admiralty, or Lord Lloyd,
British colonial secretary, had in
mind in telling London audiences
that Britain would take the often

RaneyC Chevrolet Co. Introduces
Vastly Improved 1911 Models

Chevrolet, which led the indus
try in sales in 1910, makes isn bid
0 continued pre-eminence, in
l94l, with two series Ct new cars,
IN which modern streamlin styl-
ing, and larger, roomier bodies,
combine with numerous mechani-
cal improvements.
The new models will be on dis
play today at the Raney Chevrolet
company.
The Chevrolet vacuum power
shift is standard on all models of
both series, at no extra cost.
Bodies r longer, wider, and
more massive looking. Wind
shields, rear windows, and upper
portion of sides of body are in
creased in slope, and the tops of
side windows are one inch lower
than in $40.
The cars sleek appearance is
heightened by the omission of run-
ming boards, as well as by the use
of concealed hinges on all doors
and trunks, the sole exception be-
ing the rear deck door hinges OF
the coupes and cabriolet. Sides of

set in the tenders just beneath.
Interiors are roomier as well as
more luxurious. They embody nu-
merous refinements. Rear seats
are lower. There is greater room
across the seat cushions, and also
at elbow and shoulder levels. Front
seats are substantially wider, and
are adjustable, and those in two
door models have convenient di'
vided-type backs.
Treatment of the instrument pan
ell is especially pleasing. On the

beige with a contrast of wood

attractively by mean of bright
metal trim. The instrument clus
