The victory appeared to have been much more complete than was at first in- dicated. General Liu Chen-Neien, national- ist commander, returning to Chefoo today said his forces had taken more than 1,000 prisoners. He said a large party ot the revolters were surround- ed at Kusien, 25 miles west of Chefoo, another large party retreating toward Tengchow has been surrounded and is expected to surrender momentar- E AUTOS NOW HEAD INDUSTRY North Dakota Ripe to Place Or- ders for $24,000,000 in New Cars, He Says cluded the two big days of their chapter council and commandery fes- bi at the Mandan temple, Friday it. ‘With the conclusion of this meet- ing, there will be no big events in which the two will be combined until the Scottish Rite reunion here. A series of dates was selected for this recently, but it may be necessary to change these as a convenience and due to commandery inspection iff latter March. Tancred commandery will be inspected by George H. Russ, inspector general, of Fargo, March 21. Coeur de Lion commandery, Mandan, will be inspected on one of the dates picked for the reunion, and that would prevent attendance of the Mandan Templars in the reunion ceremonies. Eleven candidates were given the work of the council, Friday, five that of the commandery during the day and Friday evening, and four were invested with the degree Order of the Temple. A change was made in the speaker of the Friday eyening banquet, when that great American Mason, George ‘Washington, was honored. Judge A. G. Burr, of the state supreme bench, replaced his colleague, Judge L. E. Birdzell, who could not be there, and he paid a vigorous and eloquent tribute to the “Father of his Country.” A score of Masons from various parts of the state were in attendance besides the Mandan and Bismarck members of the higher orders, among the visitors being George Olmstead, Grand Forks, past potentate of Kem Temple and present grand command. er of the N.

The meeting followed the buffet luncheon served by Quanrud, Brink and Reibold. The close-up was a talk on profit oppor- tunities in autemobile retailing, given by Aron N. Benson, of Minneapolis, secretary of the Northwest Automo- bile Trades association. The audience learned from Secre- tary Benson that the automotive in- dustry was the leading industry of the country, with slaughtering of meat animals second, steel production third, and petroleum industry fourth. The distributors learned that they had cast overboard the best feature of their business when they discarded the sale of oil and the making of re- pairs. They learned that the biggest profits are in this part of the busi- ness. Also that 75 per cent of auto- mobile sales are due to the repair, garage and service station contact while automobile salesmen have bi 25 per cent of the sales to their credit. Al Lead in Profits - Pessimistic auto dealers learned {rom the Benson talk, illustrated with slide pictures projected on the wall, that in percentage of net profit, their business leads others they might be ‘thinking of entering in moments when sar sales are slack. While other forms of trade showed net profits ranging from two-tenths of 1 per cent to 3.1 per cent, the average net profit per- centage of auto retailing was 3.75 per cent, The demand for calls, they were told, has developed the industry from making half a million cars in 1913 to 4,500,000 iri 1926. Car ownership has passed the use of telephones and cars Possibly exceed in number the bath tubs.of the country. . _,In saturation, North Dakota is eighth among the states, with one car to every 4.4 persons. California. Iowa, Florida, Nevada, Oregon ai Ne- braska have higher ratios than this state.

It will | Maxwell, an Englishman, calculated take 12 years to reach the ultimate |that they must $24,000,000 . Cow paths lead to wealth, said Mr. Benson. It, .therefore, is to the ad- vantage of the automobile industry to get behind the welfare of the farmer. North Dakota, his slide showed, is Tipe for $24,000,000 worth more cars right now. Success for the distributor lies in the proper opportunity, in hard work, and ability to learn. Failures are due 2.6 per cent to competition, 15 per cent to local conditions, 32 per cent to lack of capital and 33 per cent to incompetence, he said. “There has been,” said Mr. Ben- son, “some fear that automobile buy- ing has done harm to thrift. His chart gave figures showing that the growth of automobile sales was on the same average as the growth of bank savings. Advantages of Trade Association Mr, Benson stressed the need of im- pressive buildings, good equipment and urbanity as essential to making ® success of the garage, service sta- tion and repair businesses. He showed slides of slovenly shops and slides of well equipped plants. He said both the distributing business and the service branches require dignity. Cars must be sold by the same methods that diamonds are sold. Then he led up to the subject of the Automobile Trades association. He said this provided a code of ethics, for conference in the making of leg- islation, for an employment service, for a legal department free to the members, for trade information, for used car market reports, for an ac- counting department, furnishes the Automotive Journal, issues frequent bulletins, renders traffic service, and conducts a shop equipment exchange.

The nationalist commander said it had been established reliably that General Chang Tsung-Chang was di- recting personally the movements of the’ revolting nationalist soldiers, al- though his exact location in the area affected by the fighting was not known. A Russian general, Nachaeff, who commanded his armored trains when Chang was war lord of Shan- tung, is assisting him. A considerable quantity of ammun- ition and arms was taken by the na- tionalists in the battle yesterday. This was augmented today with arrival of 200,000 rounds of ammunition on the nationalist gunboat Chuyu, which al- so brought $50,000 (Mexican) for the use of the troops. The battle, although firing was heard here only Friday, lasted two days, and apparently has dealt a tell- ing blow at incipient revolt by which Chang hoped to regain his former overlordship of Shantung. and all other trimmings that go with @ dinner.

The citizens, however, have formed &@ committee to collect subscriptions for the sufferers of the inundations. Premier Venizelos, in a letter to“the archbishop, has appealed to Greeks everywhere to contribute to the relict funds. The .Venizelos family itself has contributed $6,500. The minister of communications who returned from the flooded area last night reported incalculable loss aggravated by the intense cold and expressed the fear that fresh inunda- tions would follow yesterday's heavy snowfall. The Thracians report lack of fuel and say that unless flood waters on the Turkish bank of the Marita are checked the Greek efforts to keep the river within its banks will be useless, Several villages are being evacuated on the Island of Skyros which has sustained heavy losses and is suffer- ing from a lack of bread.
