One hundred and fifty loyal and enthu-
in the dining hall of the Riggs Hotel las,
night at the banquet given in honor OF
Hon. d. P. Markey, supreme commander
of the order, who Is regarded as one OF
the most prominent figures In the fra
ternal world today. The successful dinner
was one of the most notable of the sew
eral affairs of which Mr.. Narkey has been
the guest during his stay in Washington.
The knights were seated at small tables
ranged on all sides of the board. where
sat the toastmaster. Mr.. d. W. Gall, State
commander of the District of Columbia; !;
Mr.. Markey, and Adjutant General Sletzer.
goOdly representation was in attend
ance from each of the ten tents of the
Knights of the Maccabees In the District
of Columbia
At the conclusion of the bountiful re-
past the toastmaster was introduced by
DR.. John H. Junghans, chairman of the
committee on arrangements. who deliv
cred the address of welcome. Mr.. Mar
key was welcomed to the hospitality Of
the knights, and was then introduced to
Mr.. Gall. AS the distinguished guest
arose he was greeted with great applause.
In the course of his eloquent though
brief address he acknowledged both Off
cially and personally the honor paid him
in an invitation to be the guest Of honor
Of such notable assemblage. II the gath
ering was a fair example Of the interest
which the members of the District Of
Columbia Knights Of the Maccabees took
in their organization Mr.. Markey predicted
for them a successful future.
He touched at length on the principle
upon which the order is based. He de-
clared that the benevolent feature was
great point of its strength. The chief duty
imposed upon a Maccabee, he said, was that
he be not only true to his country, his flag
and his family. but that he be willing to
lay down his life in defence OF them. II
the Maccabees have been successful above
other organizations, he added, 1t was be-
cause of the enthusiastic interest the mem
bers took in the affairs of the order. He
thanked the press for the aid 1t has al
ways accorded the enterprises of the So
ciety.
