TEUTONIA GOLD MEDAL WON
BY KNIGHT w. r. HENGES
In the Annual Drill Held at the Pythian Castle
Last Night.

The annual drill for a gold medal was
held by Teutonia Company No 3,
Knights of Pythias. last night, in the
lodge room at the Pythian Castle.
The regular prize drill was held on
Nov, 9, when the knights of Pythias
gave their annual ball. and all of the
prizes were awarded at that time, with
the exception of the gold medal.
Sir Knight Guard W. F. Henges was
unable to attend that drill owing to a
death in his family at the time, and
as he had held the medal for two con-
secutive years, the company unani-
mously decided to postpone the contest
for the medal until last night.
The medal was presented by the
lodge and is to be drilled for each
year, the winner to wear it until the
next drill is held. Last night was the
third time the medal had been award
ed to Sir knight Guard Henges, and
ne VIII retain possession of it for an
other year.
The drill was interesting, and the
participants We're so we'll versed in the
manual of the sword that it lasted for
nearly an hour When the company
was formed it did not take long to re-
duce the number to six or seven, but

The company was drilled by Capt

Herman LANCE and Second Lieutenant

Maj. Fred Schwarz were the Judges.
After the drill, the company was form
ed and Col. Dreeson made a short pre-
sentation address as he pinned the
medal on the breast of the victor.
The medal is very handsome and
elaborate, and on the bar from which
the shield is suspended, are the words
Teutonia Company No. g. and in the
center of the shield is a lilly, one of
the embiems of the company. At the
top of the shield is an emblem symbol
cal of the order of which the COM
pany is part, while the border of the
shield is handsomely decorated with
battleaXes and lances. The whole is
surmounted by the bust of a knight in
full armor.

CAPT. HOBS0N TALKED
TO COTTON TRADE.

Was Guest of Cotton Exchange and
Met Many of Its Members.
Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson was
a visitor on the floor of the Cotton Ex-
change yesterday afternoon, where he
was introduced to a large number of
the local members of the cotton trade,
and where he made an excellent i'm
preston by a short address on the
outlook in the South from CONNER
cial and industrial point of view.
! He was accompanied to the exchange
by Rev. DR.. J. d. Jordan and Mr..
T, H, Gigmuiat. When he entered
he was met by capt. G.. P. Walker,
president of the exchange. and Capt.
Wright Hunter9 ,yice. president. and
by these gentlemen was introduced to
the others present. After chatting for
a few minutes the crowd began to call
for a sneech, and Capt. Hobson com
piled, prefacing his remarks by ex-
pressing his thanks for the invitation
that had been extended him to visit
the exchange. t
It gave him the more pleasure to
meet the members of the cotton trade
and their official organization, he said,
as he felt that upon them rested In a
large measure the task of helping the
South to the position to which she is
entitled, the head of the industrial and
commercial interests of this country.
He sketched broadly the benefits that
will accrue TO Savannah, to Mobile and
similar ports. and the territory to
which they are the outlets, by the
building of the Panama canal, and the
certain development of Oriental trade.
He said he had made special investiga-
lions into the future of the Pacific
trade, and ventured the prediction
that by the middle of the present CEN
fury the value of the trade on that
highway, would exceed that of all the
oceans at the present time.
This will be brought about, he said
by the opening up of China to the COM
merce OF this country as neutral
market. This market is so necessary
as an outlet for the manufactured
products of America, he continued, that
he thought the Savannah Cotton Ex-
change and all similar bodies in this
country should assist in creating the
feeling that a strong foreign policy
should be maintained by the national
government, especially in regard 10
the Orient, for without 1t the military
nations will CAPTURE China as their
own and, fearing the competition with
America in commerce. will shut this
country from the market as a COM
petitor.
The address was enjoyed by the au-
dience, and applause met many or
the sentiments expressed. At its close
the speaker was congratulated by
large number Of those who had heard
him.

the fact that no comforts except those

said.
America is the nation to lead the
way. In the face of and in spite Of
the other nations we should lead to

blessings will follow. he said.
Capt. Hobson closed with a plea for
every individual to do what he can to
create a sentiment for world peace and
progress and in time all nations may
become welded together. This country
can lead the way, he reiterated, only
by naval supremacy.

NAVAL SUPREMACY

DECLARED CAPT. HoBSoN.
THE REAL "YELLOW PERIL" is
TO COME FROM RUSSIA.

Conspiracy Among Military Powers
of Europe to Seize China Outlined.
Movements Heretofore in Eastern
War Have Been to Change the
Sympathies of the People of Eu-
rope and England May Now BE
Goaded to Interfere.
Naval supremacy as means of uni
versal peace was the keynote of the
lecture by Capt. Richmond Pearson
Hobson in the Lyceum Course at the
Guards Hall last night. Interesting
from the very beginning and at times
startling by reason of the. remarkable
statements made, the lectbreswas liber-
ally applauded by one of 1.-THE largest
lecture audiences that ever assembled
in Savannah.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the lecture was Capt. Hobson's ref
erence to the war in the Far East, de-
claring that the true yellow peril lis to,
be feared from Russia and not from
Japan. 1t is not Russias intention,
he said, to wage a word WAR, with
Russian soldiers but TO Capture Ehn4
and wage the world war &fths.ysll ows
soldiers. ss
The retreats of the Russian army be-
fore the Japs. he declared to be the
result of prearranged plan to- enlist
the lsympathies of the people in the,
countries that are Russia's allies. That
purpose has now been {accoinp lishee,
he said, and the next step will be to
provoke England to interfere. A world
war; compared with which all previous
wars combined. would be as nothing,
may then follow. Though this is the
present trend, Capt. Hobson does not
believe such war will take place.
without a Peer.
Capt. Hobson was introduced by
Judge George T. Cam as the gallant
naval commander from Alabama, who
for individual heroism is without a
peer in the history of the American
navy. Capt. Hobson was greeted with
cheers, before he even began his lee
ture. He thanked the audience for the
kind reception and Judge Cam for his
introduction. He was especially glad to
come to Savannah, he said, to speak
on the Importance of the navy.
In the beginning of his lecture he
dwelt upon the navy's past. The
brightest page in American or any
other history, he said, was written by
the navy. Sufficient Importance has not
been given the naval history, he said.
Almost every one is familiar with this
country's achievements on land, but
comparatively few with it's more
glorious achievements on the seas.
He cited a number of these victories,
bringing the history of the navy down
to Manila bay and Santiago.
Can Never BE Equalled.
These two victories, he declared, can
never be equalled. From Salamis
down to the present time never before
had an enemy's navy been destroyed
without the victor suffering a loss.
The American navy alone of all the
navies of the world has never known
defeat.
From the past history of the navy
Capt. Hobson passed to it's future, a
future which he predicted will be more
glorious than the past. America, he
said, is entering upon a new period In
which she is to be the great trans
forming power of the world. To prop
erly perform the great duties devolv-
ing on this country, the country's life
must be insured, he said. Naval SUI
