Past Grand Master Alex. Dittler,

authorized us to say to the people
of Fitzgerald that the Colony City

bers of the Grand Lodge by their
magnificent spirit of unity, both in

that the Grand Lodge has never
been entertained on quite so large a

phrases in the attempt to describe
his appreciation of the city's efforts
to entertain the Grand Lodge and

GRAND LODGE ECHOES

j. 7. Rdiney, of Elberton, the pop
nlar manager of the Bell Telephone
Co, and for a number of years a
representative to the Grand Lodge,
gave it as his opinion that Fitz-
gerald is the livest most hospitable
city in which the Grand Lodge has
ever convened.
Capt. c. H. Macy, the moving
spirit in the Rose Hill Lodge of
Columbus, was the proudest man in
town when his team struck up their
team song, We don't Know where
we'll 90 Next Year; We wish it was
Back Here" as if they meant it.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hutto, of Fitz-
gerald. No. So, to change the monot-
Ony, presented the Grand Lodge
with new member to the Rebekas.
Mother and babe doing well.
Brother William o. Dean, of Mon
roe. prominent attorney, was de-
lighted with the courtesies extended
to him by many of the best citizens
of Fitzgerald.
Popular Fred Heilbron, of Shiller
Lodge, Atlanta, compared the sue
cess of the Fitzgerald convention
with the Shriners' convention in the
Capital city, not in the least to the
detriment of Fitzgerald.
K. Howard Hendricks, of Column
bus. wanted to make Fitzgerald the
permanent home for the Grand
Lodge, so well was he pleased with
the royal time given all the boys.
A. B. Brown, of Columbus. the
sone writer of Rose Hill, says he got
enough inspiration in Fitzgerald to
keep him supplied with poetic ma
terial for long time.
Brother j. B.l Williams, a loyal
member and hard worker in Pied.
mont Lodge of Atlanta. and a Bap-
list divine. was another of the
brethren whose kind appreciation of
of Ftzeeral&s entertainment, provi-
ded Fhim food for eloquent praise of
the city's efforts.
Past Grand Master T. M. Hoynes,
OF Savannah. particularly wants
the people of Fitzgerald to know
that he is proud of the fact that
South Georgia has more than one
city that can successfully play host
70 the Grand Lodge, and is willing
10 cOncede that Fitzgerald has
gone Savannah one better in the
entertainment Of the 1915 cOnven-
GiOn.
DE-. j. c. Bennett, of jefferson, one
OF the many popular Odd Fellows
from North Georgia, was amazed at
the growth of the city since his visit
during the State Medical Society a
few years ago. DR.. Bennett is a
cousin of Mrs. z, v. Barden and an
uncle of Col. U, j. Bennett.

Washington, Jan. THREAT
Britain's note replying to this gov
ernments shipping protest was the
engrossing subject in official cir
cles today. Great Britain's note
was very we'll received on account
of its friendly tone. The United
States will probably await Great
Britain's complete reply, However,
further protests may be made in
cases of individual ships or car
goes.
Orders We're given by the state
department today to collect statis-
tics regarding the United States
commerce with neutral nations. This
data will be used to refute the
claim made in England's note that
contraband shipped to neutral coun-
tries was intended for re-exporta-
ton to England's enemies. This
claim by England will naturally IN
volve the principal neutral coun-
tries, Italy, Sweden. Denmark, Nor
way and Holland. These countries
probably will deny that the mere
fact that they are getting unusual
ly large quantities of contraband is
proof that they are re-exporting 1t
to Germany and Austria.
