FIND SAT|SF ACTION
 IN BAKERS CHANGE !. IN FRATERNAL CASE
Kilby Says Congress Would Have Taken Action Against Showing of
 FavOritism

Local fraternal organizations which ex- pressed outraged feelings when the war department confined to Roman Catholics the fraternal courtesies of army canton ments were somewhat notified as a re- suit Of The Age-Herald's Washington dispatch 10 the effect that other brother hoods would be permitted identical privi- leges.
 Senator Bankhead, on leaving Birmins ham some days ago for Washington, promised to discuss the situation he termed unfortunate with the Secretary of War. For the promise of Secretary Ba- ker to non-sectarian secret societies that they might conduct a joint "hall' on government property, Secretary Bank head was given credit yesterday.
 The position of the senator as stat, i by him was not one of antagonism to the Knights of Columbus, but one of op- position to the granting by the war de pertinent Of exclusive rights to the Knights of Columbus. He contended that if the Knights of Columbus were permit Masons, Odd Fellows. Pythians an1 others should be given like privileges.
 Lieut.. Gov. Thomas E. Kilby of Annis ton, perhaps the first Alabamian yigor- ously to protest against the discrmina ton of the war department in favor O. Catholics, was in Birmingham yesterday That there was foundation in his protest he considered proved by the promised re- vision in the first ruling of Secretary Baker.
 ''The Secretary made grave mistake, he said, when he permitted one secret organization, the Knights of Columbus, to conduct it's activities on cantonment grounds and denied such right to other secret organizations. That action could not have had other than very serious effect I am glad to see the prediction that the Secretary will revise his original order l hope that he will do so quickly. His discrimination in favor of the Cath ollcs would have resulted in Masonic or ganizations throughout the United states critieising the war department and such criticism, in time Of war, would have been exceedingly unfortunate.
 'sFurtkermore, the discrimination in favor of Catholics would have resulted in legislation by Congress. There is no ques- ton but that Congress would not have permitted the continuation of the dis elimination. Congress knows that the Knights of Columbus owe first allegiance to a foreign prince-a foreign prince who has been working with the German Kaiser in the interest of premature and fruitless peace"
