K. of ?. Notes of Interest.

On last Friday evening, Garrett
Lodge, No. 113. Knights of Pythias
held one of the most interesting meet
ings in the history of the organiza-
ton, extending over a period Of more
than quarter Of a century, when
more than eighty members of the
local lodge were present. In addi-
ton, we were honored by the pres
ence of many members of the lodge
at Friendsville, who came to Oak
land in automobiles for the purpose of
paying fraternal visit to the local
organization.
The rank of Knight was conferred
on Esquires White, Yarger and Fra
zee.
The following-named officers were
installed to serve for the period of
six months: c. c., Fred. C. Peddi-
cord; V. c., E. Ray Jones; Prelate,
Lawrence K. Dixon; NJ. ofW., G. A.
Whorton; NJ. at A. H. L. White; l.
c., w. S. Martin; o. c.. H. L. Por-
ter; NJ. of F., H. P Stuck; K. of r.
& s., Thos. J. C. Little; NJ. of E., A.
T. Matthews.
Immediately following the install
lation ceremonies, refreshments were
served and after few interesting
talks from the membership and some
of the visiting brethren, lodge adj
journed.
The lodge room as it originally was
will soon be turned back to US and in
the near future we hope to be at
home again in this room. The men,
bership is growing so rapidly that
the present temporary room does not
afford sufficient space, hence we are
often crowded
The Pythian Sisters is now ready
to receive applications for member
ship. The initiation fee, we have
been given to understand, has been
placed at three dollars. From our
observation and understanding, it is
we'll worth your time to become a
member of this body. We now have
a membership of over fifty. Should
you desire to join make it known to
Miss Bess Hendrickson who will furnish
you with an application blank and
send it in while the fee is low, as it
is proposed to raise it to higher
figure in the future.
The Welcome Home celebration to
be held at Frostburg August goth, is
meeting with the support it justly de-
serves from the Knights, and there is
no doubt that all roads that lead to
Frostburg on that date will be over
crowded by the members and their
families on this day of recreation and
good-fellowship. This celebration
viii be in fact an immense picnic. All
kinds of amusements will be afforded
the visitors; two bands will be in at
tendance, in addition to an orchestra.
A big parade will also be held on the
morning of the goth at IL O'Clock.

My prediction that the year of 1919
would be the greatest in automobile
history is certainly coming true,
says Mr. Ollier Never in all my
experience have 7 Witnessed such a
demand for high grade motor cars
And, best of all, this demand is not
from one or two sections OF the coun-
try--it is general It was the same
everywhere I traveled-in the east
ern states the demand is strongest
because there are more people. But
the south and west demand their
share, too, in ever increasing num-
bers. We are already thousands of
cars behind in our orders. notwith-
standing the fact that we are doing
everything we can to increase pro

cans. He is the president of our great
university, one of the most important
and influential places in the United

about general disarmament.
Il have also been charged with in
consistency. In the autumn of 1914
theodore Roosevelt made a speech in
which he brought forward the IDEA of
league Of nations for the prevention
OF future wars. In the following June
of l915, speaking at Union College on
commencement, took up the same
idea and discussed the establishment
of league of nations backed by force.

following winter before the meeting
OF the League to Enforce Peace.

and the more / studied it the more
difficult the problem appeared to me.
1t became very clear to me that in
trying to do too much we might lose
all; that there were many obstacles
and many dangers in the way, and that
it would require the greatest skill and
self-restraint on the part of the ma
tions to make any league that would
really promote and strengthen and
make secure the peace of the world.

BOSTON, March 19.-The first of
the national debates on the league of
nations ended in a drawn battle here
tonight between Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge and President A. Lawrence
Lowell of Harvard University. A dis
tingulshed audience that crowded Sym
phony Hall to the doors divided it's
applause evenly between the speakers
There was remarkable demonstra-
ton at the end of President LowelPs
appeal for the league, in which almost
the whole audience joined.
There was an equal demonstration in
support of Senator Lodges bitter at
tack upon the President for ignoring
the Senate.
When Senator Lodge said, "And in
the path that George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln have walked there Il
no man too great to tread" there were
wild cheers.
The idea that the debate would be 2
Republican love-feast was quickly dis
PEELED. DR.. Lowell showed real ability
as debater and went at the Senator
with direct hard-hitting sentences in
an effort to smoke him out as to his
attitude toward an amended league.
DR.. Lowell Puts Two Questions to Lodge
81 think" he said, chat our people
have right to put to him two ques-
tions. The first is: If this covenant
were amended as you wish, would you
vote for it? In the second place. will
YOU formulate and send to the proper
quarters The amendments that you
think ought to be made?
"Now, by the arrangement between
Senator Lodge and myself, which I my
self proposed and of which I have no
complaint, I have no answer here, and
therefore I beg you all to notice
whether he does answer those ques-
tions. The first can be answered yes
or no and can be answered only yes
OR no.
"if all the amendments that you de-
sire vcre made to this coUendut, acould
you rote for 1T or not?
Second, ViU you formulate and send
to the proper plocc-and say thot for
this reason, because I believe thot If
Senator Lodge IN his position will form
nlatc his amendments and send them to
