Mr.. Watkins spoke in part as fol-
lows:
The lesson of friendship taught by
the organization of Pythias vas never
before as vital in the development
and progress of the race as now. Over
half-century removed from emanci-
patton, we seem to be losing ground
as a race; and in spite Of our unex-
ampled valor on Flanders fields, the
Marne and at Chateau Thierry, our
lack of cohesive racial interests, our
lax organization as a race entity, our
failure to wake practical the brother
hood that shamed Dionysius and i'm
mortalized Damon and Pythias, has
recently lost Us the fight for Civil
Rights in Ohio, and ! fear will spell
disaster in some coming conflicts
right here at home.
The demonstration last Sunday had
its moral as well as its thrills Let's
close up the ranks! Steady, eyes
rightp Launch a crusade for racial
loyalty; hold up racial ideals and
teach every Negro who does not know
that the vital facts of Negro history.
Take time to interest and inform the
masses concerning every important
and epoch making happening; it is
not enough to notify the church goers
for 707e of the Negroes in Chicago
do not go to Church, and are there
fore ignorant of our plans and pur-
poses
Cultivate friendship" all for each
and each for all; be courageous. not
alone for country and flag, but for
yourselves, in the safeguarding and
protection of your own homes and
and in your "benevolenee",
remember that charity begins at
the weak Of your own
rae, remembering that we cannot rise
any higher than the lowest member |
Of the race.

AFTER morning OF rain and driZZle
with sombre, murky skies, around
noon the sun struggled through the
clouds, and its struggling rays shot
its gold upon the Haunting flage, the
bravely waving plumes and the gilt
tering uniforms of the marching
Knights.
Sunday was. the annual Sermon
and Thanksgiving Services of the
Knights of Pythias of the Cook county
District, and this organization which
is famous for its military branch as
well as the broad principles of bro
therhood and friendship upon which
the order is founded, marched with
the consciousness of a newborn pop
ularity, for in the ranks were hun
dreds and hundreds of brave men
who had done their bit" on the
fields of France and whose snappy
step and precision of evolution gave
additional pep" to the annual mill
tary display.
Promptly at 2 100 o'clock, the grand
marshal of the day, General C. L.

STREET CARS DECLINE
 IS EXPERTS BELIEF
Columbus Dispatch.l

The street railway lines of this country have not been flourishing these last few years and we have reference to no particular line. Their costs of operation have been increasing and their traffic has been falling off. But it isn't anybody's fault. It is due simply to changed conditions in this country-to the advent of the automo- bile. At least, that was the testimony recently of an expert transportation man in Boston.
 "There are 1S6,000 motor cars in Massachusetts" the expert said, land five thousand street cars, and more than the European war and the rising costs of labor and material, the motor car has been responsible for the down grade tendency of the street car sys- tenn of the United States"
 The motor car certainly has had a bad effect upon the traction lines Of the country, but it has not been fig ured as affecting the street railway system to any great extent by the casual observer. However, the street car people themselves have been reali- zing the changed conditions for some time, although this is probably the first time an expert has ventured to give the facts officially.

Practically a 100 per cent attendance of dealers was noted and there was a harmonious blending of ideas that foretold great success for the show.

taken a step toward centralized con- trol of army, navy and civil flying, conveyed the news that the only sem blance of centralized control built up in the United States had been kicked to pieces. The army air service, which only saw growth under Major General Kenly as director of military aeronautics, has been taken back and given over to the general staff
 I have before me an editorial com- ment from one of the foremost Euro pean newspapers:
 Tt is unthinkable that great country like the United States will all low this state of affairs (the decentra- lization of control, the lack of gov ernment assistance to the development of flying, and the reduction of perma- nent air stations to threei) to continue The various phases through which the service has passed during the war may serve as an example of the evils of indecision and the lack of definite and continuous policy"
 No less vital to the development oi flying for peace is a definite and con- tinuous government policy, with gov ernment support and supervision O. flying under one central authority.
