NAVAL SUPREMACY
MEANS PEACE
DECLARED CAPT. HOBSON.
THE KEAL “YELLOW PERIL” IS
TO COME FROM RUSSIA.
Conspiracy Among Military Powers
of Europe to Seise China Outlined.
Movements Heretofore in Eastern
War Have Been to Change the
Sympathies of the People of Eu
rope and England May Sion Be
Goaded to Interfere.
Naval supremacy as a 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 lecture Was liber
ally applauded by one ofi the largest
lecture audiences that ever.assembled
1 -t
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 Tie {p
be {eared from Russia and not from
Japan. It is not Russia’s intention,
he said, to wage a world “war. with
Russian soldiers,, hut to
and wage the world Wat wKh?yl}lS\sC
soldiers.
The retreats of the Russian grthydje*
fore the Japs, he declared- to bethd
result of a prearranged to' enlist
the sympathies of tb# people in the
countries that are Russia’s allies. That
purpose has now been accomplished,
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 a war will take place.
Without n Peer.
Capt. Hobson was introduced by
Judge George T. Cann 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 lec
ture. He thanked the audience for the
kind reception and Judge Cann 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 its 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 its future, a
future which he predicted will be more
glorious than the past. America, he
said, is entering upon anew 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. Nava! su-

I premaey, and naval supremacy alone,
can do this.
Industrialism Against Militarism.
The contest between industrialism
and militarism is on. To live in
peace this country must have a great
standing army or a great navy, or
both. An immense army would in
volve an immense expense and even
then Would not keep foreign powers
from our shores. A navy alone can
do that. A large navy would not
subject the country to the dangers of
militarism. With the navy the cost
would be less and an enemy could
never reach our shores. Naval su
premacy is necessary to protect the
property as well as the life of the
country. Russia, Capt. Hobson de
clared. would now mortgage her em
pire for a generation for ten good
warships.
Simply Elemental Intelligence.
The provision for a large navy would
simply he an exhibition of elemental
intelligence, he said. This country can
no longer be regarded as shut off from
the rest of the world, he said. We
Produce for the world and we should
look out for the demand. The South
is vitally interested in the Far East,
because there is a market such as the
world has never dreamed Of. It is
time, he said, for this country to In
augurate an Oriental policy.
He gave a pathetic picture of condi
tions in China. The Chinese should
be allowed to work for the world, he
said, a.n.d to enjoy the world's products
that their labors would buy. The Chi
nese are a superior people tn every
way to the Japanese. It is simply
that they have never had the chance
that they are what they are. We should
’ look on as a spectator In tlie
Bast, and open up China, the great
market of the world.
Military Conspiracy.
A outlined tils belief oh
existence for ten years of a con
spiracy among the military powers of
Europe to” seize China. After Japan
defeated China, he said, a treaty was
a boar .to be signed giving the Japa
nese territory, when a Russian admi
ral interfered. Ito for the Japs pro
tested and other European officers
backed up the Russian admiral. After
declaring for the preservation of Chi
■na, Russia left the Conference to seize
Manchuria. This was the first step
towards seizing China, and the present
war is for the purpose of preparing
for the other step. The people of the
military powers were at first in sym
pathy with Japan. The Russians have
retreated before the Japs, while the
Germans raised the cry of “Yellow
Peril,” for the purpose of changing
this sentiment, he said.
“We may think Russia has been
worsted,’’ said Capt. Hobson, “but she
has simply conducted a campaign ac
cording to a prearranged plan.”
He made the statement, he said,
without detracting from the courage
of the Japs on land and sea. Efforts
will now be made to excite the Chinese
and then the dismemberment of Chi
na will follow. If it comes in that
way It will mean a third of mankind
under the military yoke. It is a move
to get control of the yellow race by the
milltarv powers of Europe. They are
expecting England to interfere, and are
prepared for this interference, he said.
America should take a stand with the
peace forces, declaring that we have
every right there to save the world
from a military yoke. With an ade
quate navy this could be done.
Horrors of k World War.
Capt. Hobson pictured the horrors
of a world war in a vivid manner.
Such a war would follow the military
powers taking China, he said. Russia
would ultimately get it all and turn
the yellow men against the Industrial
nations. The sun would set on this
generation in blood and would rise
again In blood on the coming genera
tion Civilization would be halted and
mankind turned back towards sav
agery. This condition, he believed,
would not come true. He looks to
America, between Europe on one side
and Asia on the other, to be a scale
of justice, for the world. Each Indi
vidual would strive by the creation
of public sentiment to advance the
feeling for a strong navy and for uni
versal peace. Nations, like men, have
duties, he said, and America with her
ten talents Is expected to bring forth
good fruit. The Monroe doctrine, which

TEUTONIA GOLD MEDAL WON
BY KNIGHT W. F. 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
urtable 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 etich
year, the winner to wear it until the
next drill is held. Last night was the
third time the medal bad been award
ed to Sjr Knight Guard Henges, and
he will retain possession of it for an
other year.
The drill w*as interesting, and the
participants were so well 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
when the ranks were reduced to Sir
Knights W. F. Henges, John F. Fi3her,
J. D. Siem and Henry Toubsing, it re
our forefathers applied in this hemi
sphere, should embrace the world, he
said.
America is the nation to lead the
way. In the face of and in spite of
the other nations we should lead to
industrial development and universal
peace. Establish peace and the other
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.
After the lecture Capt. Hobson held
a reception in the Guards’ club par
lors and met many of the audience.
Col. A. R. Lawton, .Maj. W. W. Wil
liamson, Judge George T. Cann, Mr.
George C. Heyward, Commander H. S.

CAPT. HOBSON TAU(ED
TO COTTON TRADE.
Was Guest ( Cotton Exchangee an<l
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 im
pression by a short address on the
outlook in the South from a commer
cial and industrial point of view.
He was accompanied to the exchange
by Rev. Dr. J. D. Jordan and Mr.
T. H. GlgmUiat. When he entered
he was met Capt. G. P. Walker,
president of the exchange, and Capt.
Wright Hunter,i,yjce president, and
by these gentlemen was introduced to
the others present. After chatting for
a few minutes the crowd began to call
for a speech, and Capt. Hobson com
plied, prefacing his remarks by ex
pressing his thanks for the invitation
that had been extended him to visit
the exchange.
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
tions into the future of the Pacific
trade, and ventured the prediction
that by the middle of the present cen
tury 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 a 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 assißt in creating the
feeling that a strong foreign policy
should be maintained by the national
government, especially in regard to
the Orient, for without It 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 of
the sentiments expressed. At its close
the speaker was congratulated by a
large number of those who had heard
him.

darkness had already set In.
Mr. Nelson and Mr. Cox were stand
ing on the veranda wondering where
the woman went when they heard the.
pistol shot ring out on the crisp even
ing air. At first it was difficult to lo
cate the direction from which It came.
The two men quickly went to the steps,
leading to the board walk, and gazing
down on the white sand, still damp
from the tide which had recently cov
ered It. was the prostrate form of the
young woman. There was a glint of
something bright in her hand, and a
•mall, thin line of smoke was curling
upward. On reaching the woman's side
It was found that life waa not ex
tinct, but a stream of blood had al
ready forced Its way through her white
waist.
Wound In the Breast.
The prostrate form was quickly car
ried to the Qssino veranda and a tele
phone call sent to Dr. O. R. White. It
was perhaps an hour before the physi
cian arrived, and he at once saw the
necessity of warmth for the women. A
fire was hastily built, and an impro
vised pallet provided for her to lay
on until the ambulance arrived.
A hasty examination was made by
Dr. Waite. The bullet was Just in
the middle of the breaat, probably
striking and flattening against the
breast bone. When the bosom of the
woman’s waist waa opened a email

judges to detect any errors in their
movements. These four knights exe
cuted each order of the commander
with skill and readiness, and dropped
out on the slightest technicality, until
only Knight W. F. Henges was left.
The company was drilled by Capt.
H. F. G. Kramer, First Lieutenant
Herman Lange and Second Lieutenant
J. H. Murken. Col, H. E. Dreeson and
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. 3." and in the
center of the shield Is a lilly, one of
the emblems of the company. At the
top of the shield is an emblem symboli
cal of the order of which the com
pany is a 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.
On the back of the medial appears the
following words: “Presented to best

she removed her hat and coat about
the middle of the river walk, leaving
them there. No one saw her do this
but the articles were later discovered
there.
As she had done this in the bath
room prior to her discovery there tt t
presumed she had intended to commit
the deed In there. Lessee Nelson's
summary order to keep out probably
prevented this. It was the belief of
Mr. Nelson at the time he ordered the
woman away that she might attempt
to drown herself. The weapon with
which she shot herself was new. It
had. beyond doubt, been purchased for
the occasion. It was a bulldog of 32
caliber.
SnlYered from Exposure.
A distressing feature of the case was
the fact that no comforts except those
hastily improvised existed for the re
lief of the injured woman. For an
hour she remained on the Casino porch,
her head pillowed .on some garments,
and a light overcoat thrown over her.
There was no fire by which she could
be taken.
At the doctor's request a fire was
built in the ball room, the doors dosed
and a cot of benches constructed. Oil
this the woman was stretched out with
little beneath or above her. Finding
it Impossible to warm her in this po
sition she was laid before the fire upon
the floor until the arrival of the am
bulance at about 8:30 o’clock, two
hours after the deed was committed.
Under those conditions the woman
suffered as much by reason of her ex
posure as by reason of her wound.
After all this came her long ride to
the city. She could hardly have se
lected a more propitious time or better
place for her deed. Had Lessee Nel
son been away she might have suffer
ed for hours before relieved by death.

When the kidneys are sick there ts
always a warning to tell you of it, and
when the kidffisys call for help there is
no time to lose. Kidney diseases are
common and fatal, cause more deaths
every voar than any other human Ills.
But In nine oases out of ten this Is due
to neglect. Kidney disorders are esatly
contracted, but Just as easily cured
when treated properly and in time.
Common causes of kidney troubles
are colds, fevers, exposure, strains on
the hack, blood poisoning diseases,
and indulgence in stimulants.
The kidneys are the blood filters and
when they become sick, the blood is
soon laden with impurities, which the
kidnevs have failed to remove. This
causes backache, stiff, lame and sore
muscles, aching joints, spells of dizzi
ness. headaches, rheumatic pains,
sleeplessness, nervousness and lan
guor, weak heart and many other
bodily aches and Ills.
Meanwhile the kidneys are fast
breaking down, and from this cause
the urine becomes discolored and full
of sandy sediment: passages are too
frequent and often painful.
