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.

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 SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 14. 1004. 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. Colding and Mr. T. H. Giznilliat in troduced the Savannahlans. 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. UNKNOWN WOMAN TRIED SUICIDE. Continued from Twelfth Page. waa a short time after 6 o’clock, and 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 piece of paper rolled out.

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 drilled knight royal, for one year by Teutonia Company No. 3.

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. LAST SESSION "OF A. C.

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. Uric acid crystallizes and causes gravel and kidney stones. The bladder cannot perform Its natural duties. Water which should pass off In the DOAN'S k,dn !Tlls. For Snle by nil dealers. Price 50c.
