PYTHIAHSARE |
FUMING FOR'
NATIONAL CAMP
Uniform Rank In San Antonio'
Is Reorganized and Will
Drill for Prizes.
THEY FORM “THIRD ARMY”!
Attendance at Fort Worth Ini
1912 Is Expected to Be
at Least 20,000.
In preparation for the national en
campment. which is to be held at
Fort Worth in August. 1912. the uni
form rank of the Knights of Pythias,
recently re-organlzed after seventeen
years of inactivity, will soon don
uniforms and resume the military
drills as In the gala days of Its early
existence.
The local order is composed of
forty-eight members. Al a meeting
held in the Knights of Pythias hall
a few weeks ago this novel military
organization was rejuvenated, and the
members are now only awaiting the
arrival of their uniforms to begin
active work preparatory to participat
ing In the national encampment.
Officers Are Elected.
The uniforms are expected to arrive
some time this week, when the follow
ing officers, recently elected, will be
mustered in: J. N. Nix. captain; W.
L. Schlesinger, first lieutenant; C. H.
Fator, second lieutenant; William Bai
ley and H. J. Ford, sergeants.
The uniform rank is the only fra
ternal body officially recognized and
patronized by the United States gov
ernment. It is a part of the national
military organization, listed third in
rank, the regular standing army and
the national guard holding tirst place
and second place, respectively. It
may be called out by the president
in the same way as the mint':
be detailed for duty. The war de
partment furnishes the members of
this organization with regulation guns
and equipment, and the uniforms are
the same as those worn by the officers
of the regular army.
Will (Jo After Prizes.
The uniform rank is a secret order
within a secret order, and only
Knights of Pythias who are in good
standing are eligible to membership.
The local order was disbanded seven
teen years ago when the uniforms and
other military equipment were de
stroyed by fire, but it is now the pur
pose of the members to restore all
the old prestige to their little “army”
and to walk away with some of the
prizes that will be offered at the Fort
Worth encampment.
When the tents are pitched In Fort
Worth next August, said John F.
Onion, the recent scenes at Fort Sam
Houston will be duplicated. At least
25.000 "soldiers” are expected to be
present, and there will be a “maneuver
camp” such as Texas has never wit
nessed.
Knights Will Maneuver.
The "division” will be marshalled
in one grand review, in much the
same way in which the soldiers from
Fort Sam Houston and the maneuver
camp marched through the streets of
San Antonio during the "Battle of
Flowers.” There will be tournaments
and competitive drills, and Uncle
Sam’s "third army" will spend much
of the time in maneuvering and in the
practice of military tactics, just as
if a great war was imminent.
A recruit in this novel army Is ac
cepted by the war department as
forming a part of the national mili
tary organization, without examina
tion or further qualification. tv ith
the formation of companies by the
Knights of Pythias lodges every
where, the reserve strength of the
United States army is thus vastly
augmented.
