o great legitimist manifestation. Encouraged
by the death of the Prince Imperial,
and the momentary extinction of Bona
partist hopes, the leaders of the
purity resolved to celebrate the birthday
of the f'Child of Miracle" born as head Of the
elder branch of the Bourbons, of Prince Charles
Ferdinand d'Artois, Duke de Berr and of the
Princess of the Two Siciles, by banquets in
Dion, capital of the department. of Cote dor,
where the princes of Condo had their palace
and the earlier of the Bourbon kings their
castle; at Marseilles, which has never shown
strong allegiance to the family; at Perpgnan,
in the PyrenGes Orientales; at Montauban, capital
of the Tarn-et- iaronne, of the first towns to
embrace the Reformation, and consequently one
of the most subject to royalist persecution; and
at Chanbord, village near Blois, from whose
castle, presented by Louis XIV. to Marechal
Sake, and by Louis XVI. to the family of Pol
ignac, the selfstyled Henri V. took his best
ing to revive the now almost defilnct royal
ism. The price of tickets to the ban
quets was fixed at five francs. BY set
ting the price so low the leaders hoped to
attract orators from tho working classes and
partisans from the disaffectcd of every stripe
They have assumed that there is an unusual
number of persons discontented with the Re-
public, and no doubt fair sprinkling Of the
factions may be found; but their own adherents
are mostly all tindesmcn, dependent on Legitin-
ist families for their livelihood. The enus of all
the banquets are precisely identical, having on

bility of dissension or disturbance from such
troublesome Orlcanists MS M. Herve, of the
SOseil, it was agreed that no speeches should be
delivered and that the toasts should be replaced
by addresses to Chambord, uniform in text, ex-
pressing devotion to the Count and his cause,
and to be read at precisely the same hour at the
banquets by delegates named beforehand.
STIRRING MANIFESTO
The address runs as Observation-Disclosures
on the 10th of last July we assembled to cele
brate the fetc of our King. The same cry of
fidelity and of hope escaped from our hearts ON
that occasion which escapes from them now,
and you deigned to accept our homage with
august kindness. To-day. Monseigneur, We
meet again to celebrate the anniversary of your
birth. We cannot forget at this hour that on
September 20. 1920, Henri DiendonnG, Due
de Bordeaux, was Immediately selected Child
of France and of the whole of Europe. Yet
France is still without its king and Europe is
still without its France. We arc not politicians
We are but toilers in reasonable and
patriotic cause Penetrated with the necessity
of moral security we await our King-in order
that he may extend over France and over us the
protecting shelter of sovereignty, us powerful
ss 1t will be legitimate.
PATIENTLY WAITING.
We therefore thank you Monscigneur, for
having reproved those who have necessarily
sought to take advantage Of public preiu,liccs,
by having once more repeated that you would
be in the midst of us when Gods hour strikes
(Qmamd sonnera heurs dc Dicu) You have
said II will' lie lc pcur), and this phrase has
In distress. Confidence is departing and cni-
ploymcnt diminishing In proportion as
our burdens increase, VIC behold our
most precious liberties vanishing. This is
MI outrage which rcvolts our dignity,
our consciences and our honor as fathers
Of families. Nevertheless, in this daily strug-
gle we are sustained by the pioneer of the regal
heir Of Saint Louis, for ho will be the Grand
Justicier of his people. We pray that God may
listen to us, Monseigncur, and may ut last re-
store to us that father, that King, who knows
no enemies and has no other fortune TO make
than that of France. Our hearts, our arms are
already his. Let him dispose OF them as those
OF his best and most faithful subjects"
