as diversion, and as the floor was
not over-crowded, enjoyed themselves
immensely. Comparing the attend

of former fairs, the 1914 event prom
ises TO be the best attended and most
successful Of any ever held by ths
fraternity.

Ex-KING3 AIANUH 25 ON SUNDAY. ENGAGED IN
 ssWATCHFUL yVATrING.'

Manuel. the retired King of Portu7 gal will celebrate his twenty-hfth birthday this Sunday, as he was born on November 15, 1889. Like his native land, the ex-King has declared for the allies in the present war, and for this there is an excellent reason. When he was banished from the royal palace at Lisbon, Manuel sought refuge in Eng land, alike the home of exiied mon-s archs and revolutionists England re- ceived him cordially, but when the croWnIeEs King sought to influence men in high places to aid him in his plans to bring about his restoration to the throne, he was met with only the icy stare and the gelid shoulder. No thing doing. was the attitude of the British governmental who were quite content to have Portugal con- Hnue a republic.
 Spain was at first inclined to harbor the p1otters against the Portuguese republic, and to favor ManueFs cause, but, possibly influenced by English pressure, Alfonso's government soon had 8 change of heart, and the roy aIist bands who gathered along the border were disrupted by the Spanish authorities. Republican France nat aurally g1oried in ManueIs downfall, fl and Italy turned deaf ear when the Supporters of Manuel sought to fntetr- est Rome in the nonarchia1 cause. There remained Germany. In the Kaiser's country ManueIs reception I was all that he could have desired, and his heart beat high with hope. Men high in the German government were alleged toahave promised to help the exile. The ex-King then began to 1 look about for a German wife who could help to further his ambitions. When an occupant Of the throne, Manuel was said to have sought the hand of Princess Patricia. of Con- naugnt, daughter of the Governor General of Canada, and it was also rumored that he might marry the Kaiser's only daughter These matri- monial plans came to nothing, and after his downfall Manuel could no longer aspire to become thel Kaiser s son-in-law.
 After much de1iberation, and many conferences with his German advisers
 Manuel's choice fell on Princess Au- gustina Victoria of Hohenzollern. She
 was the daughter of the older non-
 reigning branch of the house of Ho-
 henzollern, and immensely wealthy ir
 her own right. The marriage, purely
 an alliance of convenience, was ar
 ranged and was duly celebrated

of Emperor William Teh presence Of the Emperor,s son was considered by the Portuguese republican govern nent as an affront, since Manuel was an active pretender to the throne.
 But Manuel was quickly disillu- stoned. Newspaper readers will recall the separation which so speedily fol- lowed the marriage, and the many wild rurnors which were circulated as to the cause of this early manifestation of domestic inharmony- The real req son, doubtless, was the brides deter imitation to keep a. firm hold on her purse-strings. Manuel had confidently expected to use his w1fe's millions to advance the royalist cause, but he was doomed to disappointment.<
 Gradually. too, his German friends in high places turned against him. Whether or not there had ever been Q in authority to help Manuel cannot be definitely. known. Certain it is that. Manuel was disabused soon after his marriage, of the idea that he could hope for anything from Berlin
 If Germany had decided to support Manuel, there can be no douht that it would have plunged Europe into war. England and France would certainly have supported the Portuguese reput-- lie, and France would have called up-. on Russia for assistance. Austria would have had little enthusiasm for such cause, and Italy would have been plunged into revolution if the government had sought to aid Ger many in such cause. Last but not least, the United States Brazil, Ar gentina, Chilea nd all the other Amer ican republics would have drowned
 upon any attempt to overthrow a sis- ter republic-and the American frown
 is not lightly regarded in Berlin. It is almost impossible to believe that Germany could ever have con-
 templated any such folly as attempt | ing to put Manuel back on his throne | Yet if we are to believe the statements l in French and Portuguese papers
 Manuel confidently expected such aid and, when disappointed, cried out that he had been the victim of a gross de- ception, that the German government had been false and f1ckle and that
 as result he had had sadd1ed upon him a wife who could be of no use ! to him whatever.
 Now the ex-King is pursuing pol | ley of ssWatcF1fuI waiting" hoping that l the turmoil Of war will bring to the
 surface some bit of wreckage on which he can, float back to Portugal and
 his throne. Considering that he has l been badly treated by Germany, the youthful exKing has let it be known that his sympathies are with the allies I in this titanic struggle.

 against Germany. Let the Kaiser Itrernblei
