invitation to address the public forum
of the Church of the Ascension. New

was asked to give talk on ''Labor's

wrote to Rev. Percy S. Grant, pastor
of the church, as follows:
"RefectiHg upon your invitation of
November % to deliver an address
under the auspices of the public
forum of the Church of the Ascen-
sion, there comes back to me the
consistent course which you have
pursued through your forum, a course
antagonistic to the bona flde labor

to me that departure from that
course by an. address from me would
be a waste of your time and the
time of others who may attend. in
cluding the undersigned. The old
couplet applies to you and your
forum, Convince a man against his
will. he remains of the same opinion

of the Palace Hotel. at which the
British consul is staying, but the
exiles do not mix with the hotel

brought them here, and they eN-
pressed themselves as being sorry
when the trip ended. AS the cruiser

Charles and Zita stood in the win
dows of their residence, waving fare

| There was some talk of Portu-

guard ship to prevent any possible
attempt at escape by the former
royal pair. but thus far none has
