IEGTSI AZURE MAY ADJOURN THURSDAY
HAD ENTERED BUDAPEST TO
RECLAIM GOVERNMENT

VIENNA, March 29-The Austrian
government is taking every precau-
ton to prevent former Emperor
Charles from entering the country
from West Hungary just over the
Austrian border where he is reported
to have taken refuge on the estate of
a nobleman after his unsuccessful at
tempt to induce the Hungarian regent
to turn over his powers to him. 1t
is rumored, however, that he already
is enroute to Switzerland.
Former Emperor Charles came to
Budapest on Monday with the idea OF
taking the Hungarian throne but
was unable to cause the government
to fall in with his plan. Armed
guards from various organizations
have been stationed along the frontier
to intercept him should he attempt to
re-cross into Austria. Meanwhile the
little Entente comprising Czccho-
Slovakia, Jugo- Slavia and Roumania
have served notice on the Austrian
government that troops will be
marched into Austria at the slightest
indication that former Emperor
Charles is to be permitted to remain
in the country.

COMMANDERY
H0NORS LADIES
Guests at Third Annual
Banquet at st. JOhnsbury
House

The third annual ladies' night of
Palestine Commandery occurred
Tuesday night and proved a delight
full affair in every detail.
The banquet was served at Z
o'clock at the St. Johnsbury House,
under the personal direction of Sir
Knight Herbert T.. Moore and Mrs.
Moore. Covers were laid for 227 with
dainty place cards and flowers for
each guest and a sumptuous menu
splenddly served.
Twenty couples of the order were
present from Lyndonville.
Mrs. Wilkes orchestra Of six
pieces furnished an appropriate mu-
81 cal program during the banquet and
also furnished music for dancing at
the Temple later in the evening,
At the Temple after the banquet,
the Knights and their guests were
elabor9tcly entertained by Miss Ca
ilSta Conant of Boston in a varied
and most delightful program. Miss
Conant is an exponent of new art
combining singing, public speaking
and the expressing of ideas through
instrumental music and is certainly in
an entertainment class by herself.
The committee in charge of this
most successful affair consists of W.
V. Orcutt, b. S. Johnson, F. f.
Humphrey, W. B. Eastman, Donald
McGrcgor, w. A. Mclrosc, o. E..

has reason to congratulate themselves

the building was formally dedicated

At the last moment, Governor
James H Hartness was unavoidably
detained at Montpelier. A wire was
sent to Ex-Governor josiah Grout OF
this city, designating the latter as
the personal representative OF th'
active chief executive and Of the
state. The high position of speaking
for the rovernor was admirably Gls-
charged by the Hon. NJ. ,1rcut,
stron~ believer in the great benefits
TO be derived from military discipline.
He spoke briefly but hi words coy

manifested the spirit that prompted
the acts resulting in the Armory be-

Ex-Governor Grout entered the
army at the age of - and attributed
his success in later life to large
extent to the foundation he received
in military training. Six of our pres
idents, he said, emanated from the
army, and these same men would not
have become presidents if they had
not received military training.
The closing words of Hon. Grout
were particularly significant: "New-

was more instrumental, nor labored
harder to secure for Newport the
advantages Of the new Armory. Hon.
Grout spoke from the heart, in a most
