PROTEST AGAINST .BANQUETING THE KAISER. "DESPOTIC AND REACTIONARY." BY TELEQRAPH— PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT. (Reo. Nov. 14, ,10.25 p.m.) London, Novomber 14. After the Royal procession, in conncotion with tho Kaiser's reception, had loft /tho Guildhall, a numbor of unemployed attempted to march through tho City. The polieo dispersed thoni, after arresting five. A telegram was thereupon sent to tho Lord Mayor protesting against tho lavish ontertainment of a despotic, reactionary Kaiser, when twelvo million Britishers wore on the verge of starvation; also insisting that it is tho Government's duty to provido work for all unemployed. The conjunction of Mr. Balfour and Birmingham and Mr. Chamberlain, and the recent cliallengo held out by Mr. Asquith (Chancellor of tho Exchet[Uor) to tho Opposition loaders to define their proposod taxes, suggest thot somothing dofinito on tho fiscal issue may at last be expocted. The charge of indefinitoness has been hurled at Mr. Balfour persistontly 'for years past. Sir Alex. Acland-Hood, member for Somerset West, is chief Conservative whip, and a tariff reformer. His speech may be.regarded as a forecast or as a pilot balloon.
