THE PALACE ATTACK
THEIR MAJESTIES' ESCAPE MESSAGES POURING IN (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, Sept. 16. From all-parts of the Colonial Empire, telegrams continue to reach London expressing heartfelt thanks that the King and Queen escaped injury in the bombing of Buckingham Palace and indignation at the wanton attack. Typical of these is a message from the Governor of Tanganyika, who offers on behalf of the people of Tanganyika an expression of sympathy and pride and admiration for the citizens of London who, led by their Majesties, are meeting the barbarous assault of the enemy with inspiring fortitude. Special prayers of thanks for the safety of the fabric were said in St. Paul's to-day, when the first luncheon service since the removal of the unexploded bomb was held. The officiating canon gave thanks for the courage, skill, and devotion to duty of the men who disposed of the bomb.
