ARCHBISHOP AND ANTHEM.
| THE HONOLULU INCIDENT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 17, 0.5 p.m. New York, June 17. The New York World has received a telegram from Mr. Parsons (a passenger on the Ventura) stating that on the Ventura leaving Honolulu the band on deck played "God Save the King" and "America." The passengers stood at attention with bowed heads, but Archbishop Mannix remained seated. The band then played "The Star-Spangled Banner," and the passengers stood at attention, but Archbishop Mannix still remained seated. He adds: "I then approached Archbishop Mannix and asked whether he realised that the band was playing the American anthem. Archbishop Mannix replied in the affirmative. I then said, 'Why don't you rise?' He replied that he did not care to. A number of passengers held a meeting and sent a radiogram to Mr. Colby (Secretary for State) on June 3, signed by eleven Americans." —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
