 About to leave for England, Mr. Montague remarked that since it might be a long time before they had another such meal it might be worth while taking the remains of the turkey along.But when they arrived they were rushed to Buckingham Palace and the man with the turkey in the shoebox still had it under his arm.Over the protests of an equerry, he — Montague — is alleged to have still carried the box when presented to His Majesty George V.

Having jumped to Pulitzer's "New York World" in 1919, the following year Montague covered the U.S. presidential election for them.
