Worried Again About that
Oath OF Treason and Murder!
knights of Columbus LIED About
the Swords, LIED About the
Rifles, and LIED About
the Oath.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. J

You couldn't guess, in coon's age; and for
fear you won't believe ''that little Red-headod
Devil, down the Georgia Railroad" I'll read
1t to you out of book.
The historian, Martin Hume, says, on page
81 of his "Wives of Henry VIII" that Crom-
we'll spoke to the King as follows:
Sire, the Pope refuses you 4 divorce
why wait for his consent? Every Englishman is
master in his own house. and why should not YOU
be SO in England. Ought foreign prelate to
share your power with you? 1t is true the bishops
make oath to your Majesty; but they make
another to the Pope Immediately afterwards
which absolves them from it. Sire, you are but
half a king, and but half your subjects
Your kingdom is two-headed monster: will you
bear such an anomaly any longer? Frederick and
other German princes have cast off the yoke Of
Rome. Do likewise; become once more king
govern your kingdom in concert with your lords
and commons
With much more of such talk Cromwell fattered
the King who probably hardly knew whether to
punish or reward such unheard-of boldness; but
when Cromwell, prepared for the emergency,
took from his pocket copy of the preIates' oath
to the Pope, Henrys indignation bore all before it.
and Cromwells fortune was made. He at once
obtained a seat in Parliament $500, and took
the lead in the anti-clerical measures which
eliminated in the emancipation of the English
clergy from the Papacy, and their submission to
the King.
What was the oath which so startled the
King and decided him to defy the Pope, rule
his own realm, and chop the heads off those
priests who refused to forswear allegiance to
the foreign potentate?
That oath is published in Burnetts ellis
tory of the English Reformation" it is pub
lished in the proceedings of the Council of
Trent. it has been Reproduced, again and
again, in standard books in this country.

disaster to himself and others. His nerve is
constantly on a strain. His mind must be

GERMANY FACES SURE
 DEFEAT IN THE VERDuN
 REGION SAYS AN EXPERT

LONDON. June 24.-In diagnosing the strategy of the Germans at Yer dun. and their persistency in a hope less attack. a military writer points out that Germany will ultimately be defeated by a combined general offensive on all fronts; thus she will be unable to take advantage Of her interior lines of communication to shift her masses from one front to another. Realizing this. Germany chose time when the Russians were tied up by the closing of Arch angel. and the lack of munitions. and attacked at Verdun. while the reservts, were simultan- eously posted opposite the British sector. Thus. had the British anau- gurated an offensive to release the Verdun pressure. the entire weight would have been shifted on the British. inflicting such punishment and would put the British forces off the offensive for the rest of the year. The Italian activities were doubtless in induce the Italian ap- peal for counter-offense also. Jof- fre's strategy in having the English take over part Of the French front. releasing his own troops for Yer dun, has frustrated this.

PARADE TO BE
 A BIG FEATURE
 ON THE FOURTH

The preeminent feature of the Fourth of July celebration this year will be the big preparedness parade. This is conceded even by the sports committee. although the sports com mittees have had charge of all the big features of the celebrations passed. This does not mean that the base ball games, and the races and other contests are to be less notable. but the parade is to be the biggest thing which Juneau has ever done.
 The idea of this parade has found hearty response with the business men and the citizens of Juneau gem orally. for Juneau is for prepared ness to the core. It is desired to have the sort of demonstration in which everybody can take part The committee which has the parade m charge is in session in Grover Winn s office this afternoon.
 At it's session at Chairman Pat Scotts office last night, the sports committee were unable to agree on a schedule for the baseball games Perseverance is strongly opposed to playing two games. either on Sunday or on the Fourth. 1t is considered possible at this time that Juneau and Thane will play first on Sunday or the team to play Perseverance may be selected by lot, so that the final game may be played on the Fourth.
 The sports committee have also de- cided that five races shall follow tn parade on the morning of the Fourth; the Marathon, which is 10 be run from Thane to Burford's cor ner: 25. 30 and 100 yard dashes; a 50-yard obstacle race and a three legged race.
