wick points out, today never ven- lures to go beyond a gentle sus- gestion to the officers of his king dom.
 The king, in short" she writes, ''has become just a figurehead; a symbol of a power that has been seized by more grasping hands. This is one of the commonest events in history
 Lady Warwick believes that the popular movement toward abo.i- tion of war serves to increase the inevitability of the end Of British monarchy. While the king, she holds, has been deprived of any im- portant part in the actual govern- ment of his land. he has been maintained as head of the army and navy. When these two branches have been showed aside, she believes, there will then be no apparent need at all for a monarch.

WORLD HISTORY
 IN COMPACT FORM
British Poet Writes Briefly But
 to the Point

London, March IS (UP) - "A Very Short History of the World' has been written for the London la hor newspaper The Daily Herald" by Osbert Sitwell, the British poet. It is a really short history. It is in full as follows:
 Civilization had runs ts cour se. Europe had civilized America America Asia, Asia Africa. Wiii animals had been everywhere ex- terminated and resources had been developed.
 Samuel Buffers theory that pov- erty was a disease had long beAn accepted, and with no thought for the morrow, the rich had allowad the poor, as well as the unfit to ne sterilized. Consequently the ser want problem became so acute th25 the rich nearly died out, and .n the next generation there were no; even enough workers to make money for the rich.
 Soon only doctors, scientists and newspaper proprietors were ui- IO"tt lo ptSCl tlillulC Cll. IHtSE children, too. had their human ambitions. They had often been told by their teachers that races which did not wipe one another out became degenerate, that the on.y true humor was to be found il var, and that the evils that en- sued on a long era of peace were lntolerable. So they grew up 70 invent new methods of long-ds- tance killing and as no suffering was inflicted on themselves ii ceased to be cruel
 Women now not only greatly outnumbered men, but were 70 we'll educated and clever that they were too busily engaged in writ ing novels and pursuing political careers to cook and bear children. Civilization spread, refinement in- creased, until there were only two male children left in the world.
 They grew up, were men-the only men-and quarrelled. In this emergency the women were spen- did. They said, Very natural IT A man. and delivered harangues of more than ordinary eloquence
 Only one woman demurred, say ing, This is not war, but murder The men did not falter, but pro- ceeded to adjust their death ma chimes.
 One said: If it is murder it's a murder 10 end murder"
 And the other said; This will b" a fight to d finish"
 And it was.
