FORT BELVEDERE, England, De-
cember 3.-The guarded gates OF quiet
Fort Belvedere held the key today to
the amazing crisis of the British En-
pire.
Here, King Edward of England. his
brother-heir presumptive, the Duke
OF York, and his ducheSs-and Wallis
Warfield Simpson, the cause of 1t all,
put their heads together with the mon
arch's most intimate counselors.
Motor cars pausing near the gates
were ordered on instantly by sentries.
The neighbors. however, said they had
known for some time that Mrs. Simp-
son was there.
At noon the Kings car swept out OF
the gates, empty, and returned to
Buckingham Palace.
ID. c. Woman Is Present.
Also at the royal country residence
were the American, Mrs. D. B. Merry
man of Washington, Mrs. Simpsons
aunt; Mai. Ulick Alexander. keeper
of the privy purse; Col. Piers Leigh,
the Kings equerry. and Sir Godfrey
Thomas, his assistant private secre-
tary.
Tho King. informed persons believed.
could take one of the following steps
to solve the crisis brought about be-
tween himself and his ministers over
his private life with Mrs Simpson:
|. He could send for Sir Archibald
Sinclair, Liberal party leader, and ask
him to form a government, If Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin-and his
cabinet-should resign.
2. He could ask any one Of the
leading former ministers of national
reputation now in Parliament to form
government. Among them are
David Lloyd George, now in the West
Indies, and Winston Churchill.
Churchill Is Mentioned.
Many thought Churchill, outstand-
ing public figure of the empire. would
be his best bet in the critical Euro
pean situation.
Churchill has been discussed wide
" as Baldwin's successor, since the
present prime minister's resignation
has long been expected, at least after
next years coronation.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville
Chamberlain is the Conservatives
generally accepted choice for the next
premier, but Churchill's aggressive
fight for British rearmament has re-
stored his political prestige to the
high point he enjoyed when he had
the navy in trim for action at the
outbreak of the World War.
None of the Kings choices however,
likely could command a majority in
Commons, or even throughout the
country. in the general election which
would inevitably follow his selection.
Then the King, following constitutional
procedure, would have to recall Bald
win, perhaps on Baldwin's own terms.

deeply concerned lest her friendship
with Edward affect adversely either
his personal interests or the welfare
of the British realm.
She will stay by his side until the
King, himself, sanctions her departure,
moreover.
The Duke of York arrived at
Belvedere early today with his wife
after their return to London from
Edinburgh.
Crowds of curious Londoners. mean
while, were congregating in front of
No. 10 Downing street. Prime Minister
Baldwin's official residence.
Mrs. Simpsons friends were declared
to have advised her to leave England.
The King, however, refused to allow
her departure until his own future is
decided reliable sources said.
The King called his personal advisers
among whom he numbered his
brother, the Duke of York. who would
succeed him should the British throne
be vacated in the governmental crisis
into conference on the next move in
the grave SITUATION.
Obstinate cabinet members also
rushed their campaign to force King
Edward to renounce his friendship for
the former Baltimore belle.
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor OF
the exchequer, and his wife went into
No. IL Downing street with Douglas
Hacking. chairman Of the Conservative
party. Lord Halifax, lord privy seal,
arrived at No 10.
The crowd outside grew as the
minutes wore on. new arrivals con-
versing with their neighbors on the
gravity of the situation.
The financial district clamored for .
quick statement on the governments
position in its constitutional fight with
the King over Mrs. Simpson.
Financial leaders expressed fear over
possible effects on the stock exchange
and the money market. Business was
almost suspended from todays opening
awaiting the outcome Of the unprece-
dented situation.
British government securities drop
ped a quarter Of a point. Other
markets were stagnant. Traders re-
fused to deal.
The British public, which today was
learning Of Mrs. Simpsons association
with the King through newspapers
which finally named the American
woman after weeks of veiled COM
ment, still had little knowledge of how
close she stood in the royal councils.
Few knew Mrs. Simpson was with
the King and the Duke and Duchess
of York at the country residence.
She stood at the Kings side, how
ever, in the critical hours which may
decide the future of the British throne

Even Downing street and other gov
ernment quarters. speaking privately.
but with unusual freedom, echoed this
statement.
Speculate Immediately turned to
whether the King, for the time being,
had swept Baldwin's attack away by
advising him he had made no ar
rangements to marry Mrs. Simpson,
and had no intention of doing so unless
he had the support of his ministers for
an arrangement of his private life
which would be satisfactory to him
self to his church and to his govern
ment.
Winston Churchill, famous political
dark horse, who in recent months has
repeatedly and effectively baited the
Baldwin administration on the arma-
ments issue, sought without avail to de-
termine whether Baldwin would insure
that no irrevocable step would be taken
before Commons was told of it.
Some who heard him considered he
was attempting to forestall the govern
ment in any move designed to force
the King to abdicate before both the
House of Commons and the British
public generally have chance to make
up their minds on the subject.
From guarded Fort Belvedere. King
Edward let 1t be known he will fight
to the finish on the constitutional
issue which has been raised against
him by his ministers insistence that
he renounce his twice divorced Ameri-
can friend.
If he loses it might even mean
abdication-but those who know the
King we'll said this afternoon that
even that extreme would not break up
his friendship for the woman whose
name has become anathema to the
British government and the Church
Of England
Whatever the outcome, it was
learned on excellent authority, Mrs
Simpson probably will leave England
soon and seek seclusion either on the
continent or an ocean voyage.
She will remain away for several
months, but does not intend to go to
America.

During the service she asked that
She might kneel and lead a praqer

those who had taken care of her
she knelt and prayed earnestly

hidden her self in Christ Jesus so
that her heart was not conferred
on her self but on others Tor
whom she prayed.
Truly this community has lost

have been frightened by knowing
her. We know more about that

entered, and if We'll just turn on
